I have this M3 for sale.  This car is in excellent mechanical condition.  I have been asked by the owner to assist in selling it for him.  He has several cars and needs to get rid of some.  I operate an Independent BMW Repair shop here in Houston and this is a customer’s car.  We have maintained it for several years.  He has always done whatever work we recommended to him and the car is update to date on maintenance.

 

Here is a rundown of when things were last done:

You can see the manual transmission has been replaced recently.   This was done because it kept popping out of gear.  We replaced the transmission in November 2013.  It is a brand new BMW transmission.  Parts and labor was right around $7000.  The clutch had been replaced in March of 2013.

 

Other items that have been replaced in the past are:

  • Front wheels bearings

  • AC blower assembly

  • Rear engine seal

  • Front transmission seal

  • Guibo and center bearing

  • Clutch master and slave cylinders.

  • Front and rear shocks/strut assemblies, mounts, bump stops and dust boots.

  • Belts/pulleys

  • Tires are only worn about 10% on the front and 50% in the rear.

  • All brakes are about 10% worn

  • Radiator, expansion tank, front hoses.

 

Things I know that will need attention in the future:

  • Minor play in torsional bushings

  • Constant pressure valve is starting to seep a little bit

  • Oil filter housing is seeping a bit.

  • Some scratches on the front bumper.  Some will buff out (by the wheel well on the left front), the bottom underside is more significant.  Probably from parking too close on a curb.

  • There is wear on the driver seat bolster and the arm rest.

 

I guess that is about it.  Ive got fully liberty to negotiate on this thing.  I know with as good of shape as it is in, we will probably hold out for someone willing to pay on the higher end.  We want cash in hand at pick up, no checks or money orders of course.  Keep this in mind if you are thinking of shipping it because you will need to fly down and pick it up and drive it home.  I have the title in hand, signed.  A bill of sale will be signed as well at pick up.

 

Thanks for looking, let me know if you have questions.

BMW 4 Series production coupe caught on commercial shoot

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

Despite filming at 2:00 AM and at an undisclosed location, BMW minders filming a commercial for the fast-approaching 4 Series coupe were unable to ward off the long lenses of spy photographers. The result, as you can see here, is our first-ever look at the production version of BMW's new coupe, completely uncovered.
The night shots may be a little bit grainy, but the fast-moving 4 Series still looks pretty good with its camo closeted, matching the svelte lines of the concept car we saw in Detroit this winter. Expect that the 4 coupe will come to market with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder in 428i trim, and a turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder in 435i spec.
Take your time looking through our gallery of movie-star 4 Series photographs, and tell us what you think about the uncovered Bimmer, in comments.

30th Anniversary BMW M5 information leaks out

Mon, 05 May 2014

BMW hasn't kept its 30th Anniversary M5 a very big secret. It even hinted that "a surprise" was coming while celebrating its Autobahn-storming sedan's 30th birthday. However, what exactly was on the way has been a mystery... until now. The folks over at Bimmerpost have found some leaked details about the new model, and it's definitely more than just some badges special paint.
The biggest upgrade for the M5 is that power allegedly increases to 592 horsepower (600PS) and 516 pound-feet of torque (700 Newton-meters). That is a 32-hp and 14-lb-ft increase over the standard M5 and 17 ponies more than models with the Competition Package. The forum claims that all of the cars come with a dual-clutch gearbox, even in the US.
Styling also sees an upgrade with BMW Individual Frozen Dark Silver Metallic exterior paint, special 20-inch wheels, dark chrome trim and 30th Anniversary badges. The interior mixes Merino leather and Alcantara upholstery with dark aluminum trim and more celebratory badges.

Toyota, Mercedes, BMW top automakers included in List of Best Global Brands

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

Interbrand, a consultancy firm, has published its 13th annual list of the best global brands. Besides seeing some shakeups at the top - Apple and Google unseated Coca-Cola (a company that has dominated the survey since its birth), the 100-item list features 14 automakers, most of which enjoyed double-digit gains in brand value.
Toyota managed to retain its spot as the study's top automaker. It finished the survey in 10th position overall (the same as last year), despite a 17-percent improvement in its brand value, from $29.33 billion to $35.34 billion. Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Honda all made the top 20, at 11th, 12th and 20th place, respectively. Hopping a ways down the list, we come across Volkswagen in 34th place, up from 39th in last year's study, with a brand value of $11.12 billion, a 20-percent improvement over 2012. Ford and Hyundai round out the automakers in the top 50, at 42 and 43.
Porsche made the largest year-over-year gain of any automaker, with its brand value increasing 26 percent to $6.47 billion. Chevrolet meanwhile, cracks the list for the very first time at 89th place. As Interbrand notes, Chevy's inclusion is notable because of the sheer number of vehicles it moves for General Motors and its recent push in developing markets. The final interesting note on this survey is the position of an automaker that takes its name and logo more seriously than perhaps any other - Ferrari. The Italian exotic manufacturer finished 98th out of 100, with just $4.01 billion in brand value, a six-percent improvement over 2012.
