Please do not bid unless you have your financing already lined up. I do not want to re-list this.
Up for sale is my daily driver for many years going up and down the NJ turnpike - Driving 94 miles each way to work and back - hence high mileage.
The Car is in what I would consider to be in good to excellent condition considering the age and mileage - people who see the car can't believe its 2002, its in good condition.
The car includes most items minus the navigation system. Since you are looking at M3, you already know what it is and can do so I won't bore you with details. Here's some details on condition of the vehicle...
- Seat - other than some creases, it still hold its shape, no rip or tearing anywhere. Other than some creases, it still looks good.
- Tires - I haven't really driven this car since last year - I've put cheapy tires last year (kumho?) and it still has plenty of thread left. But if you want more performance, I would put pilot sports or similar tires.
- Rims - its original so it has some curb rash/scratches. Still look ok. 20" would look awsome!
- Dings - there are one dings in each side of the door, not noticeable as you could see in the picture (have to look close). There's one other ding - near right top, its also small. The rest of the exterior is clean, few stone chips but I have a Dr Color chip and you could touch it up in about an hour for all of them (They really works but I haven't had time to do them).
- Front Bumper - The bottom skid plate was removed (The metal part is intact) as I've hit too many curb going into stores. Car is very low. There's some scratch on the bottom of the front bumper because of that, not noticeable.
- Mechanical - There's nothing wrong with the car. I enjoy working on cars, so I fixed and replaced quite a few things on the car. Head gasket was replaced and even cleaned while I was in there. There's no oil leak or anything. I change the oil every 5000 or less miles.
- Minor things - there's tow hook cover missing (tow driver took it) and insert on passerger door (side air bag label). Also, the both arm rest paint is cracked (from high summer heat), don't bother me but you may want to change that out.
- Repair - About couple of years ago, I was hit from the back on traffic crawl (less than 5mph). Because of the dumb A**, I've had the rear bumper, carborfiber underlayment and plastic cover (all done by Rocco in S.NJ). No frame damage, basically bumper was replaced, looks new.
I think I've describe what I know about the car to best of my knowledge. Although its as-is/whereas sale, I would guarantee that car is as described/pictured on the day I hand the key over to you. If you live locally, I would be glad to show/drive you for a demonstration.
If you need the car shipped (US only), please make sure its arranged on your own. I'll try to help with with local drop off and whatnot but that all I can do.
Once auction is over, please deposit $500 via paypal immediately (non refundable) then 5 days for Cash (preferred)/Certified check (need to clear).
Please direct all questions prior to end of auction.

Company car offers in decline, but not at The Cheesecake Factory [w/poll]
Sat, 22 Jun 2013As businesses look to keep high-level employees happy, it seems that use of company cars can still be an effective method, although fewer companies are employing it. According to Businessweek, only about 25 percent of companies offer company vehicles as a perk, while less than half give allowances for employees to use their personal vehicles for work purposes.
The report says that one business still in the practice of handing out company cars is The Cheesecake Factory, which offers the benefit to top managers. And we're not talking about some econobox, either. The article indicates the restaurant chain hands out BMWs on a three-year basis - although the company's own report says that the type of vehicle "varies with the executive's level."
Still, we mostly agree with the article's conclusion that money is the best way to keep employees or attract new ones, even if a corporate car is a big perk. What do you think? Let us know, in the poll below, whether a company car could sway you to work for a certain company (not just the Cheesecake factory, where the "Glamburgers" portion of the menu alone is enough to keep a guy hanging around).
2015 BMW M3 and M4 priced at $62,000 and $64,200
Wed, 15 Jan 2014When the BMW M3 and M4 debuted on Monday at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, it was to much fanfare and excitement. At that time, though, we were missing a big piece of the M3/M4 puzzle - the price.
According to a report from our roundel-obsessed friends at Bimmerfest, the four-door M3 will star at $62,000, while the M4 Coupe is priced at $64,200. Those prices do not include a $925 destination charge. That's a pretty significant jump over the $56,275 starting price of the old M3 Sedan and $59,275 starting price of the last M3 Coupe, although we'd argue that these cars should easily outpace their V8 counterparts in terms of overall performance. In other news, a six-speed manual will come standard, while the seven-speed M DCT will be an optional extra.
Bimmerfest also came up with a timeline for the M3 and M4's arrival. We should expect the official announcement of pricing, along with the full order guides, released near the end of this month or in early February. Production will kick off in March, while customers will be able to begin placing orders in late April. We'll get our first crack at both cars in June, with deliveries beginning later that month.
2014 BMW 328d ready to burn oil in just four cylinders
Thu, 28 Mar 2013Despite showing off the new 328d sedan in New Jersey yesterday, BMW though it only fair to bring the first four-cylinder diesel it will ever sell in the US to the New York Auto Show today as well. Unfortunately, the company remains vague about pertinent details like fuel economy and price, but we did hear again that the oil-burner will be capable of getting 45 miles per gallon on the highway. BMW's Oliver Ganser told AutoblogGreen, "We do not want to give out" the city or combined mpg ratings quite yet, but The New York Times got someone to estimate a fuel economy of mid-30s in the city.
The two-liter TwinPower turbocharged and direct injected engine and eight-speed automatic transmission (sorry, no manual will be available) put out 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque and should get the 328d up to 60 miles per hour in just over seven seconds. As we noted earlier, the 328d will be available with every option and trim level - like all-wheel drive - that other 3 Series models have in the US (transmission excepted) and should start at under $40,000 when it goes on sale this fall.
Officially, the 328b will be able to accept biodiesel blends up to B5 (or, just maybe B7), which is standard diesel with five (seven) percent biofuel. Read more about that and other aspects of the 328d here.
