I'm doing the unthinkable, selling the one car I thought I was going to keep for years to come, needs change, expenses go up and unfortunately for me this amazing car must go…

The car is perfect, I bought it brand new and took great care of it from the moment I drove it off showroom. I adhered to the proper break in steps and always made sure it got the best care it deserved. It does not have a single door ding, scratch, chip or any other blemish. Here are some facts about this remarkable car for those of you whom may not be familiar with it;

- Only 200 of these were ever made.

- I believe about 30 to 40 were in 6 speed manual.

- The E92 was the last of M3 coupes and perhaps only M3 that will ever be fitted with a V8 engine.

- It's the opinion of many experts that this M3 generation will be one of very few modern cars to become future classic,

- Out of all the 2008 to 2013 M3 production run, ONLY 200 were like this, this makes the car rarest of a future classic and in my opinion one of the best M3s ever made.

- Here is your chance to own this wonderful car, I'm sure I will regret selling it in the future.

This Lime Rock is all stock with exception of the 20 inch Vorsteiner Technik Performance wheels fitted with 285/30 ZR20 Michelins in rear and 255/30 ZR 20s in front, tires have over 80% thread.

Factory options are;

- Lime Rock package ( Orange paint, black Novillo leather interior, Titanium sport exhaust, flat bottom Alcantara steering wheel, carbon fiber rear spoiler and front spoiler lips).

- Competition package( Dynamic Damper Control, carbon fiber roof).

- Cold weather package ( front heated seats, Ski bag, retractable headlight washers).

- Premium package( Power folding mirrors, universal garage opener, comfort access, power rear shade, park distance control, Navigation system, Voice command, real time traffic info).

- Carbon leather trim.

- Certificate of authenticity signed head of BMW M division and head of BMW NA.

- Here is a very cool fact about this car, BMW originally sent two copies of the certificate of authenticity with an error in the VIN!! They sent two other copies later with correct VIN, I have all the copies, this is probably the only one with two wrong COAs and two correct ones, very cool.

- The Vorsteiners are forged, set retails for almost $8K.

- Much much more..

In the interest of full disclosure I need to mention the front right rim has a one inch curb rash ( pictured). I had the clear front bra installed when I bought the car and a few weeks ago I noticed two small tares, there are no damages to the paint, looks like the clear bra did it's job. The rear wheels rub a bit at freeway speed if there is a medium or large dip, although this is not causing any damage to the car but it should be noted.

I really hate having to sell this car and I hope someone else can appreciate it and keep it for a long time as I know it will become a sought after BMW. I might consider a trade of a clean low milage E30 325is with 5 speed or an M roadster.

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions.

BMW i8 added to exotic Dubai police fleet

Thu, Mar 12 2015

Apparently the Dubai Police is ready to start expanding its vast collection of exotic cars yet again. After taking a little while off from new purchases, the cops there recently added a Lexus RC F to the stable, and now the force has gone green – well, kind of. The latest high-performance vehicle to wear the green and white livery is a BMW i8. While the video above isn't in English, the clip is self-explanatory by showing off officials getting out of the high-performance hybrid coupe and taking a walk around it. With a total output of a mere 357 horsepower, the i8 is practically the economy entry in the Dubai Police fleet that includes a Bugatti Veyron and McLaren MP4-12C.

Next BMW M5 could go all-wheel drive

Wed, Jan 14 2015

Franciscus van Meel had been a part of Audi AG management since 1996, in positions including chassis development and vehicle project director. In 2012 he was named managing director of Quattro GmbH - headquarters for personal favorites like the RS6 Avant and R8 - but he lasted just two years before being sent to lead an R&D division in Beijing. He returned from exile just ten months later but wearing a blue and white roundel, after being named to the top spot at BMW M. So it shouldn't be a surprise that when Auto Express asked van Meel about all-wheel drive on the next M5, he replied, "If we continue the power increases in the future... then probably the next generation M5 and M6 will have so much torque and power that we need to think about those solutions." It would make sense from a competitive standpoint, too - once the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG went 4Matic, that put the two of the three cars in the segment in the AWD column. And there's no "if" about a power increase: a recent report put next generation's output at 600 hp - that's 40 hp more than today - to power a lighter car. That report said there'd be the option of four-wheel drive, but AE takes van Meel's words as a definite sign that we'll see a more complex drive arrangement under the next M5. If so, then truth be told, van Meel is reiterating the thoughts of his predecessor from two years ago. The new M boss doesn't like the phrase "four-wheel drive," however; in clarifying those "solutions" he mentioned, he said that the car would be rear-biased to remain emotional, with the front tires kicking in to aid traction.

BMW recalling a grand total of three X3s over instrument panel defect

Wed, 18 Dec 2013

We've seen big recalls and we've seen small ones. Some involve millions of vehicles, and some - like the Infiniti Q50 recall on which we reported just the other day - involve just a couple dozen. But this has to be the smallest recall we've seen yet.
"Due to a production process error" in the BMW X3, states the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the notice below, "the team seam on the instrument panel was not manufactured correctly." Big friggin' whoop, you say? Well, NHTSA points out that it could hinder the deployment of the airbag and send fractures flying everywhere.
The problem was discovered in a select few examples of the 2013 BMW X3 - both xDrive 28i and 35i models - manufactured in the later part of February this year. And by "select few," we literally mean a few - as in three. Three examples are being recalled. If you happen to be one of those three owners, expect to hear from your local dealership.
