Condition: Used: A vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ...

This car does not look or feel like a 200K+ mile car. You need to see it in person. This car has been well maintained and is in excellent condition. Power and handling are excellent and the car is a pleasure to drive. The interior is in clean with no broken parts or tears. Carpet and headliner are like new. Reliability is impeccable. It has never had an issue.

This is the sport version with matching molding colors and an Group M tuned suspension. The 6 speed manual gearbox makes this a true sport sedan. The 5 series BMW is an extraordinarily capable car blending the best of a luxury sedan and a sports car. The 4.4L V8 engine is amazing providing power at nearly any engine speed. The suspension makes back road driving a thrilling experience. There are not many cars on the road that can hold 5 people and cruise at 100 mph this is one of them. This truly is a drivers car.

I have kept up on all maintenance on this car and fixed everything as issue arose. There is a new differential, new clutch, and new tires all in the last year. There is some cosmetic damage that has occurred in the last couple of months that I have not fixed as I cannot justify the cost since I am selling it. Specifically, there are two dents in the engine hood from where two broken fan blades impacted when the fan clutch seized. The mechanicals were repaired but the cosmetic damage was not. You can see the damage in the pictures. The is also a dent in the trunk lid from years ago that I just never got around to fixing. Other than those items the only mechanical issue is a strange whining sound periodically when the car is starting. I believe it has to do with the starter motor, it may be getting close to replacement time.

This car is great opportunity for someone who want to drive a special vehicle but not pay a premium price. This car was $58K new and it still feels like a premium German sedan. Honestly, I've never liked the body style on the new 5 series. This car has the strong lines and aggressive stance that says BMW.

These cars are capable of 300K miles easily so don't let the mileage get you. This is your chance to drive a great car at reasonable price.

BMW M4 Concept leaked ahead of Monterey debut

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

Last month, we heard that BMW might be bringing a concept previewing its next M4 sports coupe to this year's Monterey festivities. Well, thanks to the folks at USA Today, we have absolute confirmation of this by way of some leaked images. And goodness, she's certainly a looker.
While a few of us still find some of the 4 Series' design to be a bit awkward, it's hard to not immediately warm up to the aggressive bits of this hotter M4 concept. It certainly looks the business of a proper sports car, and a worthy successor to the M3 coupe. Of course, a lot of this will likely be toned down for the production version, which we'll likely be seeing at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show in January, along with its four-door M3 kin.
The official M4 Concept details will be revealed later tonight, but for now, have a look at a few shots of the golden show car in our gallery of leaked shots, above.

Are you the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe?

Fri, 31 Jan 2014

Thanks to Austrian website Autofilou (via Jalopnik), we now have our first look at what appears to be the upcoming BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe - the four-door version of the new 4 Series coupe, which itself is based on the 3 Series sedan. Makes total sense, right?
Nevertheless, in our First Drive of the 4 Series coupe, we found it to be a much more engaging experience than the 3 Series on which its based. And if this new 4GC follows in those footsteps, it could prove to be a better 3 Series sedan than, well, the 3 Series sedan.
Expect the 4 Series Gran Coupe to come in 428i and 435i flavors, with a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four in the base car and a 3.0-liter turbo-six in the higher-end model. Of course, BMW will likely bring a range-topping M4 Gran Coupe to market not long thereafter.

Check out 90 years of BMW Motorrad in 90 seconds

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

After ninety years in business and first-to-market motorcycle innovations like the one-piece 'tunnel' crankcase, hydraulically dampened front forks and full fairings, as well as that trademark boxer engine, BMW Motorrad is celebrating its nonagenarian status with a video: You can follow the ride on BMW motorcycles from 1923 to now in just 90 seconds.
Okay, so there's more than a video - some anniversary-themed bikes and a new retro boxer model celebrating the R 32 "airhead' from 1923 also commemorate the occasion. But you can start with the video, and that's below.
