2004 BMW M3 E46 with SMG transmission for sale. Imola Red (color exclusive to M vehicles). 90,500 miles on the odometer. I purchased this car in August 2011 with approximately 84,000 miles. Vehicle is in excellent running order. Car has been well maintained, garage kept, weekend driven only, never a daily driver vehicle. It has always been a non-smoker's vehicle. I never raced it, and it was always driven carefully.

What's Right:
• Car is mechanically sound and is an excellent example of an E46 M3. It is extraordinarily fast and performs as it was intended. It shows some minor signs of wear and tear, but the important things on this car work very well.
• When I bought the car I had the usual filters, drive belts, spark plugs and fluids inspected and swapped. I have had the car professionally maintained since then and have copies of these records.



What's wrong:
• The cigarette lighter is missing. The socket still works for phone chargers, etc.
• The driver's side power door lock has never worked for unlocking. It does work for locking. I simply use the key to unlock the driver's side door after I disarm the alarm.
• There is a trim rail missing on the roof. This rail conceals mounting holes for a ski rack.
• The tire sensor light on the dash board is always on, no matter how the tire pressures are set.
• The body and wheels have some scratches from the previous owner. Some of them were repaired, and evidently not by a professional.
• The driver's floor mat was missing when I purchased this car. Same for some of the factory tools in the car's trunk lid.
• The fuel gauge is consistent, but a little off. This is apparently common for this vehicle. When the gauge reads 1/4 full, I start looking for gas stations.
• It leaks windshield wiper fluid.
• Both fog lamps have cracks on the lenses. They both work fine despite the cracks.
  Rear tires will need to be changed soon. Front tires are in great condition.





Aftermarket parts:
• The front struts were replaced. Initially I was going to buy stock struts, however Koni adjustable struts were available and actually cheaper than factory stock. They work amazingly well. The softest setting performs like the factory struts, leaving room to tighten them up for a more performance oriented feel.
• The factory stereo was pretty pathetic, and was replaced with a Kenwood CD player (Excelon KDC-X796), professionally installed by CARTOYS. CARTOYS also hardwired and routed a radar detector cord to the top of the dashboard, so that a cord would no longer be required at the cigarette lighter or draped across the heater and stereo controls. CARTOYS also installed an aftermarket alarm system (Clifford Model 320.3X).
• The factory auto-dimming rearview mirror was replaced by a more reliable and safer electronic version. The stock mirrors have a tendency to fail, and leak corrosive liquid.

Included:
• Full set of Cooper studded snow tires mounted on 17" alloy wheels. 225 45 R17 tires, the size recommended by BMW for winter tires.
• 2 BMW keys.
• 2 alarm remotes and instructions for alarm system.
• Box for the Kenwood stereo system, remote and instructions.
• Koni front strut adjusting knob.
• Instructions for alarm system
• Original BMW Business CD player/radio
• Bentley Mechanic's Manual

Features:
• Power Steering
• Power Door Locks
• Cruise Control
• Traction Control
• Anti-Lock Brakes
• Keyless Entry
• Power Windows
• Automatic Climate Control
• Leather Seats
• Stability Control
• Limited Slip Differential
• Lightweight Domed Aluminum Hood
• 3.2L Inline 6 cylinder engine; 7900 Rpm Redline and 333 Horsepower
• Steering column mounted Shifting Paddles, in addition to the center console mounted gearshift.
• Automatic shifting mode

Options:
• Heated Seats
• 19" Alloy "M" Wheels
• Power Sunroof
• Bi-Xenon Headlamps
• M Leather Steering Wheel
• Front Center Armrest
• Auto-Dimming Interior Mirror
• Park Distance Control
• Rain Sensor Windshield Wipers
• Auto Headlights
• Six-speed sequential manual gearbox (SMG II), an electronically shifted version of the M3's standard six-speed manual.

Thanks for looking!

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 4 Series Gran Coupe caught without cladding

Wed, 04 Sep 2013

Like it or not, the majority of BMW 3 Series variants are on their way out, and the 4 Series models are hotly embroiled in the testing needed to replace them. We've now driven the basic 4 Series, seen spy photographs of the 4 Series Convertible and both versions of the M4 and today we get a better-than-ever look at the 4 Series Gran Coupe.
And, mostly dependent on your personal disposition towards four-dour coupes, that look should be a pleasant thing. The long, swooping Gran Coupe may be roughly similar in size to the related 3 Series GT, but it has been sculpted with beauty in mind rather than crossover function. We expect that those details still hidden by the body cladding here, mostly front and rear, can be filled in by simply remembering what the standard 4 Series looks like and squinting your eyes a bit. Subtlety is thy name, BMW variants.
As for the mechanicals, well, we expect to have the very same greasy bits under the hood and beneath the car that are found in the 4 Series lineup, too.

BMW predicts 2 Series Active Tourer will have 75% conquest rate

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

In the last few years, BMW has definitively proven that it wasn't a slave to its legacy. In the US, the 3 Series was generally associated with smooth, flat-six engines, but the Bavarian brand dropped a four-cylinder turbo into it. The company was also known for its sports sedans, and it went green with the i3 and i8. Now, rear-wheel drive is off the table as defining its vehicles, as well. With the imminent launch of the 2 Series Active Tourer, the Bavarian's models are going front drive and opening up themselves to a whole new group of customers, so the thinking goes.
"We are expecting the Active Tourer will have a conquest rate of around 75 percent," said Frank Niederlaender, a BMW product manger, to Automotive News Europe. If you're not hip to the lingo, that means three quarters of the hatchback's buyers would come from other brands - an impressive figure, if accurate.
When it hits the road, the 2 Series Active Tourer will be the first BMW-branded vehicle to use the company's UKL front-wheel drive platform, already on the current Mini Cooper. The roomy hatchback is aimed at young families looking for a car that is luxurious but can still tote around the tots. It launches in Europe in September to compete against similar models like the Mercedes-Benz B-Class, but the Bimmer isn't crossing the Atlantic to the US until early 2015, according to ANE.
