I purchased this as a Certified Pre-Owned BMW from the dealer with 12,000 miles on it and have owned it for twelve years and driven it for 163,000 miles. This is the final year of the 12 cylinder in the e38 body style. I never liked the new BMW body style. This car has every available option on it in the 2001 model year including the rare M Sport Package with 18" M parallel spokes alloy wheels looking for 235/50 ZR18 in front and superwide 255/45 ZR 18 Michelin Pilot Sport in rear. Good tread remains on all 4. The car has special 3/8 thick security safety glass, massage front seats, sunshades on all windows including automatic telescoping in rear. I love this car and have maintained it impeccably over the years including regular oil changes and maintenance. Major improvements include having Erickson Industries (Connecticut) rebuild the factory ZF transmission and torque converter which was installed in 2010 ($7,500), upgraded the BMW Mach II Navigation system to a super-fast BMW Mach IV Navigation system (DVD driven) from a new M5 with a widescreen 4:3 display which is plug and play and fully integrated into the BMW controls ($1,800) and a new dual heater core installed in 2012. The car has been garaged but does have two small areas of rust. One is on the bottom corner of the passenger-side door and the other is on the passenger side rear fender well lip.
Performance Electronics in NH has installed a K40 Radar detector and laser jammer ($2,400). Completely concealed and detects and jams up front and detects from the rear. Saved my butt many times as I drive the highway a lot. Works great.
So why am I selling?? After driving "The Ultimate Driving Machine" for many years I finally got excited when I test-rode the Tesla Model S. I bought one and it is due to be delivered soon. Unfortunately, Tesla does not offer a fair trade-in program since they are based in California and I am in Massachusetts so I decided to sell it directly to someone who will enjoy it. Very reasonably priced with a low reserve and a low Buy it Now price for the person that just wants to grab it and enjoy it for a great price.

A bidder asked about the accident listed. My fianc'e drove the car home and pulled into the driveway and misjudged the length of the car and pushed into a snowbank which turned out to be ice. It broke the lip spoiler on the front of the car (where the fog lights are located). The lip spoiler had to be replaced with BMW new parts and repainted at a cost of about $2,000. She hasn't driven the car since.

BMW i5 could get Toyota-sourced hydrogen power
Tue, 18 Nov 2014It's starting to feel like the automotive landscape is right on the cusp of a boom in hydrogen-fueled vehicles. After all, the Toyota FCV is nearly ready, Volkswagen is readying a fuel cell concept for this week's Los Angeles Auto Show and Hyundai already sells its Tucson Fuel Cell. The next big name to add to that list might be BMW, as the company's co-development deal with Toyota starts to bear fruit.
According to Autocar, BMW may use a version of the fuel cell system from the Toyota FCV in the future i5. As part of its eco-oriented i sub-brand, the i5 is expected to be a stretched version of the i3 (pictured above) with extra rear legroom and cargo space. It's unclear at the moment whether a battery-powered pure electric powertrain will also be available. If accurate, then the rumor could give the Bavarian brand a counterattack against Mercedes-Benz' planned fuel cell vehicle in 2017.
BMW and Toyota first signed the memorandum of understanding to co-develop fuel cells, lightweight technology and a sports car back in 2012, and they made the arrangement official in late 2013. So far, few details on the progress of the work have been disclosed, but the performance model has been rumored to use a front-engine, all-wheel drive layout with supercapacitors.
Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with
Mon, 12 May 2014Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.
BMW M4 Coupe laps 'Ring in 7:52, bests outgoing M3
Thu, 19 Jun 2014Comparing Nürburgring Nordschleife lap times is a bit of a black art, especially when looking at times officially set by manufacturers matched against other sources. Driver skill and weather conditions play a huge roll in determining a quality time. Still, it appears BMW fans have reason to celebrate because the new M4 Coupe beat the previous-generation M3 by 13 seconds in a recent test by Germany's Sport Auto magazine.
Sport Auto conducts what it calls the Supertest, where it runs performance cars around the 'Ring and the short course at Hockenheim to create its own database of comparable times. The M4 with a dual-clutch transmission, ceramic brakes and Michelin Pilot Supersport tires managed a quality 7 minutes 52 second lap around the 12.8-mile course, compared to 8:05 from the last M3, according to BimmerPost. The new coupe also beat the magazine's posted times for the Audi RS5 Coupe, which did it in 7:59, and Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG with an 8:01, but couldn't quite match the 7:44 set by a 911 Carrera S. Still, BMW must be somewhat pleased with these results of its new 425-horsepower coupe because it posted the magazine's cover and an image of the time on its official M Facebook page.
While the M4 apparently stands up to contemporaries and predecessors, new generations of the AMG and RS models are reportedly on the horizon. In other words, more tests will come.
