Up for sale: 2003.5 BMW E46 M3 I have taken immaculate care of this car as it has been garage kept and babied since I bought it. I am having to sell now only due to my expanding family and the need for a 3rd row vehicle. Sad to let her go. Clear title - Title in hand no accidents Titanium Silver Metallic (354) Tiag With Red and brushed aluminum trim SMG II Transmission 6 speed Winter package S54b32 inline 6 Well taken care of at 129,500 this M3 has several tasteful upgrades while leaving the motor completely untouched, which to me is a huge plus with a performance vehicle. Pros (upgrades) - PSS10 fully adjustable coil over kit (professionally installed) (Bilstein's PSS10 coil over system combines adjustable monotube shock damper technology with front and rear height adjustments to give you everything you need in one package. The E46 PSS10 kit is one of the most impressive suspensions on the market for performance and quality. Bilstein has engineered this kit to be functional and specific to the E46 M3 chassis and not overloaded with features and bullet points that you'll never use. With the PSS10 you get 10 damper settings with meaningful differences between clicks, ride height adjustment, TUV certified quality and performance, a limited lifetime warranty, and easy fitment with stock mounts and links. This kit is designed to lower the car between 1.0" and 1.75" from the original stock, non-sport package suspension.-(Turner motorsports)) - Vorsteiner V-CSL Boot Lid (painted to match professionally) (Vorsteiner’s Carbon Fiber Honeycomb Matrix (CFHM) structure gives our parts superior stiffness, strength & durability compared to traditional hand laid carbon fiber and fiberglass materials. Double Sided Carbon Fiber (carbon fiber honey comb matrix)- (Vorsteiner)) - CSL replica wheels (all "rear" wheels for a squared set up for better tire rotating options) plus is looks cool :D (professionally painted) and spaced for an aggressive stance - All four Bridgestone Potenzas have less than 3000 miles - Black exterior trim Maintenance 1 coil pack went out on me a while back so I had all six replaced just in case (professionally) Inspection 1+2 both completed (professionally) Changed oil every 5k miles only used shell supreme gasoline both wiper blades were replaced this month all four new tires Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 in rear RE-050 pole positions in front brand new MANN air filter Cons The previous owner (whom I still keep in touch with) and I daily drove this vehicle for almost 130,000 miles so there are some normal wear and tear problems with the car (I would be weary of any +100k BMW M3 that is in "Perfect shape") - The interior felt material on the a,b and c pillars is coming off or wrinkling up and the felt trim is separating in some areas (this is a common problem for the E46 M3) - The drivers side seat stitching is has separated where the butt goes (I am 160lbs so this must be common as well) disappointing that this happened last week and made me feel fat :( - In the last month the car has developed a slight hesitation, I took it to the local shop and the mechanic informed me that it is most likely an injector wearing out and that its normal for them to do that at this milage - The adjustable gear in the manual climate control vent has worn out and takes some fiddling with to get the air the perfect temp (again just on the manual controls not the electric) cheap and easy fix I'm sure but i just got lazy and never did (I live in Louisiana its always hot) Shipping Buyer pays shipping- welcome to use eBay shipping services Ill be happy to facilitate the shipping process however I can Paypal only please also will provide more specific picture if requested sold as is |

2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe
Wed, 30 Oct 2013One of the many perks of this job is, not surprisingly, the cars. It's relatively easy to snag the keys to a vehicle for a special occasion, whether that be for a road trip, tailgating or helping a friend move. And while sometimes the tailgating might happen with a Ford F-150 instead of a Range Rover and the road trip might be in a minivan rather than a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, occasionally the stars align and a special vehicle arrives for an equally special time.
That's exactly how I found myself dressed to the nines and behind the wheel of the BMW M6 Gran Coupe, a $135,375 (as-tested) rocket ship, en route to a rare multi-wedding weekend to celebrate with two pairs of my closest friends on the biggest day of their lives (a very special congratulations to Kara and Zach, and Laura and Andrew). Continuing with our nuptial theme, the M mechanicals and the 6 Series Gran Coupe body are a match made in heaven.
2014 BMW 740Ld xDrive does diesel in a big way
Thu, 06 Feb 2014Slowly but surely, BMW is expanding its lineup of diesel-powered models here in the United States. In addition to the 328d sedan and wagon, 535d sedan and X5 xDrive35d crossover, we now have this, the BMW 740Ld xDrive (not to mention the refreshed 2015 X3 xDrive28d that also makes its debut here in Chicago). As its name - and the photos above - suggest, this means BMW is offering diesel power in its flagship, long-wheelbase 7 Series sedan, set to directly compete with the likes of the excellent Audi A8 TDI.
Under the hood is BMW's familiar 3.0-liter turbocharged diesel inline-six, delivering 255 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, all of which is sent to the road via the company's xDrive all-wheel-drive system and ZF eight-speed automatic transmission. That torque thrust is available straight away from 1,500 rpm, and BMW says the 740Ld xDrive will sprint to 60 miles per hour in a very respectable 6.1 seconds. Official fuel economy estimates haven't been released yet, but we expect the car to net highway fuel economy ratings in the mid-30 range.
The 740Ld xDrive arrives in BMW showrooms this spring, priced from $82,500, not including $925 for destination. We're pretty stoked to drive it. But in the meantime, have a look at fresh images of the big sedan live from the Chicago Auto Show, above.
BMW reacquires original factory as classic center
Thu, 27 Feb 2014BMW was barely two years old when it started manufacturing airplane engines in a factory on Moosacher Strasse in Munich. Two years after that, it sold the factory to Knorr-Bremse AG, a leading manufacturer of brakes for trains and commercial vehicles, and BMW moved into a new facility on Lerchenauer Strasse. There it expanded into the industrial giant we know today, building engines for cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats and planes. It's taken the better part of a century to get that original factory back, but that's exactly what BMW has done, reacquiring the expanded facility from Knorr-Bremse this month.
The factory on Moonsacher Strasse will now serve as the headquarters for BMW Group Classic, the division that handles archives and historical vehicles for BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce. From there, just a stone's throw from corporate headquarters and its main plant (as well as BMW Welt and the BMW Museum), the classic division's operations will include a restoration workshop, vintage parts store, the company's archives, administration as well as a place to hold events. In addition, there will be an exhibition space for historical vehicles from the company's considerable collection.
At the heart of the new/old campus is the gatehouse, which is a protected heritage site and will serve as a gateway into the company's history. Read the full details in the press release below.
