Hi guys,

Sad to say, we are upgrading to a new X5 M50i due to needing additional space and I'm listing the 550i for sale.

The car is in a FANTASTIC condition. I've only had the car for 12 months and have spent close to $19,000 in upgrades & maintenance during the time! Also, I've only driven about 6K miles since purchase and feel stupid just writing how much money I've spent on this car in such a small period of time! I purchased the car with 79k miles, and now it has about 86k miles.

I have receipts most of of these items. Needles to say, the next owner will not have to worry about any big ticket items for years to come.

A few important notes!

-In June of this year the engine was replaced by BMW. The engine has about 20 months of warranty left, and does not have milage limitations. Total out of pocket cost here was close to $6,000.
-After the engine was replaced, I also had to replace the second big ticket item, which is the High Pressure Fuel Pump.
-Mechanically the car is immaculate. When the engine was replaced I asked BMW to look over everything and let me know if there's anything else that needs to be done or any issues they see (this can be seen on the Carfax excerpt below) They confirmed that everything else on the car is perfect.
-The car has a rebuilt title. The cosmeitic damage was on the door, sideskirt and fender. There was no mechanical damage and after you see the pictures, you'll wonder why it was rebuil.t Feel free to reach out for pictures of damage.

Here are all the things done to the car since I purchased it last November to ensure that EVERYTHING is in an excellent working order. I get annoyed when any sort of issue or warning light comes up and always ensure that things are fixed right away.

Damn, really clean car. If I didn't have my 550 already, I'd be very interested. Hell of a car, for the price.

Out of curiosity, why did you put the 650 exhaust on it? I've never even heard of anyone doing that, but it sounds great. Is it that big of a difference in person?

GLWS!

It's a bit louder and deeper than the OEM 550, which I find crazy stupid that bmw did that !

Thanks!

A few years ago I went from a 550i to a 650i M-Sport and the exhaust was THE biggest improvement. It was a perfect mix of quiet when the mood strikes and deep V8 sound when you step on it. Below is an example. AFAIK, this option was not available on any 550i, and the 650 Msport mufflers were easier to install and had better fitment than M5 mufflers that I had on the 550i. With added downpipes, it sounds like an airplane taking off and yet no drone.

I LOVE THIS CAR!!!

This would be amazingly well paired with my Vorsteiners.

Nice car, Good luck with the sale!

Its especially nice to buy from someone who took good care of it as well.

I lost my F10 to water damage form the glass, I would have loved to consider this...

[AmooManiak]

Thank You.

This is what it was replaced with. Staying within the N63 family.

The car no longer has any performance parts and is 100% stock. Ad updated with the new information. That means over 19 months and unlimited miles warranty remaining on the engine!

Thanks! We took it for a 300 mile round trip for the Christmas weekend instead of the X5. Still love how smoothly and effortlessly the car purrs down the highway, which makes me reconsider selling it every time I drive it.

Any issues with oil consumption? Was the engine replaced with a new engine or a pull out from another car?

No issues since replacement. Even before the replacement, the only "issue" I was experiencing was a quart of oil between oil changes. Per BMW, this was "normal." My brother's 335i and 535i also burned oil. Still, the SA asked me if I wanted to get it replaced.

The engine was replaced by BMW with a new engine as part of the class action lawsuit. I was charged 35% (about $5,800)and BMW covered the rest. It has an unlimited mile warranty until July 2022.

The only reason why I even proceded with the replacement is because I thought I would keep the car for a long time. The car did not really NEED a new engine, but for $5,800, who wouldn't say yes if they knew that they are keeping the car for a long time. Retrospectively, it would have made more sense to sell a good running car for $14k instead of $20k with a new engine.

Sold! Nice gentleman from Maryland flew in this morning and picked her up. Sad to see her go after investing so much, but good luck to the next guy!

Nice x5!

as for the id6 upgrade did you go thru retrofitmybimmer?

how do you like it?

[AmooManiak]

No, I went with a company from Europe. Bar none, the best upgrade I did to the car as I was using it every time I was driving.
