Outstanding 2003 E46 M3

I am selling my clean, trouble free, superb condition M3.
This is my daily driver and my 3rd M3. I have taken extreme care of the vehicle and if you can find a cleaner, more tastefully modified E46 M3, I suggest  you by it.
Once or twice a year, I take a car that needs some love and attention, and bring it back to life. This car is done! It needs nothing!
There are absolutely NO trouble codes, subframe, or Vanos issues. The care has never been wrecked. Physician owed before me, it has been cared for and never tracked.
Don't look for any dings or dents because you won't find any.
I am selling the car to move on to my next project , which is a 1988 420 SEL.
I will try to be complete, but may leave something out, so here it goes.

The care is the 3.2 SMG coupe model
101900 miles, but I do drive it.
I have replaced all the external window molding with brand new OEM products. This was simply to bring it back to new looking and to get rid of 10 year old, sun faded rubber.The care has brand new BOSCH OEM wipers and blades
New Hood Cowl
The original kidney grill and side grills were old and chrome and have been replaced with brand new black ones with new badges
The car has brand new RED carbon fiber Roundels inside and out. This includes the wheel center caps.
Replaced gauge rings with RED rings.
Brand new RED leather shift boot and e-brake boot.
( Getting the theme here?)
Carbon fiber dash and door kit
The seats are perfect. No rips or tears. I had the seat professionally reconditioned and colored and immediately placed a cover on the driver side to protect it. You can see in the photos.

I installed a BMW OEM Homelink unit in the headliner, so you dont have to have a cheesy garage door opener pinned to the visor.
The factory radio has been replaced with a Bluetooth unit complete with Navigation and backup camera. It works flawlessly.I installed a 5 port USB port as well for your phone. Cell phone dash mount.
The ugly SMG shift knob has been replaced with an illuminated knob I took from a 2011 M3. It glows RED and looks awesome at night.

Now the outside

No dents
The car comes with Koalty Carbon fiber front lip
Carbon fiber roof spoiler
Carbon fiber trunk spoiler
and Carbon fiber PTM rear diffuser.

The exhaust is an ALL Stainless Steal Corsa catback($1600, check it if you dont believe me), and sounds awesome.
The wheels are $2500 CCWs with big Brand new(about 250 miles) 11 inch Hankook Ventus, 285/30/19s in the rear.
Big 14 inch Sportech cross drilled rotors all around with HAWK pads.
I replace the factory springs with HR 1 inch drop sport springs to give it a better stance and more control.
Xenon headlights

Again, in order to refresh the car, I replaced the headlight lenses with brand new crystal clear ones.
Brand new Yellow halogen fog lights.
Tinted rear tail lights.
Car has 20% window tint all around.

The Engine

No issues
Brand new Bosch coils
New NGK plugs
AFE Cold Air Intake
OIL, only replaced with Blue Molly 10W-60

I probably have forgotten something, but as you can see, the car is complete and a head turner.

OK, now the sale...
Do not bid if you are not serious
Bidding from ZERO feedback bidders need to contact me first.
I will require a $500 nonrefundable deposit w/i 48 hours of the sale. This is to discourage deadbeats.
The remainder is due w/i 7 days.
I will cancel and relist the car if these terms are not met.
You can pick the car up or have it shipped, but the buyer is responsible for all costs and arrangements.

Ask any questions about the car, and I will do my best to answer.
I am a physician and fairly busy but will get back to you.

THE RADAR DETECTOR IS NOT INCLUDED
I have additional photos that I am happy to email you.

Good Luck

BMW i8 now has 10-month waiting list in UK

Sun, Aug 10 2014

Reports that the BMW i8 would be a popular plug-in vehicle have been circulating since stories claiming 'sold out' status circulated late last year. Those turned out not to be entirely true, but now that deliveries have actually started, the $160,000 EV is proving to be only available to the patient in posh English shops. The Telegraph reports that there is a 10-month waiting period for the i8 in the UK, where one dealer (Park Lane in London's Mayfair) has managed to convince 170 people to place an order. Well, maybe convince isn't the right word. The store's sales manager told The Telegraph, "We've had numerous people asking to buy the display car. Many have said to me: name your price." Many locals want the car to avoid paying the expensive London congestion charge. The i8 uses a turbocharged 1.5-liter, three-cylinder engine and a 96-kilowatt electric motor to move from 9 to 60 miles per hour in only 4.2 seconds. The plug-in powertrain is good for 357 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. The plugged portion gives the i8 an EV range of up to 22 miles. The first i8 in the US is going to be auctioned off at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance Weekend next weekend.

BMW X5 eDrive Concept is utilitarian plug-in hybrid

Tue, 10 Sep 2013

Bridging the gap between internal combustion engine-powered vehicles and electric vehicles are plug-in hybrids, and BMW has made one out of its biggest sports utility vehicle, even if it's just a concept car at this point. The plug-in hybrid X5 eDrive Concept debuted today at the Frankfurt Motor Show, and it sits attached to a charge port on the show floor.
As we reported in August, the X5 eDrive Concept combines a turbocharged four-cylinder engine of unknown output with a 95-horsepower electric motor, to achieve longer range and lower emissions. The X5 eDrive can drive up to 75 miles per hour and 19 miles on electric power alone, manage about 62 miles per gallon (3.8 liters per 100 kilometers) and accelerate from 0-62 mph in under seven seconds, according to BMW.
Three drive modes are offered: one that automatically operates the hybrid system, an all-electric mode and a Save Battery mode that operates the vehicle using the engine only.

Next BMW 7 Series interior spotted

Mon, Nov 24 2014

The next BMW 7 Series looks to be leading a rather dramatic change of the company's interior styling, judging by this new series of spy photos. In the trio of shots, we can see that the next 7 Series will replace the high-quality plastic buttons of the brand's iDrive, HVAC and secondary audio controls with some very, very pretty aluminum pieces. We can also see what looks like haptic touch controls for some of the HVAC systems. While the 7 Series interior has never been bad, it's lagged notably behind the Audi A8 and new Mercedes-Benz S-Class. This brightwork should be taken as a good sign, then, that BMW is preparing to take the fight to its countrymen. Aside from the handsome new switchgear, the large, wide nav screen looks like a pop-up unit, while it appears to be running a new version of the company's infotainment system. These spy photos also give us our most detailed look at the 7 Series' new laser headlights. According to our spies, these will be an optional extra, while LED headlights will be standard. The high-output lights will flank a wider pair of kidney grilles that our spies claim will give the 7 a sportier look. Changes in back are still camouflaged, although our shooters claim the new lamps will be more angular than the current car's. Expect the next 7 Series to make its debut in the second half of 2015, which could indicate a debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
