Highly Modified 2008 BMW M3 Convertible


Up for sale is my much loved 2008 E93 M3 convertible.  It has approximately 48k miles on it.  Circumstances force me to part with it.  I bought this car in 2012 as a CPO, and the CPO warranty expires on 1/31/2015.  It has been babied since then and tastefully modded.  It has just passed California smog.  The exterior color is ‘Sparkling Graphite’, the interior is black leather.


Mods include:

Klassen M52 Rims - Front: 19X9.5 ET27, 255/35ZR19 Michelin PSS, Rear: 19x11 ET31, 295/30ZR19 Michelin PSS

Shadowline trim blacked out

Painted Reflectors

Black kidney grills

Black side markers

Color match plate frame

Full Akrapovic Evolution Exhaust

Bilstein  PSS10 Coilovers

CiC Upgrade

ZHP Shift Knob

Sirius Satellite radio

LCI Taillights

Rogue Engineering Short Shift Kit

VF Engineering VF540 Supercharger

StopTech ST60/ST40 Big Brake Kit

BMW Pedals Aluminum Pedal Covers


I have most of the OEM parts that were replaced when these mods were installed.  Total cost on these mods is over $30k.  The mods were installed by Sonic MS and BR Racing, both rock solid BMW experts.


Since owning it, it has been in a minor accident where the front bumper was cracked to the point of replacement.  This was done in March 2013.  


Clean carfax available on request


I am well aware that highly modified cars are hard to price. Not everyone wants the same set of mods.  Given that, I am aggressively pricing this car at $60,000.  I’m sure I could get more by parting it out, but I simply don’t have the time.

A closer look at the 2015 BMW M3 and M4

Fri, 17 Jan 2014

It's fair to say we're going to miss the E92 BMW M3. Its high-revving V8, flame-styled looks and excellent driving character made it quite simply one of the best cars of the 2000s. Its replacements, the new M3 Sedan and M4 Coupe have a lot to live up to.
We still have a few months to wait until we can drive the new cars, but that doesn't mean we can't get excited in the meantime, learning everything we can. To find out, we sent west coast editor Michael Harley onto the Detroit Auto Show floor earlier this week to talk about the new M cars with BMW product manager Victor Leleu.
If you want a concise, but highly informative rundown of these new cars, look no further than this video. Leleu talks about the styling, weight savings and engines in a lot of detail, making this an interview M fans aren't going to want to miss. Scroll down for the full video.

Hamann M6 Gran Coupe is all flared and shiny

Tue, 10 Sep 2013

Oh, Hamann. After rolling out the ridiculously pink Mystère at this year's Geneva Motor Show, the tuning company has worked its mirror-finishing magic on the BMW M6 Gran Coupe, debuting this, the aptly named "Mirror" at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It sure is shiny, and a full 40 millimeters wider than the standard M6 GC.
Hamann says that the, um, "tailor-made suit" exterior treatment is made up of a new front bumper spoiler with large air intakes, side skirts, a new rear spoiler, and wing extensions out back. And the end result is... well, let's just call it noticeable. The special BMW rides on unique 21-inch wheels and sits a full 25 millimeters closer to the ground, as well.
As far as we can tell, Hamann hasn't upgraded the M6's 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 at all, though there's a new sport exhaust system that "depending on the application area, either noisily announce its presence or purr sportily." Sounds like it's as loud as its newfound appearance.

Mini JCW Paceman vs. BMW M135i in family faceoff

Mon, 15 Apr 2013

Over the last year, we've had the chance to drive two of the most exciting hatchbacks in the BMW family - the BMW M135i and the Mini Paceman John Cooper Works - but Autocar has managed to get the two corporate cousins together for a head-to-head comparison. Just like our initial impressions of the Paceman JCW, Autocar has little to complain about this new 215-horsepower hatchback... until it begins to factor in the faster, better-mannered and similarly priced M135i.
Despite laying down an extra 100 hp and delivering a 0-60 time that is almost two seconds quicker, the M135i carries the same price tag of 29,535 pounds in the UK; US pricing for the Paceman starts at $36,200, while it still isn't even clear if the US will be getting the M135i. Even more surprising is the fact that the Paceman falls short of the M135i in regards to rear seat and cargo volume, and just barely squeaks out a win in the fuel economy department. Scroll down to watch the BMW versus Mini hot hatch battle.
