The interior is a 9.5 out of 10."

This is a 2001 BMW M ROADSTER. It is in excelent condition inside and out. It would be really hard to find one in better condition. The exterior is a 9.5 out of 10  and the interior is also a 9.5 out of 10. The paint on the car  is 9.7 out of 10. The rims are 9.9 out of 10. Tires only have a few a couple thousand miles on them. Bridgestone  RE01R. It has been well cared for. It has recieved oil changes every 1,000 miles(Castol 10/60)  and always garaged. It is a very rare car. BMW only made the (Z3 style/E36) M Roadster with the 315 horse power S54 engine for two years, 2001 and 2002. Before these years the M Roadster only had 240HP and was much slower. In fact the 2001 and 2002 M Roadsters were the fastest M Roadsters made. They were faster than the Z4 M Roadsters and even the newest twin turbo Z4's and only a few 10ths of a second slower than the ultra rare Z8. In 2001 October Motor Trend the M Roadster beat the Corvette in all acceleration tests and braking tests.  BMW only made four M Roadsters that were Classic white, with Imola Red interior Classic Red Top and the S54 315hp engine. This is the only 2001 M Roadster with this color combo in exsistance. If you look on Ebay you will see that the 2001 and 2002 M Roadsters are selling for over $20,000. This car is a tremendous bargain. I have original owners manual, tonnau cover(leather cover for top while down), and wind deflector that goes between roll bars. I did install H&R lowering spring, which give the car a more agressive look. The ride feels really close to factory but due to it being lowered it handles much better. I have the original springs also. It was involved in a very minor accident, but don't let that scare you.  I have a picture so you can see how minor the damage was. I also, have pictures of the car before the accident. So you can see how perfect it was before. The 9th picture is when I bought car. The 10th picture is what the car looked like after a nice elderly woman decided to hit the front corner of the car. Also, be careful alot of the vehicles that apppear to have never been into accidents, according to car fax, have. The owner just pays to fix it themself's so it is not reported by the insurance to Car Fax. This happened to me before when I flew thousands of miles to by a "accident free Porsche". When I got their the car had obvious signs of front damage repair. I am a honest person and try to describe the items I sell as accuratly as possible. The only issue with the car is that when the car get up to operating temperature the transmission take's extra effort to change gears. Its not bad if you are just driving around town,but if you take the car on the highway for a hour or so you will notice that the shifter gets even harder to engage. I had it inspected by a BMW certified mechanic. I was told it was the shift pins and the shift pin bushings. BMW was aware of this issue but only covered it for free if the issue started before the vehicle hit 50,000 miles or with in five years from date of purchase. I got an estimate for the parts from my local BMW dealership which was $156.85(I have copy). They told me the labor would be around $1,000 to remove the transmission and install the new shift pins. We all know the dealership is the most expensive place to get your vehicle repaired, so I am sure other BMW repair shops can do it for cheaper. Another option is to buy a used transmission off ebay which are around $600-800.  I was going to have the shift pins replaced because I know my transmission was well taken care of. So I figured I would replace the clutch while the transmission was out. Even though the car does not need a clutch at this time. I figured it would be good preventative maintenance and save me some money down the road. So I have a new Sachs clutch for the car also. I have adjusted the price of the car do to this fact that it needs these repairs. The only other issues are very minor. The driver door lock just turns when the key is installed, so I have been using the trunk key hole to unlock car(all doors open when using trunk key hole).One day when I was opening door it made a poping noise and just started spining. Their is no resistance when turning the drivers door lock so its probably just a clip fell off or something of that nature. I also have new EBC green stuff brake pads (front & rear)for the vehicle. The brakes are starting to pulsate slightly, but are not making any noise. The passenger plastic clip that holds seat belt to seat has a crack but is still functional. They are around $60  for a new one. The thin black trim peace around the back window is coming loose. It could easily be repaired by trim shop. It just started coming loose about two weeks ago. Everything else works properly. The only reason I'm not fixing the car myself is because I have some medical issues and I am no longer able to work full time. If you have any questions feel free to emial me. You will not be disapionted. This is a great deal. You won't find a M Roadster this nice for any were close to this price.  I reserve the right to end this listing at any time should the vehicle be no longer available do to local sale. Please ask questions before bidding.Serious inquiries only. If you don't have the money, please dont make a offer or buy now.

BMW M235i Racing takes to the track

Mon, 09 Dec 2013

Last month, BMW showed off a motorsports version of its new 2 Series Coupe called the M235i Racing. While that single image was obviously a rendering or design model, BMW Motorsports has now released a video showing the real deal being tested.
From what we can tell from beneath the camouflage, the wide-body fenders ­- to accommodate a 3.5-inch track stretch - are slightly different than the image BMW previously released. Still, the body is noticeably different from the stock coupe. The video, which is posted below, shows glimpses of the race-prepped interior, including a full FIA roll cage, but more importantly we get to hear the 333-horsepower engine and its throaty exhaust in action.

Recharge Wrap-up: BMW tests AdBlue pumps, Drivr is a Tesla taxi service

Thu, Jan 22 2015

BMW is testing AdBlue pumps in Germany. AdBlue fluid is used to remove NOx from diesel exhaust, and it is stored in its own tank within the vehicle. Filling AdBlue is easy enough for drivers to do it themselves, and with the proliferation of diesel vehicles in Europe, a pump filling system could make more sense than using the current hand-held containers. BMW is testing AdBlue pumps at three fueling stations in Munich and Berlin to help develop further AdBlue dispenser technology. Read more at Green Car Congress. Drivr Green Personal Transportation is a Tesla taxi service in Cincinnati. Two former employees of Tesla Motors founded the startup, which bills itself alongside ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft. Customers book a ride online, and are picked up by a Tesla Model S. The ride costs $2.50 per mile with a $15 minimum. Drivr currently operates three cars with seven drivers, with plans to lease another 10 Teslas and employ up to 30 drivers. The service will also be expanding to Denver soon, according to the website. Learn more at the Drivr website, or read more at Clean Technica. Ford is opening a research and development facility in Silicon Valley. The Ford Research & Innovation Center, which will be located less than three miles from Tesla Motors headquarters in Palo Alto, California, is expected to be one of the automotive industry's largest R&D facilities. "We're driving to be both a product and a mobility company, and ultimately to change the way the world moves," says Ford CEO Mark Fields. Read more at Automotive News. Law firms advising Fisker Automotive have been denied a $2.50-million fee enhancement in the car company's bankruptcy. Brown Rudnick LLP and Saul Ewing LLP were denied the extra fees, as a Delaware bankruptcy judge ruled there is "no evidence" that the firms provided anything more than what they originally expected. In denying the fee enhancement, the judge cited a "very high bar" for such awards. Read more at Law360.
