2006 BMW 530Xi X-Drive | We are pleased to present this absolutely incredible and very, very CLEAN BMW 530Xi. This particular example is crammed with options including Navigation, Bluetooth, Voice Control, iDrive, Heated seats and steering wheel, Adaptive Xenon headlamps, Active Cruise Control, and the very highly sought after sport package! The 5 series has long been regarded as the ultimate midsize sedan for luxury, handling charecteristics, and appearance, and this car is a perfect example of why that is. You won't find an opportunity to own an E60 5 Series AWD for such a low price anywhere else on the market! What makes this particular 5 series so special is the fact that it's equipped with the very rare 6 speed manual transmission. Though fairly popular in Europe, very few came this way in North America. The interior of this 530Xi is in very, very good condition. It has black dakota leather heated sport seats which are just beautiful. They have the power adjustable thigh supports. The leather is in fantastic condition, and is still soft enough to retain the "bunching" around the edges. The hand brake lever is leather-wrapped, as is the steering wheel. The car has the premium Harman/Kardon Logic7 audio system which features 14 speakers, along with a CD Player that is capable of decoding MP3s. There is a cup holder that accommodates two beverages and two unused ash trays. This BMW has dual front airbags, as well as front side airbags. It also has HPS curtain airbags. The trunk is very large and in fantastic condition. The carpet floor mats are there, along with a brand new set of BMW rubber floor mats. As mentioned above, this 5 Series has BMW's iDrive system which offers control of many of the car's settings including the audio system, navigation, climate control, and much more. The Navigation system in BMWs is one of my favorites, and offers a 3D perspective as well as very smooth motion. It's a very powerful system compared to other cars. The operation if the iDrive system is very slick, and once you get used to it, it is quite intuitive. The car also has a very nice integrated Bluetooth handsfree system which integrates with nearly any phone. It downloads your phonebook to the system, and displays your phone's signal strength on the bottom of the screen at all times. (In the pics, I have my phone paired to the car to demonstrate this.) The exterior of this 5 Series is in stunning condition and has virtually no dings and scratches. It is Titan Silver in color which is a bright, bright silver color that looks incredible in direct sunlight. The car has its original BMW 18 inch sport light alloy wheels which are in fantastic condition. The car has had only two owners since it was new, and seems to have been serviced exceptionally well. The second owner bought this car as a BMW Certified Pre-Owned car. This 530Xi has the awesome BMW Adaptive Xenon Headlamps which swivel left and right with a turn of the steering wheel. They also feature "curb light assist." Additionally, this car features adaptive cruise control which follows the car in front of you up to a preset speed. My own car has this and it really spoils you!
The tires are in great shape with very good tread life remaining. The tires are all matching and brand name. The brakes are in good shape and the car stops as it should. The legendary BMW Inline 6 cylider engine runs flawlessly and is very smooth. The transmission also operates properly and the clutch feels great. The car has traction and stability control, along with x-drive all wheel drive, which make this a truly usable car in the winter. It's very smooth, while still shifting crisply. These cars are known for being mechanically reliable. The car has a current Pennsylvania state inspection. |

Since you're bidding, or making an offer, on a car which you may have not seen in person, it is important that a level of trust be established between you, our customer, and us, the dealership. This is why we post between 30 and 60 high-resolution images of every car we sell on ebay. We pride ourselves in having the most detailed, highest resolution images on ebay, and we use the finest photography equipment in order to catch even the smallest details of the cars that we sell. In addition, the description above provides a comprehensive walk-around of the car including the interior, exterior, and mechanical systems. We even will fill you in on any previous maintenance that we've performed. Regardless, all cars that we sell have been thoroughly checked for safety by our in-house master technician. In addition, we road-test every car we sell very extensively before offering it. If there are any issues with the car that are present, they will be mentioned in the auction. Because we road test the cars extensively, it is possible that the car may have more miles on it than when the auction was listed. We always encourage you to come check out the car in person before bidding or making an offer. If you are too far away to do this, there are several inspection services that can review the car, or we can take the car to a local garage of your choice for a pre-purchase inspection.
Please note that a $500 deposit is due immediately upon your purchase of the car.

Non-paying buyers will be reported to ebay. We charge a $255 dealer services fee for all transactions. This fee covers any additional paperwork service, overnighting of paperwork, and dealer prep. We can provide a temporary cardboard plate for out of state customers at no charge. Pennsylvania residents will need to pay sales tax between 6% and 7% depending upon your county of residence. There are also Pennsylvania fees for the registration, title, and license plate (unless you bring your own plate to transfer). Inexpensive used cars are not at all the same as a brand new car, or certified pre-owned vehicle. They are in no way flawless, or perfect.As noted above, we try our absolute best to disclose any issues which may be present on the car, however a car's condition is somewhat subjective and opinion based. Where door ding may be considered perfectly acceptable on a 10 year old car, it would never be acceptible on a car which is brand new. Also, on higher-mileage used cars, it is important to remember that virtually any mechanical or non-mechanical component can fail at any time. We cannot predict what components will fail in the future, or when they will fail. This is simply the nature of older higher mileage used vehicles. The best that we can do is assure that the car is operating properly at the time of purchase. This car is sold as-is, and we cannot be held responsible for any mechanical or non-mechanical failure. Additionally, because we do not know the inspection requirements of other states, we cannot guarantee that this vehicle will pass any out-of-state inspections. |
