2001 Bmw 750 Il (sport And Cold Weather Package) on 2040-cars
Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
|
2001 BMW 750 IL (Long body) recently purchased by me and refurbished to be ready for the road by Southwest Bimmers here in town. If you would like to speak with them ask for Chuck, he knows allot about this car. I also have a clean carfax to show any prospective buyers
136,xxx on the odometer. Motor sounds and performs great(As it should, the m72 motor has won gearhead awards for its bulletproof design). This thing has torque and is fast at any speed thanks to the v12. This car is well on its way to regaining its former prestige. This was once a $100,000 car. The first car with HID's, it has rear privacy screens on windows, all seats are electronically adjustable, drivers seat has memory function. Car has "sports package" and "cold weather package" which basically means it has colored side skirts, a different torque converter than regular, heated seats and steering wheel. The body is in pretty good shape but it does have a few dings and scratches, also someone took it to an auto car wash (which you never do in a car like this) and messed up the side skirts a little. They are a little scratched, a little loose and need to be re-secured properly. Recent Services Include: Repair of the heated catalytic converter Replaced Secondary Air House (OEM) Replaced Coolant Bleed Hose (OEM) Replaced Coolant (OEM) Replaced Thermostat (OEM) Replaced Motor and Transmission mounts (OEM Transmission and aftermarket Motor) Replaced Transmission Filter (OEM) Replaced Transmission Fluid (OEM) Replaced Transmission Gasket (OEM) Replaced power Steering Lines (OEM) Replaced Light Control Module (OEM) This car is not perfect and still has some issues that need to be sorted out with time to make the car perfect. I have over $1800 in recent receipts for parts/labor (and I'm a thrifty shopper when it comes to parts). I'm going to be honest and say this car would be best for someone with DIY experience, or an e38 enthusiast. I also have the following parts/accessories that come with the car: New Auxiliary Electric Fan (aftermarket). Needs to be installed before summer. Electronic BMW Shop Manual (CD- very useful) Bentley E38 Manual (similar to a Haynes or Clymer manual but more in depth) BMW Scanner Tool 1.4 (used to diagnose car issues) New rear privacy screens. New Hood Bumpers (make the hood open properly) Issues I am aware of: Miscellaneous interior trim pieces broken/missing. One of the foglight housings is missing. I think the "massage function" of the seats no longer work. The rear windows don't roll down and probably need regulators (they are getting power) She isn't the prettiest inside (leather has cracks from wear, etc.) Glove box lock is broken. (you can still open and close it with some improvisation) 2 of the 4 tires are going to need to be replaced soon. 1 in 6 times the car is started the ABS light stays on. This is caused by a failing steering angle sensor that needs to be replaced eventually but doesn't affect drivability. The transmission shifts hard from 1st to 2nd. I have done a lot of research on the forums regarding the issue and some people say its a programming issue that the dealer has to look into while others say 10k miles after performing the transmission service mentioned above that the problem dissipates. The transmission still shifts fast in every gear and smooth in every other shift which leads me to believe it is not the torque converter. If someone offers me near what I have into this car I will take it as I am looking to walk away from the project since I already have another one and I need to downsize (housing, cars, etc.) Interesting Trades? |

2014 BMW 4 Series Convertible is easy, breezy, beautiful
Wed, 20 Nov 2013BMW debuted its 2014 4 Series Convertible today at the LA Auto Show, and the sporting two-door will feature a folding hardtop - like the convertible 3 Series before it - and be offered in 428i and 435i guises.
The 428i Convertible is equipped with BMW's 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, which pumps out 240 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque - good for sprinting from 0-60 miles per hour in 6.2 seconds. The 435i Convertible gets the 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine, which steps up output to 300 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque. The topless 435i drops the 0-60-mph time to 5.5 seconds. Both cars come standard with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and BMW says that a manual transmission will not be offered on 4 Series Convertibles in the US market.
The 4 Series Convertible will be offered in Sport Line, Luxury Line and M Sport trims. Pricing starts at $48,750 for the 428i Convertible and $54,900 for the 435i. Head on below to peruse the (long) press release for details.
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.
BMW starts Apple-like "Genius" program to explain tech
Wed, 20 Feb 2013Even workaday cars are so capable now that even most auto scribes don't truly find out about a car's limits until a professional driver shows them what they are. It's the same with a vehicle's suite of features and the technology inside - there's so much of it that most people will have no idea what their cars can offer them. BMW is the latest company to make a personal effort to change that, introducing "young, tech-savvy employees" to dealerships as part of its "BMW Genius Everywhere" initiative.
Having no part in the actual sale of a vehicle, a BMW Genius is present on the showroom floor only to answer questions about the company's products and their features. If the customer decides to buy, he is transferred to a salesperson. A pilot program in the UK proved its effectiveness, it will now be rolled out across Europe and then come to the United States toward the end of this year in time for the launch of the i3. Details are still being worked out, but each BMW dealer will have at least one Genius.
For assistance that doesn't require visiting the auto mall, BMW is also putting vehicle and feature tutorials on its US website to "make our knowledge about our brand more interesting and more accessible to the consumer." They will appear online sometime in the latter half of the year, and will also be bundled into iPhone and iPad apps.
