This is a beautiful example of an M5. It has high miles for it's age at ~60,000 miles, but has been highway driven early in it's life. My friends can't believe it's got that many miles after seeing it. Only a few thousand miles a year in the last two years. I was only allowed to put 24 pictures up, but have more available upon request. It is black ventilated leather on the inside (and they really cover everything in leather on the M5, not just the seats. It's quite luxurious feeling really). It is black sapphire metallic in color so doesn't show carwash swirl marks like a flat black one would. This has the Olive Ash Wood interior, which is much classier than the aluminum standard trim in my opinion. See the pictures for yourself, but they don't do it justice.
Some options:
-rear and rear passenger sun shades. The rear is powered and the 4 side ones are manual.
-Technology package (not sure what that is)
-Climate package (not sure what that is)
-heads up display (nice, but not critical)
-Ventilated front seats (nice, not critical)
-Automatic high beam headlights (I've never really figured these out)
-Adaptive Headlights that swivel in turns (great feature)
-Comfort Access Keyless Entry (DO NOT buy any BMW without this!)
-Soft close doors (really useless feature unless you're 80 years old and too weak to close a door)
-Multifunction seats (adjustable in many many ways. even the seat back has a hinge in the middle for extra adjustability. If you can't get comfortable in this seat, you're not human)
I had the SMG pump and sensor go on me, which everyone talks about, but is rather unpleasant at $5,482.22. But for you, that takes all the guessing out of this car as it's just replaced by a BMW dealer and as such, now has a 2 year unlimited mileage warranty on it.
I'm selling it because it's really not my type of car. I bought it because a neighbor had one and raved about it, but I'm just not that spirited a driver. So to me, the engine doesn't feel very powerful since I don't rev it high, and the transmission isn't smooth since I typically use automatic mode. My neighbor drives a little more spiritedly and paddle shifts, so it that's you, then you'll love this car. If you're just looking for an attractive, all-options luxury car, you shouldn't buy this car. I've had a 335 and a 540. I think I'll go back to their equivalent. I may also list this locally if I get around to it, so there's a chance that I sell it locally and have to cancel the bid. I'll probably wait a couple of days and see if there's much bidding before deciding to list it. But please don't complain if I take the listing down for that reason.
The car certainly has some nice features. The Alacantra roof liner is quite striking and gives a real air of disctinction to the car. The wheels are classy but large, immediately differentiating this car from other 5-series. The whole stance of the car is menacing without being over the top about it. Lovely really, and it gets many compliments and looks of awe or jealousy. The critical elements of Seat and Steering Wheel are fantastic - The best I've ever felt. Even the cruise control was a pleasant surprise with some nice little features that let you jump up or down by 5mph.
When you do accelerate quickly, especially after pressing the intimidatingly labeled "M-Mode", the car becomes alive. The seats grab you, the HUD shows a tachometer and speed on the windshield in bright colors and the engine seems to double in size. The sound on this mode is quite glorious too, but it's quite a fast car, so you don't really have many opportunities to do this beyond the odd on-ramp. The one time I was driving home after beeing at work late, an M3 took off from the stop light. Since there was nobody around, I pressed the trusty M-Mode and jumped after him and past him. We were both laughing, or perhaps giggling by the time I'd passed him in a thunderous roar. Great fun, but not the kind of thing I ought to repeat. It really made me appreciate this beast's power though. I had a Cadillac CTS-V roar past me the other day, but he seemed too serious about the whole thing, so I let him rip along. Contrasting the sound of this M5 to his car was quite striking. His car sounded like it was 2000 rpm past the redline whereas the M5 at full boil sounds stolen from a Formula 1 car. It's not that big thumping v8 sound, just a highly technical, full and ferocious sound.
It is a tough decision to sell it, but the car just doesn't make sense for a driver like me.

BMW i3 configurator is so advanced it's replaced trim levels
Fri, 25 Apr 2014BMW's electric i3 is slowly marching its way to dealers. It might not be happening quite fast enough for customers, though. For you anxious individuals, head over to the BMW consumer website and build your ideal i3 in the new configurator.
Before we talk about all the stuff this build tool can do, we need to address the naming of BMW's trim levels for the EV hatchback. The 328i, for example, is available in Sport Line, M Sport Line and Luxury Line. That's good; it makes sense. The i3, though, has Giga World, Tera World and Mega World. Seriously. We've no idea what BMW was thinking when it came up with this (this is the same company that regularly uses the phrase "Sport Activity Vehicle," so...).
Silly names aside, let's try and translate where each trim fits in. The Mega World is the base trim. The Giga, at $1,700, adds stylish leather-and-wool seats in a clean two-tone color scheme, along with 19-inch wheels and a leather-covered IP. The Tera World demands $2,700, but makes up for it with its own 19-inch wheels and a full leather interior. Both lines (worlds?) add satellite radio and eucalyptus wood trim.
BMW M235i in circuit scrap with legendary E46 M3 CSL
Fri, 25 Apr 2014Earlier this month, we brought you news that BMW's one-year wonder, the 2011 1 Series M Coupe, is actually trading for more money today than it did when new. That sort of short-term appreciation is a major rarity with modern production cars, but apparently it's not the only BMW enthusiast coupe to enjoy far-above-average residual values. The not-for-North America 2004 M3 CSL, itself a single-year offering, apparently also fits that description, as we've just learned from Auto Express.
The M3 CSL ruled overseas BMW showrooms a decade ago, with just 1,400 examples built. Based on the well-regarded E46 M3, the rare two-door was relieved of extraneous bits for improved track work and driver fidelity, coming in at around 240 fewer pounds than a garden-variety M3. With carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic bodywork, thinner glass and a lot less sound insulation, the CSL was one of the more raucous cars of its day. Like the 1M Coupe, it was also one of the more connected cars of the era, with a retuned suspension, quicker steering, and a bit more power than its brethren.
As Auto Express points out, a good used one commands about the same money as a brand-new 2014 M235i - the closest thing BMW makes to a 1M Coupe today - which makes this video track battle an interesting new-versus-used showdown. According to AE, a well-sorted used M3 CSL will run UK consumers anywhere between £30,000 and £35,000 - roughly $50,000 to $59,000 US. That's a massive premium over the $10k-17k British buyers can expect to shell out for a comparable standard M3, similar to the story that plays out for the 1M versus lesser 1 Series variants.
The Homer to contest 24 Hours of LeMons
Thu, 27 Jun 2013It's finally happened. A 24 Hours of LeMons team has built the definitive interpretation of The Homer from The Simpsons for competition in an upcoming race. As you may recollect, The Homer is the fictional car designed by Homer Simpson for his brother's car company. Designed with a separate compartment for screaming children and other Homer-centric goodies, the animated machine bankrupted its parent company and put Homer's brother out of a job. Now we get to watch it race other crap cans as it tackles Southern California's Buttonwillow Raceway on June 29. Scott Chamberlain, Kris Linquist, Reid Conti, Ben Reilly and Mike Yepes will helm the machine, and Jeff Herman serves as the team's creative director.
The racer is the latest incarnation of a well-abused BMW 3 Series. The team campaigned the same E30 under the "Prickstine" banner as a Chrysler Imperial tribute and "Porcubimmer," the latter being a riff on the ever-popular joke about the difference between porcupines and BMW models. Never gets old. You can check out a video of the finished Homer below, and be sure to like the team on Facebook to see updates from the race. Now, about that Canyonero...
