2005 Bmw M3 Coupe 2-door Competition Pkg Manual Dinan Exhaust / Software Black on 2040-cars

 I am selling a mint condition 2005 BMW M3 Competition Package edition - the closest thing to a CSL you can get in the United States. 

This is a pure 6-speed manual ultimate driving machine with direct mechanical steering that lets you feel the road through the Alcantara steering wheel unique on Competition Package models.  Unlike newer, heavier/ bigger/fatter models, the e46 M3 is light and nimble with a beautiful natrually-aspirated 333 BHP inline 6 engine.  Performance on this model is enhanced via the addition of a DINAN exhaust system coupled with a corresponding software upgrade.  The car sounds beautiful.  Additional competition package features include stunning 19" wheels (new OEM wheels installed last year), a "track" mode with less invasive traction control and ventilated brake rotors.

The car has been cared for like a child - always in a garage, with all maintenance done by high-end BMW shops.  The car has incredibly low mileage - just over 38,000 - and will make someone very happy.

The car is fully loaded and includes navigation, seat heating, bluetooth phone connectivity, on-board computer, automatic dual zone climate control, black leather seating, dual power seats with memory features, etc.

The interior is black leather with aluminum trip and is in great condition.  As mentioned, the Competition Package adds Alcantara to the steering wheel and parking brake lever.  Typical M car enhancements include aluminum door sills with M logo, M logo on the steering wheel (with contrasting stitching), M logos on the floor mats, M logos on the 19" OEM competition wheels and M logos in the seat headrests. 

The car has never been in an accident and has a clean CARFAX. 

This is a beautiful, pure sports car that can be driven daily, as a weekend treat or as a track workhorse.  I'm only parting with it as I recently purchased a new 911 c2s.  I will miss it dearly.

Will accept cash or money order.  Shipping not included.  Inspections to be arranged and paid for by buyer.

Automotive April Fools' joke roundup [w/videos]

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Happy April, everyone. And we all know what this first day of the month means: April Fools' Day. Today is a national holiday for pranksters with the Internet acting as a serious enabler, and it's always fun to see what kind of vivid imaginations exist out there in the automotive world. The abundance of fake news gets a little old as the day rolls on, but we did manage to get in a few chuckles thanks to a handful of major automakers and automotive news outlets that got into the pranking spirit this year
Some of our favorites this year includes Subaru showing what happens when you combine a bunch of rumors, a Corvette some may have already thought was a joke or Honda providing some in-car innovation circa the late 1980s. Honestly, we're still waiting for official confirmation from Mitsubishi that the recently introduced 2014 Mirage is an elaborate April Fools' joke using a failed design intended for the 1995 Geo Metro. We dug up as much "official" OEM foolishness we could find, as well as some of our other favorites, and posted them all below.

BMW planning X4 M Performance diesel? [w/poll]

Wed, 04 Dec 2013

With the arrival of the new X4 in March, BMW will expand its crossover portfolio by one more model. But while some enthusiasts may have been disappointed by the news that the Bavarian automaker isn't likely to authorize an M version of the compact slantback crossover, this latest development could help bridge the gap.
Although the line used to be quite clear between standard BMWs and M models, Munich has been blurring it with the M Performance treatment. Those have included models like the M135i hatchback and M235i coupe, the diesel-powered M550d sedan and wagon and X5 and X6 M50d crossovers. Now word has it that BMW could follow a similar formula with the X4, creating a sub-M performance model.
What's more is that the X4 M Performance model could go diesel, following a similar formula that Audi undertook with its first performance crossover, the SQ5 TDI. The major difference here is that when Audi brought the SQ5 to these shores, it ditched the diesel for a gasoline engine. Could BMW do the same?

VW Golf R pitted against BMW M235i in enthusiast's choice battle

Fri, 15 Aug 2014

Most people don't have two, open spots in their garage to fit a practical daily driver and a fire-breathing performance car for the weekends. That's what makes vehicles like the latest Volkswagen Golf R and BMW M235i just about perfect for the average person. Both of these Germans can lope around as a commuter 90 percent of the time and be perfectly comfortable. However, when you want to walk in the door with a big smile on your face, you can take the back roads home and get a real thrill from them.
In his latest short video, Chris Harris from Drive tests these surprisingly comparable German performance cars. Both of them offer buyers in the neighborhood of 300 horsepower, with the BMW winning out with 320 hp. However, the Golf R gets standard all-wheel drive, which is now an option on the M235i. Harris has quite positive things to say about these Europeans, but you're going to have to watch the video to hear just what he thinks.
