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.


With respect to everyone, please do not email me asking what the “lowest price” Ill take for the car.  Im not interested in getting a low price obviously, I am interested in getting the highest fair price I can get for a car I feel is in excellent mechanical shape!  I probably will not respond to those emails.


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

2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe

Wed, 30 Oct 2013

One 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.

BMW stripes up X6 M Design Edition

Tue, 24 Sep 2013

There's something that makes red, dark blue and light blue stripes running up the fenders and down the flanks of a white car just that much more eye-catching. Whether it's a Martini Racing liveried racecar or something from the BMW skunkworks, they just draw long looks nothing else can. And here's the latest.
The BMW X6 M Design Edition upgrades on the standard X6 M with such special touches as 21-inch alloys, a carbon front splitter and rear splitter, black grilles and diffusor, and of course, those iconic racing stripes, which come as an option on this model.
The interior has been done up in black leather with Mugello red accents and piano black trim. Only 100 individually-numbered examples will be offered, and given that this one's wearing German plates, we doubt there's much chance many (if any) will make it Stateside. But then again, you could always spec up your own X6 M with most if not all of the same trim and forgo the little number plate on the dashboard.

BMW i8 Concours d'Elegance Edition is so cool it's Frozen

Fri, 15 Aug 2014

The new, one-of-a-kind BMW i8 Concours d'Elegance Edition made a ritzy debut last night at BMW's private villa, giving the media its first chance to look at the ultra-exclusive hybrid.
As we said in our previous post, the most notable feature of the Concours d'Elegance i8 is its matte grey paint, known as Frozen Grey Metallic in BMW parlance. This isn't the first time we've seen this shade on an exclusive BMW, as it was last used for the Frozen Grey M3 from 2010.
Contrasting quite nicely with the i8's flat paint are its blue and white accents, and its Dalbergia Brown leather upholstery. Blue contrast stitching complements the interior aesthetic, as do the embossed BMW roundels in the headrests.
