The car was owned by 82-year old man who had hip surgery about six months after purchasing it new. After this, he was never able to drive it again and was only driven by 24/7 caretaker (with owner as passenger) to go shopping once or twice a week and run errands. It was always garaged and properly maintained. The owner passed away and we have no need for this vehicle.
I'm not a BMW expert but I'm an engineer. I went through everything I could think of and I believe this car is in excellent condition.
Non-smoking household. No small children and only one pet which went to the Vet once or twice a year.
All tires were recently replaced so it no longer has the original run-flat tires. Thus I believe the new owner might want to consider purchasing a spare.
As stated, the car is still under the original 50K/5yr warranty

The following is from the manufacturer, I removed the irrelevant bits:

The 30i is powered by a 3.0L inline 6-cylinder engine making 260 horsepower. The engine has sophisticated design features, including aluminum and magnesium construction and Valvetronic, which controls and varies valve lift to deliver full power when needed yet otherwise allows increased efficiency and smoothness. All X5 powerplants are mated to an advanced 6-speed automatic that drives all four wheels.The X5 is built with a very stiff body structure and has a 4-wheel independent suspension, including a double-wishbone setup in front and a multi-link arrangement in back; the system is oriented toward a good ride and crisp handling on the road, yet it has the ruggedness for occasional light off-roading. The optional active steering system adjusts the effective ratio of the steering such that at low speed the steering wheel only needs to be turned twice to go from lock to lock, yet at high speeds the system has a long ratio for good stability. The system interfaces with BMW's AdaptiveDrive--part of the optional Sport Package--to coordinate the steering system's operation with active roll stabilization and electronic damping control. Brakes, too, are improved, with huge 15.6-inch 4-piston rotors up front and 15.2-inch in the rear.All X5 models come with xDrive, a full-time all-wheel drive system that normally sends 60% of engine torque to the rear wheels but using a multi-disc clutch can steplessly vary torque to the front wheels, sending more as needed. XDrive interfaces with the stability control system to enhance handling safety.The X5 comes with two rows of seating for a total of five adults. Has optional 4-zone climate control system. A new revised version of the standard dynamic stability control (DSC) now includes brake fade compensation, brake stand-by and brake drying, to help increase overall brake safety in a wide range of conditions, plus the Start-off Assistant, which helps keep the vehicle from rolling backward when starting from a stop and facing uphill. Hill descent control helps modulate speed during steep descents off-road or on slippery surfaces. A trailer stabilization program is also included.The X5 comes with a range of safety features, including advanced dynamic stability control and a rollover sensor that interfaces with the vehicle's air bag system. Front seat-mounted side air bags and a head-protection system for all outboard occupants are also standard. Climate control, navigation and entertainment functions, among others, are accessed through the BMW's second-generation iDrive controller, which now includes iDrive logic and hard drive. The Technology package includes a rear view camera, park distance control and voice-activated navigation.

So here is list of what's up for bidding:
1) Car (front and rear climate control, rear view camera, navigation package and everything in the blue text above)
2) One electronic key. I can't find the other one but when I find it I will send it. I haven't had time to go through the house completely.
3) Owner's manual

I have the carfax report. eBay makes it difficult to put a link so just email me and I will send you the link.

You're welcome to test drive the vehicle provided you have a valid driver's license.

I went to edmunds.com and kbb.com to price this vehicle. I believe $28K is a very fair starting price.

I'll be glad to answer any questions.

Thank you for your time.

BMW 1 Series with B38 three-cylinder engine

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Downsizing For BMW's Front-Wheel-Drive And i Futures
Output is quoted at 175 horsepower and BMW says it will hit 62 mph in 7.0 seconds.
The red five-door BMW 1 Series seen in this photo gallery has little to do with what is actually of importance here. What we've just tested at an airfield not far from Munich, Germany, is a new 1.5-liter TwinPower Turbo inline three-cylinder gas engine that we'll be hearing an awful lot about in the coming few years.

Are you the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe?

Fri, 31 Jan 2014

Thanks to Austrian website Autofilou (via Jalopnik), we now have our first look at what appears to be the upcoming BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe - the four-door version of the new 4 Series coupe, which itself is based on the 3 Series sedan. Makes total sense, right?
Nevertheless, in our First Drive of the 4 Series coupe, we found it to be a much more engaging experience than the 3 Series on which its based. And if this new 4GC follows in those footsteps, it could prove to be a better 3 Series sedan than, well, the 3 Series sedan.
Expect the 4 Series Gran Coupe to come in 428i and 435i flavors, with a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four in the base car and a 3.0-liter turbo-six in the higher-end model. Of course, BMW will likely bring a range-topping M4 Gran Coupe to market not long thereafter.

Alpina D3 may be coming to Frankfurt with 350 hp, AWD

Wed, 14 Aug 2013

Rumors are swirling that Alpina, the tuning house that specializes in all things BMW, will followup its Geneva debut of the B3 Bi-Turbo with an oil-burning variant slated for debut at September's Frankfurt Motor Show. The news comes from Auto Zeitung, which reports that the second-generation D3 will be based off the Europe-only 335d.
This is a departure from the last D3, which had the four-cylinder turbo-diesel from the BMW 123d in a 3 Series body. The new model is expected to use a 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged inline-six, which will generate 350 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. That should scoot it to 62 miles per hour in under five seconds (likely while towing a tree stump). Both rear- and all-wheel drive should be available on the D3, and we imagine the thrill of this much power channeled through just the two rear wheels to be akin to skydiving sans parachute.
For our European friends that want an Alpina D3, but don't need more torque than any American full-size pickup, there may be plans to offer a four-cylinder variant that still delivers Alpina performance without a compromise in economy. We'll have more on the Alpina D3 when it debuts at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show.
