The 2001 - 2002 BMW M roadster reads like a BMW greatest hits list. The S54 motor from the E46 M3. Semi-trailing arm rear suspension from the E30. Sport steering wheel from the E39 M5. Gearbox and brakes from the E36 M3. Add in a 3.15 limited slip differential and the updated DSC from the E46. Deep dark shadowline refinished M roadster wheels, a lowered stance, and an M-specific body to complete the look. With 315 hp, and over 300 lbs less than the 2001 M3, this car likes to run. Check the period reviews to see what I mean. This car is by far the most fun vehicle I have ever owned, It has never let me down in a single occasion, going to work, cross country drives, you name it. It is (almost) as content to idle down the road as it is to hustle down a back road. Everything, the controls, are tight and responsive. It makes any drive fun, even a long one. Twice, after an 800 mile drive I felt great and stepped out with a smile on my face, turning back to look at the car as it ticked cool.The silver with the red interior is a very special combination. I love the car and have really enjoyed it. Its takes premium, obviously, but has always returned better than expected fuel economy. The reason I am selling is that I find myself driving more and I hate to put so many miles on such a special car. I have all the maintenance receipts from my work and the previous owner's work. The car has been recently gone over by Harrison Motorsports in GA. They specialize in BMWs, lookup the shop. I have always kept the car clean, washed, and waxed. Included in the sale is the soft-top cover for when the top is down and a custom car cover. The car has: ***Reinforced subframe Fresh front brakes Recent oil change Tires probably have ~80% left Upgraded speakers New rear window New alternator Cosmetic refresh Areas of attention: There are a few scratches and chips throughout the car. I have tried to touch these up on the hood as pictured The car will need rear brakes in 10,000 miles or so These cars are known for cracking rear subframes. This car had this issue and I repaired it at a cost over $4,000...with Randy Forbes' kit. The repair was professionally done by Harrison Motorsports. The car is much stiffer after the repair and this cracking will never be an issue again. The potential issue is S54 motor rod bearings. These usually fail at low mileage. The motor in this car is outside the motor recall dates. I have always taken great car of the car to warm the car up properly (oil and coolant up to temp) every time I take it out. Basically, this car is ready for you to drive it like you stole it! That's honestly it! I am a Mechanical Engineer by training and own five bicycles currently and I have had a few motorbikes in the past. I have been a perfectionist about everything mechanical I own and this car is no exceptions. The car (his name is Sterling by the way) has been my baby and I get teased over the amount I obsess over it I don't have to sell it by any means and it will upset me to do so, but I guess it is time for me to be a bit more practical...

BMW M2, we're happy to see you
Wed, 03 Sep 2014I recently spent some time behind the wheel of the BMW M235i and, well, I didn't love it. Sure, it's a great car, but I just didn't truly bond with it the way I have with previous M cars. What I had hoped for was a proper successor to the 1 Series M Coupe I fell in love with in 2011, but what I got instead was just a sporty 2 Series that didn't exactly stir my emotions in the same way.
But now there's this: the honest-to-goodness BMW M2. Previously, spy photographers captured a development-mule M2, but this is the real thing, in its full prototype body. Notice the aggressive front fascia that mimics the M3/M4, the more more robust wheel/tire package, and the M-standard quad exhaust outlets around back. This thing sure does look the business.
Details are slim as of this writing, but rumors suggest power will come from BMW's now-ubiquitous N55 turbocharged 3.0-liter six, with output somewhere in the 360- to 380-horspower range. The seven-speed M dual-clutch transmission seems like a good fit here, too. As does a six-speed manual transmission (here's hoping).
BMW discussing new plant with Mexican authorities
Mon, 19 Aug 2013Drawn in by low wages and manufacturing costs, BMW could be the next automaker to set up a manufacturing facility in Mexico. Automotive News is reporting that the German automaker has had discussions with local Mexican governments regarding a possible assembly plant, but there is no word as to when a decision may come down. Last we heard, BMW was reportedly looking to build the 3 Series in Mexico.
A key determining factor for this new plant is a free-trade agreement between the US and Europe, which according to the article, would give BMW better "flexibility and cost structure" to open another plant in North America. In terms of luxury automakers, Audi is currently building a new plant in Mexico and Mercedes-Benz is considering opening one in conjunction with Nissan for the CLA-Class, and in the bigger picture, Honda and Mazda are also preparing to kick off vehicle production in Mexico.
Spirit Lake Cycles brings a new look to vintage BMW bikes
Wed, May 27 2015It doesn't take a lot of room to work on motorcycles. In fact, Spirit Lake Cycles, which gets the spotlight in the latest video from Petrolicious, started out of a kitchen. Now, this two-man operation has created a small business to bring a custom look to vintage BMWs. The company is best known for a bike that it calls the CBMW. Based on an R90/6, the name comes from the cycle's Honda-sourced fuel tank. The streamlined design and white pinstripes lend the look of one of the Bavarian brand's own early creations, but the chopped fenders and under-seat exhaust show a much more modern style. Spirit Lake Cycles doesn't always go for such a highly modified design, though. The other cycles that Petrolicous highlights, including a gorgeous BMW R90S, appear far closer to stock than the show bike. The company says its motorcycles are meant to be ridden, and you can see the proof of that in this video.
