You’re looking at a 2002 Titansilber Metallic/Imola Red BMW E46 M3 Coupe.  This car was originally manufactured in 11/01 at the Regensburg, Germany factory and purchased new from Ralph Schomp BMW in Denver, CO.  It remained in Denver until the beginning of this year when it came to southern New Mexico.  This is an extremely clean Mountain West/Desert Southwest non-smoker car.  It currently serves as my daily driver and I’ve had no issue with it.  Ithas always been garaged and is in beautiful condition!  I’m selling it because I now need a truck.   

If you’re specifically looking for an E46 you already know how awesome these cars are.  For those who may not be a familiar with it, the E46 was developed as an evolutionary replacement for the BMW E36 chassis and is the fourth generation of the 3 Series compact executive cars produced by BMW.  The E46 M3, first introduced in October 2000, appeared worldwide with the new 3.2 L S54 M-tuned engine. At the time of the car's introduction, this engine had the highest specific output naturally aspirated of any engine ever made by BMW (except in the McLaren F1).  Here are some general specs if interested:

·         333 hp (248 kW; 338 PS)

·         Torque: 262 lb·ft (355 N·m)

·         0-60 mph (97 km/h) — 4.6 s for SMG

·         1/4 mile – Coupe: 13.0 s @ 104 mph (167 km/h)

·         Top speed – Coupe: 155 mph (250 km/h) (electronically limited), 170 mph (270 km/h) (delimited)

·         Skid pad – Coupe: 0.89 g  

I’ve included the VIN (WBSBL934X2JR14099) if you'd like to decode it or running the carfax. The car is in amazing condition for its age, but there are a few things that need to be mentioned. I'm not a fan of surprises, so I'd hate to do that to you.  

Exterior: The paint is not sun damaged and the clearcoat is shiny.  There are a few rock chips on the hood which have been touched up.  I recently picked up a rock in the windshield, so that needs to be replaced.  Also, there is one minor dent on the driver side front fender flare.  All of this is shown in the pictures.  I’m happy to answer any questions, but in general the exterior is in great condition.    

Interior: Leather is in great shape.  The only notable item is some MINOR wear on the driver side seat leading edge from getting in/out of the car.  No cracks, fade, or abnormal wear.

Mechanical: This car is all original with no aftermarket modifications…bone stock.  Always maintained per the manual.  No ominous dash lights remain continuously on.  Regular oil changes with mfg recommended Castrol Synthetic.  The car has laser sharp handling and is generally very tight all the way around.

All pictures were taken the day before this listing was posted and reflect the current condition of the car.

BMW suing Saab Automobile Parts for $3.2M

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

Saab might be all but dead, but that's not stopping automakers that were once involved with the Swedish brand from attempting to reclaim losses. According to a Fox Business report, BMW has filed a 2.6 million Euro suit ($3.2 million USD) with a Swedish district court against Saab Automobile Parts for deliveries that went unpaid.
In 2012, Saab Automobile AB signed an agreement BMW that would see the German automaker deliver four-cylinder gas engines for its 9-3 range.
The suit also asserts that Saab ordered a large number of spare parts, and no payments were made to BMW. At the time, Saab was far from liquid, and filed for bankruptcy in December of last year.

1959 Ferrari 250 GT California sells for nearly $18M, exceeding expectations

Thu, Dec 7 2017

RM Sotheby's just wrapped up its auction in New York, where it sold off a pair of gorgeous silver roadsters, with one of them selling for the incredible price of $17.99 million. That car was a 1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California that we covered previously, and Sotheby's was only expecting it to go for between $14 million and $17 million. Apparently someone felt the car's rare aluminum construction and racing history was worth the extra cash. View 11 Photos The other roadster went for considerably less money but was notable because of its previous owner, late Apple CEO Steve Jobs. The car is a 2000 BMW Z8 that the tech mogul had for around three years. The final sale price only met expectations, though, at $329,500. The original auction estimate was between $300,000 and $400,000.

Recharge Wrap-up: BMW i sales hit 50k, SsangYong SIV-2 concept

Wed, Feb 17 2016

BMW sold its 50,000th i car in January. The i3, which launched in September 2013, made up roughly 83 percent of those sales. The considerably more expensive i8, which launched in June of 2014, understandably made up fewer sales. The i3 is currently sold in 49 countries, while most of the i8's sales came from the US, UK, Germany, and Norway. Through December, cumulative i3 sales reached 17,116 in the US, 5,063 in Germany, 4,494 in Norway, 3,747 in the UK and 1,348 in Switzerland. i8 sales were 2,820 in the US, 964 in the UK and 793 in Germany. BMW sold 29,513 i-Series cars in 2015, and 1,255 in January of 2016. Read more at Hybrid Cars. SsangYong will debut its SIV-2 concept at the Geneva Motor Show. The SIV-2 – which stands for Smart Interface Vehicle – uses a 48-volt mild hybrid system with a turbocharged, 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine, 500-Wh battery pack and 10-kW electric motor. The Korean automaker says the modular SIV-2 platform can also accommodate plug-in hybrid and battery electric versions. Alongside the SIV-2, SsangYong will introduce a new Tivoli XLV crossover, based on the XLV Air concept, which is expected to offer competitive fuel economy. Read more at Green Car Reports. Worcester Polytechnic Institute is receiving a $1 million contract from the United States Advanced Battery Consortium (USABC) to make recycled plug-in hybrid batteries. The 50-percent cost-share contract will help Worcester Polytechnic scale up its recycling process to make batteries using recycled cathode material. The process, which USABC calls "novel and efficient," will make the batteries less costly than ones made with all-new material, "thereby offering a value-driven path towards improved sustainability." United States Council for Automotive Research executive director Steve Zimmer says, "These programs are critical to advancing the technology needed to meet both near- and long-term goals that will enable broader scale vehicle electrification."
