This is being relisted. I could not find the title last auction. I now have title in hand, California smog check past with flying colors, and registration go through 2014.

Up for sale is our 2001 BMW X5 Sport with Navigation. A bit of background. We have owned this SUV about 9 years. My wife drove it until we had our second child and needed something bigger. This is fully loaded with low miles. We serviced regularly and used Mobil 1 synthetic. Within the last year I changed the valve cover gaskets which commonly leak on the X5 and are a pain to change. Also, replaced the plugs with the OEM set from NGK, 2 coils. This is all within 500 miles.

At 95K miles, transmission rebuilt which is a huge concern with x5s. This is a full rebuild and shifts and runs like new. Within last few 2 years replaced, radiator, water pump, and alternator, valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, coils, fuel filter, wiper blades, oil (has < 200 miles on it), 3 new window regulators (except drivers door).

The paint is good and there are no dents, dings or scratches anywhere. The SUV has never been in an accident and comes with a clean car fax. The hood and the roof had the clear coat starting to lift/cloud. We had the hood painted by a bumper repair place about 1 year ago. They did not paint the roof since you can not see it unless you are looking from above. Outside of the roof, the paint is in very good shape.

Interior is excellent with exception of the driver seat. Its fine but leather is cracked on the edge and lower seat back. It was sitting outdoors for some time. Reupholstering would cost about $250 from quotes I received.

This truck has been sitting in our driveway for about 1 year collecting dust. We have not had time to list it as I travel and my wife doesnt like to show it alone. Time to get rid of it.

The only thing that needs to be repaired is the drivers window. It operates fine but if lowered all the way, it gets stuck and needs to be wedged to get to go up. Its not the window motor. It’s a bushing that holds the glass to the regulator. I replaced the same thing on the pass. door a while back. Very easy fix and a DIY job. Parts ~$25. I just don’t have time to take care of it.

** NOTE THE WHEELS IN THE PICTURE WERE SOLD. THEY COME WITH THE STOCK 19" WHEELS. SEE PICS FOR CURRENT WHEELS. ALSO AC SCHNITZER PACKAGE ON FRONT INSTALLED. THE REAR I REMOVED

American motorcycle brands most satisfying, Japanese most reliable, says Consumer Reports

Fri, Apr 10 2015

Consumer Reports started tracking motorcycle reliability last year through its regular reader survey, just like the magazine's well-known auto guide. For the 2015 edition, CR now has data on over 12,300 bikes, compared to 4,680 in 2014, and the extra info means it can include more brands, like Suzuki, Triumph and Can-Am, to the list. However, the final results remain largely the same. As with last year, Japanese bikes are the best choice for buyers who prioritize reliability. Yamaha comes out on top yet again and is followed by Suzuki, Kawasaki and Honda. Victory and Harley-Davidson hold the middle of the list, and the European cycles from Triumph, Ducati and BMW sit at the bottom. The major outlier in this regional distinction is the Can-Am Spyder from Canada's Bombardier Recreational Products that comes in dead last in the dependability survey. Still, even the most dependable model is occasionally going to break, and the average repair bill across all brands is $342, according to CR's readers. Kawasakis are the cheapest to keep on the road at a median of $269 for fixes, versus BMW as the most expensive at $455. Through all of the companies, electrical gremlins are the most common issue, causing 24 percent of problems, but faults with the cooling system, pistons or transmission are the smallest concerns at 4 percent each. While Japanese cycles might be the easiest to keep on the road, they aren't the most beloved by riders. In CR's gauge of satisfaction, the Americans reign supreme. Victory owners love their bikes the most with 80 percent reporting that they would buy another. Harley riders are known for having a close bond to the company's models, and the brand comes in second with 72 percent. Finally, Honda rounds out the top three at 70 percent. Head over to Consumer Reports to see more results. News Source: Consumer ReportsImage Credit: Toby Brusseau / AP Photo BMW Honda Suzuki Motorcycle Ducati bike victory

Audi leading rival BMW in worldwide luxury sales race

Tue, 11 Mar 2014

If you thought competition among the German luxury automakers was hot before, it looks like things are just getting started. For the first two months of the year, Audi has sold more cars than BMW worldwide by just 383 cars.
Audi claims to have sold 242,400 vehicles through February, up 9.3 percent from last year, compared to 242,017 units from BMW, up 8.9 percent, in the same period. While the advantage is tiny, its implications could be huge because Bimmer has been the leader in the premium car segment for the last nine consecutive years. Mercedes-Benz lags behind them somewhat at 229,630 vehicles through February. According to Bloomberg, at this time last year Audi had sold 429 fewer cars than BMW.
The growth is all part of Volkswagen Group's goal to become the world's largest automaker. It currently ranks in second when its heavy truck businesses are considered. The German automotive giant also wants to be the world's leading premium carmaker. "Competition in the premium segment is more intense than ever," said Audi CEO Rupert Stadler to Bloomberg.
