What I have for sale is my 2001 BMW M5 (E39) with just under 67,000 miles. This vehicle has been used for leisure driving since the day it left the BMW lot. Majority of its life was spent covered in my garage as a hidden trophy. The Titanium Silver Metallic exterior is in mint condition with no dents, rust, ect. The exterior of the vehicle is beautiful and stylish. Grab your magnifying glass and spend your day looking for a blemish, because you won’t find one. The interior of the car makes the other fully loaded vehicles in my driveway (2010+) look cheap and fake. The Silverstone leather interior is flawless with no cracks or tears. You can feel the quality of the material by running your hand along the texture of the seats as well as the suede headliner. The bucket seats provide supreme comfort ability while delivering the support needed for the monstrous power under the hood. Every single power function on the vehicle works without issue. You’ll need to flip through the manual because this BMW is fully equipped. There are no dead pixels in any of the displays (common BMW trait), nor are there any glitches with any of the gadgets. Let’s go right ahead and talk about the real reason you’re interested in this vehicle. The 5.0 V8 mated to the 6-speed transmission, turning this family sedan into a beast respected by every car enthusiast. This BMW is mechanically perfect, end of story. No funny business under the hood, this car was meticulously maintained. There was a new clutch installed at 50k, new brakes (rotors and pads), installed at 66,000, and new Continental DWS tires installed 300 miles ago. The only items on the vehicle that need to be replaced are the brake pad sensors. When the brakes were replaced, the incorrect sensors were purchased. Since the brake performance wouldn’t be affected, I decided to have the brake job completed without the sensors and have them replaced at the next oil change. The two sensors are cheap and simply require the removal of the wheel to install. The title is clear and this vehicle has never been in an accident. I encourage you to contact me and set up an appointment to look at this beauty yourself. I guarantee you’ll fall in the love the second you hear the exhaust tone. Message me for any questions and concerns. Thanks for looking!

Bond in Motion car exhibit coming to L.A.'s Petersen Automotive Museum

Tue, Sep 14 2021

The Petersen Automotive Museum was already a must-see for any car enthusiast visiting Los Angeles, and it's about to get a little better should you also be a James Bond fan. Opening Sept. 25 in the museum's appropriately named Grand Salon gallery will be the "Bond in Motion" exhibit of more than 30 cars, motorcycles, boats, submarines, helicopters and scale models used during the creation of the 24 official James Bond films. The timing corresponds with the Oct. 8 release of "No Time to Die," the upcoming 60th anniversary of the first Bond movie ... and hey, the release of our "All 24 James Bond movies ranked only by their cars." Highlights include many of the most famous Bond cars, including a 1977 Lotus Esprit S1 in submarine guise from "The Spy Who Loved Me," an Aston Martin V8 from "The Living Daylights," a 1999 BMW Z8 from "The World is Not Enough," the Aston Martin DB10 specially made for "Spectre," the post-flipped Aston Martin DBS from "Casino Royale," and one of the 1964 Aston Martin DB5s from the recent movies. I visited an exhibit of the same name back in 2013 at England's sensational Beaulieu Motor Museum. Although the one in L.A. won't be as comprehensive as that, simply due to logistics, many of the same vehicles and props will be present. You can see some of the photos from that exhibit below, and should you be a James Bond fan, can appreciate that it went much further than the Aston-heavy headliners above. In fact, it was hard to see what was missing from the collection. Tickets are on sale for the opening reception Sept. 23 featuring "one-night-only photo opportunities, live entertainment, food and martinis, shaken not stirred." Considering this is Los Angeles we're talking about, it's perfectly plausible this means noteworthy cast members from past films. Prices are $60 for general admission and $199 for VIP access, which includes exclusive access to the exhibit, "007 lounge" and a curated talk, plus complimentary food and a hosted bar.  The exhibit runs until October 2022.  AMC Hornet and Mercury Cougar XR7 View 22 Photos  

BMW i8 pitted against M4 in sibling rivalry track battle

Wed, Jan 7 2015

We recently watched Auto Bild challenge the BMW i8 against the M4 in a German drag race of decide the quicker of the inter-brand rivals. The hybrid took a commanding victory in that fight. However, Autocar now has a new battle for the two coupes. The siblings are together again on the Castle Combe Circuit to find out which of them offers the more enjoyable experience at the track. Unfortunately, we don't ever get a perfect point of comparison in the video because host Steve Sutcliffe never does a full lap in anger with either of them to set a time. Instead, he focuses more on how the BMWs feel behind the wheel. Sutcliffe also admits midway through the clip that the i8's electric motor is out of juice to power the front axle's electric motor. That only leaves the hybrid with its 228-horsepower and 236-pound-feet-of-torque turbocharged three-cylinder to spin the rear wheels. Still, Sutcliffe spends ample time explaining the benefits and downfalls of driving these coupes. See where his opinion falls between the M4 as the traditional German sports coupe and the i8 as the new-school hybrid in the video, above.

BMW ups i3 production to 100 units a day to meet demand

Wed, Apr 23 2014

To reverse the old Field of Dreams quote, they are coming, so BMW is building them. All indications are that US demand for the BMW i3 plug-in will be larger than initially expected. As a result, the automaker is upping production at its German factor by more than 50 percent in advance of stateside sales, Automotive News says, citing BMW boardmember Harald Krueger. BMW has started making about 100 i3s a day, up from its previous daily rate of about 70 units. So far, BMW, which is expected to begin sales of the i3 in the US later this month, has made about 5,000 i3s. BMW spokesman Dave Buchko confirmed in an e-mail to AutoblogGreen that the company was boosting production of the i3 based not only on US demand but on worldwide demand, but he declined to be specific about BMW's new production rate. BMW started selling the i3 in Europe in November and had racked up a six-month waiting list by early February. Last month, Norbert Reithofer, chairman of the board of management for BMW, estimated that the company would be making a cool 100,000 i3s a year by the end of the decade, and that the global automotive market would support that production level.
