I'm selling my pride and joy 2001 BMW 540i Sport Wagon with Authentic Alpina Package and other extras. I have the pink slip in hand and the car has a clean title, no accidents.
The car is a prime example of how clean and well maintained a sought after BMW should be. It's very clean and runs very well and strong. According to BMW it is 1 of 406 made in 2001 but I don't know the count for actual sport models made in 2001, I'm assuming it's a small list.
All of the main maintenance needed on a E39 540 4.4 V8 have been done and taken care of. The car has had a preventative engine overhaul and will be fine for at least another 80k miles engine wise. I have the maintenance history for the time I have owned the car as well. The car has no mechanical issues besides the signs of wear that come with a 10+ year old car. The car comes from a car (BMW) enthusiast who has meticulously taken care of the car. She rolls smooth with no shakes. The car is adult owned.
My car was also featured in Frank Ocean's album teaser last year. Email me for the youtube link to view the video.
Here is a list of the parts on the car:
Authentic Alpina bumper spoiler
Authentic 20" Alpina Softline wheels (tires are 5 months new)
Custom exhaust with custom made quad Alpina muffler tips
BC Racing 30 way adjustable coilovers for comfort or sportiness on your demand (you can adjust to your preference)
Akebono brake pads (low dust and keeps wheels spotless)
iPod/ iPhone hook up
10" Kicker subwoofer and 400w Kicker crossover amp for subwoofer (made for speaker)
Model description
Titanium Silver exterior
Gray sport interior
Sport seats
with wood trim
M steering wheel
Tiptronic tranny
Self leveling rear suspension
4.4 V8
My car is probably the only 540 sport wagon with real Alpina parts in the US, I think. I don't know of any other around like this one here in the USA and I'm a car enthusiast.
Without some parts we can negotiate another price. But the car will come with all oem parts that were removed, including the 17" style 32 wheels and tires plus suspension parts and the stock resonator.
Price $12,900 obo (with all the extras which are worth over $6,000)
I prefer cash if you are a local buyer here in Southern California but wire transfer and paypal will work as well. I'm also open to showing the vehicle to local buyers.
Any offer is a good offer, just call me so we can talk about it or buy it now though ebay : )

BMW working on 'FAST' CUV to slot between X1 and 2 Series
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Our spy shooters have caught a new FAST BMW testing that's rumored to hit the market in late 2015. Sadly, the word fast in that last sentence isn't describing the car's performance; instead it's an acronym that stands for Family Active Sports Tourer. Talk about a case of false advertising.
Despite it's speedy name, the FAST doesn't look ready to set any Nürburgring lap records. It rides on BMW's modular, front-wheel drive UKL platform that underpins the current generation Mini Cooper, upcoming 2 Series Active Tourer and next X1. According to our spies, its design is supposed to blend the looks of a wagon and a CUV on the outside with a large, useful interior. Conceivably, it could be offered with the hybrid system from the 2 Series, as well.
The new prototype definitely shares the styling of its front-wheel-drive BMW siblings. Up to the A-pillar, it looks pretty similar to what we know about the future X1. But the FAST has a more arched profile and lower ride height compared to the crossover's chunkier, more conventional design.
Road & Track names its 2013 Performance Car of the Year
Thu, 14 Nov 2013Road & Track recently staged its first annual Performance Car of the Year test, pitting 13 new and updated performance cars against each other on track, then graduating the top six to a road test before picking a winner. Additionally, the magazine staff picked the best automobiles of the year in eight categories.
But first, let's cover the PCotY segment. Here's the list of cars brought to the comparison test: Audi R8 V10 Plus; BMW 435i; BMW M6 Competition Package; Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51; Ferrari F12 Berlinetta; Ford Fiesta ST; Jaguar F-Type V8 S; Jaguar XFR-S; Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model Wagon; Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series; Mini John Cooper Works GP; Nissan GT-R Track Edition; and Porsche Cayman S.
To find out the results of the comparison, head over to Road & Track's website or check the press release below, where you'll also find the magazine's top-rated vehicles in eight categories. Want more? Head over to the 2013 PCotY hub. But before you do that, take a stab at guessing the winner of PCotY (we'll give you one hint: it isn't a Porsche).
BMW to offer carbon fiber wheels in a year or two
Sun, 23 Feb 2014The Citroën SM sat on the first set of production glass fiber and resin wheels in 1972 when parent company Michelin developed the exotic hoops in order to take the SM rallying. It wasn't until 2008 that we got the first all-carbon-fiber wheel for passenger cars in the form of a prototype model from Weds Sports in Japan that remained a prototype. Australian company Carbon Revolution followed that a year later with its CR-9 all-CF wheel, first introduced on the Shelby Ultimate Aero and now available for independent purchase for about $15,000 per set. BMW could be the first OEM to offer entire wheels in carbon fiber reinforced plastic in two years.
The wheels - either all-CFRP or using a CFRP rim and alloy spokes - were shown off during BMW's Innovation Days in Munich and are products of the development work done on its i-branded cars. The full-CFRP wheel is 35-percent lighter than a forged alloy wheel, the hybrid alloy and CFRP wheel is 25-percent lighter, making for a decent drop in unsprung rotating weight. As demonstrators during a tech day the wheels aren't yet in the pipeline for production and EU approval, but an article in Auto Express claims that they could be on the market as soon as two years from now.
Other possible parts include a full carbon fiber steering wheel and propeller shaft, the latter of which is coming as a single-piece component on the new M3 and M4. BMW is also talking up its use of secondary carbon fiber - waste material from i3 and i8 production - that can be used for items like IP support structures, seat frames and spare wheels in place of traditional metals like aluminum and magnesium. There's an excerpt of the Innovation Day press release below with more details.
