Gorgeous 2002 Bmw E46 M3 With Many Tasteful Upgrades! Not Driven In Winter! on 2040-cars
Brookfield, Wisconsin, United States
|
Hello all. Thanks for the interest in my M3. I purchased this M3 almost a year ago exactly. I purchased it with the intension of it being a fun summer car. I knew full well that it would not be driven in the winter because I had a Toyota Landcruiser for that part of the year. I enjoyed it greatly for the warmer months and put it away before the first snow last fall. My current though is to attempt to consolidate down to one car and purchase a BMW 335xi. I thought I would attempt to sell the M3 with this plan in mind. Please note that I am not in a hurry to sell. In fact, I love this car. If I end up keeping it for another year, I will do so gladly. Therefore, please don’t send me any lowball offers. I know how hard it is to find a well maintained E46 M3 6-speed, especially one with all of these nice upgrades (it took me about a year to find this car). In addition, this car is not wintered! No salt and muck. I kept it in the garage under car cover up on jack stands all winter long! I have just been waiting for all of the salt and snow to be off the roads before I take it back out. The buyer should know that this is a very well maintained car, and I
have a two inch thick folder full of receipts for the car totaling over $15,000
in repairs and maintenance! Some very high dollar fixes / replacements have
been completed including a NEW BMW transmission and clutch done about 2.5 years
ago to the tune of $7,500. Apparently some of the syncros had started to
complain a bit, so the previous owner had a factory replacement transmission
installed, and then sold the car… bad for him. Great for me (and you). All of
the normal BMW M3 issues have already been addressed. Wheel bearings, bushings,
etc all upgraded and/or done. Bilstein coil-overs CSL front bumper CSL rear spoiler CSL Diffuser BMW 330d short throw shifter Powercoated black 19"s with NEW Conti DW Tires Magnaflow catback stainless steel exhaust - sounds awesome! AFE intake New Stoptek Slotted rotors with red calipers and Hawk pads Angel eyes Other really cool add-ons : Dice Ipod hook up in glove box ZHP Alcantara steering wheel ZHP Alcantara shifter boot with ZHP knob Carbon fiber Dinoc trim Carbon fiber side gills Black Kidney grills Professionally Tinted windows Some additional items within the last year: New rear trailing arm bushings and alignment New differential pinion and output shaft seals New thermostat and Coolant flush Please forgive the somewhat random photos. I still have the car in storage and just pulled these together from my phone pics. Please feel free to Call or text with questions 4I4-587-I789 or email:

BMW wants world drifting record back in US
Sat, 23 Mar 2013BMW just can't stand the thought of the world record for the longest drift winding up in the hands of someone else. The German automaker is set to take a crack at setting a new record by blowing the old one straight out of the water. A driver in China holds the current title after kicking a car sideways for a full 3.6 miles. Now, on May 11, BMW Performance Driving Instructor Johan Schwartz will attempt to pitch a BMW M5 sideways for some 40 miles as part of a stunt to raise funds for the BMW Pro-Am Charity.
We've had the distinct pleasure of riding with the instructors at the BMW facility in South Carolina, and we can tell you that if anyone can keep an M5 at full tilt for 40 miles, it's these guys. BMW has released a teaser video to drum up attention for the stunt. You can catch it below.
BMW i8 with 500+ horsepower in the cards?
Wed, 22 Oct 2014While BMW makes plenty of machinery to keep enthusiasts interested, its most enticing models are often based on more ordinary ones. That's what made the arrival of the i8 so captivating, emerging as the first stand-alone BMW sports coupe since the M1. But if its dual purpose - trying its best to both embrace the earth and traverse it rapidly - somehow left you disappointed, the next development could prove to fix that.
According to Automobile, BMW is working on a more potent i8S model. The hardcore version of the hybrid sports car would offer more power and a stiffened chassis to make it that much more aggressive. The Bavarian automaker is reportedly still evaluating two potential powertrain options: The first would pair a 2.0-liter twin-turbo four-cylinder good for 320 horsepower to an electric motor with another 204 hp. The second would use a 3.0-liter straight six with 480 hp and an electric motor with 109 hp. Both would be mated to a nine-speed dual-clutch transmission and an integrated starter motor packing an extra 27 hp.
Either way, we'd be looking at a combined output well in excess of 500 horsepower - far more than the existing i8's 228-hp turbo three and 129-hp electric motor - dropping the 0-62 time down from 4.1 seconds to an estimated 3.5. Couple that to a more advanced carbon chassis, wider tires and other goodies, and the i8 would be transformed into a far more capable performance machine than it already is.
2014 BMW 4 Series Convertible [w/video]
Thu, 20 Feb 2014Here it is, the fifth generation of BMW's 3 Series Convertible - only this one begins with a "4," having been rechristened as a droptop version of the new 4 Series Coupe. With thirty years of work on this same recipe and having gotten it so right for much of that time, the Munich compact premium convertible has been a WYSIWYG affair for decades: once you saw its sedan paradigm, you knew what it was going to look like in roofless two-door form, and what you saw is exactly what you got.
It is ridiculous to think that BMW would choose this new model and its new nomenclature to muck things up. The new car has, though, gotten larger and roomier, and even though it's now part of the racier coupe division within the company's compact line, it has gotten more, shall we say, mature. Driving even further away from the days when handsomely tipped bartenders could work their way into one, The Ultimate Tanning Machine had shed even more elan, going instead for elegance and an attitude befitting its $49,675 starting price (including $925 for destination).
It strikes a few odd notes, but what it does best, it still does better than anything else out there in its price range.
