Fayetteville, Arkansas, United States

2003 BMW 540iT, M sport package, very good condition Standard features: • Montana Leather Upholstery - Soft as a glove; feels like the softest leather on a goose down filled sofa • Xenon Headlights - Super bright, and yeah, they MOVE when you drive. These adjust to the terrain. • Full Aluminum Front and Rear Suspension - A first in the automotive world, this reduces unsprung weight to improve both handling and ride quality at the same time. • Intensive Headlight and Windshield Cleaning System. • Heated Windshield Washer Jets • Rain Sensing Wipers. All you have to do is activate them. They are perfect. • Auto-Dimming Inside and Left Outer Rear View Mirrors • Heated Dual Outside Rear View Mirrors - No problems with fogging or icing! • Full Remote Keyless entry lock/unlock with alarm and Interior Motion Detector Alarm. The interior alarm is sensitive! • Ram-Air Front Brake Cooling • Triple Zone Fully Automatic Climate Control • Four Fully Automatic Magic Power Windows -Just tap one or all the window switches and the windows open or close completely with no need to hold the button. Every window front and back has this • Fully Automatic Magic Power Glass Moonroof -Just tap the switch all the way and the roof opens or closes completely • All-Open and All-Closed Convenience Modes - Hold down the OPEN button on the remote and all four windows and sunroof open completely • In-Dash Radio and CD player, 6 disc in Rear • Universal Garage Door Opener • Power Front Memory Seats, Outside Mirrors and Steering Wheel. • and soooo much more The all important M Sport Package: • Steptronic Transmission - Full auto mode, sport mode and also full manual mode where you can shift through all 5 gears as you wish • High-Stall Torque Converter - This means the engine can spin faster, use more gas and thus make more power when starting off. I learned this the hard way. My garage door shows it! • 3.15 : 1 performance rear axle ratio. This means the car is always in a lower gear than the standard 2.82 : 1 ratio on standard 540i models. This way you always get more torque at the rear wheels which means more thrust which means more acceleration • M-Sport Aero Kit - Same body kit as on the M5, including front and rear bumpers and side skirts • M Suspension II - Unique for 2003. This is stiffer springs, shocks and anti-sway bars. It also lowers the entire car by 0.8 inches. It still rides nice and comfy, and makes it stiff and nimble enough for a lot of fun anywhere you drive. • Black Roofliner - Unique for 2003. Instead of gray, the whole roofliner is black. Kind of a Darth Vader look. Very cool. No, very, very cool! • M Footrest - Unique for 2003. This is a place to rest your left foot while you drive. • M Sport Steering Wheel - This is the excellent thick leather steering wheel with perfectly positioned finger controls for the radio, CD player and cruise control. It's a masterpiece of ergonomics. • M Sport Door Sills • High Gloss Shadowline Trim - This is black chrome around the windows instead of the usual silver. Beautiful touch. • Original M-Sport Parallel Spoke Style 37 Forged Alloy Wheels, raised surface polished. Car
came with 17 M Parallel II's. Also, 5 BBS RC’s, 17’s, lovely • 12-Way Power Memory Sports Seats, all functional. These are, hands down, the best seats I’ve ever sat in on a factory car. You do not move through a corner, and you’ll take the corners!! • Heated Seats and headlight washers, yes, it has the cold weather package, but not a heated steering wheel. The sport package changes the wheel to a smaller, leather wrapped version. Perfect, really. Custom options added: TEC console cup holder Black front kidney grills. I still have the originals. Black rubber BMW mats, plus the original carpets. Weather Tech mat for the trunk Custom tint New rear Eagle GT’s

BMW reveals i8 Concours d'Elegance Edition ahead of Pebble Beach
Mon, 11 Aug 2014If you want to be among the first owners in the United States of the new BMW i8, the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance will be the place to be next Saturday. That's where Gooding & Company will auction off this one-of-a-kind hybrid supercar.
The BMW i8 Concours d'Elegance Edition was previously slated to be the very first i8 in North America, but has now apparently been downgraded to the guarantee of being among the firsts. In any event, it packs a series of special touches to make it unique. For starters, it's decked out in matte grey with unique brown leather upholstery, blue accents and Pure Impulse Tera World trim, with BMW i8 logos embossed into the headrests, special treat plates and the signatures of several key BMW personnel on the rear parcel shelf.
Pending government approval, it's set to be the first vehicle in the US fitted with laser headlights, and comes equipped with a special key, Louis Vuitton luggage and a "professional edition" BMW Charging Station. Scope out all the details in the press release below and take a closer look in the gallery above.
BMW, Ferrari, VW cars use tungsten mined by terrorists
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bloomberg Markets is reporting that BMW, Volkswagen and Ferrari have been using tungsten ore sourced from Columbia's FARC rebel terrorists. The extensive story focuses on Columbia's illegal mining trade and calls into question the provenance of the rare ore that is used not only in crankshaft parts production, but is also found in the world's computing and telecommunications industry for use in screens.
The ore is mined by the FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, or Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia - People's Army), and exported to Pennsylvania, where it is refined. The refined ore is then sent over to Austria, where a company called Plansee turns it into a finished product. Now, it's important to note that we aren't talking about the world's supply of tungsten here. In 2012, Plansee's American refinery purchased 93.2 metric tons of tungsten, valued at $1.8 million. That's peanuts, with the entire Colombian tungsten mining industry producing just one percent of the world's supplies.
That doesn't make indirectly supporting FARC any more acceptable, though. BMW, VW and Ferrari are all committed to not accepting mineral supplies from the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is also in the grips of a guerrilla insurrection funded, in part, by illegal mining. The same commitment would figure to extend to Colombian mining, but as BMW points out, it's difficult for a multi-national manufacturer to know where every item in its supply chain comes from. A company spokesperson says as much, telling Bloomberg, "These few grams out of the billions of tons of raw materials passing through the BMW supply chain are of no practical relevance."
2015 BMW X6 keeps it weird
Thu, 02 Oct 2014Say what you will about the BMW X6 - odd and ugly as it may be, it's actually been sort of successful for the German automaker. BMW has now sold some 250,000 examples of the X6 since its launch, and the company's fastback-crossover-coupe-whatever-thing gets a host of meaningful updates for the 2015 model year while not straying from its original mission.
Aside from its revised styling, most noticeably set apart by its larger, X5-inspired headlamps, the biggest update for the US-spec X6 is the addition of a rear-wheel-drive model, the sDrive35i. This trim joins the all-wheel-drive xDrive35i and xDrive50i, and since you should all be capable of decoding BMW's weird naming structure by now, you know this means the X6 will be offered with a choice of 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder and twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engines. Fuel economy figures have not been released yet, but BMW says the new powertrains are more efficient than before, mated exclusively to an eight-speed automatic transmission regardless of cylinder count.
Look for the updated X6 to hit US showrooms this fall, following its debut this week in Paris. Expect pricing to be revealed closer to the model's on-sale date. Have a look below for all of the details.
