This auction is for a single owner, 2004 BMW M3 in excellent original condition!

It's black on black with the optional 19" wheels shod in Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires with plenty of tread left.

This car has always and only ever been serviced at BMW of Towson and strictly by the book. Every service ever called for was performed in sequence and on time including the very expensive valve adjustments and inspections. There were three recalls of which this model year were susceptible - all three were immediately performed, again at Towson BMW. The only service ever not performed at Towson BMW was the brand new OEM clutch assembly that was installed by Pikesville Automotive just two weeks ago! While out, the transmission and flywheel were inspected and found to be in proper operational condition. The SMG ECU transmission control module was reprogrammed following the installation and now the transmission shifts fast and flawlessly through all six gears! They also changed the oil with fully synthetic Castrol 10W60 and replaced the battery. All records are on file back to 2007 at Towson BMW. Apparently their system was purged of everything prior to that year. I can furnish those records as well.

The car does have 163,500 miles so I won't say it's in perfect condition but it is in great condition. The exterior has a couple small minor dings that any decent paintless dent repair guy could easily pop out. No major dents, scratches or scuffs. NO ACCIDENTS!! The wheels are in less than great condition but are perfectly functional - there is a bit of curb rash on each wheel, though no bends or dents. Otherwise, the exterior looks like the garage kept car it is - GREAT!

The interior is also in very good condition. The leather is excellent with no tears, scuffs or wear marks, front or rear. The carpet and headliner are also great. The only issue with the interior is the bit of paint crackling around the shift knob and window switches on the center console and steering wheel...this is strictly cosmetic and really doesn't look that bad at all. Otherwise, the interior is also in very good shape.

Mechanically the car needs nothing to my knowledge. It starts right up and drives the way it was designed to from the factory...like a champ! All the bells and whistle - window switches, sunroof, power and heated seats, door locks, Harmon Kardon stereo, etc - function properly.

The car is in all original condition except for the front corner and side lights which were replaced with the darker euro-style lights that look a lot better next to the factory Xenon lights.

Not much else to report at this point. I encourage any interested bidders to come see and test drive the vehicle but if you'd rather not and just bid, please do so with confidence. Trust me, the car is as described.

Cash payment is preferred, followed by check and then Paypal if necessary. Title is in hand and clear.

Feel free to call with any question.

Thanks,

JAS

China's largest dealer body pushes back against foreign automakers over huge inventories

Mon, Jan 5 2015

Do not think for a second that automakers forcing inventory on dealers in order to pad the numbers is a ruse known only in the US. Stories of individual brands have hinted at the trouble Chinese dealerships are having trying to move units as the country's economic growth remains hot but comes off the boil, like the one revealing that 95 percent of Toyota-FAW showrooms are losing money. Yet Toyota isn't the only culprit, and the issue has become so dire that the China Automobile Dealers Association (CADA), the largest dealer body in the country, has written to the government to complain. Chinese car sales are expected to close out the year with an annualized growth of six-percent, down from last year's 14 percent when targets were set, while in the background the pace of overall economic expansion is the slowest its been since the early nineties. Automakers, shipping cars on schedule to make their earlier targets, have blown up inventories such that they are an average of 1.8 times monthly sales, when the preferred multiplier is from 0.9 to 1.2. According to the CADA, the price wars and necessary incentives mean that only 30 percent of dealers are operating in the black. That number is down a whopping forty percent since 2010. In response, Toyota has already said it will not make its 2014 target of 1.1 million cars sold. We're a long way from 2012, when Toyota planned on selling 1.8 million cars in China in 2015, a target that's now as realistic as a manticore. BMW, Honda and Nissan have erased numbers on their spreadsheets, too; BMW growth dropped from 20 percent to 8 percent midyear after it began "reducing wholesale supplies," and Honda has been reworking its plans as sales have decreased each of the past six months. It's a big deal for Chinese dealers to begin protesting publicly, the CADA saying, "In the past, dealers were angry, but dared not speak out. But now, they have to shout because the situation is getting so unbearable." With six-percent growth forecast for next year and dealers unwilling to remain underwater, The Year of the Sheep coming in 2015 could portend meaning beyond the zodiac.

The List: The Red BMW - A Retrospective

Mon, 23 Dec 2013

We can't help but use this time of year to look back at the days before and reminisce about friends who are no longer in our lives. For The List, Jessi and Patrick were often joined by a little, red BMW 3 Series that, at times, felt like a third host of the show. Having been bought used for just a thousand bucks, the red BMW proved to be surprisingly durable. Through jumps, dunks and monster trucks, it remained our little trooper 'till the very end, and on the way taught us all how important a faithful four-wheeled companion is to the life's work of completing one's automotive bucket list.
For our last episode of The List in 2013, we give you The Red BMW - A Retrospective.
