1998 Bmw 540i E39 V8 on 2040-cars
Strafford, Missouri, United States
|
1998 BMW 540i E39 model. Car runs strong, but does have some issues, so listing with a low reserve (under KBB). Issue is car is in "Trans Failsafe Prog", which causes car to take off in 3rd gear. I haven't figured out what is causing it. It could be a simple fix. Prior owner said it started when they had battery and alternator issues. The car does have a new battery and alternator. Tires have good amount of tread but do have some light dry rotting from sitting. Paint is ok, some clear coat peeling on the hood, and one spot on drivers door where it's been pushed in and back out. Interior is ok as well, no rips or tears in the leather, some stains in carpet, headliner is good. Car does smell like smoke. All windows, locks, door handles and lights seem to work. Has a factory 6 CD changer in the trunk as well as factory tool kit, original dealer window sticker and manuals.
Car is located very close to I-44 about 15miles east of Springfield, MO. Can be shipped at buyers arrangement and expense. $500 deposit within 3 days of auction end, pickup and final payment must occur with in 30days or at least arrangements for pickup (somewhat flexible but I'm not keeping car for 6 months after auction). |

BMW planning Chinese recall for engine part issue [w/video]
Mon, 17 Mar 2014After receiving an unspecified number of complaints in China, BMW has reportedly started a "full investigation" into what may be a defective part in its VANOS engine control system. BMW said via a Chinese blog that it would file a recall application with the the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine in China.
BMW has not yet announced how many vehicles will be recalled, or which models the potential recall might cover. We're also curious as to whether the VANOS issue could extend into markets outside of China.
We've placed a call with BMW in the United States, and will update this post as soon as we hear back. Stay tuned for more, and if you're curious about what VANOS is and how it works, scroll down below for a video animation.
Porsche 911 Turbo and Nissan GT-R Nismo star in World's Greatest Drag Race 4
Fri, 26 Sep 2014We love Motor Trend's annual World's Greatest Drag Race video. Now back for its fourth appearance, the idea of lining some of the world's fastest cars up for a ten-wide, straight-line, full-throttle run is, well... it's pretty freaking badass.
The lineup this year boasts some impressively fast cars to be sure. The group of ten includes the following darlings: Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI and, last but not least, the Volkswagen GTI. Give us any one of those for the weekend, and we're happy to take the keys.
It must be said though, that for a publication that draws as much water as Motor Trend does, there are some big cars that we might expect to be here instead. The Lamborghini Huracán or Ferrari 458 Speciale would have added some exotic flare to the list, and the omissions of the Chevy Corvette Stingray (for the second year in a row) and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat are real head-scratchers.
