Immaculate Bmw M3 E46 Dinan Supercharged Convertible $22000+ Spent On Upgrades! on 2040-cars
Charlotte, North Carolina, United States
Here is a chance to own a rare 6 speed manual transmission BMW M3 E46 with Dinan stage 3 supercharger plus lots of other Dinan goodies. The supercharger is no longer available to this model M3 making this set up even more rare and hard to find. The car is very well sorted, garage kept, adult owned and meticulously maintained. The body exterior and convertible top are basically flawless and the interior looks almost new. Everything cosmetically is original and even the driver seat still looks great. $22000+ has been spent on DINAN parts (fully documented) to upgrade the performance of this BMW. I have set what I feel to be a REASONABLE RESERVE on this car. TO VIEW OVER 50 HIGH DETAIL PHOTOS OF THE CAR, CLICK ON THIS LINK: AND CLICK ON “VIEW ALBUM” I've owned this supercharged M3 Dinan for the past 5 1/2 years and the car has been solid and reliable. I've had no problems whatsoever. Every switch, gauge, gadget, etc, aftermarket or factory are in perfect working order. All maintenance is up to date. It's been one of the most reliable cars I've owned. I've always been a BMW enthusiast and have owned 6 BMWs over the years. The car has always been adult owned and driven. I have a clear, lien free North Carolina title in hand for the car. The exterior is Imola red and as far as I know, only available to the M3 and not the regular 3 series. The leather heated seats are nearly mint and have never been "restored" or dyed like most of the dealers do. The car is tight, handles very well, doesn't rattle or burn or leak any oil. The steering is smooth and doesn't shake or pull. Power is excellent and comes on strong with the boost. IN OTHER WORDS, the car runs and drives like new (actually, better than new.) The car has all factory options offered when new. I have a full carfax report on hand as well as documentation for maintenance and upgrades. I’m including a nice BMW matching key fob and BMW touch up paint as well. On the carfax report, a minor accident was reported back in 2008. I questioned this when I purchased the car and found out that it was simply a front bumper cover replaced due to a small incident while the car was being test driven at the dealership. I can’t tell that any work was done, though. No bondo anywhere, just bolt on. Everything lines up perfectly. All gaps, etc are perfect. This was a very well done repair. The body is extremely nice and the only “flaws” that I can find are some small stone chips on the lower front spoiler, most of which, I’ve touched up. This is typical wear for the age of the car. You’re welcome to stop by and test drive / inspect the car during the auction or set up an appointment to have a mechanic of your choice inspect the car at your expense. I’m selling the car as is in sound condition and it would be your responsibility to check everything out in person if you wish. Again, the car has a clear title in my name. I’m a private seller, not a dealer. This car has been my baby. I’ve set a REASONABLE RESERVE ON THE CAR. E46 M3's are getting rarer and hard to find in this condition. I’ll do my best to answer any questions accurately and as quickly as possible. Overall, its an exceptionally nice car and in my opinion, would be hard to find a nicer E46. A $500 deposit is due within 24 hours of auction’s end. Full payment is due within 7 days of auction’s end by certified cashier's check or cash. If you bid and win the auction, please be prepared to make payment and pick up the car. By winning this auction, you have entered into a contract to buy the car. I have the right to refuse bids from bidders with no or low feedback ratings. The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to sell and stop the auction if sold locally. It is my intent to let the auction run until the end, though. I can help with shipping if the winning bidder needs assistance. THANKS FOR LOOKING!

The 570-hp AC Schnitzer ACL2 Concept tries to one-up the M2
Wed, Mar 2 2016AC Schnitzer's new ACL2 concept aims to outdo the BMW M2 at the Geneva Motor Show. To out-muscle the latest M car, the German tuner starts with an M235i and installs the M4's 3.0-liter inline-six. The company also turns up the power to 570 horsepower – a healthy upgrade over 365 hp from the M2's 3.0-liter. The power bump lets the ACL2 reach 62 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and hit a top speed of 205 miles per hour, AC Schnitzer claims. Those figures make the coupe a few tenths quicker than the M2's 4.2-second to 60 mph sprint, but BMW limits its creation to 155 mph. AC Schnitzer's long list of upgrades makes the impressive performance possible. To get the most out of the engine, the company installs a carbon fiber intake. It also replaces the most of the exhaust, including the downpipe, catalytic converter and tailpipes. Carbon-ceramic brake discs make sure a driver can control so much power, and the company fits a fully adjustable suspension to aid handling. The ACL2's body is too loud for our tastes even through the subdued dark green paint, but the extensive use of carbon fiber parts should keep weight down. AC Schnitzer adds a road-scraping front splitter with canards at each corner. The rear has a similarly aggressive diffuser and huge wing. The wider fenders also add 5.5 inches to the coupe's width, and 20-inch wheels sit underneath them. The ACL2 doesn't get to challenge the M2 on the Autobahn yet because AC Schnitzer says it's just a concept. The coupe exists simply for the company's product development. However, if you want to put all of these bits together, the final cost would be 149,000 euros ($161,500 at current exchange rates), the tuner claims. Related Video:
2024 CES Mega Photo Gallery: Honda concepts, a VinFast truck and flying cars galore
Thu, Jan 11 2024The 2024 rendition of CES is coming to a close, and per usual, it was full of all the funky, futuristic tech the show is long known for. It’s also full of cars and legitimately forward-thinking tech related to cars, and we were on the ground to see it all and bring photos to you in this Mega Gallery. A boatload of manufacturers attended and made big reveals, from the Star Wars-like Honda concept cars to a pickup truck from VinFast, the sort of debuts we got to see ran the gamut. Of course, there were plenty of reveals and vehicles on the floor that were even more outlandish than concepts from traditional OEMs like Honda and Mercedes. Check out this flying Xpeng car as an example. Or perhaps the flying Mansory car. Apparently, flying cars were a theme. Anyway, make sure you scroll down to check out the various reveals and photos of the cars and technologies revealed at the 2024 CES in our barrage of galleries.

BMW 1 Series GT spied in 7-seat trim
Mon, 20 May 2013As BMW prepares to introduce its first-ever front-wheel drive car, the upcoming 1 Series GT, it looks like there will be at least two versions of the car. A conventional-looking hatchback was spotted testing late last year, but now we see an extended-length version in order to accommodate a third row of seats.
Judging by these spy shots, this 1 Series GT prototype has received an extended wheelbase, larger rear doors and more upright D-pillars compared to our previous spy shots (show in the gallery below) all with the aim of creating additional passenger and cargo space. Like the smaller 1 Series GT, this longer model would likely carry over the same powertrain options, which are expected to consist of three- and four-cylinder engines, a hybrid system and the choice of front- or all-wheel drive. The 1 Series GT could make its debut this fall at the Frankfurt Motor Show, but we might have to wait until next year to see the people mover.
