E46 M3 Coupe/ Every Oem Option/ Forged Wheels/ Csl/ Brembo/ Adult Ownd/ Pristine on 2040-cars
Austin, Texas, United States
This is a prime opportunity to acquire a tastefully appointed, all option, timeless German sports car in the most desirable color. This car has an AutoCheck score of 82, which is higher than some E92 M3s, let alone most E46s. There are absolutely no stories, accidents, recalls, or any other imperfections on the record of this car. I’ve wanted one of these cars since released in 2001. I had the unique opportunity to purchase this one from a friend of mine, who also happens to be the owner of BrenTuning. This was his personal vehicle that helped promote his tuning company. He purchased around 50k miles and sold to me around 70k. He did most of the modifications you see. I have kept it garaged, maintained, and detailed since purchasing in 2010. I am an ex-detailer and remain passionate about the cleanliness of my personal vehicles. For those of you that are in that world, the car is currently polished with Menzerna PO85RD and topped with two layers of Zaino Z5 Pro. I purchased this car in 2010 when I moved to Texas from the Northeast. It has never spent a night outside. I’ve only used BMW OEM parts and fluids for any repairs and maintenance it needs. It has seen rain less than 10 times since I’ve owned it. Lucky for us Texans, it never rains here, and the car is always clean. I daily drove this car for the first three years of ownership, but only put about 9,000 miles a year on it. After that, I picked up another vehicle to alternate with. More recently, I began working from home so this only gets used 1-2 times per week. My reason for sale is because it is time for something new. I truly love this car and it will be painful to part with. I’ve had it since March of 2010, which is longer than I’ve owned any other car. It is the most driver-centric vehicle I’ve owned, which will be hardest to part with. However, someone deserves to give this one a go. I’ve only put 3,000 miles on it since November. It is truly special and receives regular compliments. Condition None nicer. I don’t
use that lightly. I’ve sold a lot of
cars before, both my own and as a consultant.
I’ve been to local M3 meets and put the 2006 Texas M3s to shame. They are hard pressed to believe the age and
roots of this car. If you tell someone
this car is 2002, they won’t believe you.
It is as clean as they come. The only cosmetic imperfections are with the elbow areas on the driver's console/door armrests (normal wear) and cracked lower portion of the front lip. The driver's door titanium trim has a little bubbling as well. I rewrapped the lip in 3M carbon fiber vinyl after
a truck dropped a branch on a dark highway with nowhere to go. When wrapped, you don’t even know there is
damage. Thankfully the lip took the brunt of the impact and nothing else on the
car, or under the car, was affected.
Unfortunately, they don’t make this lip anymore, so I had to
improvise. There are a couple of
blisters on the rear driver’s side wheel-lip that have been there since I’ve
owned it, but not worsened. This is
shoddy chrome work from iForged, but they refuse to repair it. It didn’t bother me enough to have them re-chromed. Other than that, what you see is what you
get; an impeccably maintained and cared for E46 M3. Overview:

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 i8 headed to Frankfurt
Mon, 05 Aug 2013According to Edmunds, BMW will reveal its production i8 hybrid sports car at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month. The i8 is the second vehicle to come from the automaker's new "i" initiative, following the debut of the smaller i3 hatchback last month.
The BMW i8 makes its debut nearly four years after the original Vision EfficientDynamics concept bowed at the Frankfurt expo in 2009. The production car is expected to use a 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine that drives the rear wheels, coupled to an electric motor that drives the front wheels. Combined output is said to be something like 393 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, based on our earlier reports. The i8 is also expected to be very light, with curb weight coming in somewhere around 3,125 pounds. Finally, the i8 is said to have a pure electric range of 20 miles, and should be able to hit 62 miles per hour in just under five seconds.
Other publications had the chance to ride along in the i8 (in prototype form) and came away impressed. We're hoping we'll feel the same when the car officially goes on sale sometime in early 2014. Stay tuned for more at the i8's official unveiling in just a few weeks.
BMW i3 configurator is so advanced it's replaced trim levels
Fri, 25 Apr 2014BMW's electric i3 is slowly marching its way to dealers. It might not be happening quite fast enough for customers, though. For you anxious individuals, head over to the BMW consumer website and build your ideal i3 in the new configurator.
Before we talk about all the stuff this build tool can do, we need to address the naming of BMW's trim levels for the EV hatchback. The 328i, for example, is available in Sport Line, M Sport Line and Luxury Line. That's good; it makes sense. The i3, though, has Giga World, Tera World and Mega World. Seriously. We've no idea what BMW was thinking when it came up with this (this is the same company that regularly uses the phrase "Sport Activity Vehicle," so...).
Silly names aside, let's try and translate where each trim fits in. The Mega World is the base trim. The Giga, at $1,700, adds stylish leather-and-wool seats in a clean two-tone color scheme, along with 19-inch wheels and a leather-covered IP. The Tera World demands $2,700, but makes up for it with its own 19-inch wheels and a full leather interior. Both lines (worlds?) add satellite radio and eucalyptus wood trim.
