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.

Here's why you don't want the 2016 BMW M4 Clubsport

Thu, Apr 7 2016

BMW Spain recently announced a special-edition M4 Competition Sport. It's billed as a more comfortable version of the M4 GTS (including rear seats) and, with only 60 copies available, will be more rare than that hardcore M4. But hold on a second because the CS is not exactly the unicorn it appears to be. And the closest thing to a CS in the United States might be better. Here's why. The M4 Competition Sport comes with more power, 20-inch wheels, and adaptive M chassis. The twin-turbo six has been turned up to 444 horsepower, which is shy of the crazy 493-hp water-injection version from the GTS. In fact, it's the same power you get with the $5,500 Competition Package that BMW USA announced back in January. And our Competition Package also comes with the wheels and M chassis setup. View 38 Photos We concede one area where the M4 CS does earn our envy. The giant carbon wing on the back and various other carbon-fiber elements do look pretty great, although tacking them on likely does not reduce the vehicle's weight. They're also all available from the vast M Performance catalog, so you could buy an M4 and tack on whichever ones you like best. Lucky Spanish customers also get carbon-ceramic brakes, but we can order those as a standalone option for $8,150. And the M4 CS only comes with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. Here in the States you can order all those goodies with a manual. Each of the 60 M4 Competition Sport coupes will sell for 132,900 euros in Spain, which works out to about a 45 percent markup compared to a standard-issue M4 coupe. So no, we don't get the numbered plaque on the center console or the neat seats. But we do get all the rest of it, with a manual, and at a much lower price than the Spanish M4 CS. And you can get the same stuff in the four-door M3. U-S-A! U-S-A! Related Video: Related Gallery 2016 BMW M4 GTS View 65 Photos BMW Coupe Performance bmw m4 bmw m4 gts

2015 BMW X6 M First Drive [w/video]

Wed, Feb 4 2015

Please forgive my bluntness, and allow me to cut to the heart of the X6-dissenter argument right at the top. Yes, BMW will sell you a 2015 BMW X5 M that is the motive twin (I assume) of the X6 M you're here to read about, that is also cheaper, roomier, and more conventional in appearance. For many of you – especially the old guard that hears the descriptor "Sports Activity Coupe" and proceeds to unlock the gun cabinet – that's all you need to hear. Because, although the fickle community that consumes and comments on internet car culture seems to be fine with typical-looking SUVs and wagons packing performance-enhancing goodies, the idea of slanting the back of one turns them right off. And yet, BMW continues to sell the things; more than 250,000 units have be delivered in the X6 series' history. As if that weren't proof of concept enough, blood-rival Mercedes-Benz has unleashed the GLE, a coupe-like crossover of its own, complete with AMG pedigree. All of this brought me to Austin, TX, home of Hill Country, The Circuit of the Americas and the 2015 X6 M launch. On both road and track I found a car that was more powerful and blithely capable than ever, while also being exactly as weird to drive as it is a concept to comprehend. Given that the X5 M exists, and offers styling that is more like normal for the SUV genre, both the lovers and the haters of the X6 M are likely to be focused on the way it looks. Here, the 2015 model isn't very much changed from the original, meaning you aren't liable to change sides on the styling debate for this refresh. The '15 model has a slightly fewer black accents on the exterior, along with revised front and rear fasciae and vented (and chromed) front fender gills. The car is almost two inches longer than the existing model, but is near enough the same size in every other direction that you'd have to study the specification sheet to know different. Inside the X6 M that I tested was a beautiful, fully optioned cabin that boasted gripping sport seats and BMW's wide, easy-to-read infotainment screen. The leather-wrapped everything and carbon-fiber trim were both well executed, and my hands rejoiced at the feeling of the thick-rimmed, serious-looking steering wheel. Veterans of the current M5 or M6 will see a lot that looks familiar here, but to my eyes that's high praise. The most impactful changes aren't visual but visceral.

Nissan and BMW want the UK to stay in the EU

Wed, Mar 9 2016

Nissan and BMW are saying that the Brexit shouldn't become reality. It's a mixture of hope and threat because their planned investments in the UK risk to be damaged by the referendum's result. While those brands are still saying that every decision from the UK's people will be respected, you can sense a fear that every plan is going to be messed up. The problem is simple according to Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn: "For us, a position of stability is more positive than a collection of unknowns. It makes the most sense for jobs, trade and costs." For sure Nissan is not going to shut its plant in northeast England if the country exits the Union, but this could change plans for the future, as the so-called Brexit could cause an increase on costs and above all on competition. Nissan employs 8,000 people in the UK across its manufacturing, engineering, and design facilities, and a further 32,000 indirectly through dealerships and its supply chain. All these people produce almost half a million cars and 80 percent of those are exported, so just imagine how taxes could affect prices and sales. If the EU's borders get smaller, Nissan will face some problems with customs duties the foreign products struggle with, as other Japanese automakers have so far, while importing their cars into the Union. Nissan is not the only maker interested in the outcome of the referendum to be held June 23; BMW is of the same mood, hoping Brexit won't become reality. The Germans already warn Mini and Rolls-Royce employees that the exit of UK from the Union could cause problems with increasing costs and higher prices due to tariff barriers. BMW CEO Harald Krueger at the Geneva auto show said "a UK vote to exit the European Union would cloud the future of the automaker's UK brands, which include Mini, along with Rolls-Royce". What's happening in this case is not only an English issue. In fact, although every decision taken by the UK's people must be respected, the automakers are right when saying they hope it is not going to happen, as you hope no one changes the cards during the game.
