 2001 BMW M3
 Here is the most wanted 2001 BMW M3 Convertible in Imola Red with Black leather interior and top. State of art and intelligence is the phrase to describe this ultimate driving machine. The new M3 convertible, based on the delectable current-generation 3 Series, is propelled by the magnificent 3.2-liter engine, with 333 thundering horses coming from a single bank of six cylinders. Capped with a six-speed manual transmission, all that horsepower and the 262 foot-pounds of torque (at 4,900 rpm) is good enough to propel the 3,781-pound M3 convertible to 60 mph in just 5.4 seconds, according to BMW. But an exhilarating driving experience involves more than mere speed, and the dynamics of the M3 have car reviewers frothing at the mouth to describe the joy derived from piloting this vehicle. From its communicative steering and near-perfectly balanced chassis to the compliant-yet-firm ride, this Bimmer, like most others, will have you searching for that elusive twisty road upon which to spool the revs and extract that stunning exhaust note. Standard features for this convertible M3 include  
Bucket Seats, Center Console, Power Heated Mirrors, Keyless Entry System, Lighted Entry System, Power Brakes, Rear Window Defroster, Sport Power Seats, Premium Audio System, 18 Inch Alloy Wheels, Automatic Climate Control (2 Zone) - Driver and Passenger, 3.2L I6 DOHC 24V FI Engine, Power Driver Seat w/Memory, Limited Slip Differential (Rear), 6-Speed Manual Transmission, Trip Computer, Stability Control, Traction Control, 4-Wheel ABS, Driver and Passenger Front Airbags, Front Side Airbags, Anti-Theft Alarm System, Leather Seats, Power Front Passenger Seat, Audio Steering Wheel Controls, Cruise Control, Power Steering, Remote Trunk Release, Leather Steering Wheel Trim, Electrochromatic Rear View Mirror, Power Convertible Roof and much more..
heated power-adjustable sport bucket seats, rain sensor; these are optional on this beauty. Other options include a cold weather package that includes a ski bag, heated front seats and headlight washer system that'll make the cars more palatable during the winter months as is a CD player w/ harmon/kardon sound system, for crying out loud.

Listed for sale locatlly. I reserve the right to end the auction early if the asking price is met.

This Alpina C1 is a rare bit of BMW 3 Series history

Mon, May 9 2016

Over its five decades in the business, German tuner-turned-automaker Alpina has established a long history of taking great BMWs and making them just a bit tastier, more luxurious, and well... faster. Of course, they haven't always been the land rockets of modern day, however that's not to say they were exactly tame. Back in the early 1980s, this was one of the cars to have—an Alpina C1 2.3. Based on the original E21 BMW 3-series, the C1 2.3 bridged the performance gap between the standard BMW 323i and Alpina's hard-charging B6 2.8. It summoned up a heady 170 horsepower and disposed of the 60 mph sprint in just seven and a half seconds. Not shabby at all. 33 years later, this '83 Alpina C1 is back up for sale , and it's still quite the head-turner. RELATED: Check Out the Hard-Charging 2016 Alpina B6 xDrive A look back at the C1's contemporary relatives show just how wide Alpina's performance gap had been. Introduced in 1977, the BMW 323i offered up 141 horsepower courtesy of BMW's famed M20 straight-six engine, a big performance improvement over the E21's previous four-cylinders. The Alpina B6 2.8 3-series on the other hand, introduced in 1978, blew its doors off thanks to the bigger 2.8-liter straight-six plucked from the BMW 528i, offering up 200 horsepower. All that, in an early 3-series. With that in mind, a middle-of-the-pack car made sense, so Alpina treated the 323i's straight-six to some of the B6 2.8's goodies, minus the former's Bosch fuel-injection system. Bilstein shocks were part of the diet too, along with oversized disc brakes, sleek alloy wheels, as well as the tell-tale Alpina front splitter, rear spoiler, and racy side-stripes. RELATED: The BMW Isetta is Coming Back, But as an Electric Vehicle! Inside, Alpina added a dose of luxury as well. One could order their C1 2.3 with the gorgeous optional Recaro seats with Alpina stripes, as well as a bespoke leather steering wheel, gear knob, and speedometer. Top speed? About 130 mph. Compared to regular E21 BMW 3-series cars, these are quite rare. How rare is a point of debate, however. Production estimates range from as few as 35 to as many as 400, depending on the source. Regardless, you certainly don't see them everyday, and if this one fits your fancy... it lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Related Video: This article originally appeared on Boldride.com.

2015 BMW Alpina B6 Gran Coupe challenges the M6 in New York

Wed, 16 Apr 2014

Despite being a well-respected outfit for decades, Alpina remains something of a mystery to many stateside BMW fans. In Europe, Alpina has established itself as a first-rate source for breathed-upon high-performance Bimmers, and it's looking to continue picking up traction on our shores. The US has received a handful of Alpina models through BMW factory channels, namely the 7-Series-based B7, and now we're getting another fast four-door with the debut of the BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe at today's 2014 New York Auto Show.
The B6 Gran Coupe stands as an interesting sibling to the factory's M6 Grand Coupe. Both are propelled by a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8, but the tunes are quite different. The Alpina produces 540 horsepower and 540 pound-feet of torque, which is 20 hp less than the M6, but with 40 lb-ft more torque. An eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive mean that the B6 is about half a second quicker to 60 miles per hour than BMW's own creation. Plus, the B6 has an unrestricted top speed of 198 mph, making it one seriously rapid 6 Series Gran Coupe.
The sport sedan also wears other Alpina goodies like 20-inch versions of the brand's 21-spoke wheels and exclusive color options. The B6 Gran Coupe goes for $118,225 (including destination), and will be available through BMW dealers immediately after the auto show ends. More info about the B6 is in the release below.
