RE-LISTED, WITH LOWER RESERVE
This listing is for a 1997 540i BMW e39, v8, automatic with the "S" transmission feature the car runs good the engine is strong, and so is the transmission the vehicle has a salvage title due to theft recovery back in 2002 it was repaired and driven and registered in california DMV until 6/11. it has been unregistered since driven on private property, occasionally turned on for good reasons i dont want the car anymore, ive done a number of maintenance repairs that come customary to this model vehicle like: valley pan gasket vanos gasket service valve cover gaskets all of the cooling hoses fan clutch cooling system flush replaced the radiator transmission service flush and probably more but thats all i can remember now. factory rims and tires, the tires have ok tread but i would replace since tires crack over time, the rims are in good condition the interior is ok, the leather has scuffs but no real tears except for small one on the driver seat back rest. mostly everything on the vehicle works as it should down to the details. the back rear passenger window elevator is bad the sunroof went bad a year ago, and i bought the whole replacement mechanism, its ready to install but i dont want to work on it anymore so i will be included in the sale of the vehicle for the new owner to do, ( i will put it in the trunk) the paint is custom white with gold pearl, looks really nice. but needs work. There is cosmetic damage to the front bumper cover and hood, (as you can see in the pictures) and the trunk lid has hard scratches and plenty of paint nicks from placing thins on the trunk. it will most likely need a new fuel pump, sometime in the near future, i replaced this one many times, BMW's dont like to be parked. AC blows air but not cold. The check engine light is on and the code says it needs the O2 sensor. dont remember what bank, but this will need to be done before it gets smogged for california. this vehicle is sold as is. with a low reserve customer to pick up, or some sort of pick up service can be accommodated the vehicle is in 92111 zip code in a business park. i have no problem taking it to a shipping yard/service or such local location as long as its not too far. Thank you for looking. |

BMW-Toyota joint sports car project is on like Donkey Kong
Mon, 30 Dec 2013It's official - there will be a jointly developed sports car from BMW and Toyota. While the two auto giants signed a Memorandum of Understanding that pledged to pursue "joint development of architecture and components for a future sports vehicle" back in June of 2012, in the interim, it has remained unclear how those plans had been progressing. BMW has finally officially confirmed that the German and Japanese manufacturers will be codeveloping a pair of sports cars in addition to pursuing other disciplines including fuel cell systems and lightweight technologies.
"We have agreed on a joint architecture for a sports car. What is important is that there will be two different vehicles that are authentic to the two brands," BMW Development Chief Herbert Diess told Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Reuters is reporting. This is a very, very big step for both brands, but now the speculation can officially begin as to what the products of this agreement will look like.
There's ample reason to believe that the BMW-Toyota tie up will result in a Supra successor based on comments made by the chief engineer of the GT86/FR-S program, Tatsuya Tada, back in August. Follow that with a rumor from earlier this month that Toyota could debut a Supra concept car at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show later this month, and we could be seeing the fruits of this partnership sooner rather than later.
BMW Concept Active Tourer Outdoor enjoys a day in the sun
Wed, 10 Jul 2013This BMW Concept Active Tourer has evolved for the nature and cycling set and premiered at OutDoor Friedrichshafen, a trade fair in held this month in Germany. The sturdy wagon is tweaked with new materials, accessories and ConnectedDrive features for those who do a lot of their living under the sky as opposed to inside their cars.
Under the hood is the same plug-in hybrid drive system we've were introduced to in 2012, featuring a transversely-mounted, 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor and a battery pack under the rear compartment floor. Total output is 190 horsepower and 147 pound-feet of torque headed to the front wheels, a claimed time from zero to 62 of under eight seconds, a pure electric range of up to 19 miles, a top speed of 124 miles per hour and claimed fuel economy of around 95 US miles per gallon.
The space behind the rear seats is the showcase, with a transformable compartment that can stow two bikes on built-in, retractable carriers. Remove the front wheel and seat from the bikes, then the frames can be locked into place using two rails and brackets. The wheels can be stowed in a holder attached to the right rear seat, the saddles can go into a compartment in the load floor. If you need to make a quick adjustment or a fix, you can do so since the bikes are aligned across the load bay.
BMW maintenance plan no longer transferrable to 2nd owner
Tue, 12 Aug 2014One of the best innovations in car buying in recent years is the rise of no-cost scheduled maintenance programs. Many people feel really anxious about taking their car in for service, and these deals help mitigate that somewhat. Obviously, it's not free for automakers to implement the offers, and now BMW is altering the way its four-year, 50,000-mile Maintenance Program works for some owners. "To keep such an offer sustainable we had to make a change," said Kenn Sparks, Manager of Business Communications at BMW North America, to Autoblog via email.
The original person to buy or lease the model isn't going to see any difference, but the program is no longer transferable to a second owner, unless that person is in the owners household. Those people include includes parents, siblings, grandparents and grandchildren, in addition to someone like a spouse or children. The original owner just has to advise BMW of new user. "The program change will affect 2nd owners and for them BMW is introducing an optional full-maintenance product that covers the vehicle up to 100,000 miles," said Sparks.
