Up for sale is my 2006 BMW E60 M5 with 64,000 miles. I have owned her for about 4 years now. I hate to sell her, but with the new baby I need get something more "kid friendly".

I have all the service records of everything I have had done to the car. All of the normal things that go wrong with the E60 M5 have already been done.

New Clutch and Flywheel ~50,000 miles
The clutch on these cars in computer controlled. They last about 50,000 miles. This was replaced by the dealership before I took ownership. If you are looking at other M5s, make sure this has been done. It costs over $4,000!

Belts and Hoses ~55,000 miles
The belts and a couple steering hoses were replaced under general maintenance.

New Front and Rear Brakes ~60,000 miles
The front and rear brakes have been replaced. The discs on the front were replaced with factory cross drilled rotors.

Front Bushings ~60,000 miles
All the front bushings were replaced to tighten up the front.

Rear Tires ~60,000 miles
The rear tires were replaced with 305/30-19. They are a touch wider than factory, but just slim enough not to rub.

Brake Fluid ~64,000 miles
The brake fluid was flushed out when the light came on. Probably not necessary, but it was already in for a rear ball joint that was loose and got a 4-wheel alignment when that part was replaced.

BMW recommends the oil be changed at 14,000 mile increments according to the on board computer. I have been changing the oil at around 3,000 mile intervals.

The car also has the halo lights replaced with white instead of the old looking yellow lamps and I just put new wipers on the car. It has an exhaust system and lowering springs that were installed before I purchased the car. The exhaust really opens up the sound of the V10, but keeps it quiet enough that the neighbors won't hate you.

The wheels were sold to me as powder coated factory 19" wheels. They look great, but have a few rock chips in them but have never been curbed or bent. Looking at the chips, I believe the wheels might be just factory wheels painted black.

The paint has some oxidation on the hood, roof and trunk lid from the Florida sun. A good waxing keeps it looking great. It has a few rock chips and dings as expected on a 7 year old car. The only noticeable one is on the drivers door smaller than a dime. It looks as if it was touched up at one point and through the years of washing has revealed itself.

The interior has no rips or scuffs on the leather. The drivers seat looks great and the back seats look perfect. The passenger seat has slight wrinkles as visible in the picture. The metal trim has a ding as shown on the picture and the rubber coating on some of the plastic pieces is peeling in a few places as it does in every BMW.

Please Call or Text me with any questions at 954-812-0844. The car is available to show at anytime.

BMW 1 Series with B38 three-cylinder engine

Downsizing For BMW's Front-Wheel-Drive And i Futures
Output is quoted at 175 horsepower and BMW says it will hit 62 mph in 7.0 seconds.
The red five-door BMW 1 Series seen in this photo gallery has little to do with what is actually of importance here. What we've just tested at an airfield not far from Munich, Germany, is a new 1.5-liter TwinPower Turbo inline three-cylinder gas engine that we'll be hearing an awful lot about in the coming few years.

Mini Cooper SE Convertible wheels made entirely from recycled aluminum

Sun, Feb 26 2023

Mini has revealed an interesting fact about its limited-run Mini Cooper SE Convertible: It's the first production car with wheels made from 100% recycled aluminum. Despite sharing the same look as wheels available on the regular SE hatch, they're actually much more environmentally friendly. The wheels were developed with Swiss wheel manufacturer Ronal. The company sells aftermarket wheels under the Ronal and Speedline brands, and it supplies OEMs. And it's no stranger to more environmentally-friendly wheel production. It supplies wheels for the Audi E-Tron GT that are made using a smelting process that produces oxygen rather than carbon dioxide, and it now has a line of claimed carbon-neutral aftermarket wheels. But back to the Mini's wheels. Using all recycled aluminum has the obvious benefit of not requiring new aluminum to be manufactured. But the benefits are greater than just the raw material use. Mini points out that a major improvement in carbon emissions comes from being able to skip the electrolysis process for new aluminum manufacturing. Pure aluminum is extracted from aluminum oxide (which is in turn taken from the mineral bauxite). To do this large amounts of electricity are passed through molten solutions of aluminum oxide and cryolite (which takes energy to heat) across graphite cathodes and annodes. Not only does this use a lot of electricity that has its own carbon costs, the oxygen that separates from the aluminum bonds to the graphite annodes, yielding more carbon dioxide (which is why the production of those Audi wheels is also interesting). In total, Mini says the recycled wheel production reduces carbon emissions by 75%. More specifically, it estimates about 0.16 kilograms (0.35 pounds) per kilogram (2.2 pounds) of aluminum used. Mini also stresses that this process still maintains all the strength of conventional wheels, just in a greener way. And of course, the wheels themselves are recyclable again. Mini, and BMW more broadly, are looking at ways to upscale the process and to source suitable recyclable products, likely other old wheels from cars no longer on the road. Though neither company said anything about when we'll see fully recycled wheels more widely available. Related Video: MINI Electric Pacesetter inside and out

Can the government mechanically force you to wear your seatbelt? [w/poll]

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

The National Highway Traffic Administration is considering the use of ignition interlocks in vehicles that would require the seatbelts of occupied seats to be fastened in order to drive the car, Automotive News reports, four decades after Congress moved to prevent manufacturers from installing them in cars sold in the US market. Following a transportation bill passed last year that lift some of the restrictions on seatbelt interlocks, automakers such as BMW are considering the benefits of using them in future cars. Now, before you go crying about your lost freedom, keep reading.
BMW said in an October 2012 petition that the use of seatbelt interlocks would allow the company to make lighter and more spacious vehicles, if the devices could be used in lieu of unbelted crash tests. The crash test has required the addition of bulky safety features, such as knee bolsters, that aren't as necessary when occupants are buckled up, especially when considering the dizzyng list of safety features that come standard on today's cars. Europe, which has a higher rate of seatbelt use than in the US, doesn't perform unbelted crash tests on cars sold there.
