Just in time for summer...
You are bidding on a 2002 BMW M3 Convertible. Experience open air, sports car performance in a four-passenger car you can drive every day. The 3.2L inline six-cylinder engine generates 333 hp, has an 8000 RPM redline and a 0-60 time of 5.4 seconds! Combine this with phenomenal handling and braking and you have the complete package for a true driver's car.
You are purchasing this car from its original owner, who ordered it to his specifications from BMW Seattle in 2002. It has been garaged since new in a smoke-free environment and has never been smoked in or even driven by a smoker. No pets have ever ridden in this car. The fully-automatic power top works excellently and has never leaked. This car is all original and can be enjoyed as is or customized to suit your tastes.
This car is equipped with a Formula One-derived Sequential Manual Gearbox (SMG). SMG is a real manual transmission with a hydraulically-actuated clutch in place of the clutch pedal. It gives you lightning-fast shifts from steering wheel-mounted paddles or the console-mounted shifter, while being easy to drive around town or in stop-and-go traffic.
This car is finished in a rare and stunning color combination of a Titanium Silver exterior and Black roof with an Imola Red and Black interior that is a constant source of compliments. It comes with a full complement of standard features including BMW M suspension and rear differential, automatic climate control, and rollover protection. It is well optioned, including Harmon-Kardon premium sound, xenon headlights with light sensor, rain-sensing wipers, rear parking sensors, and rear side airbags. In addition to the factory options, the car has a 3M Clear Bra that was installed when the car was new and comes with a genuine BMW wind blocker ($500 if purchased new). iPod connectivity was added in late 2011, though the iPod plug is currently damaged and needs to be repaired. The standard 18" wheels are wearing Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus ultra-high performance all-season tires; the rear tires have less than 14K miles on them and the front tires have 10K miles.
The car has been serviced regularly since new only at authorized BMW dealers and an independent shop that specializes in BMWs. Detailed service records are available upon request.
The car comes with its original keys and full set of manuals, the original Monroney (window) sticker, and even the original brochures. You will not find a nicer specimen of this model!
I love this car and still drive it regularly, but have to make room in my garage for a new car that's on the way.
Please contact me if you have other questions or would like to see additional photos of the car and its documentation. Serious inquiries only please.

2015 BMW M4 Coupe ditches some doors, gains some grunt
Mon, 13 Jan 2014If you saw our earlier post about the hot new BMW M3 Sedan and were about to call blasphemy for no coupe version, just settle down, silly. Remember: BMW now badges its two-door 3 Series models with the number four, and thus, meet the 2015 M4 Coupe. Looks hot, right?
So yeah, it's pretty much just the M3 with two less doors, but that doesn't make it any less important - or potent. Power comes from a turbocharged, 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine, sending 425 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels via either a six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. You know, the usual.
Not only is the M4 more powerful than the M3 Coupe it replaces, it's a good deal lighter, too. BMW has managed to cut 176 pounds of weight out of the M4, and that means, with the increased output numbers, that the M4 will scoot to 60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds with the DCT or 4.1 seconds with the do-it-yourself tranny. Either way, that's not what we'd call slow.
BMW M6 amped up for track duty by Risden
Sat, 22 Dec 2012Risden Engineering is a bit of an unknown, if we're being completely honest - we have yet to report on the company to date, and its corporate website is really an information desert save for the name and a few email addresses. Even the press release that we requested from Risden's contact person is short and vague. That's all pretty much okay with us as long as the shadowy tuners, you know, make good on this sweet-looking BMW M6 racecar thing.
Dubbed the Risden 6R, we're told that the M6 modification will result in a vehicle that is more adept at track work, while still being street-legal. In terms of specifics, we read that a full aero kit will be involved, with one fixed and one retractable rear wing (hard to miss). There are obviously new wheels, and the company has also added a fully adjustable suspension, a four-point roll bar and a new braking system - all while reducing curb weight overall.
Apparently more details are to follow after the 6R's official release in the first quarter of 2013. We wait with bated breath.
BMW to announce location of new plant in Mexico in July
Tue, 20 May 2014Volkswagen manufactures in Mexico. Soon Audi will as well, and Mercedes-Benz is said to be working on a deal to assemble some of its cars at a Nissan plant in Mexico too. That leaves BMW out of the mix of German automakers building cars South of the Border, but that may soon be rectified, as well.
According to Automotive News, the Bavarian automaker is preparing to announce the site of its first Mexican assembly plant as soon as July, now just two months away. BMW already builds cars for North American consumption at its plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina, but has reportedly been keen to capitalize on cheaper labor and the benefits of the North American Free Trade Agreement to supply vehicles to the United States and Canada especially.
When BMW does announce the site of the plant - reportedly narrowed down to either Hidalgo or San Luis Potosi - it is tipped to work its way up to 100,000 vehicles per year at the new location, potentially to include the 3 Series as well as smaller, front-drive models, including Minis.
