I bought the car with 77k on it from the 2nd owner, it now has 92,975 on it. I only drive it on weekends anymore and need money for a mortgage down payment. This is a low-reserve auction, especially for such an amazing, well taken care of car. Please contact me if you have any questions. I have listed the bad points early and I have done my best to describe this vehicle to the fullest. I own an automotive performance facility that specializes in BMW's so rest assured, aside from the defects I list, this car is completely sound. This vehicle is being sold as-is with no warranty, with all defects, and I reserve the right to end the auction early as it is for sale through other channels.

I welcome pre-bid inspections

Call or Text if you have ANY questions whatsoever. Seven3 two twoseven 879fourone

Bad points.

-Sunroof retracting tab is broken, thus the sunroof doesn't work. Doesn't leak or make any weird noises, it is just closed and I leave it that way. Never bothered me.

-Left front bumper reflector is cracked.

-Deck lid tail light lenses are faded, as is the M3 badge in the fender louvre.

-Car was involved in an accident before my ownership, left front fender and wheel were replaced as per the car fax. I own a body shop and thought the repairs to be sufficient. No inner fender or frame damage, cosmetic only. Takes an alignment no problem.

-Transmission has a slight grind going into third gear on heavy acceleration or heavy downshifting. It doesn't grind during around town driving or shifting below 4k Rpms.

-Dent behind driver door low on quarter panel

-Rocker moldings somewhat stained

-Wheels aren't in the best cosmetic shape, previous owner has some curbage and clearcoat peel. They are not cracked or repaired and they spin over true, I am very particular about vibration and this car is absolutely calm and poised at 50, 80, 110, or 140 (haven't gone much faster than that, lol), zero vibration in the wheel or the seat.

-Interior A-Pillar and C-Pillar cover is pulling slightly, very common with these cars and barely noticeable.

BMW M4 spied in coupe and convertible form

Thu, 29 Aug 2013

From the sound of it, we'll have to wait until the Detroit Auto Show to see the production version of the BMW M4, but spy shots show the new hi-po BMW testing recently in both coupe and convertible form. Showing a lot more skin than recent spy shots, these M4 prototypes look very similar to the M4 Concept we saw at Pebble Beach.
Carryovers from the concept car include the funky mirrors, bulging hood and the slotted front fascia vents, but the rear fascia seems to be missing the added flair of the concept and, as expected, the carbon fiber front splitter and exhaust tips are also missing from these M4s. Like the current M3 Convertible, the drop-top version of the M4 will utilize a retractable hard top.

Hamann BMW M6 Mirror can now cash the checks its body writes

Wed, 05 Mar 2014

Anyone remember the Hamann Mirror? Need a refresher? The Mirror is German tuning company Hamann's idea of a BMW M6. It was shown at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show as an M6 Gran Coupe, sporting a ridiculous paint job and some meaty, multi-spoke 21-inch wheels.
Consider this car the Mirror Mark 2. Based on the M6 Coupe, Hamann has applied a similar visual theme, using the same 21-inch wheels from 2013. Whereas the Gran Coupe rode around with a stock powertrain, though, there's been no such restraint with the two-door Mirror. A fine 620 horsepower is available from the 4.4-liter, biturbocharged V8, an increase of 60 horsepower. Torque is up as well, from 501 pound-feet to a whopping 560, meaning this M6 has speed to match its looks. Hamann claims the Mirror's newfound grunt allows it to hit 62 miles per hour faster than the standard M6 (we'd certainly hope so), although it won't mention a specific number.
The suspension, meanwhile, has been dropped 1.37 inches, or about a third of an inch lower than the Frankfurt Mirror. That drop is complemented by the Mirror's bodywork, including the exposed, carbon fiber hood and the flared fenders, which can now accommodate the enormous 305/25 rear rubber. Hamann has also paid some attention to the front and rear aerodynamics.
