copy and pasted from Scott Buwalda's original for sale thread. I bought it from him a year ago after selling my FD v8rx7. It is a beautiful, great sounding car. Looking to buy a truck or large SUV and a 5wheel/trailer for family trips. This 5series never saw snow. I still have my daily and only take this out on nice days.

Thanks Up for sale is my 2014/2015 campaign show car, a Certified Pre-Owned BMW: 2009 BMW 535xi X-drive AWD (M5 Mtech clone) national-level speed, styling, and sound demonstration vehicle.

http://teamhybrids.org/scott-buwalda-bmw/

This car was used to demonstrate Hybrid Audio Technologies products and is owned and has been meticulously cared-for by me. Hybrid Audio prides itself in not only producing the finest speakers and speaker systems at any price, but also producing the finest show cars that gather attention at events and win trophies in organized competition. This vehicle is no different.

This vehicle was displayed at twelve events in the 2014 season, from Atlanta GA, to Huntsville AL, to Indianapolis IN, to Sparta KY, to Nashville TN, and a bunch of places in between. It has been used for dealer tours throughout the balance of 2015 (mostly Midwest, like Chicago, Minneapolis, etc.). Seen and enjoyed by thousands of spectators!

With the exception of show outings, the car is stored in a warehouse under a custom car cover (included).

Approximately $77,000.00 has been invested (fully documented) into this car to produce a well-rounded luxury car that emphasizes sound quality and proper reproduction of the musical source, with a good balance as well in the styling and performance categories. The car has never been tracked / raced and has been "babied" its tenure with us. The future owner of this vehicle is encouraged to use it for show purposes, or just relaxing behind the wheel of this amazing vehicle (or both).

The vehicle was featured in the January 2014 issue of Performance Auto & Sound Magazine.

beautiful car! the sound system must be a dream to listen to, great for long distance travel

 

Thanks!

I never knew about SQ (sound quality) until this car. I had Hybrid Audio speakers in my rx7 but it was not like this. The 3 15" speakers make you think its going to be "ghetto" sounding but it is the opposite. This is a precision audio machine. It is like putting a rock band in your car or a whole orchestra.

This is a perfect family car. The m5 aero makes it look nice. The 600ish crank horsepower (approx 480 wheel hp) will run past the local vettes, and most cars with its awd off the line. As stated, the audio is PERFECTION. The built in radar detector with laser diffusers are a real fun add on. It makes for a great daily driver.

 

price is OBO


open to trades up or down!

 

price change!

 

Price drop. motivated seller!

Just had oil changed. This is ready to roll!

 

Bump!

 

bump!

this would make for a GREAT winter car. Heated seats, heated steering wheel, awd, etc.

 

subtract 4k from price if I remove the Forgeline wheels. The Forgelines MSRP is ~8k plus shipping, tax and tires. I can put a set of Beyern Spartan in hyper silver 19x8.5+30, 19x9.5+35 with Michelin super sports


29k with Forgelines
25k with Beyern

 

Gorgeous setup! Glws

 

Here's the set of Beyern Spartan in Silver. michelin pilot super sport tires

Price drop with the Beyern, 24k

I still have the Forgelines if you would like both sets!

 

I'm planning on upgrading my sound systems in my cars but neither one will be as extreme as the one in your toy. I wish I could buy it from you!! GLWS!!!

 

Sold!
