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's Quandt family in hot water over Merkel campaign contributions

Sun, 20 Oct 2013

The mysterious and elusive Quandt family is in hot water again, nearly two years after its Nazi connections during World War II were exposed. The German family's patriarch, Herbert Quandt, nearly single-handedly saved BMW from being bought out by Daimler-Benz in 1959. Now, three living family members own nearly half of the German brand, and stand accused of buying votes with donations to the party of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, mere days ahead of a European Union vote that would cap vehicle emissions.
Merkel's conservative Christian Democratic Union accepted three donations, one from each shareholding member of the Quandt family.
Merkel's conservative Christian Democratic Union accepted three donations, one from each shareholding member of the Quandt family, totaling 690,000 euros ($935,000), on October 9. The CDU, for what it's worth, claim the donations weren't related to any political decisions and that the family have been donors for years. A Quandt family spokesperson, meanwhile, said that the family had been waiting for Germany's September 22 elections to pass before making a large contribution to the CDU.

BMW reveals full details on M235i Racing

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

We were suitably excited when BMW first announced the imminent arrival of the M235i Racing. After all, what's not to like about a factory-prepared racecar with 333 horsepower you can pick up for just eighty grand? Now BMW has released the full details on the latest addition to its racing portfolio, where it joins the M3 DTM, M3 GT4, Z4 GTE/GT3 and 320 TC in a growing family of competition machinery prepared by BMW Motorsport.
Based on the new 2 Series coupe, the M235i Racing is the first M Performance model for the track, and boasts the line's most powerful engine: the 3.0-liter twin-turbo straight six has been optimized to 333 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. A mechanical limited-slip differential helps transfer the power to the track surface, along with race-tuned ABS, DSC and traction control.
Four-pot calipers up front and two-pot calipers in the rear shave off speed for the corner and are packed inside the 18-inch alloys, with KW dampers and H&R suspension components. Inside there's a six-point racing harness and Recaro bucket surrounded by an FIA-certified roll cage, and customers can even have an extra seat installed to take passengers for ride-alongs. All of which can be yours for €59,500.00 - equivalent to $82k at today's rates, before taxes.

Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
