Up for bids is a pretty rare color combo, I have been told for M3 Convertibles; bought it from a guy that was strapped for cash; this was his baby and after looking at all the high def pics that I have put up for your viewing it appears that it very well was. As far as service, I know that he had most all of his work done at BMW in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, Orr BMW in Shreveport, LA or at Hixon BMW in Monroe, La. (pics of some of the serviced tickets provided.), LA. When I took possession of this car it was in need of some maintenance issues and I have taken care of all of them. The oil change was done with that expensive Castrol 10-90 and there is about 13k left before it will need it again; the tires on the rear of these cars, I am told, wear out first and I have put new Bridgestone Potenzas on the back; the front ones are Yokahama and the dealer said that they had about 5k more left before replacement; (he said about Christmas time.) The brakes were in need of replacement and I have replaced the front pads and rotors; the rear pads were replaced last year and had well over 3/4 life left in them; the rear rotors, which function as only assistance with braking were inspected by the mechanic and are in very good shape. On the history of this vehicle, he bought it at 31k and drove it the balance of the 69k. 80% of the miles are road miles on I-20 and I-10; I knew that this car was pristine when I bought it due to his attention to maintaining it, caring for the finish and treating the leather. (he said that he used Surf City Garage leather conditioner every 2-3 weeks.). This vehicle may have a warranty in place due to a recall situation thru BMW; that is something that I have been informed of but have no time to research. As far as I am concerned it is sold as is by me. I have not driven this vehicle extensively but I cannot tell you how well that this car handles and performs. It will set you back in the seat on acceleration and stop on a dime and hand you 9 cents back in change. The ride is not smooth but I was told that this is the norm for these vehicles. It is a 6-speed car and not that SMG type that has been giving all the trouble that I have read about. It shifts perfectly and seamlessly and the clutch engages well; a testament to highway driving I guess. There are no service or warning lights on the dash and it has fewer than average front facia road debris chips. The paint, as you can see is a very high gloss finish and it has a set of high end Lorenzo rims that he had a custom paint job done to match the car. This car is a real performer and head turner. I have taken a pic of the new brakes before and after install but none of the rear ones. In the way of add-ons, there are BMW M style pedals installed on the brake, clutch and footrest he put in new BMW M3 floormats and it does have a BMW trunk mat and there are BMW rubber mats with the car for the front only;. It has a high end Alpine stereo along with a Sirrius receiver that has been inactivated; there is an I-Pod cable in the glove box and he had MB Quart speakers put in the doors; I am not a stereo guy but they sound awesome. I may be able to get my hands on the factory one but am unsure if it is in working order; I understand that the Alpine unit is head and shoulders above the BMW one. All interior accessories are in working order and the interior is beautiful with no wear spots or stains; there is some wear on the bolster where you get in and out but I am told this is normal; I did try the sport button,and it turns this car into a rocket; I just can't describe it and you would have to drive it to appreciate it. It comes with a full set of BMW trunk tools, and extra key but I could not locate the service manuals. They are available on E-Bay for about 60.00 if you want them. If you want a well serviced rocket to drive that will turn heads at every corner, this is it; I have a friend of mine that checked the wholesale auction scene on these cars and they are going under the hammer for 13 to 14k wholesale. All I can tell you is bid according to the condition and the info I have provided you. Ask questions if genuinely interested; I am on the road a lot and will try to answer them as best as I can or attempt to find out from the previous owner. Thanks for looking and let the bidding start.

BMW 3 Series GT gets nip and tuck
Wed, Nov 4 2015We brought you spy photos of the refreshed BMW 3 Series sedan, and now the versatile, hunchbacked Gran Turismo has been caught on camera. As far as refreshed Bimmers go, the treatment for the 3GT is pretty typical. That means a new front bumper and headlights, which we doubt have been changed all that much from the freshened four-door. Changes in back differ thanks to the GT's unique rear end, but the new features – new LED designs in the taillights – will be there. It also looks like BMW has tweaked the rear bumper. Like the sedan, the 3GT will get a few interior tweaks and an iDrive update. Basically, everything we showed you back in May when the updated sedan debuted should find its way onto the 3GT. What we don't know – and what our spies can't tell us – is whether BMW will add GT versions of the 3er's newest models, the 340i and 330e plug-in. We'd expect the 340i to replace the range-topping 335i Gran Turismo, just like it has on the sedan – although a hunchbacked, plug-in hybrid hatchback might just be a bit too niche, even for a brand like BMW. Check out the short gallery of spy photos, available up top.

Protonic Red BMW i8 will bow in Geneva
Fri, Feb 12 2016BMW will unveil special edition versions of the i8 at the Geneva Motor Show, but we hope the rest of the company's offerings are more exciting than its first one – the new Protonic Red Edition. BMW bathes this limited edition i8 in the eponymous red and paints some the trim Frozen Grey metallic. The company finishes off the exterior improvements with 20-inch W-spoke wheels that it decorates Orbit Grey metallic with Aluminum matte hubs. The interior upgrades amount to red double-stitching around the cabin and the addition of some carbon fiber and ceramic trim. There are no mechanical changes. It's hard to get too excited about special paint and trim, but if you are in the market for a more colorful i8, then the Protonic Red Edition seems like a good opportunity. Production begins in Leipzig in July. Related Video: Comfortably exceeding expectations: BMW i8 is the world's highest-selling hybrid sports car. Exclusive BMW i8 special editions. Protonic Red Edition gets the ball rolling at the Geneva Motor Show. Munich. Last year, global sales of the BMW i8 exceeded the combined figure of all other hybrid sports cars produced by other manufacturers*; 5,456 units of the i8, which is powered by the combination of a three-cylinder turbocharged engine and an electric drive system, were sold worldwide in 2015. The car's innovative plug-in hybrid technology delivers system output of 266 kW/362 hp (fuel consumption combined: 2.1 l/100 km [134.5 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 49 g/km)**. "The success of the BMW i8 speaks for itself," said Ian Robertson, BMW AG Board Member for Sales and Marketing. "It is already the world's most successful hybrid sports car and has comfortably exceeded our own expectations. I can think of no better illustration of the relevance of our young BMW i brand." And the BMW i8 is about to add further lustre to its appeal with exclusive special-edition models poised to be unveiled for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show. The new arrivals present customers with even more ways to own a very individual car. BMW i8 Protonic Red Edition will be built in Leipzig from July. The first in this line of special-edition models is the BMW i8 Protonic Red Edition. Like those set to follow in its tyre tracks, it is only available for a limited period.
Vorsteiner BMW M4 GTRS4 shows how to do a widebody at SEMA
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Part of the joy of the SEMA Show is that all of the best tuners in the world are competing to show off their wares, and the challenge often pushes the companies into some absolutely insane directions. Case in point: Vorsteiner and its ludicrous GTRS4 wide body kit with the BMW M4.
According to Auto Evolution, the kit reportedly adds 4 inches in the front to fit 10.5-inch-wide wheels and a massive 7-inches more in the rear to snug in 13.5-inch-wide wheels, but spinning around the BMW in these images makes the changes look even more extreme. Beyond just the extra room in the fenders, the lower air intakes are ready to suck in huge volumes of cool air, and there's a front splitter to keep things planted. The front and rear extensions are joined by side sills that grow the farther back they go. Finally, at the rear, the M4 gets a reworked diffuser with mesh inserts.
This is just the type of automotive craziness that makes SEMA interesting. Take a lot at it for yourself in the gallery.
