due to the extended trunk handle and LED Tail Lights.
This is a turn key E46 M3. I have been collecting cars for years and it is tough to find another one as clean and
perfect as this one. I have service records, books, brochures, and (2) keys. You will be hard pressed to find
another E46 M3 as clean and immaculate as this one. This car looks and drives as good as it did when it rolled off
the assembly line, if not better. I would rate the Interior a 9.5/10 the seats are in excellent condition, the
bolsters do not have any wear on them, all functions work and operate on the M seats as they should. This car also
has the adjustable seat width lumbar. I've owned over 32 E46 M3's and this is the second one I have owned that had
this feature. The Front dash is very clean no cracks, the Rear seats have never been sat in, and Rear deck-lid has
no sun damage. The Exterior of the car is a solid 9.5/10 the front bumper grill has minor stone marks from driving,
the rear rockers near the wheels have minor stone marks from driving. Front bumper has not been drilled for license
plate, the lip spoiler on the back is all factory and original. The paint is smooth and looks excellent under the
sun, freshly buffed and always waxed with Zymol. The color looks very vibrant and sharp with the 19" Polished M
wheels. The wheels are curb and rash free, tires & brakes have only 3K miles on them.
Under the hood the car features the revolutionary S54 Power Plant (3.2L 333HP). These engines have been noted to be
one of the best M engines produced by BMW M GmbH. The E46 M3 in the early 2000's was known to be the car out
performing every car in its class and is one of the most recognized M cars in the market place today. Whether you
are buying this for yourself or your son/daughter, this M3 is a true gem. This car is all original and stock, it
has never been modified. Tasteful improvements have been made to the sound system by Alpine, which have been
professionally and tastefully installed maintaining full use of trunk without adding excess weight. Combined with
Touch Screen Digital Display and 60GB I-pod. Recent Oil Service has been performed at BMW using Castrol GTX 10W60.
New set of floor Mats have been installed for the next owner. All Fluids have been flushed and refilled.
No expense has been spared to properly store, maintain and address all preventative maintenance on this M3. I do
not need to sell this car and would prefer to keep it, but if this M3 goes to the right home I will be happy. This
is a true collectable as these cars age it is very difficult to find another one with such exceptional service
history, records, and condition. Age, mileage and condition is the largest contributing factor to this car along
with all original keys, window sticker, books, and records, which are included with this sale.

Next-gen BMW 5 Series sedan spotted with production body, possible PHEV

Fri, Dec 12 2014

The current BMW 5 Series is just a few years old since its 2009 debut, but the Bavarians are already preparing to put the model out to pasture. Here's our first glimpse at the production bodywork for the next-gen sedan after spotting the wagon version during testing – twice. While the cladding and swirling camouflage make specific details difficult to discern, it doesn't look like we should expect any massive changes in design language from the new model. The nose appears to dip a bit more at the tip of the front end, but otherwise there's no way to mistake this as anything other than a 5 Series. Squint hard enough at the front left fender and you can notice what seems to be a small door. Our spies think that this might be hiding the charging port for a plug-in hybrid version. While the styling doesn't appear to be changing much, the next 5er reportedly has a new platform underneath the skin that supposedly will help it shed around 220 pounds. The debut for this lighter but likely similar looking BMW is expected sometime in 2016.

BMW recalling 140,000 electric Mini Cooper SEs for battery issue

Tue, Sep 3 2024

BERLIN — German automaker BMW is recalling electric Mini Cooper SE vehicles due to problems in their batteries, which could potentially affect more than 140,000 autos worldwide.  Included in the recall are 12,535 Mini SEs sold in the United States. Around 39,000 vehicles could be affected in Germany, the company said in a statement on Monday, adding that there are no known accidents or injuries caused by the problem. Problems in the battery system can lead to overheating. "A vehicle fire, even when the vehicle is parked, cannot be ruled out," the statement said. There was such a "thermal event" in the U.S. in October 2023, then another in Germany in January 2024. Both have been under investigation. BMW will install a software update in the EVs. The update contains a diagnostic function that will recognize a malfunction of the battery and alerts the driver. The NHTSA recall statement says the software will then somehow discharge the battery to less than a 30% state of charge. Customers who received the message are asked to visit a Mini partner, the company said.

Are you a BMW M4 GTS track car in disguise?

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

BMW is always happy to extract a little bit more gumption out of its M cars, just look at the latest 30th anniversary M5 or even the earlier CSL variants of the M3 for proof. Now, It looks like we might be getting the first glimpse of an even hotter M4, and it's wearing very interesting livery.
Our spies recently shot this M4 that could preview a future GTS version. It's all done up in MotoGP decals, but that might just be a ruse. This car sports a camouflaged lower air dam and rear wing, but those parts don't appear to be from an actual series safety car. The chin spoiler seems larger, and the rear wing is completely different. You can also spot an obvious Recaro logo on the driver's seat in one of the photos. Plus, the BMW emblem is removed at the back.
The disguised changes and odd choice of decals make this prototype incredibly weird. A BMW exec said at the beginning of the year that there were "no plans whatsoever to make a lighter, harder version just yet," of the M3 or M4, despite earlier rumors to the contrary. Check out the gallery to see what you think this is.
