Outstanding 2002 BMW 540iAT Sport Wagon with rare color combination and M tech sport package from the factory. Powered by the venerable M62 V8 motor, this is the last 8 cylinder powered Station Wagon produced by BMW. My car is a particularly well maintained example of a rare car with many records and can connect you with previous owner and shop that maintained it for prior six years for those interested. You will look a long time before finding a better e39 540i Wagon with this combination of factory options. I have enjoyed this terrific car for 2 years and put 30,000 trouble free miles on driving mainly highway to our farm in central Illinois. I am a very fussy owner and attend to ALL maintainence more regularly than BMW recommends. Some upgrades include Bravarian Auto speakers, Dice Mediabridge integrated iPod/iPhone dock, Bluetooth/hands free, USB and AUX connection with Sirius SAT radio, all controllled thru M Tech steering wheel. Also I have Widescreen Navigation upgraded to the later (faster) BMW Mark IV DVD unit. A stiffer Eibach rear anti-roll bar has been installed and also installed were K&R front springs, but have reverted back to the factory springs (I will include K&R front springs and original anti-roll bar). New brakes (pads and rotors), radiator, fan clutch, water pump, thermostat, auxiliary fan, ALL control arms and thrust arms. New Bilstien shocks. New rear air springs. At 156,XXX miles this car still feels like it just came out of the factory and with BMW replacing the engine for the original owner at 48,000 miles (it is recorded in BMW computer system can confirm with the VIN# through your friendly Dealer). BMW also replaced the instrument cluster for the previous owner under warranty due to missing pixels in the display. You really need to think of this a is 100,000+ mile car due to the BMW short block replacement; it is in astonishingly good condition and drives fabulously. The history report will indicate one accident with the original owner where apparently the hood and passenger fender were replaced. I bought the car from AlphaCars in Boxborough, MA where they had serviced it for 6 years before I bought it at 127,XXX miles. I will also include the Black Powder Coated Racing Dynamic alloy wheels which are fitted with All Season tires. You can connect to my Skydrive on the following link http://sdrv.ms/OanA51 for 140+ photos including those taken in recently in March 2013 and also in 2012 with the K&R springs and 17x8.5 Racing Dynamic Forged Alloy wheels. Also on the Skydrive are all the receipts for the work done over the past 2 years. The pictures show the car with a slightly lowered front with the K&R springs, but as mentioned I have reverted to the original springs. Thanks for looking. Feel free to call or txt me, I am really looking for a BMW enthusiast who will appreciate the car, see make or best offer. I do have the car for sale locally and reserve the right to end this process and sell to a local buyer - James (312) 560 7980 / (e) evancook@msn.com . For 140+ pictures http://sdrv.ms/OanA51 .

BMW to change model designations, further yet from actual displacement?
Sat, 12 Jul 2014Once upon a time, you could look at the back of a trunk lid of a BMW and come up with a pretty fair idea of what sat under its hood. For example, a 320i was a 3 Series with a fuel-injected, 2.0-liter engine, a 328i was a 3 Series with a fuel-injected, 2.8-liter engine and a 328Ci was a two-door 3 Series with the same engine. Those were good days.
Today, though, that simplicity is dead and gone. A 328i now has a 2.0-liter engine, just like the 320i, while the simple "C" designation that was affixed to two-door models has been replaced with a "4," so we have a 428i and a 435i. It gets worse, though. A 550i uses a 4.4-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 (it should be a 544ti, although we'd be willing to hear an argument for "tti") and a 740i uses a 3.0-liter, turbocharged six-cylinder, which is the same engine found in a 535i. It's madness.
And, well, it's about to get madder, if a post on a BMW enthusiast forum is to be believed. According to f30post.com, we could see a shakeup in at least the 3 and 4 Series nomenclature, thanks to an impending refresh that will see the addition of new, turbocharged four- and six-cylinder engines, codenamed B48 and B58, respectively.
Old vs. new debate gets new life with $25,000 Fiesta ST vs. E46 M3 showdown
Fri, 10 Jan 2014You know who you are. There's probably a few of you reading; the ones that say, "Why would I spend $27,000 on a new Mazda MX-5 when I could get a used Chevrolet Corvette with more power." Yes, we're talking to you, used car proponents. While it is a fair argument, it's not like used cars don't come with drawbacks of their own, though.
In an attempt to put this new-versus-used argument to bed once and for all, Matt Farah of the The Smoking Tire has picked up a pair of $25,000 cars - a used, but lightly modified, 2003 BMW M3 and a 2013 Ford Fiesta ST. Naturally, there's a comparison.
Farah, as he's wont to do, does get into the nitty gritty of what each car is like to drive, and discusses the merits of used and new-car shopping. But as he rightly points out while testing the M3, "So, it is a good car. But like any used car, it really does depend on the individual car."
Alpina bringing new B4 Bi-Turbo Cabrio to Geneva
Mon, 24 Feb 2014Interested in picking up a new BMW 4 Series with a turbo six? You've got options: you can get the 435i with 300 horsepower or spring for the M4 with 425 hp. But if it's the convertible model you want, we're afraid you'll be limited to the latter as the M division can't help you (at least not for the time being). But that's where Alpina comes in.
The aftermarket tuner closely associated with BMW offers the B4 Bi-Turbo (at least in Europe) with that same 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six massaged up to 410 horsepower that starts to pose a threat to the M4. What's more is that the Alpina's 442 pound-feet of torque eclipses the M4's 406 lb-ft, to say nothing of the 435i's 300.
Best of all, Alpina just confirmed via Facebook that it'll offer the B4 in convertible form, bringing the resulting BMW Alpina B4 Bi-Turbo Cabrio to the Geneva Motor Show. We'd expect the weight penalty to knock it slightly off the coupe's quoted 4.1-second 0-60 time, but not by much. If only BMW were to bring this one Stateside like it does with the B7 sedan.
