Excellent 2001 Bmw 530i Sport 5-speed Manual Silver Gray 17" Bbs E39 Many Extras on 2040-cars

I am an all German car owner since 1996 and BMW owner since 2001. Everyone who ever bought a car from me was very fortunate, I do drive very gently and take good care of my cars. This is my 4th BMW and second E39. I own this one since 2005 and I bought it with 70K miles. You can ask any mechanic, this model was one of the best mechanical BMWs ever produced. It all goes downhill from there. I change my own oil and filters, the rest was all done by BMW specialist. All records are available. Car drives perfectly, nothing wrong. With stiff yet incredibly supple aluminum sport suspension, it is a pure pleasure to drive. I rented a lot of new cars during my business travels, nothing new can come even close to this one. The 1999 540i 6-Speed that I had before was a little better, yes, due to a limited slip differential, but not a whole lot.
Car never let me down once. I do have original 5-set of 17" BBS wheels that I install for the summer. Spare is brand new with original Continental Sport and alone is worth over $500. The additional wheel set you see is from a 2000 540i and I use it for the winter, it has all-season Continentals. $300 Cocomats, plus BMW rubber mats for the winter. No accidents whatsoever! As you know 2001 and up E39s have body color trim which looks lame. I did replace all of it with original black BMW trim from an older 2000 model and M5 on the doors. You will not see another 530i like that. If I didn't need the money I would never sell it. Driving in the suburbs (no highway) I get about 26 miles per gallon or about 440 miles per tank, try to get that from any other 3L engine. Engine is as smooth as silk, no wonder they say it is only breaking in by 200K miles. Please ask any question you can think of. |

Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota
Mon, 23 Jun 2014The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a roll in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time.
BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall.
Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands
Honda scores big in Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards [w/videos]
Wed, 15 Jan 2014This year the Detroit Auto Show didn't just celebrate the automobile, it celebrated how we find out about the automobile, too. Partnering The One Club, this year introduced the 2014 One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Award to Cobo Hall, celebrating winners in five different categories of advertising: broadcast television, online, interactive, experiential, and print/outdoor. Winners in those categories were judged by 50 creative directors and journalists, while a Public Choice category was chosen from among nearly 20,000 online votes.
Honda walked off with three of the six awards, its Hands spot taking Broadcast honors, its Sound of Honda getting the Online category and Illusions winning Public Choice. Hyundai made the grade in Interactive with Driveway Decision Maker, Fiat captured Print/Outdoor with its "Letters" ad, and Toyota's Tundra Endeavor Campaign spot and BMW's A Window into the Near Future were co-winners for Experiential.
You can watch all of the press release and winning videos below or check out all of the finalists, announced last month, for a refresher.
BMW i8 Spyder gets production nod
Wed, 18 Dec 2013BMW could be poised to expand its i8 range, beyond the hardtop version of the plug-in hybrid supercar. A report from Bimmerpost is claiming that the i8 Spyder, which we showed you in concept form at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show, will be heading to production.
The website claims the open-roof fuel-sipper was shown to BMW management last Friday as a production-intent model. Other than that, there's not a lot to tell here. The i8 Spyder should feature all the same mechanical and aesthetic features found on the i8 Coupe, just without the confining nature of a roof. It's unclear when we'll see a production i8 droptop make its debut, although this certainly strikes us as the kind of car that should arrive at the Geneva Motor Show.
While an i8 Spyder does seem like a logical leap for BMW's i sub-brand, we're going to keep this one filed under the rumors category until we hear more.
