2003 BMW E46 ///M3- Alpine White/Black Nappa Leather

Member. Clean Car-fax! Hard to Find Rare Combo! Alpine White Over Black Nappa Leather! Well-Maintained M3! Fluids
Regularly Flushed! Inspection I Completed. Subframe Inspection Completed. Rod Bearing Recall Performed. Always
Garage Kept. Non Smoker Owned.
This is a turn key E46 M3. I have been collecting cars for years and it is tough to find another one like this one.
I have most service records, books, and (2) keys. You will be hard pressed to find another E46 M3 like this one. I
would rate the Interior a 9.0/10 the Front seats are in good condition, the side bolsters do not have any wear on
them, all functions work and operate on the M seats as they should. The Front dash is very clean no cracks, the
Rear seats are excellent, and Rear deck-lid has no sun damage. The Exterior of the car is a solid 9.0/10 the front
bumper cover as minor stone marks from driving. Front bumper has not been drilled for license plate, the lip
spoiler on the back is all factory and original. The rare color combination looks very sharp with the 19"
Competition Package ZCP Style wheels. The wheels are curb and rash free, tires have only 5K miles on them.
Under the hood the car features the revolutionary S54 Power Plant (3.2L 333HP). These engines have been noted to be
one of the best M engines produced by BMW M GmbH. The E46 ///M3 in the early 2000's was known to be the car out
performing every car in its class and is one of the most recognized M cars in the market place today. Whether you
are buying this for yourself or your son/daughter, this ///M3 is a real head turner. This car is all stock. It has
never been modified. Tasteful cosmetic upgrades include 19" Competition Package ZCP Style Wheels, AC Schnitzer Roof
Spoiler, IND Painted Bumper Reflectors and 3M Tinted Windows. Recent Oil Service has been performed at BMW.
No expense has been spared to properly store, maintain and address preventative maintenance on this M3. I do not
need to sell this car and would prefer to keep it, but if this M3 goes to the right home I will be happy. This is a
true collectable as these cars age it is very difficult to find another one in with low mileage.

BMW planning Zhi Nuo Chinese sub-brand, may export models
Sat, 06 Apr 2013Automakers continue to pour big money into the developing market that is China, and new sub-brands born of joint ventures with domestic partners crop up on what seems like a weekly basis. The latest? According to reports, BMW and its Chinese ally Brilliance are forming a new sub-brand called Zhi Nuo ("The Promise") that will likely rely on existing or older BMW products as a basis for new models.
Previous reports had indicated that the sub-brand could build its offerings based on an older 3 Series model (presumably the E90 series), but newer rumors have the X1 crossover (shown) factoring in. The Zhi Nuo brand could receive its official unveiling as soon as later this month at the Shanghai Motor Show.
Perhaps most interestingly, Automotive News Europe reports that the automaker's ambitions for Zhi Nuo may extend beyond China's borders. It's not clear what markets BMW may be eying, but executives admit the company hasn't ruled out Europe.
BMW puts a sheep in wolf's clothing with 2 Series Active Tourer M Sport
Thu, 27 Mar 2014BMW is charting new territory with the 2 Series. No, not the two-door model - that's just the kind of rear-drive coupe for which the brand is known. But the Active Tourer (which only shares its series designation with the coupe) is a front-drive tall hatchback/MPV category buster, and that's not exactly what comes to mind when you think of Bimmers. As such, the 2 Series Active Tourer is bound to turn off some of the brand's faithful, but this latest M Sport kit could at least ease the pain somewhat.
The sport package for the Active Tourer packs all the usual suspects: a more aggressive aero kit, retuned suspension, blacked-out grille, 17- or 18-inch alloys and an interior with sports seats trimmed in blue-stitched Alcantara. Top all that off with an Estoril Blue paint job and you've got a compact family hauler that might look the part, and maybe handle a bit tighter, yet it naturally stops short of the full M treatment (or even an M Performance spec like you'd find in the M235i coupe). All of which is probably just as well, because that might be the only thing BMW purists would object to more than the existence of a front-drive BMW MPV in the first place.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
