2008 BMW 5-Series 550i Description
Thanks for looking. Up for auction is a 2008 BMW 550i. This is an e60 LCI for all those BMW nerds out there.Wife absolutely hates this car in the winter, and we get a lot of snow up here. So its up for sale before the snow even thinks about falling. Car has no problems of any sort and has been meticulously maintained by BMW dealerships only.The car has some Dinan Upgrades, specifically:
- Free Flow Exhaust ($1700 installed)
- Stage 1 Software ($900 installed)
- Ride Quality Kit
- Eibach pro-kit Springs and Koni Struts/Shocks ($3000 installed)
The car does sit about 1.3 inches lower than stock.
Car is absolutely flawless, the only reason we are selling is because of a few new additions to the garage. The car has no problems.Always been BMW Dealer maintained.Full synthetic fluids. It has had a lot of recent work:
- Transmission complete dump and flush at 90k. ($600)
- New DVD/Nav system ($1100)
- Front bumper replaced, OEM replacement - bumper/hood and 1/4s sanded and painted ($3900)
- Rear bumper and Pass 1/4 replaced- All OEM parts. ($8700-Ins. paid)
- New Continental DWS tires at 94k miles ($1300)
- Powder coat wheels ($400)
- 3M Clear bra on hood, bumper, mirrors ($800)
- New OEM windshield ($1100)
For quick clarification there is no problem insuring a rebuilt title, your insurance company will deduct 25% of the value of the car in the case that it is totaled. So if your car is worth 10k and you total it, they will pay $7500.Salvage/Rebuilt cars can be fully insured with full comp and collision coverage.
Paint is excellent (and new). All doors and body lines are flawless. With the exception of the title, you would never think this had been in an accident. Body is 100% and the tires, with about 15k miles on them show no abnormal wearing.
This car really is amazing. Its a muscle car for the next generation. No turbos, just naturally aspirated power. With the dinan upgrades it should be around 375hp and 380 torque. It feels every bit of it, turn off the traction control and you will go sideways in a smokey blaze of glory.
The car gets about 20 city and 22 highway. Always fueled with 91 octane or above.
Quite a few options, some of the more notable are:
- Heads up display
- Heated seats
- Navigation
- Keyless entry
- multi-function sport seats
- Sport Package
- Cold Weather Package
- Voice Control
Needs nothing. If you are looking for your next executive rocket sedan, look no further.
