For Sale is a 2001 BMW 525i Sport Package with a 5 speed.
Vehicle is black on black with the sport seats and factory BBS wheels. Odometer says 152k.
Here is the history of the car:
I purchased this car in December of 2011.
I am a classic car broker and this was included in a group of cars I purchased from a client as a package deal. The guy wouldn't sell me his other cars unless I bought this 525i as well.
The vehicle DOES NOT RUN and is being sold AS-IS. I do not know what is wrong with the car.
The previous owner claimed he was driving it one day and it simply shut off. He had it towed home and it sat for a month before I purchased all of his cars.
I have service records stating that all the tires and brakes were replaced less than 2 months before I purchased it and the clutch was done 6 months before that.
I have never driven it. It has sat in the parking lot of my shop since I bought it.
Here is what it does:
I charged the battery in it and it tries to crank over. That's as far as I got with diagnosing it.
I have no idea what is wrong with it - I just want it out of my parking lot.
CLEAN TITLE IN HAND
Like I said above, I am a classic car broker and this car does nothing for me personally or business wise.

BMW 8 Series revival not coming anytime soon
Mon, 19 Aug 2013If you thought the BMW Gran Lusso Coupe concept that was shown at Villa d'Este a few months back was a preview of a new BMW 8 Series, prepare to be disappointed. According to a report from the UK's Autocar, BMW officials have "rejected suggestions" that a production model based on the concept was coming. To be fair, though, would you expect them to just acknowledge it?
The Brits seem to be thinking the same, as the story went on to quote BMW research and development chief, Herbert Diess, who claimed, "We're looking into the possibility of production, but a decision is still a way off." Diess also points out that it's far too early for anything to be confirmed, seeing as how the concept only debuted about 10 weeks ago.
The well-received Gran Lusso was penned by Pininfarina and motivated by a brawny, twelve-cylinder engine. If it were to enter production, it'd likely sit at the top of BMW's gas-powered offerings, and would compete against the Mercedes-Benz CL AMG and Bentley Continental GT.
2015 BMW 2 Series Convertible will flip its lid for $38,850
Tue, 09 Sep 2014
For the most part, they look almost identical to their coupe versions, except that they now boast an electrically folding soft top.
BMW is dropping the top of the 2 Series in early 2015 in the US with convertible versions of the 228i and M235i. They'll make their world debut at the Paris Motor Show later this year and will show their faces on this side of the pond at the 2014 Los Angeles International Auto Show.
BMW looking to fix i3 acceleration problem uncovered by Consumer Reports
Fri, 10 Oct 2014The BMW i3 has been hailed in some quarters as the future of electric mobility, what with its innovative carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic body and commitment to sustainable materials wherever possible. The modernist little hatch is even available with a 650cc two-cylinder gas engine with 34 horsepower to act as a range-extender for those who want it. However, that optional engine might have a drawback - at least for the moment.
Consumer Reports brought the problem to light when one of its drivers was behind the wheel of an i3 using the range-extender. When the driver attempted to pass another vehicle on a rolling, two-lane road, the BMW suddenly had no power to accelerate - a scary situation. CR started examining the car and found something pretty shocking: After driving at a constant speed for a while without any regenerative braking in range-extended mode, acceleration to 60 miles per hour plummeted from about 9 seconds normally to a staggering 27 to 40 seconds in their testing.
A BMW spokesperson told CR that it knows about the problem and has a fix coming next spring that also works on current models. The upgrade includes a state of charge indicator, a warning about loss of power and uses the car's navigation to boost the battery before driving on rolling terrain. It is not clear if the severe power deficiency will also eventually result in a recall.
