DESCRIPTION

For sale is this 2002 Alpine White BMW M3 with tons of aftermarket components. This car looks and runs great. The vehicle has mostly highway miles due to the previous owner's long work commute, and has been serviced regularly and maintained very well. Never been in an accident, the vehicle and title are both clean and clear. The vehicle recently had a significant amount of work done on the rear suspension, including rear subframe reinforcement, rear subframe mounts replaced, all new rear trailing arm bushings and new upper shock mounts. Other work done recently includes, new battery, new e-brake cable, and two brand new rear Yokohama S Drive performance tires with less than 100 miles on them. This M3 is all tuned up and ready to go and is quite an experience to drive. Big even power band, nice linear torque curve, and handles like it's on rails. 

AFTERMARKET COMPONENTS

This M3 is loaded with tons of aftermarket goodies, including:
- CSL Front bumper
- CSL Carbon fiber trunk
- CSL Style front splitters
- Carbon fiber rear diffuser 
- K&N Typhoon Cold Air Intake
- Aftermarket exhaust (Brand unknown, but is high end with the blue titanium tip. Looks and sounds amazing.)
- Koni Yellow Adjustable Sport Shocks/Struts
- H&R Sport Spring set
- 20" HRE Performance wheels

Aftermarket parts totaling over $10,000 in value. The HRE Performance wheels are top of the line and alone are worth approximately $6,000.

KNOWN ISSUES

There are a few minor issues with the vehicle as-is, but all are accessory related, and in no way effect or relate to the drivability, performance, or mechanical condition of the vehicle, but I am selling the vehicle as-is and in the spirit of full transparency, the issues are as follows:

- Passenger door lock does not operate properly. The door will not unlock via the key, or the lock/unlock button in the center console. It will open from the driver pulling the inside door handle open about 25% of the time. This is undoubtedly a minor electrical issue, and should be an easy/cheap fix. This issue just very recently occurred, and knowing that I was planning on selling the car, I decided to leave it be. 
- Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) function stays off, and can not be turned on via the DSC button in the center console. This does not effect the drivability of the vehicle at all, and I actually prefer to drive the vehicle with the DSC off since it is a sports car, so this was never something I cared to get fixed, but again is undoubtedly a minor electrical issue. 
- Outside temperature gauge reads -40 degrees. Cheap and easy to replace.
- Keyless entry remote batteries are dead. A new one from the factory is all that is needed.
- Minor curb scuffing on the outside edge of the passenger side wheels. Totally normal wear and nothing extreme. 
- Some minor scuffing on center part of rear seats. Minor scuffing of center console around e-brake, and wear on driver's side interior door handle. All average wear and tear for the vehicle's age and nothing unexpected here. 

This car is perfect for the sports car and/or BMW enthusiast. Runs and drives incredibly, handles like it's on rails, and looks fantastic.

BMW M4 sheds some camouflage for latest test run

Fri, 15 Mar 2013

Last time we saw the upcoming BMW M4 out testing, it was heavily clad with camouflage and decidedly homely looking (as most early development mules are). But in this latest set of photos, the M3 coupe successor has started to come into its own skin, and we're seeing a shape more closely akin to that of a rendering we brought you a few months back.
Unsurprisingly, the M4 coupe looks very similar to the 4 Series Concept that BMW debuted at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year. And while non-M version of the 4er will likely look a bit more sedate, these spy shots clearly show an aggressive front fascia, large wheels and the usual quad-exhaust rounding out the rear end.
Naturally, the M3 sedan will launch before this M4 coupe (and convertible), and powertrain details are still unclear as of this writing. We understand that the current M3's naturally aspirated V8 will be axed in favor of some sort of turbocharged six-cylinder engine, and we've heard plenty of rumors as to what, exactly, it might be, but we have yet to hear any official confirmation.

BMW 02 Series mini-documentary makes us fall in love all over again

Sun, 24 Mar 2013

BMW's current reputation of building Ultimate Driving Machines can be traced back through history all the way to 1966, when the German automaker introduced the world to its 1600-2 two-door at the Geneva Motor Show. The car's name was simplified in 1971 to BMW 1602, and it went on to spawn the 2002, one of the most famous BMW models of all time.
BMW looks back on its past successes in a video that you can see below. As the automaker itself says in the video description, "This series was extraordinarily successful in reinterpreting the concept of the sports saloon and played a major role in motor sport long after production had come to an end." The 2002 would be replaced in 1975 by another legendary model from BMW: the 3 Series.
We'd be lying if we said we didn't long for something along the lines of the classic 2002 from BMW today. Since that doesn't seem likely to happen anytime soon, join us in remembering the cars that helped make BMW a household name by scrolling down below.

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.
