Just in time for summer...
You are bidding on a 2002 BMW M3 Convertible. Experience open air, sports car performance in a four-passenger car you can drive every day. The 3.2L inline six-cylinder engine generates 333 hp, has an 8000 RPM redline and a 0-60 time of 5.4 seconds! Combine this with phenomenal handling and braking and you have the complete package for a true driver's car.
You are purchasing this car from its original owner, who ordered it to his specifications from BMW Seattle in 2002. It has been garaged since new in a smoke-free environment and has never been smoked in or even driven by a smoker. No pets have ever ridden in this car. The fully-automatic power top works excellently and has never leaked. This car is all original and can be enjoyed as is or customized to suit your tastes.
This car is equipped with a Formula One-derived Sequential Manual Gearbox (SMG). SMG is a real manual transmission with a hydraulically-actuated clutch in place of the clutch pedal. It gives you lightning-fast shifts from steering wheel-mounted paddles or the console-mounted shifter, while being easy to drive around town or in stop-and-go traffic.
This car is finished in a rare and stunning color combination of a Titanium Silver exterior and Black roof with an Imola Red and Black interior that is a constant source of compliments. It comes with a full complement of standard features including BMW M suspension and rear differential, automatic climate control, and rollover protection. It is well optioned, including Harmon-Kardon premium sound, xenon headlights with light sensor, rain-sensing wipers, rear parking sensors, and rear side airbags. In addition to the factory options, the car has a 3M Clear Bra that was installed when the car was new and comes with a genuine BMW wind blocker ($500 if purchased new). iPod connectivity was added in late 2011, though the iPod plug is currently damaged and needs to be repaired. The standard 18" wheels are wearing Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus ultra-high performance all-season tires; the rear tires have less than 14K miles on them and the front tires have 10K miles.
The car has been serviced regularly since new only at authorized BMW dealers and an independent shop that specializes in BMWs. Detailed service records are available upon request.
The car comes with its original keys and full set of manuals, the original Monroney (window) sticker, and even the original brochures. You will not find a nicer specimen of this model!
I love this car and still drive it regularly, but have to make room in my garage for a new car that's on the way.
Please contact me if you have other questions or would like to see additional photos of the car and its documentation. Serious inquiries only please.

BMW M5 arrives in Monterey packing 600 hp and matte paint
Fri, 15 Aug 2014What's a sure-fire way to make a vehicle better? Well, you can add power or make it more exclusive. BMW has done both, just in time to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the legendary M5 sedan.
Only 300 examples of the car you see above, the M5 30th Anniversary Edition, will be sold to the public, and those lucky owners will enjoy the most exclusive, most powerful M5 ever made. Power continues to flow from the standard M5's twin-turbocharged, 4.4-liter V8, which has had its wick turned up to 600 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. The sprint to 60 now happens in just 3.7 seconds, which is still a scarcely fathomable speed among sports cars, let alone comfortable, finely upholstered sedans.
Speaking of that upholstery, Alcantara and leather seats and an Alcantara steering wheel identify the exclusive M5, while special sill plates further call out the car's unique spec. Outside, the standard Competition Package adds 20-inch wheels and black chrome badges, while 30th Anniversary Editions wear BMW's Frozen Dark Silver matte paint.
BMW Concept X5 eDrive plug-in hybrid headed to Frankfurt
Thu, 22 Aug 2013With six confirmed public debuts scheduled for the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show, BMW is definitely going to have its hands full. While we've already driven models like the 4 Series and the i3, one of the more interesting introductions is a "concept" plug-in hybrid version of the new F15 BMW X5 called the BMW Concept X5 eDrive.
As the second concept to wear the eDrive name, this X5 combines a 95-horsepower electric motor with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine to balance performance and efficiency. On the green side of things, BMW says that the eDrive system allows the X5 to reach speeds of 75 miles per hour and a range of 19 miles (although we're guessing not at the same time) under electric power only, to go with fuel consumption of about 62 miles per gallon US (3.8 liters per 100 kilometers). For performance, this plug-in can still accelerate from 0-60 in under seven seconds, and drivers can select from three PHEV modes: one that operates the system automatically, an all-electric mode and a Save Battery mode to preserve the battery's current state of charge.
Aside from the obvious plug port on the left front fender, the X5 eDrive is differentiated from the 2014 X5 with slightly restyled front and rear fascias, subtle blue accents tying in with the BMW i line and lightweight, aero-tuned 21-inch alloy wheels. There is no definitive word on whether the Concept X5 eDrive will make it to production, but judging by BMW's recent commitment to plug-in vehicles, we wouldn't be surprised to see an X5 PHEV on the roads within the next couple of years. We'll see the Concept X5 in just a few weeks in Frankfurt, but until then, scroll down for the official press release.
BMW Concept Roadster has two fewer wheels than we were expecting
Fri, 23 May 2014The annual Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este on the shores of Lake Como is an opportunity for some of the most beautiful vehicles in the world to descend on one of the poshest places on earth each year. Unsurprisingly, the event is also increasingly the chance for automakers to debut exclusive concepts to some of the wealthiest auto enthusiasts in the world. In the last few years, BMW has become the masters of this annual unveiling with automotive concepts like the Gran Lusso Coupé, BMW Zagato Coupe and motorcycles like the the gorgeous Concept 90, not to mention the just-revealed Mini Superleggera Vision. But this year the Bavarian automaker has been somewhat tricky.
What would you first think when you heard of the BMW Concept Roadster? A lithe, two-seat convertible? Nope. This roadster is a cut-down, minimalist motorcycle with an ultra-modern design. As opposed to the retro looks of the Concept 90, this naked bike looks like it could fit in a BMW showroom tomorrow and not seem out of place.
The Concept Roadster packs the brand's classic two-cylinder boxer engine displacing 1,170 cubic centimeters and producing 123 horsepower and 92 pound-feet of torque. That power is routed to the rear wheel via a cardan drive, essentially a driveshaft, with a single-sided swing arm rear suspension. It's all nestled in a tubular spaceframe.
