 2001 BMW M3
 Here is the most wanted 2001 BMW M3 Convertible in Imola Red with Black leather interior and top. State of art and intelligence is the phrase to describe this ultimate driving machine. The new M3 convertible, based on the delectable current-generation 3 Series, is propelled by the magnificent 3.2-liter engine, with 333 thundering horses coming from a single bank of six cylinders. Capped with a six-speed manual transmission, all that horsepower and the 262 foot-pounds of torque (at 4,900 rpm) is good enough to propel the 3,781-pound M3 convertible to 60 mph in just 5.4 seconds, according to BMW. But an exhilarating driving experience involves more than mere speed, and the dynamics of the M3 have car reviewers frothing at the mouth to describe the joy derived from piloting this vehicle. From its communicative steering and near-perfectly balanced chassis to the compliant-yet-firm ride, this Bimmer, like most others, will have you searching for that elusive twisty road upon which to spool the revs and extract that stunning exhaust note. Standard features for this convertible M3 include  
Bucket Seats, Center Console, Power Heated Mirrors, Keyless Entry System, Lighted Entry System, Power Brakes, Rear Window Defroster, Sport Power Seats, Premium Audio System, 18 Inch Alloy Wheels, Automatic Climate Control (2 Zone) - Driver and Passenger, 3.2L I6 DOHC 24V FI Engine, Power Driver Seat w/Memory, Limited Slip Differential (Rear), 6-Speed Manual Transmission, Trip Computer, Stability Control, Traction Control, 4-Wheel ABS, Driver and Passenger Front Airbags, Front Side Airbags, Anti-Theft Alarm System, Leather Seats, Power Front Passenger Seat, Audio Steering Wheel Controls, Cruise Control, Power Steering, Remote Trunk Release, Leather Steering Wheel Trim, Electrochromatic Rear View Mirror, Power Convertible Roof and much more..
heated power-adjustable sport bucket seats, rain sensor; these are optional on this beauty. Other options include a cold weather package that includes a ski bag, heated front seats and headlight washer system that'll make the cars more palatable during the winter months as is a CD player w/ harmon/kardon sound system, for crying out loud.

Listed for sale locatlly. I reserve the right to end the auction early if the asking price is met.

2015 BMW M3 is fast for the family man

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

BMW finally brought its four-door M3 into the public view, showing the new sedan off at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. The new M3 represents BMW's return to small, wildly fast four-door sedans after a several year absence following the discontinuation of the E90 M3 Sedan way back in 2011.
The M3 enjoys the same 425-horsepower, 3.0-liter six-cylinder used in the M4, with 406 pound-feet of torque and the owner's choice of either an old-fashioned six-speed manual or a seven-speed M dual-clutch transmission. All told, the new powertrain should scoot the four-door M to 60 in a mere 3.9 seconds (with the M DCT).
We've got a full gallery of live images of the all-new M3 up above, and we've included the original stock gallery down below. Feel free to peruse either, and then let us know what you think by sounding off down in Comments.

BMW 2 Series Active Tourer corners surprisingly flat on 'Ring

Mon, 07 Jul 2014

With seven seats and front-wheel drive, you might not expect the upcoming long-wheelbase version of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer to live up to the Ultimate Driving Machine reputation that BMW has fostered over the years. But the latest spy clip from the Nürburgring suggests otherwise.
The Bavarian automaker has apparently been testing its new people mover on the Nordschleife, getting it ready to join the growing 2 Series family. And though it's wearing heavy camouflage, we can clearly see from the video below that it's cornering impressively flat - which bodes well for those who'll need to transport their expanding family but aren't prepared to give up on handling.

Toyota close to licensing deal with BMW for fuel cell technology

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

For over a year now, we've been hearing about a potential partnership between Toyota and BMW on everything from sports cars to lithium-ion batteries, but one of the first cooperative projects between these two automakers could bring Toyota's hydrogen fuel cell technology to a BMW vehicle. Reuters is reporting that an announcement is likely to be made as soon as later this week regarding a BMW fuel cell vehicle that could be in production by 2020 with a prototype running around by 2015.
The last we heard of Toyota's fuel cell technology, it was in the FCV-R Concept that we saw at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show, but there is no word how far along in development this system is. If it does come to fruition, such a vehicle for BMW would build on the automaker's commitment to hydrogen that started with the Hydrogen 7, which unlike a fuel cell vehicle, simply ran on hydrogen fuel rather than converting it to electricity for use in motors. We're definitely interested where this Toyota/BMW tie up could be headed.
