This auction is for a single owner, 2004 BMW M3 in excellent original condition!

It's black on black with the optional 19" wheels shod in Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires with plenty of tread left.

This car has always and only ever been serviced at BMW of Towson and strictly by the book. Every service ever called for was performed in sequence and on time including the very expensive valve adjustments and inspections. There were three recalls of which this model year were susceptible - all three were immediately performed, again at Towson BMW. The only service ever not performed at Towson BMW was the brand new OEM clutch assembly that was installed by Pikesville Automotive just two weeks ago! While out, the transmission and flywheel were inspected and found to be in proper operational condition. The SMG ECU transmission control module was reprogrammed following the installation and now the transmission shifts fast and flawlessly through all six gears! They also changed the oil with fully synthetic Castrol 10W60 and replaced the battery. All records are on file back to 2007 at Towson BMW. Apparently their system was purged of everything prior to that year. I can furnish those records as well.

The car does have 163,500 miles so I won't say it's in perfect condition but it is in great condition. The exterior has a couple small minor dings that any decent paintless dent repair guy could easily pop out. No major dents, scratches or scuffs. NO ACCIDENTS!! The wheels are in less than great condition but are perfectly functional - there is a bit of curb rash on each wheel, though no bends or dents. Otherwise, the exterior looks like the garage kept car it is - GREAT!

The interior is also in very good condition. The leather is excellent with no tears, scuffs or wear marks, front or rear. The carpet and headliner are also great. The only issue with the interior is the bit of paint crackling around the shift knob and window switches on the center console and steering wheel...this is strictly cosmetic and really doesn't look that bad at all. Otherwise, the interior is also in very good shape.

Mechanically the car needs nothing to my knowledge. It starts right up and drives the way it was designed to from the factory...like a champ! All the bells and whistle - window switches, sunroof, power and heated seats, door locks, Harmon Kardon stereo, etc - function properly.

The car is in all original condition except for the front corner and side lights which were replaced with the darker euro-style lights that look a lot better next to the factory Xenon lights.

Not much else to report at this point. I encourage any interested bidders to come see and test drive the vehicle but if you'd rather not and just bid, please do so with confidence. Trust me, the car is as described.

Cash payment is preferred, followed by check and then Paypal if necessary. Title is in hand and clear.

Feel free to call with any question.

Thanks,

JAS

Recharge Wrap-up: electric taxis in Montreal, Sebastien Buemi leads Formula E testing

Wed, Aug 12 2015

Sebastien Buemi leads the pack in the second session of Formula E pre-season testing. Buemi, driving for Renault e.dams, set a new lap record at Donington Park with a time of 1:31.050s. Buemi says that, with a little bit of work, he feels like he could shave off another second or more. "We could do quite a bit on the car and the car is a bit easier to drive, the stability is better, the brakes are better," he says. "I see some good potential, we just need to extract it from the car." Sam Bird was the second fastest during the testing session, followed by Daniel Abt. Read more in the press release below. A Montreal taxi company plans to create a fleet of 2,000 electric taxis by 2019. Taxi Hochelaga currently has the city's second largest fleet with 500 taxis currently in service. Owner Alexandre Taillefer believes this large fleet of green taxis will help the company compete with ride services like Uber and Lyft. "We want to be an alternative to the second car and even to the first," says Taillefer. "We will reduce traffic on the roads and pollution." The company's first electric cabs could be in service as early as November. Read more at Green Car Reports, or, if you speak French, at Le Journal de Montreal. DriveNow is open to franchising. The carsharing company, owned by BMW and rental company Sixt, will allow third parties to operate the DriveNow program in certain cities, according to a report. DriveNow is set to launch a fleet of 400 electric cars in Copenhagen, Denmark with the help of Arriva Plc. Read more from Automotive News Europe.

For the current quarter ending in October, Kandi Tech said it expects revenue in the range of $49 million to $51 million. Kandi Tech shares have dropped 45 percent since the beginning of the year.

BUEMI STAYS ON TOP IN SECOND TEST Renault e.dams driver heads field for consecutive days at Donington Park DONINGTON PARK, UK (August 11 2015): Sebastien Buemi broke the Formula E lap record at Donington Park as he once again set the fastest time in pre-season testing.

BMW profit of $2.7B is down as automaker invests to keep luxury lead

Fri, 02 Aug 2013

Despite selling 6.6-percent more vehicles - a record by volume - and posting higher revenues in the second quarter of 2013, BMW Group's profit of 2.07 million euros ($2.75 billion) is down 8.8 percent from last year. Investments in new technology (e.g. the new i3) and personnel, in addition to a competitive market, are to blame, BMW states. But the automaker remains committed to its fiscal targets for 2013, which, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG, Norbert Reithofer, says will be "on a similar scale to 2012."
The BMW brand's sales performance in the first half of the year, which increased by 7.7 percent to 804,258 vehicles delivered, was good enough for it to maintain its lead in the luxury market, narrowly beating Audi, which delivered 780,510 vehicles, Automotive News reports. Mercedes-Benz delivered 694,433 vehicles to cement third place.

The 570-hp AC Schnitzer ACL2 Concept tries to one-up the M2

Wed, Mar 2 2016

AC Schnitzer's new ACL2 concept aims to outdo the BMW M2 at the Geneva Motor Show. To out-muscle the latest M car, the German tuner starts with an M235i and installs the M4's 3.0-liter inline-six. The company also turns up the power to 570 horsepower – a healthy upgrade over 365 hp from the M2's 3.0-liter. The power bump lets the ACL2 reach 62 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and hit a top speed of 205 miles per hour, AC Schnitzer claims. Those figures make the coupe a few tenths quicker than the M2's 4.2-second to 60 mph sprint, but BMW limits its creation to 155 mph. AC Schnitzer's long list of upgrades makes the impressive performance possible. To get the most out of the engine, the company installs a carbon fiber intake. It also replaces the most of the exhaust, including the downpipe, catalytic converter and tailpipes. Carbon-ceramic brake discs make sure a driver can control so much power, and the company fits a fully adjustable suspension to aid handling. The ACL2's body is too loud for our tastes even through the subdued dark green paint, but the extensive use of carbon fiber parts should keep weight down. AC Schnitzer adds a road-scraping front splitter with canards at each corner. The rear has a similarly aggressive diffuser and huge wing. The wider fenders also add 5.5 inches to the coupe's width, and 20-inch wheels sit underneath them. The ACL2 doesn't get to challenge the M2 on the Autobahn yet because AC Schnitzer says it's just a concept. The coupe exists simply for the company's product development. However, if you want to put all of these bits together, the final cost would be 149,000 euros ($161,500 at current exchange rates), the tuner claims. Related Video:
