This is an amazing car. It runs, drives, and looks like new. It needs nothing. It is totally ready to go. Get in, drop the top, and drive. I bought this car a little over a year ago for my wife. She drove it 3 times. Too fast/powerful for her. I on the other hand, love driving it. It is fast, smooth, tight, and looks awesome.  It has a clean Carfax Report. There are NO check engine lights, warning lights, etc. Everything works as it should. I spent a lot of money making this car perfect for my wife. It doesn't need anything. I hate to sell it, but my job is moving me out of the country. 

Here are some details:

It has the SMG (Sequential Manual Gearbox). Can be driven in Automatic OR Manual. Also has the paddle shifters by the steering wheel. 

It has every option available to the M3 Convertible that year (except navigation). SMG Transmission, Dual power seats, Dual heated seats, Onboard Computer System, Steering Wheel Controls (Volume, Cruise, Channels), Harmon Kardon Stereo System, CD, Nappa Leather Trim, Sports/Premium Package, Xenon Headlights, Etc. 

Imola Red on Imola Red. Very rare color option. 

New Wind Screen ($650 I bought new from Newport Beach BMW). This is a MUST HAVE. It makes driving with the top down so much better! You can drive on the freeway at 85 MPH with the top down, music loud, and still have a conversation on the phone or with a passenger. 

Tires have less than 3000 miles on them. Bridgestone Potenzas. 

I also have a set of nearly new BMW FACTORY 19" M3 Chrome Wheels I will include. (worth around $2K). 

I had the windows tinted (DARK). Looks great and really keeps the heat out. 

I have the clean title in hand. 

I searched High and Low when I bought this car for my wife. It had to be red. It was by far the cleanest, nicest one I could find. It looks and drives like a new car. Many people ask what year it is because it looks so new. This car combines style and performance at it's best.

Jalopnik and Consumer Reports see who can pull off the best snow drift

Fri, Feb 20 2015

The weather throughout much of the United States is pretty awful at the moment with some combination of extremely low temperatures, inches of snow and maybe some ice underneath it all. The folks at Jalopnik and Consumer Reports are making the absolute best out of a difficult situation by heading to CR's snow-covered test track and attempting to make the longest drift in a quartet of very different performance vehicles. Jalopnik brought along a Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S Wagon, a Subaru WRX STI, a BMW 228i and a 1973 Volkswagen Baja Bug (heck yeah!) for the challenge. Also, the track was perfect for this group, with a mix of packed snow in places and still a few inches of unsullied powder in spots too. Ostensibly the goal was to get the tail to step out through a particular corner, but in reality this was more about having hilarious fun in the snow with fast cars. The result just looks like the best time humanly possible in this weather.

BMW and Mini shuffle NA management, McDowell to retire

Wed, 04 Dec 2013

BMW and Mini recently shuffled top personnel in their design departments, and now BMW of North America will reorganize its management to improve customer relations. Peter Miles (pictured), currently the executive vice president of operations, will take a newly created position, vice president of sales channel development and customer relations, while Jim McDowell, vice president of Mini of the Americas, will retire.
Chris Koenders, president of BMW Group Netherlands, will move take Miles' spot as executive vice president of operations. David Duncan, western region vice president, will take McDowell's job as vice president of Mini of the Americas. Finishing off the management switcharoo is Peter Witt, who will move from his current position as Managing Director of BMW Sweden to take Duncan's job as western region vice president.
"We are intensifying our customer-driven focus and these changes will influence the entire organization to continue improving all phases of the customer journey from prospect to purchase and throughout the ownership cycle," says Ludwig Willisch, president and CEO of BMW NA.

Chinese-made electric Mini threatened with highest EV tariff from EU

Sun, Jun 16 2024

BERLIN — The new all-electric Mini Cooper made in China is set to be hit by the highest EV tariff of 38.1% under the EU's provisional plans, a Reuters source familiar with the matter said on Friday, a potential terminal blow for the car's sales prospects. Mass production of the roughly 35,000-euro ($37,345) vehicle, produced by a joint venture of BMW and China's Great Wall Motor Co Ltd, began late last year - shortly after the EU launched its probe. With production still in early days, the joint venture was unable to fulfil the European Commission's survey to the level of detail required to be classed as a company cooperating with the investigation, the source said, declining to be named because discussions are private. Companies seen as cooperating with the EU were subject to lower tariffs of 17.4%-21%, according to a European Commission document seen by Reuters. That includes BMW Brilliance Automotive, another BMW joint venture that has produced the electric iX3 for export to Europe from China since 2021. BMW declined to comment. BMW CEO Oliver Zipse said earlier this week the tariffs were the "wrong way to go", echoing concerns from other German carmakers fearful of a trade war which could end in counter-tariffs on cars exported from Germany to China. The European Commission said that joint ventures producing cars in China would be subject to duties, without specifying whether more recently formed ventures might benefit from the lower 21% rate for companies that cooperated with the investigation. A 38.1% price hike on the Mini, which was to be exported from China to Europe, could dent sales at a time when the carmaker is counting on every projected all-electric sale to help meet tightening carbon emissions targets. The deadline for imposing provisional measures is July 4, after which the investigation will continue to late October. That leaves time for Beijing and Brussels to make a deal to soften the blow. Companies can also submit comments and request hearings after the provisional duties are applied.   Green Government/Legal Rumormill BMW MINI China
