2004 Bmw 530i Sedan E60, 6-speed Manual With Premium Trim Package on 2040-cars
Tampa, Florida, United States
|
Hello! I am selling my 2004 BMW 530i / E60 Sedan! It has been a blast to own and has served me very well, and I can now say I've owned the "Ultimate Driving Machine." But it is time we part ways. Reason for selling is to finance travel, also as much as I love driving stick shift the constant use of my left leg for the clutch has been aggravating a pre-existing injury so I'm trying to get away from manuals altogether.
Before I get into details, let me just state the obvious. This car is really, really nice! It runs strong, it is clean, it's in great cosmetic condition and it impresses everyone who sees or rides in it. The original list price on this car was about $45,000. As for the details: - ~96,900 miles - 3.0L I6, 225HP - 6-speed Manual Transmission, RWD - Rated 20/30 MPG, I get around 33 MPG on the highway when driving mindfully (awesome on gas for long distances), average around 25-27 MPG overall. Daily driving gets about 500 miles on the full 18.5 gallon tank, highway driving I've gotten almost 600 miles on a tank. 91+ octane premium gasoline is suggested by BMW. Features:
Everything works except the GPS software as noted. - Excellent running condition when checked by a BMW specialist in mid 2013. This car is quick for its size and weight and really moves on the highway with 6th gear. - Recently serviced at Reeves BMW Tampa w/ oil change, fluids top-off and 28-point checkup (mostly clear, items needing attention detailed below) - Clutch is smooth like butter. No grinding gears, automatic clutch makes for smooth, easy shifting all day. I've been very impressed by the manual transmission in this car, it is nothing like manual transmissions I have used in the past. Very much a luxury driving experience while still preserving the integrity of a manual transmission. - Black leather interior with wood trim, all clean and in great condition. No rips, tears or holes in seats or panels. Floor mats all present, clean, no stains, holes, burns etc. Clean non-smoking vehicle. All cabin lights work, all windows open/close automatically with single press. - Exterior in great condition, some small blemishes are visible when looking up close but nothing major. There is a rub along the bottom/underside of the passenger side lower panel, between the tires. Also a rub on the bottom of the corners of the front driver's side bumper, and front + back passenger's side bumper. They are along the bottom so they can't really be seen unless you are crouching down. See pictures. - All blinkers, parking lamps and exterior lights work except for the halos. - Paint and clear coat is good, car could use a real wax but there is no fading, dry spots or rust. Headlights look like the clear is coming off a little bit along the top, this is only visible up close in daylight. - K&N Performance Intake filter installed in November 2013 - Cabin microfilters both replaced in November 2013 - Premium Bosch windshield wipers installed September 2013 - Fresh oil change & fluids topped off at 96,800 miles at BMW dealership - Full spare in place in the trunk, unused. Also first aid kit in the trunk. Things to be aware of: - Needs rear brake pads, brake fluid and possibly rotors - Tires at about 30% tread, probably have a few months left in them. Currently Toyo Proxes, non run-flat. - Trunk needs shock strut replaced, currently swings open (simple replacement) - Oil dipstick seems to be stuck but I-Drive monitors oil levels like a hawk and alerts you as necessary so I've not needed it. - Pneumatic arms for the hood don't hold up, can be replaced or you can just use a stick/pole. - Xenon High- and low-beam headlights work but no halos - Needs new GPS disc - Only one key (original), battery is dead so remote doesn't work. - Wiper fluid sprayers don't spray (pump runs, nothing comes out) - Service engine light came on at 90k miles, asking for routine service check - AC needs recharge but feels fine in moderate temperatures and at night, cools down more after the car runs for a few minutes. Heater works fine. Clear title in hand, clean Carfax history. Well-maintained with routine maintenance and service performed as necessary, all previous owners have been mature adults. No accidents or body work. VIN: WBANA73594B048302 Buyer is responsible for arranging shipping and all associated costs, I can help with making arrangements as necessary. I can also deliver the car, email me to discuss cost. I think that covers just about everything. If there are any specific details not found here or you'd like photos of specific areas I will be more than happy to provide them to you, just shoot me a message or give me a call at (813) 508-1991. My name is Gabe. Thanks for looking! |

BMW V8-powered Ford Model A is the definition of Hot Rod
Thu, 20 Jun 2013Today, hotrodding has a pretty staid definition. Take one classic American car, add one classic American V8, sprinkle with tire smoke and you pretty much have every hot rod to roll out of a shop in the last 40 years. Mike Borroughs knows it wasn't always this way. Once upon a time, getting your bucket to go faster meant grabbing whatever parts were lazing about the yard, bolting them together with a bit of ingenuity and laughing your way down the quarter mile. It's in that spirit that Burroughs built his 1928 Ford Model A.
Rather than turn to the tired flathead or the common Chevrolet small block, Burroughs plucked a 4.0-liter V8 from a 1995 BMW 7 Series. With 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, the engine has no trouble shuffling the old A around town. He had to build a custom chassis to get everything to cooperate, but the result is a 1,500-pound heathen that looks built to harass dry lake beds. You can check it out in the video below. Be warned, the soundtrack by Hanni el Khatib may not be safe for work - awesomeness of this caliber rarely is.
2015 BMW X6 stays the course with more power, RWD model
Thu, 05 Jun 2014What would this world be without the BMW X6? Oh, sure, the whole coupe-crossover design trend surely would have started somewhere, but BMW was the first, launching its odd duck back in 2008. Much as we like to harp on the X6 (for being less functional and more expensive than the X5 on which it's based), people around the world sure do seem to like the thing, BMW having sold some 250,000 examples since the CUV's birth. And as you first saw thanks to leaked images this morning, the second-generation X6 has just arrived.
The shape is familiar, as are specific styling elements like the larger headlamps (now available with a full-LED treatment) and taillamps, mimicking those found on the X5. Two trims are available - xLine and M Sport - the former taking a more subdued approach, while the latter uses the traditionally bulgy and aggressive M-badged kit, with larger air intakes and matte aluminum grille bars. All X6s come standard with 19-inch wheels, and 20s are optional.
Regardless of trim, BMW will now offer the X6 in three guises here in the United States: sDrive35i, xDrive35i and xDrive50i. Dissecting the nomenclature, that means the first two models will be powered by BMW's 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six, good for 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque. The sDrive X6 uses rear-wheel drive, while the xDrive, of course, uses all-wheel drive. Moving up, the xDrive50i uses the same twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 as its predecessor, though power has been increased to 450 hp and 480 lb-ft. All X6 models are fitted with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and BMW says that the new powertrains are more efficient than before, though official fuel economy numbers have not yet been released.
Are you a BMW M4 GTS track car in disguise?
Wed, 10 Sep 2014BMW is always happy to extract a little bit more gumption out of its M cars, just look at the latest 30th anniversary M5 or even the earlier CSL variants of the M3 for proof. Now, It looks like we might be getting the first glimpse of an even hotter M4, and it's wearing very interesting livery.
Our spies recently shot this M4 that could preview a future GTS version. It's all done up in MotoGP decals, but that might just be a ruse. This car sports a camouflaged lower air dam and rear wing, but those parts don't appear to be from an actual series safety car. The chin spoiler seems larger, and the rear wing is completely different. You can also spot an obvious Recaro logo on the driver's seat in one of the photos. Plus, the BMW emblem is removed at the back.
The disguised changes and odd choice of decals make this prototype incredibly weird. A BMW exec said at the beginning of the year that there were "no plans whatsoever to make a lighter, harder version just yet," of the M3 or M4, despite earlier rumors to the contrary. Check out the gallery to see what you think this is.
