Excellent condition. No known mechanical issues.
Electronically selected horsepower, suspension and steering control!
414 Horsepower at your command! Speed, luxury and power!
This has been my weekend car and I simply do not drive it very much. It has been garaged and professionally
maintained. Those of you that have done some research on these cars may know that the most common (and expensive)
mechanical problem are the throttle actuators and both the left and right banks were replaced last year. They are
warrantied for two years by a local BMW repair shop.
The exterior is in great shape, but this is a BLACK car! So the paint will show every minor scratch, chip and
swirl. The car looks great as you can see in the pictures, but it is nearly 8 years old and there are some minor
imperfections, but nothing disappointing.
The interior is in great condition with the leather seats in fine shape. There is some leather wear on the drivers
side upper bolster where it cannot be avoided. The trim is black carbon fiber soft touch material.
Completely stock, no modifications except for the M3 colored front kidney grilles and carbon fiber BMW logo badges
on the front, back, wheels and steering wheel. Original grilles will be included with sale.
Vehicle had a full inspection in October of last year. Here was the report out:
Front Brake Pads at 5mm
Rear Brake Pads at 9mm
Front Tires at 8/32"
Rear Tires at 6/32"
Brake Fluid at 4% moisture
No Service Lights
No Check Messages
I've been getting a few questions about the insurance claim listed on the AutoCheck. If there was an actual
accident then it must have been superficial as there is nothing visually to indicate anything serious.. I had one
interested party that physically inspected the vehicle and could find nothing wrong. Anyone who is interested is
more than welcome to both inspect the car in person and take it for a test drive.

BMW offering Track Handling Package for 2 Series
Thu, 17 Apr 2014After getting a chance to drive the BMW M235i earlier this year, we mentioned our regret at not being able to sample the lighter and less powerful 228i Coupe. We'd like to have seen how close the latter could get to the former, noting that "there's a lot of room for upgrades with the $11,000 retail difference." BMW is closing that performance gap slightly, announcing that a Track Handling Package will join the options sheet for the 2015 228i Coupe.
The group bolts on Variable Sport Steering, Adaptive M Suspension and M Sport Brakes behind new 18-inch lightweight wheels wearing Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. There's no change to the 240-horsepower four-cylinder, but a coupe so equipped should be able to do plenty more with the horses it has thanks to a faster steering rack, sharper handling due to additional sensors and a ten-millimeter drop in ride height, and larger brakes and discs.
BMW has used the New York Auto Show as a venue to introduce the new Track Handling Package, and it will roll onto showroom floors in July and pricing will be announced sometime between now and then. Takers can get it with both the six-speed manual and eight-speed Sport Automatic, see it in the high-res image gallery above, and read about it in the press release below.
BMW 328d confirmed for New York debut
Thu, 14 Mar 2013Late last year, some of BMW's future diesel plans for the US market were leaked, and we learned that a diesel-powered version of the 3 Series sedan (pictured above in 335i guise) would be coming in the first quarter of 2013. That report appears to be holding true, as BMW has just confirmed the debut of the oil-burning 328d sedan as part of the company's New York Auto Show plans.
The 328d will be powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine good for 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. The rear-wheel-drive sedan will hit 60 miles per hour in 7.2 seconds and fuel economy numbers could "well exceed" 40 miles per gallon. (Official EPA numbers will be released closer to the car's launch.)
Elsewhere on BMW's New York stand, the company will show off the 3 Series Gran Turismo that debuted at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this month, as well as the Concept Active Tourer that we first saw in Paris last fall. Scroll down for the official press blast.
BMW to offer carbon fiber wheels in a year or two
Sun, 23 Feb 2014The Citroën SM sat on the first set of production glass fiber and resin wheels in 1972 when parent company Michelin developed the exotic hoops in order to take the SM rallying. It wasn't until 2008 that we got the first all-carbon-fiber wheel for passenger cars in the form of a prototype model from Weds Sports in Japan that remained a prototype. Australian company Carbon Revolution followed that a year later with its CR-9 all-CF wheel, first introduced on the Shelby Ultimate Aero and now available for independent purchase for about $15,000 per set. BMW could be the first OEM to offer entire wheels in carbon fiber reinforced plastic in two years.
The wheels - either all-CFRP or using a CFRP rim and alloy spokes - were shown off during BMW's Innovation Days in Munich and are products of the development work done on its i-branded cars. The full-CFRP wheel is 35-percent lighter than a forged alloy wheel, the hybrid alloy and CFRP wheel is 25-percent lighter, making for a decent drop in unsprung rotating weight. As demonstrators during a tech day the wheels aren't yet in the pipeline for production and EU approval, but an article in Auto Express claims that they could be on the market as soon as two years from now.
Other possible parts include a full carbon fiber steering wheel and propeller shaft, the latter of which is coming as a single-piece component on the new M3 and M4. BMW is also talking up its use of secondary carbon fiber - waste material from i3 and i8 production - that can be used for items like IP support structures, seat frames and spare wheels in place of traditional metals like aluminum and magnesium. There's an excerpt of the Innovation Day press release below with more details.
