Black Ext, Black Int, Wood Trim, 2010 Bmw M5 on 2040-cars
Birmingham, Michigan, United States
This is a beautiful example of an M5 with the more current iDrive and navigation than earlier E60 M5s. It has black ventilated leather on the inside (and they really cover everything in leather on the M5 vs normal 5-series vehicles). 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: -Black Sapphire Metallic/Black full leather interior (leather on the dash, side doors, window sill and lots of other places. Very 'leathery' interior' 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. This is really a manual transmission that you can drive in automatic versus the PDK type transmissions that are basically automatics that you can paddle shift with. 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. 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 sharp, 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 heads-up display on the windshield 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. It is a tough decision to sell it, but the car just doesn't make sense for a driver like me. +++ THIS HAS A CLEAR TITLE +++ AutoCheck reports a loan on the car if there was ever a loan on the car, even if it is paid off or from a prior owner. I paid in cash and have a clear Michigan title in hand. |

BMW suing Saab Automobile Parts for $3.2M
Fri, 24 Aug 2012Saab might be all but dead, but that's not stopping automakers that were once involved with the Swedish brand from attempting to reclaim losses. According to a Fox Business report, BMW has filed a 2.6 million Euro suit ($3.2 million USD) with a Swedish district court against Saab Automobile Parts for deliveries that went unpaid.
In 2012, Saab Automobile AB signed an agreement BMW that would see the German automaker deliver four-cylinder gas engines for its 9-3 range.
The suit also asserts that Saab ordered a large number of spare parts, and no payments were made to BMW. At the time, Saab was far from liquid, and filed for bankruptcy in December of last year.
BMW planning X4 M Performance diesel? [w/poll]
Wed, 04 Dec 2013With the arrival of the new X4 in March, BMW will expand its crossover portfolio by one more model. But while some enthusiasts may have been disappointed by the news that the Bavarian automaker isn't likely to authorize an M version of the compact slantback crossover, this latest development could help bridge the gap.
Although the line used to be quite clear between standard BMWs and M models, Munich has been blurring it with the M Performance treatment. Those have included models like the M135i hatchback and M235i coupe, the diesel-powered M550d sedan and wagon and X5 and X6 M50d crossovers. Now word has it that BMW could follow a similar formula with the X4, creating a sub-M performance model.
What's more is that the X4 M Performance model could go diesel, following a similar formula that Audi undertook with its first performance crossover, the SQ5 TDI. The major difference here is that when Audi brought the SQ5 to these shores, it ditched the diesel for a gasoline engine. Could BMW do the same?
Company car offers in decline, but not at The Cheesecake Factory [w/poll]
Sat, 22 Jun 2013As businesses look to keep high-level employees happy, it seems that use of company cars can still be an effective method, although fewer companies are employing it. According to Businessweek, only about 25 percent of companies offer company vehicles as a perk, while less than half give allowances for employees to use their personal vehicles for work purposes.
The report says that one business still in the practice of handing out company cars is The Cheesecake Factory, which offers the benefit to top managers. And we're not talking about some econobox, either. The article indicates the restaurant chain hands out BMWs on a three-year basis - although the company's own report says that the type of vehicle "varies with the executive's level."
Still, we mostly agree with the article's conclusion that money is the best way to keep employees or attract new ones, even if a corporate car is a big perk. What do you think? Let us know, in the poll below, whether a company car could sway you to work for a certain company (not just the Cheesecake factory, where the "Glamburgers" portion of the menu alone is enough to keep a guy hanging around).
