The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Very good condition. Paint shows normal stone pits and minor scratching. There is a small crease on the passenger front fender (deer strike) and some small door dings. One of the side skirts has a deep scratch about 1" long. The wood veneer on the center console cracked in several places but still looks OK."
I'm selling my 1996 M3, Cosmos Black with black leather and 155,000 miles with 5 speed manual. This is a luxury package car which means sport seats, some wood and chrome trim, and non-twisty side skirts. I am the second owner, having bought this car Certified Pre-Owned back in January 1999; I've owned this car for over 14 years and have maintained it very well.
The car is mechanically in excellent condition. Everything works like it should with the single exception of the sunroof tilt feature; that still tilts, but the inside panel isn't moving with it so it won't vent; this started after I replaced the headliner and I assume I forgot to hook something up. It's probably an easy fix but I haven't found the time to fix it.
Mods are very limited: Koni SA shocks, Powerflex control arm bushings front and rear, VDO Gauges (Oil Pressure, Oil Temperature, Volts), HID Low Beams in glass lenses (can't remember which brand - been too long), keyless entry, Euro wiper control module (sets intermittent wiper interval), BSW Speakers front and rear (Stage 2), OMP aluminum pedal covers, and I modified the stock radio to accept an iPod, etc. via an auxiliary cable that comes out of the center console.
The car does have a 6 CD changer, but I removed it from the trunk to make more room. It will be included in the sale.
The interior including the leather seats are in above average condition. There is very little bolster wear and no rips or tears. I have religiously treated the leather since I have owned the car. There is a worn spot on the steering wheel that was there when I bought the car and the wood on the center console is cracked in two spots. On the exterior, there are what I would call normal paint chips and scratches, and several small parking lot dings. There is a crease on the passenger front fender where I hit a deer last year.
Recent mechanical work: I replaced the clutch at 135,000 miles, and the starter and rear shock mounts at 150,000 miles. I have always run Mobil 1 in the engine. It burns about a quart of oil every 1,000 miles which BMW calls normal. I have all the maintenance records that I have kept in a book and most of the receipts. All preventative maintenance is up to date.
Tires: The rears are nearly new Continental Extreme Contact DWS and have plenty of tread left. The fronts are Dunlop SP Sport Signatures.
Clean title in hand, all keys (Lighted Key, Spare Key, Valet Key, Wallet key)

BMW i8 added to exotic Dubai police fleet
Thu, Mar 12 2015Apparently 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.

Audi to spend $17 billion to fight BMW
Sat, 29 Dec 2012It's no secret that VW Group, parent company to not only Volkswagen but also Audi, Bugatti, Bentley, Lamborghini, Porsche and Ducati brands sold in the US, is determined to become the world's largest automaker. Even more impressive is that VW is prepared to spend billions to make it happen.
With that comes word that VW Group will be spending $17 billion on its Audi brand over the next three years to push itself above rival BMW. The money will be invested in both vehicle development (including lightweight auto design and alternative powertrains) and facilities (including expansion in Hungary, China and new operations in Mexico). The luxury brand is focused on global manufacturing infrastructure.
Already Europe's best-selling luxury brand, Audi's objective is to overtake BMW by the end of the decade by selling more than two million cars per year (BMW is shooting for 1.54 million sales in 2013). If those objectives are met, VW Group should be on track to be the industry's volume leader by 2018.
Recharge Wrap-up: BMW i app for Apple Watch, Tesla certified pre-owned web page
Mon, Apr 27 2015BMW has introduced ConnectedDrive and BMW i remote apps for the Apple Watch. The apps can show users battery and charging status, give service alerts, and control certain vehicle functions from the wearer's wrist. It can tell the owner if the doors are locked, or if the sunroof or trunk is open. Users can activate the climate control remotely from their watch, or honk the horn to help find the car in a crowded parking lot. It can even guide the owner back to the car using the navigation system. Read more in BMW's press release below. Higher octane gasoline could provide better fuel economy. According to a panel at the SAE World Congress that included folks from Ford, General Motors, Chevron and an ethanol group, a higher-octane fuel could boost fuel economy by three to six percent and reduce CO2 emissions by two percent. While higher octane fuel is more expensive, building cars calibrated to higher octane ratings could help automakers raise fuel economy and meet CAFE standards. Cars not calibrated to the higher octane levels would likely not see any significant benefit in fuel economy. Read more from Automotive News. Tesla Motors has added a Certified Pre-Owned section to its website. Tesla didn't make any announcement before it quietly added the CPO page. The used Model S electric cars sold by Tesla include a warranty good for four years or 50,000 miles. Plus, the cars have been inspected by technicians at Tesla to make sure everything is in working order and up to company standards. Explore the page yourself, and read more at Teslarati. BMW ConnectedDrive and BMW i Remote app. World premiere: Apple Watch controls functions of BMW i models. Munich. BMW is pressing its claim to automotive brand leadership in the world of mobile vehicle connectivity through its BMW ConnectedDrive technology. As the BMW i Remote app confirms, nowhere else is the link-up of driver, car and outside world raised to such an advanced level. The app can already be used to remotely check and control functions of BMW i models. It is an application that customers will also be able to use from day one on the new Apple Watch, due for imminent release. Apple Watch uses the BMW i Remote app – which can be downloaded free from the Apple iTunes Store – to keep users updated on the car's current battery status, for example, and alert them when the high-voltage unit is fully charged.
