NOTE: first and last pictures are from 2012 after paint job. Interior picture is from 2012 after restoration. After a detailing however it won't look unlike this. More recent pictures included of all sides. I am the original owner of this car. The motor was from a 2000 M roadster (last year they made stock engine). Car has 241,000 miles exactly. Drove like a champ until the day it died (thought it was a blown coil pack). This car has basically EVERY STOCK OPTION: 0) Engine is from 2000 M roadster and had about 150,000 miles.

This car could still do 0-60 in under 6 seconds until the day it died. See video for more! I loved this car and kept it so mint that in 2012 when it was painted and I restored the interior it was literally better than the day I bought it, given all the upgrades. Video (of 2 days before they broke windshield Sat - pm me for video of windshield). http://s1261.photobucket.com/user/kirkpatricknn/media/WP_20140612_007_zps0182daf1.mp4.html Thus, I am not parting it out - I am hoping someone who has an engine and some expertise will restore this to its glory days! |

2015 BMW M3 Sedan
Tue, 20 May 2014BMW's all-new M3 Sedan is dynamically nearly identical to its two-door M4 Coupe sibling: a stopwatch reveals that both are sub-four-second cars to 60 miles per hour, a racetrack proves that the mechanical twins are equally as adept on a road course and a full afternoon of driving on public roads demonstrates that each possesses talented everyday adaptability.
Yet after driving both BMW models back-to-back over two full days in Portugal, it's clear there are a few noticeable differences, both objective and subjective, that don't require instrument testing to reveal. All it takes is a few hours behind the wheel of both cars to conclude that one is slightly more agile, and the other a bit more twitchy. One has better outward visibility, while its counterpart is unquestionably more convenient.
It is the little things - subtleties attained through seat-of-the-pants observations - that eventually allow me to choose a favorite.

2015 BMW X4 configurator is ready to get personal
Thu, 17 Apr 2014The 2015 BMW X4 configurator is ready for your special touch. Starting with the 300-horsepower xDrive35i that starts at $48,925 after destination, our special touch aimed at a luxury cruiser and added $9,250 to proceedings for a final tally of $58,175. That got us the Technology, Lighting and Driver Assistance packages, navigation and enhanced USB and smartphone integration. We were tempted to go for the Dynamic Damping Control for just $1,000 and a set of 20-inch M Double Spoke Wheels, but the configurator didn't want to mix the M Sport Line with our Sparkling Brown metallic exterior hue so we skipped it.
We've covered the details on pricing and the breakdown of the order guide elsewhere, so you can always click through for refreshers. Or you can skip all those words and dive straight into trying to build an X4 that makes you say, "Yeah, now I get it."
