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

On Apr-13-14 at 20:04:43 PDT, seller added the following information: 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 slapped with discrimination suit by EEOC
Thu, 13 Jun 2013According to a report from CNNMoney, BMW has been hit with a lawsuit from the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission after revised criminal background check policies resulted in the dismissal of 88 contractors, 70 of whom (that's about 80 percent) were black. A total of 645 contractors were required to submit to background checks at BMW's facility in Spartanburg, South Carolina after BMW switched contract companies at its plant.
Though the 88 persons who were not rehired by the new contractor all had criminal records, that may not necessarily be a legal way to screen applicants, as the EEOC counters: "BMW's policy has no time limit with regard to convictions. The policy is a blanket exclusion without any individualized assessment of the nature and gravity of the crimes, the ages of the convictions, or the nature of the claimants' respective positions."
BMW's actions were in violation of the Civic Rights Act of 1964, according to the EEOC, because they utilized "a criminal conviction policy that disproportionately screened out African-Americans." A recent bulletin offering guidance from the EEOC on the Civil Rights Act can be found here, but the EEOC's stance on the issue has been the same for years: "Since issuing its first written policy guidance in the 1980s regarding the use of arrest and conviction records in employment decisions, the EEOC has advised employers that under certain circumstances, their use of that information to deny employment opportunities could be at odds with Title VII."
BMW may keep next 1 Series out of the US
Tue, 07 May 2013As BMW prepares to introduce the all-new 2 Series coupe and convertible, the 1 Series name definitely won't be going away. We know new sedan and hatchback models are in the works; including the GT shown above. According to Car and Driver, though, the future of the 1 Series nameplate in the US could be dependent on rival premium small cars like the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class and Audi A3.
In an interview with C/D, BMW's North American head of product planning and strategy, Paul Ferraiolo, said that pricing might be the biggest deterrent to offering the third-gen 1 Series in the US. As he points out, BMW currently prices the 1 not too far from the 3 Series, but Mercedes-Benz and Audi will have their new small cars priced well below the $30,000 mark. BMW's Mini brand will also factor into the consideration since the 1 GT will share its underpinnings with the next-gen Cooper lineup.
BMW details Concept X5 eDrive ahead of New York debut
Sun, 13 Apr 2014Already weighing more than most other types of vehicles and with the space to accommodate the extra equipment, crossovers and SUVs arguably make for one of the more ideal platforms to transform into a hybrid. And there have been a handful of them - like the Audi Q5, Infiniti QX60/Nissan Pathfinder, Porsche Cayenne/Volkswagen Touareg, Lexus RX450h/Toyota Highlander and Cadillac Escalade/Chevy Tahoe/GMC Yukon - but by and large the majority of hybrids on the market are sedans and hatchbacks. BMW, however, looks poised to join the minority with the X5.
The Bavarian automaker showcased the X5 eDrive concept at Frankfurt last year, and as promised, has now revealed the followup it will present at the New York Auto Show in just a few days. The new Concept X5 eDrive, as BMW has now revealed, pairs a 2.0-liter turbo four good for 245 horsepower to a 95-hp electric motor to deliver a combined 340 horsepower. Its lithium-ion battery can power it for up to 20 miles and at speeds up to 75 miles per hour before the gasoline engine needs to kick in. All that without sacrificing the vehicle's utility, maintaining an almost perfectly flat loading floor with 40:20:40 split-folding rear seats, and without sacrificing much on performance, either: with a 0-62 time of seven seconds flat, the X5 eDrive concept is quicker off the line than the production X5 with the 2.5-liter turbodiesel and just a tenth off of the 3.0-liter turbodiesel.
With the full technical details now released (you can delve into it all in the press release below), the only question remains when BMW will actually put the X5 eDrive into production. Given its appearance in New York, though, we gather that whenever it does reach showrooms, it'll reach American ones as well.
