2002 Bmw M3 61000 Low Miles - Carbon Black Smg Never Driven In Winter on 2040-cars

Year:2002 Mileage:61129
Location:

2002 BMW M3 - No issues! Clean and clear title. First off this car has never been driven when there is salt on the road, I just took it out of storage for the first time today. I usually wait until May but it was a perfect day and I had some free time. There are some minor dings here and there along with paint chips and the bottom of the front bumper has some spider cracking. The car has never been in an accident. It was scraped (front fender) in previous owners driveway. We do have the paperwork for the paint work. There are no mechanical issues at all. I have owned the car for about 4 years now and the only times it's been in the shop are for oil changes. I get at least one a year even though I only drive a couple thousand miles. These are all done at Cantech Automotive. I also have all service records from the previous owner. Last fall I did put new OEM spec rear brake rotors and pads on. I went through the complete seating process and they work great. The fronts still have plenty of life. I spent a lot of time looking for this M3. As you know, a lot of these have been beat on. This one has not. I never drove it hard, and it was clearly not driven hard by the previous owner. When I do store it in the winter I park the tires on cardboard and carpet and also over inflate the tires to avoid flat spots. I fill the gas tank all the way up with ethanol free fuel, I use only ethanol free in this by the way. I put fuel stable in, and put it on a controlled trickle charge (new battery last year). I also put fridge pack baking soda boxes in to avoid dampness. The tires have about 5000 miles on them and have never been patched. They are: Rear: Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110 275/30R19XL 96Y SBL Front: 2 Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110 245/35R19XL 93Y SBL The car came with the following options: Carbon Black Winter Weather Package - includes heated seats and ski pass through rear seat Navigation 6 Disc Changer - has been removed, still have. It does work great. SMG 6 Speed Transmission Power Seats with Driver Memory Reverse warning sensors I have added the following: Borla Exhaust 140034 Cat-Back System ($1,200) - muffler and tail pipe system. There are about 4,000 miles on it. Included in sale is the original muffler and tailpipes and there are no issues with it. Dice Mediabridge 1500 ($200) - allows bluetooth and ipod hookup right through aux button on radio. This works very well. Has USB hookup, aux 1/8" hookup, and another hookup for USB drive. This hooks up through the CD changer so that has been removed. I only use my ipod anyway. Macht Schnell silicone air intake charge pipe ($90) - Included in sale is the original. BSW Subwoofer box with integrated amplifier ($650) - fits under package tray, drastically improves base. Included in sale are the original woofers. BSW Front Midrange & Tweeter ($250) - Included in sale are the originals. Carbon fiber rear diffuser ($350) - Included in sale is the original LED Rear Taillights ($250) - Included in sale are the originals LED Angel Eyes ($150) - These don't replace anything but look great. Eurotray ($45) - This replaces the cupholder and I use it to store my ipod and the bluetooth hookup. Included in sale is the original cup holder. Avant Garde Type M310 Wheels Hyper Silver ($1000) If you're still with me...only available for showing when it's not raining. No test drives unless you're very serious and the roads are dry, you won't be disappointed. I think this is it. If you have any other questions please just ask.

 There is also a ridge in the windshield at about the end of where the wiper blade would travel, it's faint but it seems like the metal end may have bent under at one time and scored it.

BMW broadens engine bolt recall to nearly half-million cars worldwide

Fri, 11 Apr 2014

Almost one month ago, we reported on a BMW investigation into a potentially defective bolt that lived in the company's VANOS variable valve timing system. At that point, the potential recall was seemingly limited to Chinese-market cars; the company was filing a recall application with Chinese officials.
Today, Bloomberg is reporting that the engine bolt issue has expanded into a recall for several world markets, involving some 489,000 vehicles. BMW was able to verify that report to Autoblog, while also providing a great deal more detail about the issue and vehicles affected.
The recall affects vehicles powered by N55 inline six-cylinder gasoline engines equipped with VANOS and Valvetronic technologies. 1 Series, 3 Series, 5 Series and 5 Series Gran Turismo, X3, X5, X6 and Z4 models from the 2010 to 2012 model years are included, as is the 2012 6 Series.

2014 Dinan S1 BMW M5

Thu, 04 Sep 2014

The last time the Dinan name graced the pages of Autoblog, Michael Harley was waxing poetic about the S3-R BMW 1M Coupe, a car that still stands in his ranks as one of the best cars he's ever driven. And that wasn't just because it was, you know, amazing. It's because as far as tuners go, Dinan produces some seriously well-executed products. Harley said of the 1M, for example, "It was so fully formed and well-rounded that it felt like BMW itself had made it."
Eager to sample some of these wholly wonderful wares, I cleared a few hours in my Monterey Car Week schedule and booked a date with the S1 M5 you see here - the (current) daily driver of Mr. Steve Dinan, himself. But unlike the S3-R 1M the company tuned previously, the donor car in question here is vastly different and, if I'm honest, not as good. See, I adore the stock 1M in a way words cannot express, but the standard-issue M5... good as it is, there are indeed a few flaws.
But after driving the Dinan S1 M5 around the Monterey Peninsula, I can confirm two things. First, Harley's conclusion that Dinan builds products that feel 100 percent BMW-spec is absolutely true. And second, Steve and the gang haven't just created a tuned M5, they've built a better one.

The Homer to contest 24 Hours of LeMons

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

It's finally happened. A 24 Hours of LeMons team has built the definitive interpretation of The Homer from The Simpsons for competition in an upcoming race. As you may recollect, The Homer is the fictional car designed by Homer Simpson for his brother's car company. Designed with a separate compartment for screaming children and other Homer-centric goodies, the animated machine bankrupted its parent company and put Homer's brother out of a job. Now we get to watch it race other crap cans as it tackles Southern California's Buttonwillow Raceway on June 29. Scott Chamberlain, Kris Linquist, Reid Conti, Ben Reilly and Mike Yepes will helm the machine, and Jeff Herman serves as the team's creative director.
The racer is the latest incarnation of a well-abused BMW 3 Series. The team campaigned the same E30 under the "Prickstine" banner as a Chrysler Imperial tribute and "Porcubimmer," the latter being a riff on the ever-popular joke about the difference between porcupines and BMW models. Never gets old. You can check out a video of the finished Homer below, and be sure to like the team on Facebook to see updates from the race. Now, about that Canyonero...
