I am selling this vehicle for my friend Shaun who has owned the car for a year. He is selling because of purchasing a new vehicle. You can contact him on 1 (714) 805-2923 with any questions or to arrange to view the vehicle before the auction ends.
The body is in very good condition. It has tinted windows, 19 inch Hartge wheels with good tires. Tinted windows. Tinted head lamps and tail lights.
Mechanically it is very reliable and has been well maintained. The owner Shaun is a mechanic by trade. The engine starts and runs without fault. The transmission shifts perfectly through all gears. The brakes are all good and it stops nice and straight with no brake shudder. The exhaust system is in good condition. It his daily driver that he uses to take his 4 year old daughter to pre school so the mileage will increase by a few hundred before the auction ends. It drives down the road very smooth and tight. There are a few minor faults. The airbag light is on due to the clock spring behind the steering wheel. Cheaply fixed. The check engine light is also on due to the intake air temp sensor which is also a cheap repair.
The interior is in very nice condition with white and black leather. There is no wear or rips on the leather seats. The rear cup holders are broken like on most of these 5 series. All the electrics work fine except the sunroof and passengers front window regulator is a little bit dodgy when lowering the window.
Overall this BMW is in very good condition for its age and would make someone a very good looking reliable car. It is very good on gas and the tags don't expire until January 2014.
This BMW is being sold with No Reserve to the highest bidder. A $500 deposit must be paid via Paypal within 12 hours of the the auction ending and the balance must be paid in full within 7 days of the auction ending. Car must be collected within 7 days of auction ending. If you cannot comply with this then please do not bid.

BMW Vision Future Luxury arrives in Beijing dressed to the nines
Sat, 19 Apr 2014Almost two weeks ago, we reported that BMW may be bringing a concept to the 2014 Beijing Motor Show that could herald a flagship 9 Series model that would be better suited to do battle with the tip-top of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class range than the current 7 Series. Well, here it is. This is the Vision Future Luxury Concept, and straight away, it looks suited to the role of ultra-luxury flagship.
In our original story, we reported that the Beijing concept would wear styling similar to the Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe that was shown in Villa d'Este nearly a year ago. Unlike that car, the Vision Future Luxury sports four doors, although its roofline plunges aggressively enough for it to be considered a four-door coupe. That doesn't mean it will compromise on rear-seat space, however. Judging by the length of the rear doors alone, this is a very large vehicle.
Its styling, though, is, as we reported, quite familiar. We can see the evolution of the Concours' concept's styling, with a narrower grille that still leads up into the hood. The thin headlights use BMW's Laserlight technology while retaining a shape similar to the Gran Lusso, and the lower intake is dominated by a carbon-fiber air deflector on both ends. BMW's Air Breather system can be found behind the front wheels, adding an accent along the lower portion of the doors. In back, organic LED lighting is used for the super-slim taillights.
BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coup'e bows at Villa d'Este
Fri, 24 May 2013The first collaboration between BMW and Pininfarina is this blunt-force two-door called the BMW Pininfarini Gran Lusso Coupe revealed at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. Said to be the "interpretation of a luxurious BMW Coupé as seen through the eyes of Pininfarina," once you get past all of the design-speak, you can focus on the full-bodied and keen-edged missile sitting on 21-inch wheels.
The long wheelbase makes for short overhangs. Up front, BMW's design language gets scraped across a whetstone, everything getting sharper, including the usually round cat's eye headlights that have gone dihedral. Under the hood is a V12, behind the twin-kidney grille in matte-sheen aluminium and high-gloss black. The same aluminum treatment also backs the taillights, the lenses designed to let air flow through them.
Inside is room for four, a cockpit canted toward the driver, Foglizzo leather in black and Tobacco Brown, 48,000-year-old kauri wood from New Zealand, deep pile carpet on the floors, a patterned virgin wool headliner and an "oblong aperture in the roof liner" set off by white LEDs.
Behind the scenes of BMW's 'Driftmob' [w/videos]
Tue, 26 Aug 2014
All this, for one minute and 47 seconds of action-packed footage with no official plot.
We arrive in Cape Town, South Africa, on the third and final practice day for the drivers of a BMWStories internet video called The Epic Driftmob feat. BMW M235i. We are immediately whisked to a large, empty parking lot on the outskirts of Cape Town, where tires are squealing and chunks of rubber are flying as five red BMW M235i coupes churn up more smoke than a California wildfire. And the smell - it smells like heated metal, the kind of thing rev limiters are made for. Times five.
