2004 Bmw M3 Base Convertible 70k Miles, Excellent Condition on 2040-cars
Sausalito, California, United States
|
2004 M3 convertible, 70,8xx miles. 6 speed manual. Impeccably maintained, recent inspection II
with valve adjustment. Oil change within
500 miles. Runs flawlessly. Silver/black leather. Top is in perfect condition, and factory windscreen is included. Heated and power seats, leather is in great
condition with expected wear on driver’s bolster, steering wheel. Non smoker car, garage kept at all times. New brakes at 65k, brand new rear tires, front tires
80%. I recently had polyurethane
trailing arm bushings installed as the stock rubber bushings were causing
premature tire wear on the rear tires.
The poly bushings don’t squeak. Two
tasteful mods: Borla stainless midpipe and Rogue Engineering El Diablo stainless
muffler (no more rasp, deeper tone but not louder than stock), and an AFE cold
air intake. I have the stock exhaust and
airbox and will absolutely include in the sale.
The El Diablo muffler sounds great and looks even better with larger
polished exhaust tips. Top of the line
Alpine CDA-117 with Bluetooth integrated phone, iphone/ipod and trunk is prewired for a
subwoofer (RCA and line). Stock stereo
included as well. Paint is near flawless with the exception of a surface
scratch on the passenger door. Very
subtle. A few years back an empty coffee
can flew out of a pickup truck on the freeway and hit the left fog light and
part of the hood. I had the repair done
at Anthony’s Auto Craft in San Rafael, CA, which is the authorized repair shop
for Ferrari, Mercedes and BMW. Autocheck
reports the car was in an accident “left front corner” but this doesn’t report
the full picture. The car was not in a
collision; road debris caused the need for a cosmetic repair and the paintwork
was done at the best possible shop. I
stress ‘cosmetic’ because there was no body work needed, just repaint (hood and
bumper) and replace the foglight. I have
the invoice from Anthony’s for your review.
I hate to sell the M3 but my wife doesn’t drive manual shift. I bought this car in 2010 from a private
party with 36k miles and it had the factory warranty at that time. I can’t stress enough that this car has been
maintained very well; all service, oil changes and needed maintenance has been
performed at timely intervals. This M3 road
warrior is setup perfectly and will make the next owner very happy. |

BMW won't build M4 Gran Coupe
Fri, 04 Jul 2014Over the last few years, it feels like BMW has looked at its lineup and decided to offer a vehicle in every possible segment that it can find, no matter how small. The company is finally showing some restraint, though, at least when it comes to the high performance M division. For example, don't expect to see an M4 Gran Coupe at your local BMW dealer in the future.
M GmbH sales chief Jörg Bartels told Cars Guide in Australia, "It was definitely considered, but there is no plan to build an M4 Gran Coupe." The sport sedan just wouldn't make financial sense, he said. BMW already builds the M3 and M4 at separate factories, adding a third for such a niche model would be too much. Plus, the M3 already fills out the segment.
If you wanted an M model with a bit more storage space in the back, Bartels dashed those dreams, as well. He said that there isn't an M3 Gran Turismo hatchback in the pipeline, either.
BMW-Toyota sports car heading towards Tokyo debut
Mon, 20 May 2013Earlier this year, BMW and Toyota confirmed a four-part joint venture mostly focusing on increasing improving vehicle efficiency using fuel cells, lightweight materials and better battery technology. Also tucked into the announcement was a "feasibility study" for a shared platform to underpin a future midsize "sports vehicle."
In terms of the latter, it seems that things have stepped up from the feasibility stage to the conceptual stage, as Motor Trend reports we could see a pair of new sports car concepts debut later this year in at the Tokyo Motor Show. There isn't much information about the new program, but the article suggests the sports cars could be all-wheel drive hybrids, with electric motors powering the front wheels and a gas engine powering the rear wheels. While a partnership between Toyota and BMW might not lend itself to a catchy portmanteau like "Toyobaru," here's hoping it will bear fruit that is as exciting as the ones produced by the Toyota/Subaru tie up.
Audi S3 pitted against BMW M135i in track battle
Fri, 07 Mar 2014Audi and BMW have long been enemies on both the road and the track, with their respective M and S/RS lines duking it out to the delight of auto enthusiasts everywhere. In this video from Evo, two of the rivalry's newest combatants take to the track - the Audi S3 and the BMW M135i.
The new Audi S3, which is finally coming to America, throws down with a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder. 290 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque are deployed to a Quattro all-wheel-drive system via a six-speed, S-Tronic dual-clutch transmission, allowing the five-door Audi to scamper to 60 in under five seconds.
The BMW, which Americans will know as a long-roof version of the new M235i Coupe, comes to the track with 320 ponies and 331 lb-ft of torque. That's a good bit more than the Audi, but the M135i has only two wheels to send its power to, an eight-speed single-clutch automatic (a six-speed manual is available) and a slightly higher curb weight.
