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

Hamann M6 Gran Coupe is all flared and shiny

Tue, 10 Sep 2013

Oh, Hamann. After rolling out the ridiculously pink Mystère at this year's Geneva Motor Show, the tuning company has worked its mirror-finishing magic on the BMW M6 Gran Coupe, debuting this, the aptly named "Mirror" at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It sure is shiny, and a full 40 millimeters wider than the standard M6 GC.
Hamann says that the, um, "tailor-made suit" exterior treatment is made up of a new front bumper spoiler with large air intakes, side skirts, a new rear spoiler, and wing extensions out back. And the end result is... well, let's just call it noticeable. The special BMW rides on unique 21-inch wheels and sits a full 25 millimeters closer to the ground, as well.
As far as we can tell, Hamann hasn't upgraded the M6's 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 at all, though there's a new sport exhaust system that "depending on the application area, either noisily announce its presence or purr sportily." Sounds like it's as loud as its newfound appearance.

BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe blows the doors back on [w/video]

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

BMW sure seems to take pleasure in confusing the hell out of us. It used to be pretty simple: if you wanted a compact Bimmer, you had to look no further than the 3 Series. Then it was just a matter of which bodystyle you wanted. But the smaller end of BMW's lineup has gotten more complicated lately. Never mind the 1 Series and 2 Series (in their various iterations) that have slotted in below it - now the 3 Series has been split in two: Want a four-door, get the new 3 Series. Want a two-door, the 4 Series is your address. Right?
Almost. Because now there's a 4 Series Gran Coupe that keeps the two-door's roofline (or some approximation of it) but adds an extra set of doors in the back, thereby bridging the gap between the 3 Series sedan and 4 Series coupe. And it's just made its public debut here at the Geneva Motor Show.
The difference between this and the two-door 4 Series is plain to see: it's got two extra doors. But what's the difference between this and the 3 Series sedan? About two or three grand, to start with - depending on which version (428i Gran Coupe or 435i Gran Coupe) you choose. But it's also sleeker, more muscular and altogether that extra bit sexier. Which is a good trait, as you can see from our gallery of live shots above, to have in your European sports sedan, coupe, or whatever you want to call it.

BMW suing Saab Automobile Parts for $3.2M

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

Saab might be all but dead, but that's not stopping automakers that were once involved with the Swedish brand from attempting to reclaim losses. According to a Fox Business report, BMW has filed a 2.6 million Euro suit ($3.2 million USD) with a Swedish district court against Saab Automobile Parts for deliveries that went unpaid.
In 2012, Saab Automobile AB signed an agreement BMW that would see the German automaker deliver four-cylinder gas engines for its 9-3 range.
The suit also asserts that Saab ordered a large number of spare parts, and no payments were made to BMW. At the time, Saab was far from liquid, and filed for bankruptcy in December of last year.
