Here is a chance to own a rare 6 speed manual transmission BMW M3 E46 with Dinan stage 3 supercharger plus lots of other Dinan goodies. The supercharger is no longer available to this model M3 making this set up even more rare and hard to find. The car is very well sorted, garage kept, adult owned and meticulously maintained. The body exterior and convertible top are basically flawless and the interior looks almost new. Everything cosmetically is original and even the driver seat still looks great. $22000+ has been spent on DINAN parts (fully documented) to upgrade the performance of this BMW. I have set what I feel to be a REASONABLE RESERVE on this car. TO VIEW OVER 50 HIGH DETAIL PHOTOS OF THE CAR, CLICK ON THIS LINK: AND CLICK ON “VIEW ALBUM” I've owned this supercharged M3 Dinan for the past 5 1/2 years and the car has been solid and reliable. I've had no problems whatsoever. Every switch, gauge, gadget, etc, aftermarket or factory are in perfect working order. All maintenance is up to date. It's been one of the most reliable cars I've owned. I've always been a BMW enthusiast and have owned 6 BMWs over the years. The car has always been adult owned and driven. I have a clear, lien free North Carolina title in hand for the car. The exterior is Imola red and as far as I know, only available to the M3 and not the regular 3 series. The leather heated seats are nearly mint and have never been "restored" or dyed like most of the dealers do. The car is tight, handles very well, doesn't rattle or burn or leak any oil. The steering is smooth and doesn't shake or pull. Power is excellent and comes on strong with the boost. IN OTHER WORDS, the car runs and drives like new (actually, better than new.) The car has all factory options offered when new. I have a full carfax report on hand as well as documentation for maintenance and upgrades. I’m including a nice BMW matching key fob and BMW touch up paint as well. On the carfax report, a minor accident was reported back in 2008. I questioned this when I purchased the car and found out that it was simply a front bumper cover replaced due to a small incident while the car was being test driven at the dealership. I can’t tell that any work was done, though. No bondo anywhere, just bolt on. Everything lines up perfectly. All gaps, etc are perfect. This was a very well done repair. The body is extremely nice and the only “flaws” that I can find are some small stone chips on the lower front spoiler, most of which, I’ve touched up. This is typical wear for the age of the car. You’re welcome to stop by and test drive / inspect the car during the auction or set up an appointment to have a mechanic of your choice inspect the car at your expense. I’m selling the car as is in sound condition and it would be your responsibility to check everything out in person if you wish. Again, the car has a clear title in my name. I’m a private seller, not a dealer. This car has been my baby. I’ve set a REASONABLE RESERVE ON THE CAR. E46 M3's are getting rarer and hard to find in this condition. I’ll do my best to answer any questions accurately and as quickly as possible. Overall, its an exceptionally nice car and in my opinion, would be hard to find a nicer E46. A $500 deposit is due within 24 hours of auction’s end. Full payment is due within 7 days of auction’s end by certified cashier's check or cash. If you bid and win the auction, please be prepared to make payment and pick up the car. By winning this auction, you have entered into a contract to buy the car. I have the right to refuse bids from bidders with no or low feedback ratings. The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to sell and stop the auction if sold locally. It is my intent to let the auction run until the end, though. I can help with shipping if the winning bidder needs assistance. THANKS FOR LOOKING!

2014 BMW 4 Series
Tue, 23 Jul 2013Because Four Is Greater Than Three
Say what you will about the name 4 Series, there is a method to BMW's madness. On one hand, it's easy enough to just buy into the logic that odd numbers are reserved for sedans and wagons, and that even numbers are reserved for coupes and convertibles. On the other hand, consider the idea that the higher numbers are used to separate the more dynamic, more engaging vehicles that use the same platform. It's that sort of separation that differentiates the 6 Series so nicely from its 5 Series roots, after all. And if we're being cynical, it also allows BMW to charge a bit more money for its lower-volume offerings.
So with the new two-door version of the 3 Series, BMW has gone the route of strengthening the dynamic virtues of its F30 chassis to create a car that's more removed from its sedan kin than one might think. And after spending some time with the new 4 Series on the roads around Lisbon, Portugal, as well as the famous Circuito do Estoril racetrack, it's increasingly clear that calling this car a 3 Series Coupe simply wouldn't be fair.
BMW shows up-armored X5 concept and we can't get near it
Wed, 11 Sep 2013BMW has brought a slightly different concept vehicle to the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. Rather than something that foreshadows a future product or a new design direction, the Munich-based manufacturer has brought an X5 that's designed to be shot at. It's called the Concept X5 Security Plus. The Concept X5 name is a bit misleading, though. It's based on the 2014 X5, while BMW already builds an armored CUV, called the X5 Security. The concept tag has to do with the "Security Plus" part.
Engineered to be compliant with VR6 security standards - the current X5 Security is for VR4 standards - the Concept X5 will quite happily shrug off direct attacks from an AK-47. Thanks to sealed joints, high-strength steel moldings, high-performance steel body panels and special, polycarbonate-coated security glass, Kalashnikov's finest, whether used as a firearm or as a melee weapon, would be useless against this X5.
Built alongside the standard X5 in BMW's Spartanburg, SC factory, the X5 is shipped to a BMW facility in Toluca, Mexico for installation of the armor and security features. The company claims this delivers a more thoroughly engineered protective solution than aftermarket retrofitting.
Feds greenlight BMW X5 diesel sales for 2016 [UPDATE]
Fri, Dec 11 2015Update: The EPA also confirmed that the 2016 X5 diesel passed the tests in a statement: "EPA and the California Air Resources Board certified BMW's 2016 diesel X5. EPA is performing additional screening when it conducts confirmatory emissions tests before issuing a certificate. Our screening tests found no evidence of a defeat device in the 2016 BMW X5, concluding our certification review." The 2016 BMW X5 xDrive35d is the latest diesel model to pass rigorous emissions tests by the Environmental Protection Agency and prove that it doesn't circumvent regulations with a defeat device. The luxury SUV can now go on sale to customers, and BMW spokesman Hector Arellano-Belloc confirms to Autoblog the first of them should arrive at dealers around late January. The automaker previously delayed production of the new model at the Spartanburg plant until the EPA completed certification. Following Volkswagen's emissions cheating, the EPA, California Air Resources Board, and Environment Canada began stricter testing for diesel vehicles to ensure that they met regulations. The first models to get the additional scrutiny were the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon with the Duramax engine, and they passed with no problems. According to Reuters, the X5 diesel was the only other non-VW from the 2016 model year that the agencies needed to certify with this more rigorous evaluation. The 2016 X5 xDrive 35d starts at $58,695 after the $995 destination charge. A 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine sends 255 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque through an eight-speed automatic to the all-wheel drive system. BMW claims that the vehicle can reach 60 miles per hour in 6.5 seconds, and the 2015 model carries an EPA fuel economy rating of 24 miles per gallon city, 31 mpg highway, and 27 mpg combined.
