Performed. Always Garage Kept. Non Smoker Owned. Exterior Paint is excellent. 03.5 BMW M3's are highly sought after
due to the extended trunk handle and LED Tail Lights.
This is a turn key E46 M3. I have been collecting cars for years and it is tough to find another one as clean and
perfect as this one. I have service records, books, brochures, and (2) keys. You will be hard pressed to find
another E46 M3 as clean and immaculate as this one. This car looks and drives as good as it did when it rolled off
the assembly line, if not better. I would rate the Interior a 9.5/10 the seats are in excellent condition, the
bolsters do not have any wear on them, all functions work and operate on the M seats as they should. This car also
has the adjustable seat width lumbar. I've owned over 32 E46 M3's and this is the second one I have owned that had
this feature. The Front dash is very clean no cracks, the Rear seats have never been sat in, and Rear deck-lid has
no sun damage. The Exterior of the car is a solid 9.5/10 the front bumper grill has minor stone marks from driving,
the rear rockers near the wheels have minor stone marks from driving. Front bumper has not been drilled for license
plate, the lip spoiler on the back is all factory and original. The paint is smooth and looks excellent under the
sun, freshly buffed and always waxed with Zymol. The color looks very vibrant and sharp with the 19" Polished M
wheels. The wheels are curb and rash free, tires & brakes have only 3K miles on them.
Under the hood the car features the revolutionary S54 Power Plant (3.2L 333HP). These engines have been noted to be
one of the best M engines produced by BMW M GmbH. The E46 M3 in the early 2000's was known to be the car out
performing every car in its class and is one of the most recognized M cars in the market place today. Whether you
are buying this for yourself or your son/daughter, this M3 is a true gem. This car is all original and stock, it
has never been modified. Tasteful improvements have been made to the sound system by Alpine, which have been
professionally and tastefully installed maintaining full use of trunk without adding excess weight. Combined with
Touch Screen Digital Display and 60GB I-pod. Recent Oil Service has been performed at BMW using Castrol GTX 10W60.
New set of floor Mats have been installed for the next owner. All Fluids have been flushed and refilled.
No expense has been spared to properly store, maintain and address all preventative maintenance on this M3. I do
not need to sell this car and would prefer to keep it, but if this M3 goes to the right home I will be happy. This
is a true collectable as these cars age it is very difficult to find another one with such exceptional service
history, records, and condition. Age, mileage and condition is the largest contributing factor to this car along
with all original keys, window sticker, books, and records, which are included with this sale.

BMW NA president says i3 beats Tesla EVs thanks to lighter all-around footprint

Wed, Jan 29 2014

Those waiting for a full-out brawl between Tesla Motors head Elon Musk and BMW North America chief Ludwig Willisch will have to wait a bit. For the bloodthirsty, there are signs of some healthy competition and a little bit of green-car sniping between the two automakers. Willisch, speaking at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month and responding to questions about Tesla, noted (without mentioning that company by name) that the production process of the German automaker's i3 plug-in was "greener" than any other. According to Business Insider, Willisch highlighted the fully recyclable materials used to construct the i3 as well as the hydropower used at the carbon fiber plant in Moses Lake, WA. Willisch also noted that the Tesla Model S is "very heavy on the braking. Our car feels just like a normal car. That's a big difference when it comes to driving," Automotive News said in a separate report. The latter model weighs about a third less than the Tesla, though it also has an EV range about a third as big. The BMW executive did allow that the Tesla did make a good proverbial "snowplow," not for its driving characteristics but for its ability to get more people conformable with electric vehicle technology. Musk was asked about the i3 in an August conference call and laughed before noting that the i3 had "room to improve." No word on whether Musk and Willisch will be sending each other Valentine's Day cards next month.

2015 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe might be a better 3 Series sedan

Sat, 01 Feb 2014

At BMW, there really is something for everyone these days. Just take a look at the massive 3 Series/4 Series range - you can have a sedan, coupe, convertible, wagon, or funky-backed Gran Turismo. And now, with the introduction of the 2015 4 Series Gran Coupe, you can have another seda... err, hatchback, actually. But perhaps, a better one.
Compared to the 3 Series sedan, the 4 Series Gran Coupe is both longer and wider by about half an inch, but is shorter in overall height by an inch and a half. Honestly, to our eyes, it looks a little better than the 3 Series, too, what with its longer roofline, more sculpted rear haunches and lower stance. Full interior volume specs for the 4GC aren't available as of this writing, but we expect them to be roughly the same as the 3 Series, perhaps with a small decrease in headroom and rear legroom. Trunk space, at 17 cubic feet, matches the 3 Series sedan, and because the 4GC actually uses a hatchback design, it should be easier to access.
Powertrains are completely carryover from the rest of the 3/4 Series range. The 428i uses BMW's well-liked 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four with 240 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque, and the 435i is fitted with the company's 3.0-liter turbo-six, good for 300 hp and 300 lb-ft. An eight-speed automatic is the only transmission available in the US with either model and rear-wheel drive is standard. Only the 428i can be had with BMW's xDrive all-wheel-drive system, and interestingly, the 428i Gran Coupe is actually expected to be more fuel-efficient than its 3 Series sedan counterpart. The GC is estimated to return 23/35 miles per gallon city/highway, compared to the 23/33 mpg in the 328i sedan. The 435i Gran Coupe should achieve the same 22/32 mpg ratings as the 335i sedan.

MW's new Driftmob video shows the M235i like you've never seen it before

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

Last month, we went behind the scenes of the filming of BMW's new Driftmob, web video, bringing you one post from the practice sessions, and another from the shoot itself, which took place in an enormous traffic circle in Cape Town, South Africa. Today, BMW has launched the final version of Driftmob, and it's pretty damn cool.
The plot is pretty simple: just like a flashmob, in which people invade a location and perform choreographed dances to music, much to the delight of surprised onlookers, the "driftmob" features a quintet of red M235i coupes that take over a traffic circle and perform choreographed dances - sideways - to the delight of onlookers. The only differences are that, in this case, the onlookers are mostly paid extras (though there were many unwitting passersby that joined the crowd at times) and the only music is a constant squealing of tires-a sweet song if we ever heard one. Then, after about two minutes of tire-smoking shenanigans, the coupes vanish.
As promised, we will have a more detailed, behind the scenes story about the filming of the video, including insights from Rhys Millen, Samuel Hübinette, Dai Yoshihara, Rich Rutherford, and Conrad Grunewald, the five guys who executed these remarkable stunts. Meanwhile, we hope you enjoy the short flick.
