For sale by owner. Great condition 2008 328i Coupe in a configuration that emphasizes performance and style. The Black exterior color matches the tan and wood interior perfectly and the sport package brings the car few inches lower. Great stance and rare special edition BBS rims make the car stand out and will catch you looks and compliments. The manual transmission compliments the car's overall sport tuned performance and shaves off 0-60 time, weight and maintenance cost. Another cool feature is the Xenon Adaptive Headlights - they really help on tight turns and dark roads! I also drove the car for 3 winters with snow tires and the car handles great in the snow. All repairs and maintenance were done at the dealership since i owned the car (records and receipts available) and overall i never had any unusual problems with the car. Awesome car, ready to be enjoyed by someone else. I will be upgrading to the new 2 series coupe. See more description below.

2008 BMW 328i Coupe Sport Package Manual Black on Tan Leather

Vehicle Condition:

Minor scuffs on rims (see pics). missing tow hook cover on rear bumper (part included unpainted). slight paint peeling on driver side door handle. Driver side floor mat starting to wear off. Otherwise in great condition cosmetically. Runs and drives daily and there are no mechanical issues. Suspension is tight, brakes are tight, no unusual noises, Clutch is in great condition and pressure plate was changed by dealer. Interior components function perfectly, radio sounds great, auxilary port works great, all dashboard components and lights fully functional. Tires are pretty worn out, will likely need replacing soon. Oil was changed recently and inspection is good until 9/15. Windshield washer fluid only holds quarter gallon at a time (any more leaks out). Likely could use a tuneup and/or whatever the usual bmw schedule is for maintenance at this mileage. Never been in an accident, all original paint and panels.

2008 BMW 3 Series Coupe

Benefits of Driving a 2008 BMW 3 Series Coupe

The 2008 BMW 3-Series continues to be the benchmark against which other entry-level luxury cars are measured, mainly courtesy of its excellent driving experience. Power, braking, and handling are perfectly matched to the vehicle's size and intended usage. The way BMW takes care of business inside the cockpit also has a lot to do with the popularity of this breed. The 3-Series makes sure no buyer is left behind by offering four body styles, three engines, and both rear- and all-wheel drive. 2008 also will see the new M3 in coupe, sedan, and convertible form, adding racecar-like performance to the lineup.

What's new for 2008?

BMW's excellent 3-Series returns for 2008 with minimal changes to the core lineup, save for the addition of the all-wheel-drive 335xi coupe (previously available only with rear-wheel drive). Paddle shifters are newly optional on the entry-level 328 versions. On the 335i coupe, a new 19-inch alloy wheel set is available, and the standard 16-inch alloy wheels have been restyled for the 328 sedans and sport wagons.

Model Strengths

Driving pleasure par excellence
wide variety of bodies and drivetrains
the best inline six-cylinder engines for those who love motoring
the near-supercar M3.

Model Review

BMW's 3-Series has always been an exemplar of how to combine luxury and sportiness, and this continues with the 2008 versions. The 328i features BMW's exceptional 3.0L engine, which uses double-VANOS technology to steplessly adjust both the intake and exhaust timing on way to producing 230 horsepower. The 335i models are powered by a twin-turbocharged version of the same six-cylinder. This gem of an engine produces 300 horsepower and an equal amount of torque. Both six-cylinder powerplants are matched with a superb six-speed manual transmission, while a six-speed Steptronic automatic transmission is a $1,275 option.

Test Driver Ratings & Comments
Acceleration comments	Deceptively quick, this engine is so smooth it doesn't seem that it will power this 3 to a 14-second quarter-mile time. Launch: 4,700 rpm with some clutch-slip.
Braking rating	VG
Braking comments	Typical reassuring BMW brake pedal performance. Nice, solid response on every stop -- distances shorten as heat builds. Nice.
Handling rating	VG
Handling comments	So much info through steering! Even the entry-level 3 Series has it. Excellent grip, too. So much compliance combined with sharp steering response and body control, the 3 Series is truly a class leader when it comes to handling.

BMW M235i Racing restores our faith in 'M'

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

Based on the upcoming BMW 2 Series and aimed at amateur and semi-professional racers, the 2014 BMW M235i Racing is a stripped-down, race-spec coupe ready to take on the Nürburgring in the VLN Endurance Championship race series against cars from Audi, Porsche and Toyota.
Obvious in the image above (click to enlarge), BMW has given the M235i Racing the wide-body treatment with a track that has been stretched by 3.5 inches. Under the hood, the 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder receives a power boost from a stock 322 horsepower up slightly to 333 hp, while other modifications include a full FIA roll cage, a racing fuel tank and a limited slip rear differential.
The M235i Racing replaces the M3 GT4 as BMW's factory racer, and it will be priced at 59,500 euros (close to $80,000), which is about as affordable as a factory-prepped racecar can get. The full press release is posted below, but we can't wait to see this car in action next year.

BMW 2 Series, X5 get their M Performance parts on

Mon, 02 Dec 2013

BMW models come in a number of flavors, from their standard guises to M Sport variants and M Performance models to full-on M muscle machines. But if you want to pick and choose the degree to which you want your Bimmer upgraded along the path to M, BMW automaker offers its M Performance Parts line. The Bavarian automaker already offers these performance and stylistic add-ons for a number of models, and has now released new kits for both the 2 Series Coupe and the latest X5 crossover.
The catalog for the 2 Series includes an available lowered suspension kit, upgraded brakes, new alloys, carbon aero kit and interior trim enhancements. There's also a power kit available for the 220d model that squeezes out an extra 16 horsepower for a total of 200, and a limited-slip differential and exhaust silencer for the M235i.
Upgrades to the X5 crossover, meanwhile, also include a carbon aero kit and interior trim package. The X5 xDrive35i model also gets a power kit boosting output by 20 ponies to 326 hp and an exhaust silencer. Scope out the details in the pair of press releases below and the pair of high-resolution image galleries top and bottom.

BMW recalls diesel X5 models over fuel filter heater

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

BMW has announced that it is recalling 1,540 examples of its 2009 and 2010 X5 xDrive35d crossovers produced between June 13, 2009 and November 9, 2009.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the model's fuel filter heater, which warms up the diesel fuel at low outside temperatures, can experience an electrical overload condition that may cause it to become permanently activated. This means the fuel filter heater could remain activated even when the ignition is off, which could lead to a dead battery. It could also lead to overheating, possibly resulting in a fire.
