Up for sale: 2003.5 BMW E46 M3 
I have taken immaculate care of this car as it has been garage kept and babied since I bought it. I am having to sell now only due to my expanding family and the need for a 3rd row vehicle.
Sad to let her go. 

Clear title - Title in hand
no accidents 


Titanium Silver Metallic (354) Tiag With Red and brushed aluminum trim
SMG II Transmission 6 speed 
Winter package
S54b32 inline 6

Well taken care of at 129,500 this M3 has several tasteful upgrades while leaving the motor completely untouched, which to me is a huge plus with a performance vehicle. 

 Pros 
 (upgrades)
- PSS10 fully adjustable coil over kit (professionally installed)
               (Bilstein's PSS10 coil over system combines adjustable monotube shock damper technology with front and rear height adjustments to give you everything you need in one package. The E46 PSS10 kit is one of the most impressive suspensions on the market for performance and quality. Bilstein has engineered this kit to be functional         and specific to the E46 M3 chassis and not overloaded with features and bullet points that you'll never use. With the PSS10 you get 10 damper settings with meaningful differences between clicks, ride height adjustment, TUV certified quality and performance, a limited lifetime warranty, and easy fitment with stock mounts and links. This kit is designed to lower the car between 1.0" and 1.75" from the original stock, non-sport package suspension.-(Turner motorsports))

- Vorsteiner  V-CSL Boot Lid (painted to match professionally)
               (Vorsteiner’s Carbon Fiber Honeycomb Matrix (CFHM) structure gives our parts superior stiffness, strength & durability
compared to traditional hand laid carbon fiber and fiberglass materials. Double Sided Carbon Fiber (carbon fiber honey comb matrix)- (Vorsteiner))

- CSL replica wheels (all "rear" wheels for a squared set up for better tire rotating options) plus is looks cool :D (professionally painted) 
   and spaced for an aggressive stance

- All four Bridgestone Potenzas have less than 3000 miles 

- Black exterior trim 

Maintenance 

1 coil pack went out on me a while back so I had all six replaced just in case (professionally)
Inspection 1+2 both completed (professionally) 
Changed oil every 5k miles
only used shell supreme gasoline
both wiper blades were replaced this month 
all four new tires Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 in rear RE-050 pole positions in front
brand new MANN air filter 


Cons
The previous owner (whom I still keep in touch with) and I daily drove this vehicle for almost 130,000 miles so there are some normal wear and tear problems with the car (I would be weary of any +100k BMW M3 that is in "Perfect shape")
- The interior felt material on the a,b and c pillars is coming off or wrinkling up and the felt trim is separating in some areas (this is a common problem for the E46 M3) 
- The drivers side seat stitching is has separated where the butt goes (I am 160lbs so this must be common as well) disappointing that this happened last week and made me feel fat :(
- In the last month the car has developed a slight hesitation, I took it to the local shop and the mechanic informed me that it is most likely an injector wearing out and that its normal for them to do that at this milage 
- The adjustable gear in the manual climate control vent has worn out and takes some fiddling with to get the air the perfect temp (again just on the manual controls not the electric) cheap and easy fix I'm sure but i just got lazy and never did (I live in Louisiana its always hot)

BMW expounds on i8 design and performance in new videos

Fri, 03 Jan 2014

At this point, there isn't much we don't know about the 2015 BMW i8, so BMW is starting to focus its attention on reassuring consumers that the future of BMW won't abandon the past. In these two recently released videos, BMW answers questions prospective buyers might have about about the new model's design and performance.
In the design video, BMW explains how the i8's styling is intended to be practical, with aerodynamics and fuel efficiency in mind, yet still have a sporty and dynamic look. The performance video aims to show that the plug-in hybrid can be fuel efficient while still delivering plenty of performance, and it shows an animation about how the i8's drive systems work together. Scroll down to watch both videos on this bold green supercar.

BMW M4 vs. Lexus RC F in Head 2 Head sports coupe showdown

Wed, 29 Oct 2014

It's the showdown everyone's been looking forward to, the East versus West grudge match of the year. We're talking, of course, about the BMW M4 versus the Lexus RC F.
Although BMW uses a twin-turbo straight-six and the Lexus uses a free-breathing V8, the two are pretty closely matched on paper: a luxury coupe with over 400 horsepower channeled to the rear wheels.
The BMW has been doing these cars for longer, and the M4 boasts a higher power-to-weight ratio. But then the RC F has more power - and without forced induction to break up the rev range. So which is the better luxury muscle coupe? Watch the latest episode of Motor Trend Head 2 Head to find out.

2015 BMW X6 stays the course with more power, RWD model

Thu, 05 Jun 2014

What would this world be without the BMW X6? Oh, sure, the whole coupe-crossover design trend surely would have started somewhere, but BMW was the first, launching its odd duck back in 2008. Much as we like to harp on the X6 (for being less functional and more expensive than the X5 on which it's based), people around the world sure do seem to like the thing, BMW having sold some 250,000 examples since the CUV's birth. And as you first saw thanks to leaked images this morning, the second-generation X6 has just arrived.
The shape is familiar, as are specific styling elements like the larger headlamps (now available with a full-LED treatment) and taillamps, mimicking those found on the X5. Two trims are available - xLine and M Sport - the former taking a more subdued approach, while the latter uses the traditionally bulgy and aggressive M-badged kit, with larger air intakes and matte aluminum grille bars. All X6s come standard with 19-inch wheels, and 20s are optional.
Regardless of trim, BMW will now offer the X6 in three guises here in the United States: sDrive35i, xDrive35i and xDrive50i. Dissecting the nomenclature, that means the first two models will be powered by BMW's 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six, good for 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque. The sDrive X6 uses rear-wheel drive, while the xDrive, of course, uses all-wheel drive. Moving up, the xDrive50i uses the same twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 as its predecessor, though power has been increased to 450 hp and 480 lb-ft. All X6 models are fitted with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and BMW says that the new powertrains are more efficient than before, though official fuel economy numbers have not yet been released.
