VIN WBSBR93403PK03671 93/100 Autocheck/Pristine Carfax upon purchase. Purchased 07/13 at 66.5k, selling 01/14 as I’m moving back up to MI and it isn’t fit as a DD in the cold north. Third owner. Maintained to a tee as per Mike Miller’s Old
School BMW Maintenance Suggestions. Never smoked in. Never tracked. Interior is pristine for the mostpart, minus a small thread tear in the driver's seat side bolster. Zero subframe issues with me or any previous owners. Typical, as the convertible contains extra reinforcement all around. Rod bearing recall performed by first owner. Inspection I/II completed at
67k, even though the PO stated Inspection II was done on time before 60k. TWS Changes every 5k actual miles throughout the vehicle's history. Recent maintenance history: Spark plugs, cabin air filter, intake filter, wiper inserts, engine oil change, both serpentine belts, differential oil, transmission oil, brake fluid, clutch delay valve deleted, convertible top locks replaced after fault with driver side, rear shock mounts replaced/upgraded, front control arm bushings replaced, rear trailing arm bushings replaced/upgraded, thermostat and o-rings replaced along the cooling system. 4 wheel alignment performed by Collin at Soulspeed. Highly recommended. Upgrade/mod history: Nothing major. E60 545i shift lever upgrade, acts as short-shifter inside the E46. Feels great, nothing like the pick-up truck sloppiness that comes from the factory. Upgraded “fat boy” clutch stop. RSM/RTABs are urethane. No NVH increase, and the rear end is planted and safeguarded from future failures. Minor aesthetic mods – matte black hood grilles/side gills and upgraded embossed hood roundel. Full paint correction performed, and the CBM is in great shape minus a couple hood dings. Upcoming maintenance needed: Rear tires are @ 40% tread. Fronts 80%. Suspension performs well and doesn’t need to be replaced for another 15-20k. Nothing needs to be done right now. Minor infamous rattle @ 1.9k rpms, suspected to be exhaust gaskets between section one and two. Not VANOS related.
All in all, this E46 is prime. Fully automatic top in excellent condition. The carbon black metallic + cinnamon two-tone interior is very desired, especially around the ATX/UT crowd. Gets compliments and thumbs up from enthusiasts everywhere. No-fuss 6 speed manual, always taken care of and maintained over and above BMW recommendations. Not my first Bimmer. Harmon Kardon premium factory upgrade sounds great with the top up or down, and the heated seats make year-round topless fun very enjoyable. Bought an OE wind deflector ($550) that I’m throwing in, as well. The car drives beautifully, and it crushes me to have to let her go. Haven’t spent much time behind the wheel, but I simply cannot keep it when I’m going to be relocating back up to Michigan in the next month. Any questions/concerns? Let me know. No joyrides without verifiable funds in hand. Looking for an owner who will take care of the vehicle. |

Formula Drift kicks off 11th season on Streets of Long Beach
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The 2014 Formula Drift series kicked off last weekend in Long Beach, and saw Chris Forsberg, who you'll recall went mad and drifted around a warehouse in an Infiniti M, take the title behind the wheel of his Hankook Tire Nissan 370Z (shown above).
Forsberg really ran away with the first round of competition, outscoring his closest opponent, second-place finisher Kenneth Moen and his Bridges Racing Nissan 240SX, by 20 points. Third place was 2013 championship winner Michael Essa and his Yokohama BMW M3, 30.5 points behind Forsberg.
In the manufacturers' title, Nissan took an early lead with 122 points, which isn't a huge surprise considering five of the top ten drifters were piloting either a Z or a product of the brand's S platform. Ford, which had two drivers (Justin Pawlak and Vaughn Gittin, Jr.) in the top ten, took home second place, while BMW is currently third in the manufacturers' standings.
Recharge Wrap-up: BMW's 2015 awards, Tesla Superchargers in Poland
Wed, Dec 30 2015Poland will soon get its first Tesla Superchargers. A photo on Reddit appears to show multiple parking stalls with Superchargers under wraps at an Orlen fuel station. Tesla recently signed a deal with the German branch of Polish oil refiner Orlen to install Superchargers at fuel stations in Germany, and it appears the focus is shifting eastward to Poland. Some question whether it makes sense for Tesla to focus on Poland, where the cities have a lot of high-rise dwellings and few private garages. Tesla, however, is known for taking risks on building infrastructure as an investment in future customers. Read more from Teslarati. Is it really true that most pedestrian crashes are the pedestrian's fault? Baltimore County and other authorities claim this is the case, but upon examination, this appears to be because roadways aren't always designed with the entire community in mind. In some cases, for instance, large, multi-lane roads travel through neighborhoods where more residents travel by foot out of necessity. "The really tragic part about it is that the two areas where we've had the most pedestrian fatalities, these are disinvested, depopulated areas," says Dallas City Councilman Philip Kingston. "Those big arterials are completely unnecessary. It's so overbuilt. The infrastructure is built for a bygone era that simply doesn't match what's there now." Read more at Treehugger.
