2004 BMW M3 E46 with SMG transmission for sale. Imola Red (color exclusive to M vehicles). 90,500 miles on the odometer. I purchased this car in August 2011 with approximately 84,000 miles. Vehicle is in excellent running order. Car has been well maintained, garage kept, weekend driven only, never a daily driver vehicle. It has always been a non-smoker's vehicle. I never raced it, and it was always driven carefully.

What's Right:
• Car is mechanically sound and is an excellent example of an E46 M3. It is extraordinarily fast and performs as it was intended. It shows some minor signs of wear and tear, but the important things on this car work very well.
• When I bought the car I had the usual filters, drive belts, spark plugs and fluids inspected and swapped. I have had the car professionally maintained since then and have copies of these records.

What's wrong:
• The cigarette lighter is missing. The socket still works for phone chargers, etc.
• The driver's side power door lock has never worked for unlocking. It does work for locking. I simply use the key to unlock the driver's side door after I disarm the alarm.
• There is a trim rail missing on the roof. This rail conceals mounting holes for a ski rack.
• The tire sensor light on the dash board is always on, no matter how the tire pressures are set.
• The body and wheels have some scratches from the previous owner. Some of them were repaired, and evidently not by a professional.
• The driver's floor mat was missing when I purchased this car. Same for some of the factory tools in the car's trunk lid.
• The fuel gauge is consistent, but a little off. This is apparently common for this vehicle. When the gauge reads 1/4 full, I start looking for gas stations.
• It leaks windshield wiper fluid.
• Both fog lamps have cracks on the lenses. They both work fine despite the cracks.
Rear tires will need to be changed soon. Front tires are in great condition.

Aftermarket parts:
• The front struts were replaced. Initially I was going to buy stock struts, however Koni adjustable struts were available and actually cheaper than factory stock. They work amazingly well. The softest setting performs like the factory struts, leaving room to tighten them up for a more performance oriented feel.
• The factory stereo was pretty pathetic, and was replaced with a Kenwood CD player (Excelon KDC-X796), professionally installed by CARTOYS. CARTOYS also hardwired and routed a radar detector cord to the top of the dashboard, so that a cord would no longer be required at the cigarette lighter or draped across the heater and stereo controls. CARTOYS also installed an aftermarket alarm system (Clifford Model 320.3X).
• The factory auto-dimming rearview mirror was replaced by a more reliable and safer electronic version. The stock mirrors have a tendency to fail, and leak corrosive liquid.

Included:
• Full set of Cooper studded snow tires mounted on 17" alloy wheels. 225 45 R17 tires, the size recommended by BMW for winter tires.
• 2 BMW keys.
• 2 alarm remotes and instructions for alarm system.
• Box for the Kenwood stereo system, remote and instructions.
• Koni front strut adjusting knob.
• Instructions for alarm system
• Original BMW Business CD player/radio
• Bentley Mechanic's Manual

Features:
• Power Steering
• Power Door Locks
• Cruise Control
• Traction Control
• Anti-Lock Brakes
• Keyless Entry
• Power Windows
• Automatic Climate Control
• Leather Seats
• Stability Control
• Limited Slip Differential
• Lightweight Domed Aluminum Hood
• 3.2L Inline 6 cylinder engine; 7900 Rpm Redline and 333 Horsepower
• Steering column mounted Shifting Paddles, in addition to the center console mounted gearshift.
• Automatic shifting mode

Options:
• Heated Seats
• 19" Alloy "M" Wheels
• Power Sunroof
• Bi-Xenon Headlamps
• M Leather Steering Wheel
• Front Center Armrest
• Auto-Dimming Interior Mirror
• Park Distance Control
• Rain Sensor Windshield Wipers
• Auto Headlights
• Six-speed sequential manual gearbox (SMG II), an electronically shifted version of the M3's standard six-speed manual.

Thanks for looking!

BMW reveals i8 Concours d'Elegance Edition ahead of Pebble Beach

Mon, 11 Aug 2014

If you want to be among the first owners in the United States of the new BMW i8, the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance will be the place to be next Saturday. That's where Gooding & Company will auction off this one-of-a-kind hybrid supercar.
The BMW i8 Concours d'Elegance Edition was previously slated to be the very first i8 in North America, but has now apparently been downgraded to the guarantee of being among the firsts. In any event, it packs a series of special touches to make it unique. For starters, it's decked out in matte grey with unique brown leather upholstery, blue accents and Pure Impulse Tera World trim, with BMW i8 logos embossed into the headrests, special treat plates and the signatures of several key BMW personnel on the rear parcel shelf.
Pending government approval, it's set to be the first vehicle in the US fitted with laser headlights, and comes equipped with a special key, Louis Vuitton luggage and a "professional edition" BMW Charging Station. Scope out all the details in the press release below and take a closer look in the gallery above.

BMW raises pricing on many models

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

Buyers interested in a new BMW will start paying a bit more for their Ultimate Driving Machines, beginning yesterday. The Munich, Germany-based manufacturer has announced price hikes across nearly its entire range, covering model years 2013 and 2014, that will sting higher-end customers in particular.
Price increases are enough to get any consumer riled up, but the incremental nature of BMW's increase makes it a bit easier to swallow. All 1 Series and remaining 3 Series Convertibles (including the M3 Convertible) will see a $300 increase in price. All current-generation F30 3 Series, 5 Series GT and X3 crossovers will get their price bumped by $200. $500 increases are coming for the 6 Series range (not including the M6), while the diminutive X1 gets just a $100 increase.
Cars on the losing end of the price hikes include the newest M cars, the M5 and M6 Coupe, Convertible and Gran Coupe, which are being bumped $2,000. BMW is adding $1,000 to the sticker of all Z4s and the entire X6 range, including the X6M.

BMW M3 and M4 CSL not in the cards

Mon, 27 Jan 2014

We aren't sure whether to file this one under "good news" or "bad news." BMW confirmed to Top Gear that there "are no plans" for lightweight versions of the new M3 and M4, in the same vein as the E46 M3 CSL (despite rumors to the contrary). The reason?
"There wasn't a CSL on the previous generation, and the way we look at it is like this: the CSL was great because it had this real focus on lightweight engineering. But we've already done that with these new cars. We've made them as light as possible - they come in under 1500 kilograms (3,306 pounds), which for a car like this is incredible," said Matt Collins, BMW's product manager for small to medium cars.
Now, as much as we love the idea of a hardcore version of any car, we appreciate BMW's point of view that the newest Ms are already as light and tough as they need to be. Collins elaborated, saying, "Rather than doing a halfway house to begin with and then rolling out a CSL, we thought we'd make the 'real' car as light as we possibly could. So we've no plans whatsoever to make a lighter, harder version just yet."
