I have this M3 for sale.  This car is in excellent mechanical condition.  I have been asked by the owner to assist in selling it for him.  He has several cars and needs to get rid of some.  I operate an Independent BMW Repair shop here in Houston and this is a customer’s car.  We have maintained it for several years.  He has always done whatever work we recommended to him and the car is update to date on maintenance.

 

Here is a rundown of when things were last done:

Oil Change – every 5000 miles

02/14

87,688

 

 

 

Major Service

09/12 – Insp I

77,536

05/11

You can see the manual transmission has been replaced recently.   This was done because it kept popping out of gear.  We replaced the transmission in November 2013.  It is a brand new BMW transmission.  Parts and labor was right around $7000.  The clutch had been replaced in March of 2013.

 

Other items that have been replaced in the past are:

  • Front wheels bearings

  • AC blower assembly

  • Rear engine seal

  • Front transmission seal

  • Guibo and center bearing

  • Clutch master and slave cylinders.

  • Front and rear shocks/strut assemblies, mounts, bump stops and dust boots.

  • Belts/pulleys

  • Tires are only worn about 10% on the front and 50% in the rear.

  • All brakes are about 10% worn

  • Radiator, expansion tank, front hoses.

 

Things I know that will need attention in the future:

  • Minor play in torsional bushings

  • Constant pressure valve is starting to seep a little bit

  • Oil filter housing is seeping a bit.

  • Some scratches on the front bumper.  Some will buff out (by the wheel well on the left front), the bottom underside is more significant.  Probably from parking too close on a curb.

  • There is wear on the driver seat bolster and the arm rest.

 

I guess that is about it.  Ive got fully liberty to negotiate on this thing.  I know with as good of shape as it is in, we will probably hold out for someone willing to pay on the higher end.  We want cash in hand at pick up, no checks or money orders of course.  Keep this in mind if you are thinking of shipping it because you will need to fly down and pick it up and drive it home.  I have the title in hand, signed.  A bill of sale will be signed as well at pick up.


With respect to everyone, please do not email me asking what the “lowest price” Ill take for the car.  Im not interested in getting a low price obviously, I am interested in getting the highest fair price I can get for a car I feel is in excellent mechanical shape!  I probably will not respond to those emails.


Thanks for looking, let me know if you have questions.

BMW starts Apple-like "Genius" program to explain tech

Wed, 20 Feb 2013

Even workaday cars are so capable now that even most auto scribes don't truly find out about a car's limits until a professional driver shows them what they are. It's the same with a vehicle's suite of features and the technology inside - there's so much of it that most people will have no idea what their cars can offer them. BMW is the latest company to make a personal effort to change that, introducing "young, tech-savvy employees" to dealerships as part of its "BMW Genius Everywhere" initiative.
Having no part in the actual sale of a vehicle, a BMW Genius is present on the showroom floor only to answer questions about the company's products and their features. If the customer decides to buy, he is transferred to a salesperson. A pilot program in the UK proved its effectiveness, it will now be rolled out across Europe and then come to the United States toward the end of this year in time for the launch of the i3. Details are still being worked out, but each BMW dealer will have at least one Genius.
For assistance that doesn't require visiting the auto mall, BMW is also putting vehicle and feature tutorials on its US website to "make our knowledge about our brand more interesting and more accessible to the consumer." They will appear online sometime in the latter half of the year, and will also be bundled into iPhone and iPad apps.

Motor Trend first to compare Jaguar XE and BMW 3 Series

Tue, Jun 30 2015

How many automakers have loaded up how much ammo and taken how many shots at the BMW 3 Series? Yet here we are, decades on and at least a decade away from the 3 Series' halcyon days, waiting for someone to give the sport sedan something beyond a flesh wound. In this most recent episode of Head 2 Head, Johnny Lieberman goes to Spain to figure out if the Jaguar XE is the sedan to do it. Here the champion wears the guise of the 335i M Sport, powered by a 3.0-liter, turbocharged, inline-six with a square 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque run through a ZF eight-speed transmission. After a short time behind the wheel Lieberman quotes from a familiar hagiography, saying it's evident "just how great this car is and why it defines the segment." The all-aluminum challenger from Jaguar comes in XES trim, meaning a 3.0-liter, supercharged V6 with 340 hp and 332 lb-ft. It uses the same eight-speed transmission as the BMW, but with different programming. According to the specs in the video, some of which are manufacturer estimates, the Jaguar is heavier, more expensive, and much thirstier at the pump. Away from the spreadsheet, Lieberman holds that the XE looks better and feels more special inside. In case you're wondering, the comparo was done before MT could get its mitts on the 320-hp BMW 340i. Lieberman says the English company spent its money on the XE suspension and it shows, but there have been other efforts from other automakers with excellent dynamic chops that weren't enough to threaten the BMW. His final assessment is that one of the two cars is awesome, and one is quite a bit better. Watch the video to find out which is which.

Latest Forza Horizon 3 car pack features a Skyline and a fast Swedish wagon

Tue, Jan 3 2017

The steady stream of Forza Horizon 3 car packs shows no signs of slowing down, and the latest Rockstar Energy Drink pack includes enthusiast favorites such as the R31 Skyline and the Volvo V60 Polestar. The car pack also features a couple of sporty two-doors and some off-road oriented machines. Luxury-minded players will be pleased to see both the Bentley Bentayga and BMW i8 make an appearance. People more concerned with ultimate performance will have a different pair to consider. Players will want to check out the Ford trophy truck for busting dunes, and the Radical RXC Turbo for race-car levels of pavement performance. Finally, yet another classic Aussie muscle car appears in the pack: the 1972 Ford Falcon XA GT-HO. For those interested in the new rides, this car pack is included in the Forza Horizon 3 Car Pass, or can be purchased on its own. If only one or two vehicles are must-haves, it's also possible to purchase the cars individually.
