2003 Bmw M5 Fully Loaded, 89k Miles, Lemans Blue On Blue! on 2040-cars
Vernon Hills, Illinois, United States
|
For sale is a well maintained, lower mile, and quite clean example of a late model E39 M5. This is a close friends car that I helped him acquire, and he has asked for me to move it for him to make way for a new toy. I told him he'll regret it, to which his simple response was "I know".
Currently the car is with me in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago. The car is LeMans Blue with the two tone blue/black interior, sitting with 87,2xx miles. She was purchased in November 2012 from an older gentleman who drove the car from his home in New Jersey to his home in the Miami area multiple times a year, so the majority of the mileage is truly highway cruising. The biggest plus was the clutch had been replaced at 75K miles by the previous owner, and though that's the one service record I didn't get from him (he did it at an indy shop instead of the dealer, and lost this receipt), I knew it was the truth right when I drove the car; clutch engagement is super crisp and drives exactly as a fresh one should. The car makes no vanos noises, non of that secondary carbon....just a smooth running powerful motor that one would expect especially from a 2003 I'm a professional concours level detailer on the side and I brought this paint back to life when he got the car, and have again refreshed it for the next owner (thankfully a lot less work this time around  ). Needless to say, you'll be hard pressed to find a better looking LMB M5!The interior is no less minty than the outside. The seats have minimal wear on the side bolsters, and truly only the steering and shift knob show the age of the car. I had the wheels refinished when he acquired the car, so they are absolutely minty and are shod in tires with 7-8/32nds of tread depth. No curbs, not even any chips honestly. The only damage other than expected rock chips and the occasional ding is on the front bumper; he was parking and got the front end just a bit too far into the overly tall curb, which cracked the lowest portion of the front bumper on the passenger side, and took the underplastic and exterior temperature sensor with it. Hard to notice unless you have the car on a lift. VIN: WBSDE93473CF92632 Here's a list of many of the maintenance stuffs done to the car that I have records for: 89k-Fuel Pump changed 86K-Oil changed 82K-Oil changed 80K-Fan Clutch Replaced 78K-Front wheel replaced, oil filter canister mounts replaced, oil changed 74K-Oil changed 67K-Front pads and rotors, thermostat, sunroof cassette assembly, front thrust arm bushings, oil changed The car throws an intermittent P1118 code for dirty MAF sensor. I cleaned the sensors and the light went away, but they need cleaning again (very simple DIY job) since the SES is currently on. Modifications wise, the car only has very minor things: -BnB Axle Back Mufflers (here is a sound clip from youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28rX-gidi5o) -DICE MediaBridge Bluetooth |

BMW planning to stretch i3 into i5 family hauler?
Sat, 30 Nov 2013If you're sweet on the new BMW i3 but wish it had more space to carry people and stuff, we've got good news for you. According to Autocar, BMW is planning on stretching the platform that underpins the i3 to create a new model, expected to be called i5.
The stretch job would add an extra four inches of legroom in the back and another six inches of rear overhang to the benefit of cargo space. The result would create a vehicle longer than the current Mini Countryman - although the next Countryman is likely to be even larger. As Autocar points out, the process of extending the i3's composte passenger cell likely wouldn't be as difficult or cost-intensive as lengthening a conventional metal chassis, although the rear doors would need to be re-engineered.
Whether the resulting vehicle would more closely resemble a hatchback, wagon, minivan or something in between remains to be seen, however BMW is said to have already registered the nameplates i1 through i8, signalling that the possibility is at least there to add more members to its new EV family.
Watch a trio of Santas ride up Mulholland Drive
Wed, 25 Dec 2013Santa Claus might have his eight reindeer - or nine, when it's foggy - to help him deliver presents in most parts of the world, but in southern California, it looks like he's traded up from Dasher, Dancer, Prancer and company to BMW, Yamaha and Ducati. RNickeyMouse is usually the place to check out spectacular motorcycle crashes on video along LA's Mulholland Drive, but a recent video caught a trio of Santas carving up the iconic, twisty road.
The three Santas are together, riding what appears to be a BMW S1000RR, Yamaha R1 and a hard-to-tell custom bike that could be a Ducati 1098. The video, which is posted below, also catches a bonus Santa riding solo on another S1000RR. Happy Christmas to all, and to all a cool bike!
Formula Drift kicks off 11th season on Streets of Long Beach
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The 2014 Formula Drift series kicked off last weekend in Long Beach, and saw Chris Forsberg, who you'll recall went mad and drifted around a warehouse in an Infiniti M, take the title behind the wheel of his Hankook Tire Nissan 370Z (shown above).
Forsberg really ran away with the first round of competition, outscoring his closest opponent, second-place finisher Kenneth Moen and his Bridges Racing Nissan 240SX, by 20 points. Third place was 2013 championship winner Michael Essa and his Yokohama BMW M3, 30.5 points behind Forsberg.
In the manufacturers' title, Nissan took an early lead with 122 points, which isn't a huge surprise considering five of the top ten drifters were piloting either a Z or a product of the brand's S platform. Ford, which had two drivers (Justin Pawlak and Vaughn Gittin, Jr.) in the top ten, took home second place, while BMW is currently third in the manufacturers' standings.
