'02 with 140k, Black on black with wood trim.

Interior: 9.5/10
Barely any wear, no rips or cracks, super comfortable leather, has the extended leather option in great condition.

Exterior: 7.5/10
Great looking black paint from 10 feet away, but closer inspection shows a few small rock chips on the hood. Still looks better than 140k miles! The tint is perfect, and the 19" wheels seem to fit the car very nicely. 275mm rubber all the way around.

The Good:
Mechanically very solid, quiet on startup, no SES lights or anything to be concerned about. I had some when I bought the car, but they all were fixed by simply going back to stock intakes from the Dinan intakes I previous had. Clutch grabs like new. Steering and suspension is responsive, comfortable, no rattles, squeaks, or vibrations. Starts up in the freezing cold as quickly and smoothly as when it's 80 degrees outside. Just completely trouble-free beast. I love it!

Needs:
I personally would like the front bumper replaced - the previous owner installed a crack into the lower passenger side, and there are plenty of rock chips.
Currently needs trunk lid replaced or repaired due to a rust spot.
A fellow forum member made sure the computer was working, I'm just not getting video displayed, so I need to clean off some contacts and trouble shoot. The Nav DVD player doesn't spool, so perhaps a good excuse to upgrade to the Mk IV!

Also have a full set of factory wheels with Blizzaks already mounted, which have at least two winters left on them if not abused. The wheels will need refinishing if you're going for factory perfect, but they're straight! Will include for +$800. These are not included in the buy it now price! Get in touch with me to discuss their inclusion in the deal.

If you're reading this, you already know what the car is, so I don't need to try to talk you into buying it. These are rare, and getting more rare. Many car magazines to this day considering this the greatest sports sedan of all time. This car lapped the Top Gear test track 2 seconds faster than a Lamborghini Murceilago. This is the real deal. Email me with serious inquiries only! Low ball offers will be ignored, reasonable offers will be considered.

Thanks for looking, and I can't wait to meet the enthusiast who will be the next owner of this M5!

Weekly Recap: The divergent paths of Tesla and Fisker

Sat, 02 Aug 2014

There's no doubt that Tesla is downshifting while Fisker has been grinding its gears. But it wasn't always that way.
In the wake of Tesla's recent success, it's easy to forget that there were once two California electric carmakers with bright futures.

Finalists for 2014 Green Car of the Year announced

Thu, 17 Oct 2013

The list of finalists for the 2014 Green Car of the Year has been announced, and in a genuinely bizarre twist, there's only one hybrid and no electric vehicles among the five contestants, despite the arrival of cars like the BMW i3 and Tesla Model S. Taking the place of the EVs are a pair of diesels, repping a technology that last won a Green Car of the Year award in 2009, when the Audi A3 TDI took the title. No diesel was in the running for last year's award.
Naturally, both of the diesel finalists are fielded by the Germans - with BMW's 328d and Audi's A6 TDI getting the nod. In the case of the 3 Series, BMW installed a 2.0-liter, turbodiesel, capable of delivering 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, while returning 45 miles per gallon on the highway. Audi and its larger, 3.0-liter, V6 turbodiesel produce quite a bit more grunt, with 240 hp and 428 lb-ft of grunt, but net a very impressive 38 mpg on the highway in the A6.
Finalists for this year's awards include two diesels, three gas-powered cars and a plug-in hybrid.

BMW jazzes up the Z4 with Pure Fusion Design package

Sun, 15 Dec 2013

While the new M3 sedan and M4 coupe may be the big news, they're not the only things that BMW has in the cooker. The Bavarian automaker has just announced a new special edition that serves to highlight the Z4 roadster.
Called the Pure Fusion Design package, the specially-equipped Z4 incorporates Nappa leather trim in ivory with brown stitching covering the seats, armrests and door panels. The lower dashboard is done up to match in white, with brown-accented black leather upper dash, window sills, sun visors and instrument surround. A brown leather line accents the interior, with Fineline wood trim.
BMW is offering the Z4 Pure Fusion Design in the unique shade of sparkling brown metallic pictured here, along with other available colors, and customers can combine the package with the M Sport pack as well. Scroll down for the full press release.
