2007 BMW X5 3.0si Sport Utility 4-Door Description

NO RESERVE STARTING at $4625. great deal. CAR MUST BE PAID FOR by 30th June via PAYPAL transaction so that I receive the exact amount at end of auction. PLEASE DO NOT BID
if you cannot afford the auction end sale price + paypal fees(not much there). I have already had one person that badly wanted to get the car yet could not afford it. Also. NO SALE OUTSIDE EBAY and NO PAYMENT OUTSIDE PAYPAL unless you can deliver cashier check or cash that will clear by Monday 3rd July 2017. Title and car will available for pickup the day money transfers from paypal to my bank account and title endorsed in buyer name will be sent within 3 business days by courier endorsed in buyer name and notarized.
I have been driving it past 4 weeks daily. Only reason I am selling it and not fixing to be TIP TOP condition is lack of space to park it in Bay Area while I am gone. It is a steal price for a car that has 6 cylinder and better gas mileage than the 8 cylinder X5 versions that are much more common. The car does run and drive (I have driven it DAILY for past 4 weeks) and has clean title. I am listing it as a car with TRANSMISSION DAMAGE TO ERR on the side of the buyer as I hear it also grind and give noise when it starts up especially up hill and I see transmission malfunction message on screen.
(On Craigslist I found transmission with ENTIRE engine (engine is not needed for it - I assume only transmission IF it cannot be fixed) for $1100). I can give you contact to person selling one for $614 or $800 depending where you are located.If it was not for my personal family changes I would NEVER be selling it. MUST BE paid FOR in 24hrs once auction ends via PAYPAL. I can drive the car to wherever you are within 100 miles (or to transport terminal to ship it to where you are located).

BMW X5 3.0si E70 model withnormally aspirated engine without any turbos etc. for the price that BMW X5 E53 previous modelscould go for. Please assume the car will probably need a new transmission even though I have noidea if this is the case -still - caveat emptor buyer beware. Car had oil change &installed new filter for oil and air, put magnet drain plug. As per BMW spec BMW has claimed transmissions are not serviceable and should not be opened. I guess it is BMW so I did as per BMW recommendations and did not do any flush or add any transmission fluids. Maybe I should have ignored BMW recommendations and I would this way never get this error.
The car has active free of charge replacement of fuel pump and I think 2 airbags that BMW is supposed to do for free for it(I just dropped it off at BMW dealer and they are working on those now). I have title and registration from North Carolina in my only name in hand (registration valid till March 2018). The car runs&drives but may need to be TOWED at a POINT in time. How soon? no idea.
In auto check it shows that vehicle hadhad2 accidents but I do not see it was ever towed from those accidents. So my assumption, not sure because I did not haveany accidents in it,is those were some minor issues. I see other BMWs X5s on sale at ebay where autocheck states that those other vehicles were TOWEDAWAY from accidents.


additional issues in addition to transmission malfunction: -front glass has a crack - need to glued or probably replaced-engine light on. it had been on since I got fuel pump force me to start it after it cools off after refueling. When hot it starts up after 2 cranks usually so this is fuel pump issue. You can go to BMW and have them keep it till they have fuel pump available as for this recall they all wait for pumps from Germany and demand you get a loaner. I drove it with no issues from NC to LAX and it had 21-24mpg (factory says its gas mileage is 23mpg I think). In LA in heavy traffic I got the transmission malfunction issue.-all lights are good but for the two on the hatch that I removed bulbs from (hence computer says left/right rear brake light). Those are auxiliary lights. They are not needed as those are those additional lights on hatch.-park is lit up as yellow (not red as in PARK brakeengaged)parking brake needs adjustment. I have driven without adjusting it and never had any issues. YouTube has videos how to regulate the PARK brake to get rid of this message on dash. I had not time to deal with it-seat calibration. BMW has seat memory 'ceremony' and they need to be calibrated. in manual it states how to do that. I had no time to deal with it given the tense schedule.
I try to have it washed by a friend very 2 weeks but given I am out of the area all the timeit would probably be nice if it got washed thoroughly and vacuumed. Also the battery I am not sure if the right one for this car so I disconnect it when I am not using it.
Car has:* LEATHER SEATING in good condition -if it was cleaned it would look excellent* 18 INCH WHEELS WITH GOOD TIRES (INSTALLED 5/9/17)* PARKING SENSORS* 7 SEATS (VERY RARE)* HUGE PANORAMIC SUNROOF* AMAZING 3.0 INLINE 6 ENGINE (no failure prone TURBOS)* 4X4 WITH ALL SPEED TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITY CONTROL* XENON HEAD LIGHTS

This is just for legal reasons: Car is sold as is where is without any express or implied warranty of any kind. Buyer is responsible for checking it but I have done all I could to describe it with maximum diligence. I had made about 5K miles on it and it had not had any transmission errors up until this Sunday. Please feel free to ask ANY questions you may have. Please see autocheck for more info on it.
I reserve the right to back out of sale at any time for any reason or no reason if I deem transaction to be unsafe or I am not comfortable with it. Car will NOT BE DELIVERED UNTIL FULL PAYMENT HAS CLEARED AND A SIMPLE CAR PURCHASE CONTRACT HAS BEEN SIGNED. Full price price via PAYPAL within 24 hours.Please be sure you have money before you decide to buy and should you change your mind it will NOT BE REFUNDED.
Please do NOT hesitate to make me A REASONABLE OFFER AND I SHALL CONSIDER AND ENGAGE IN A REASONABLE DISCUSSION.The car will be sold WITHOUT plates so probably best is tow it. NC attaches plates to owner not car so I have to keep them and return to NC.
It is a used car and the buyer is requested, asked and responsible for inspecting it. I have described it as diligently as I possibly only could but since it is a used car and a BMW at that I am requesting that you inspect it or have it inspected by a qualified person specializing in BMW. It is your responsibility to inspect the car. It is a used car. Please be reasonable as well. If it was not for my personal family changes I would NEVER be selling it.
