I have have performed some small touch-up paint fixes but these are not noticeable unless looking very closely. I have owned the M5 for slightly less than a year. I love the car but have recently purchased another sports car, so unfortunately, the M5 has to go. ** Carfax shows an accident around 26K miles if I remember correctly? I bought the car with about 60K and have experienced no evidence of the accident. My BMW mechanic sees nothing to cause him any concern also.

The engine sounds fantastic and pulls very strong. It is a true beast. I have the paperwork on all of the repairs / upgrades I've performed on the car. All work was done by a local BMW specialist. What I have done is the following:

o engine work required in order for the car to pass CT emissions, work performed, car passed with no problem

o 2 Mass Air Flow Sensors just replaced

o New Water Pump installed

o New Fuel Filter

o Air & Cabin Filters replaced

o Castrol Edge Synthetic oil change

o New right rear tail lamp installed

o New inner hood liner (insulation)

o The car came with a center armrest/car phone holder. It offered no storage. I installed a small storage compartment (meant for the M5)

All parts are BMW OEM, no generic, no-name parts used. I personally machine polished & waxed the car in Sep'13. 3 new OEM M5 refurbished wheels. Unmarked, like new., no curb rash or dings. One note on the wheels - they should all be "shadow line" which is kind of a gun-metal. I originally replaced 3 wheels in Jul'13 and I then replaced the 4th wheel this past October with a brand new non-refurb wheel. I didn't realize until after the 4th wheel was installed that it was the regular (lighter) colored silver. I will replace the left rear wheel with either a brand new refurb. or a new non-refurb as part of the sale. You are welcome to the wheel that is currently on the car also. If you do a search on refurbed BMW wheels, you'll find a few suppliers. The quality is outstanding and there is no difference in the appearance or quality of these wheels vs. a new, never used wheel. I used "Original Wheels" and "All Factory Wheels."

There are no error lights (check engine, etc.) at all. Also, there is no MP3 or iPod jack, but I have a cassette adapter that plugs into your phone to allow you to play your iTunes, Pandora, or even Sirius music (subscription required.) There is a 6 CD changer in the trunk that works sporadically, so I do not use it. Also, the car never came with a spare (from the factory), but I purchased a mini spare from a BMW parts specialists on-line. I have never used it and I can't be 100% sure it will fit, even though it was purchased as fitting an '01 M5. There is a little display pixelation which is common in the E39. It's not an issue imo, but on one of the mileage numbers, it is noticeable at times (not for all numbers.)

Note: I have the blue part of the BMW roundels colored in red. These are simply vinyl inserts that you or I can peel off. There was no glue used in the process and the original roundel is underneath. If you're looking for an extremely clean E39 M5, I'm confident you would be very happy with this one. Thanks

Payment is due in 7 days, no warranty.

BMW i8 added to exotic Dubai police fleet

Thu, Mar 12 2015

Apparently the Dubai Police is ready to start expanding its vast collection of exotic cars yet again. After taking a little while off from new purchases, the cops there recently added a Lexus RC F to the stable, and now the force has gone green – well, kind of. The latest high-performance vehicle to wear the green and white livery is a BMW i8. While the video above isn't in English, the clip is self-explanatory by showing off officials getting out of the high-performance hybrid coupe and taking a walk around it. With a total output of a mere 357 horsepower, the i8 is practically the economy entry in the Dubai Police fleet that includes a Bugatti Veyron and McLaren MP4-12C.

Editors' Picks November 2023: Toyota Grand Highlander, Buick Envista and some lovely luxury vehicles

Fri, Dec 1 2023

It's been a month since we served you with the full lot of Autoblog Editors' Picks, and that master list is going to continue to grow as more new cars enter the market. For November 2023, we have a trio of SUVs coming in at various sizes and price points including the Buick Envista, Toyota Grand Highlander and Mercedes-Benz GLS. And if you're looking for a convertible sports car, the BMW Z4 is one that should make your shortlist, as it finds its way into this month's of Editors' Picks, as well. In case you missed previous Editors' Picks posts, here’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get an EditorsÂ’ Pick designation. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in November that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Limited Hybrid Max View 25 Photos Quick take:Â The Hybrid Max is the one to get, but the Grand Highlander comes highly recommended for its added space, nicer interior and fuel efficient powertrains. Score:Â 7 What it competes with:Â Kia Telluride,Â Jeep Grand Cherokee L,Â Chevy Traverse,Â Honda Pilot,Â Subaru Ascent,Â Ford Explorer,Â Toyota Highlander,Â Mazda CX-9,Â Kia Sorento,Â Buick Enclave,Â Nissan Pathfinder,Â VW Atlas,Â Mazda CX-90 Pros: Two hybrid powertrain options; exceptional cargo space; usable third row; refined and quiet ride. Cons:Â Expensive for the segment; the lesser hybrid powertrain is noisy and slow. From the editors: Senior Editor, Electric, John Beltz Snyder Â— "The Grand Highlander is a nice alternative to the standard Highlander for the Toyota faithful for its usable third row. The choice of powertrains is a huge boon, too, whether you want a fuel-sipping hybrid, or solid gas engine or a more robust hybrid with extra performance. YouÂ’re just going to have to pay a little more for it all." In-depth analysis:Â 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Review: A strong, new three-row contender Â 2024 Buick Envista 2024 Buick Envista Sport Touring front three quarter View 19 Photos Quick take:Â The Envista is one of our top subcompact SUV picks. It packs tremendous value into a compelling design that looks far more expensive than it is. A homerun for Buick.

BMW and Samsung enter expanded battery agreement [w/video]

Fri, Jul 18 2014

What's good for the goose is good for the gander. In this case, the goose is BMW and the gander is Samsung. And their five-year plan has worked out well. The German automaker this week expanded its current agreement with the South Korean battery-making giant. BMW and Samsung SDI reached a memorandum of understanding for Samsung to keep making batteries for BMW's growing stable of i3 battery-electric and i8 plug-in hybrids as well as yet-to-be revealed hybrid models. No dollar amount or new time frame was revealed, but with BMW already moving about 5,400 i3 vehicles during the first six months of the year, there should be a substantial amount of funds changing hands. BMW started working with Samsung in 2009 when it began buying batteries for its Megacity electric vehicle from SB LiMotive, a 50-50 joint-venture between Samsung SDI and Bosch. Things have been looking up for Samsung since last August, when Tesla Motors decided to diversify its battery supply chain by branching out beyond Panasonic and buying some of its lithium-ion batteries from Samsung. Feel free to check out the Samsung-Bimmer press release, along with a video report, below. BMW Group and Samsung SDI expand partnership BMW Group and Samsung SDI expand partnership: Signing of a memorandum of understanding for delivery of further battery cells in signing of MoU for delivery of further battery cells Seoul. The BMW Group and Samsung SDI plan to expand their supply relationship for battery cells for electro-mobility. The two companies signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to this effect today in Seoul. Samsung SDI will supply the BMW Group with battery cells for the BMW i3, BMW i8 and additional hybrid models over the coming years. The most important elements of the agreement are the increase in quantities delivered over the medium term, in response to growing demand for electro-mobility, and further technological development of battery cells. Dr. Klaus Draeger, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, responsible for Purchasing and Supplier Network: "Our partnership with Samsung SDI is a good example of successful Korean-German cooperation on innovative technologies. The battery is a key component in every electric vehicle – since it basically determines the range and performance capabilities of the car.
