The overall condition of this M3 is super nice inside and out! This car has been properly cared for and well maintained since it was new by a fellow BMW CCA club member. This car has always been serviced and was in fact a former BMW CPO car. Everything is up to date including the inspection II, the wheels and tires have been replaced, brakes and rotors have plenty of life on them, as they were recently replaced, and most importantly all the dealer recommended inspections have been completed on time when they were due. 

Please note that this is not your typical 01' E46 M3, I was in search of this car for over a year, my last E46 M3 was an SMG 04' with 50k, but  I really wanted to purchase a 6 spd manual. As i started searching I started running into the same issue over and over again of most of the cars were beat and abused, many were tracked and many owned by younger individuals, which made them rougher cars in general. The main thing that attracted me was that i was purchasing from someone i knew.

Most of these cars due to the age they have a very limited amount of information available in regards to how they have been taken care of and how it was driven. This car has always waxed, garage kept, never driven in chicago winters. 
I really don't want to part with the car but recently I had the opportunity to be able to purchase an EVO E30 M3 and I need to make room in my garage. 

Please note this car is in great condition but being a used car please have realistic expectations. Exterior condition I would rate a 9/10 only flaws are some some rock chips in the front bumper clear bra, always minor ding in front passenger fender, and very minor scratch on rear deck-lid, the front clear bra also shows wear due to its age but it has done phenomenal job of protecting the car. Tires id say they have plenty of tread left they were only put on a few months ago, rims are brand new as well, there are no rock chips on the hood, rear bumper is in excellent shape.  To my knowledge this car has absolutely no paint work. You must come see this car to really appreciate it.  Feel free to schedule a time to come by my office and check out the car, i'd love to show it to any serious buyers, please do any inspections, or test drives prior to purchasing the car.
 
This is a true enthusiast owned M3, I am part of BMW CCA, Bimmerforums, M3forums.net, and all the other clubs.

BMW X5 gets full battery of performance visuals

Wed, 12 Feb 2014

If you think BMW toned down its third-generation X5 CUV a little too much with its latest redesign, the new M Performance Parts line of optional parts may give you a chance to inject in a new sense of style.
The aesthetic parts include new carbon fiber pieces for the mirror caps, front splitter, rear diffuser and rear aero flaps. There's also a rear spoiler, high-gloss black kidney grilles, M Performance rocker panel decals and double-spoke 21-inch wheels with performance tires. The interior upgrades are similar with an available Alcantara steering wheel with carbon fiber trim, stainless steel pedals and carbon fiber gearshift trim.
Not all of the M Performance Parts are about style. The M Performance Power Kit sharpens throttle response and boosts power of the X5 xDrive35i to 320 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque, an improvement of 20 hp and 32 lb-ft, and an optional exhaust with chrome tips improves its sound. For buyers looking for improved stopping power, the M Performance Brake Kit adds six-piston calipers with 19-inch steel rotors.

GRAND-AM, IMSA announce deal to bring DTM racing to US

Fri, 29 Mar 2013

It won't be until 2015 at the earliest, but the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA), Grand-Am and the Internationale Tourenwagen-Rennen have agreed to a licensing and cooperation deal that could bring a version of Germany's DTM series to the US.
When the American Le Mans Series and Grand-Am are officially combined next year, the resulting body will be called United SportsCar Racing (USCR). IMSA will be the sanctioning body for that series, and DTM races could be run as support events. It was also suggested by an ALMS chief that DTM races could be standalone or join NASCAR and IndyCar weekends.
With the so-called DTM America finally agreed to, there is now a way for manufacturers to run the same DTM-type cars in Europe, the US and Japan - last year Japan's Super GT series agreed to adopt "the basic technical regulations" of DTM for the GT500 class, the top class in the series. That already puts six manufacturers in play: Mercedes-Benz, Audi and BMW that run in Germany's DTM and Honda, Nissan and Lexus that run in Super GT. The DTM oversight body has invited American brands to Germany for the opening round of the 2013 season, and will begin actively courting their participation in the US series. Check out the press release from Audi with comments on the deal below.

BMW M135i vs. Mercedes A45 AMG in Euro small-lux throwdown

Fri, 19 Jul 2013

BMW and Mercedes-Benz - please, please, please bring the M135i and A45 AMG hatchbacks to North America. For as long as we can remember, buyers in the New World have been forced to look longingly at Europe and Great Britain and the excellent super hatches that are so routinely offered there. And while we're quite content with the Ford Focus ST and Volkswagen GTI, having a 360-horse five-door with a premium, content-rich interior sounds quite nice.
Our envy for Europe has grown after watching the latest video from Drive, which stars Chris Harris, the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG and the BMW M135i. This latest battle between MB and BMW takes place on both road and track, with Harris providing a running commentary. If you're interested in the upcoming Mercedes CLA45 AMG, you should pay special attention to the section on the A45, as the two are essentially fraternal twins. While the video is a bit on the long side, it provides a comprehensive rundown of both cars, giving those of us in North America just a small taste of what we're missing.
