If you are looking at this car, chances are you know a fair amount about it. However if not here is some info on the ZCP/Competition package and SMG transmission

Competition/ZCP Package- This was offered by BMW for only the last two production years of the E46 ('05 & '06) It is basically a "de-tuned" european CSL version (which is extremely rare and normally reaches 6 figure prices) The differences from a normal M3 to an M3 with the Competition package are listed below..
- Larger compound and cross drilled brake rotors
- Different steering rack similar to a CSL, has a tighter ratio, steers completely different from an M3
- Alcantra wrapped Steering wheel, SMG gear selector, and e-brake handle.
- All cruise and stereo buttons removed from steering wheel, fitted only with a Track Mode button that changes the rear diff and traction control settings
- 19" csl wheels (very light weight).
- Competition/ZCP only brushed aluminum trim
To me a ZCP car is very different from a normal m3. You get more of an "experience" driving the car.

SMG Transmission- It is the exact same gearbox as the 6 speed manual that was offered. The only difference being the clutch is controlled by a hydraulic pump controlled by a brain box. There is no clutch pedal in the car, but it is a manual. You have to drive it like a manual, and get used to driving it like a manual. The car "operates" the clutch as you press on the gas pedal. There are many cool features like 6 different shift maps you can select from to change the severity of the gear change, also rev matching on down shifts, and launch control. This transmission shifts faster than a human in S6 mode, and really cannot ever "miss" a shift like a human. It is faster than the 6 speed manual car.







Car was originally from California, then shipped to previous owner in Illinois (Chicago Area), and now owned by me in MN.
I am the third owner of the car.

It has 51,000 miles and slowly rising




I have a full photobucket album available with pictures of the car. (over 70 pictures) Please contact me for further info or the link to this album.


Thank you and have a great day

Recharge Wrap-up: Derailing Malaysia's B10 plans, Tesla and Solyndra

Sat, Jun 13 2015

Tesla Motors will lease the Solyndra building near its Fremont, California factory. The manufacturing facility is more than 500,000 square feet, but the cost of the lease and the production capacity remain undisclosed. The lease of the building, "located conveniently down the road from the Tesla Factory, gives us the space to expand our manufacturing and build more engineering labs as we build up production," says a Tesla spokesperson. The added manufacturing space will help Tesla meet its production goals for the upcoming Model X electric SUV. Trip Chowdhry, senior analyst at Global Research Equities, says that shifting some engineering duties from the Deer Creek facility to the new one could help solve current parking shortages, as well.

Malaysia recently announced that it would use crude palm oil to make the B10 blend that would be required to be sold beginning in October, up from the current B7 mandate. "In our tests with B10 biodiesel worldwide, we have found technical challenges," says BMW Group Malaysia Managing Director and CEO Alan Harris, such as the fatty acid methyl ester in palm oil thinning motor oil. Mercedes-Benz also urges reconsideration of B10. The Malaysia Automotive Institute says it will include representatives from the auto industry in talks with the Malaysian Palm Oil Board.

In 2009, ethanol suffered a price drop that forced Pacific Ethanol to decrease production and declare bankruptcy for four of its plants. Now its base extends from the West Coast to the Midwest, as Aventine Energy Holdings has four plants in Illinois and Nebraska. The merger more than doubles Pacific Ethanol's production capacity, making it the fifth-largest ethanol producer in the US. Read more from The Sacramento Bee.

2015 BMW M3 Sedan

Tue, 20 May 2014

BMW'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.
