The car is a wonderful machine that handles beautifully and has loads of power. It really needs struts/shocks, so it handles more like a Ford than an M3 right now. See the youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEyH8gS0s8c The end of the video shows the great acceleration. The Alpine head unit, Pioneer amp and MB quart speakers give a great sound. It has XM and the head unit can play WMA or MP3 CDs. Mounts are installed so a V1 radar detector and the remote display just slide in with no wiring needed. All systems work. I'm an engineer and am quite particular about everything working. There was no smoking in the car. Stellar BMWSTX remote door opener, alarm, and window closer.
Within the last year the following has been replaced: steering rack with reservoir, tie rods, one injector, 2 oxygen sensors, 2 tires (now 95% front, 30% rear), RF wheel bearing, LF spring, thermostat, fan clutch, plugs, and control arm bushings.
The compression and fuel pressure are within spec. The short term fuel adjustment tracks well with the oxygen sensor readings. Mobil 1 in crankcase, Red Line in tranny and dif.
I purchased the M3 on eBay in 2004. The rear bumper cover was scratched and repaired. That was the only ding I had in the 9 years.
The buyer is responsible for shipping from Clarksville, Tennessee. Contact me at 931-561-8346 if you wish to drive it before bidding.

2014 BMW 4 Series Convertible [w/video]
Thu, 20 Feb 2014Here it is, the fifth generation of BMW's 3 Series Convertible - only this one begins with a "4," having been rechristened as a droptop version of the new 4 Series Coupe. With thirty years of work on this same recipe and having gotten it so right for much of that time, the Munich compact premium convertible has been a WYSIWYG affair for decades: once you saw its sedan paradigm, you knew what it was going to look like in roofless two-door form, and what you saw is exactly what you got.
It is ridiculous to think that BMW would choose this new model and its new nomenclature to muck things up. The new car has, though, gotten larger and roomier, and even though it's now part of the racier coupe division within the company's compact line, it has gotten more, shall we say, mature. Driving even further away from the days when handsomely tipped bartenders could work their way into one, The Ultimate Tanning Machine had shed even more elan, going instead for elegance and an attitude befitting its $49,675 starting price (including $925 for destination).
It strikes a few odd notes, but what it does best, it still does better than anything else out there in its price range.
BMW 1 Series with B38 three-cylinder engine
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Downsizing For BMW's Front-Wheel-Drive And i Futures
Output is quoted at 175 horsepower and BMW says it will hit 62 mph in 7.0 seconds.
The red five-door BMW 1 Series seen in this photo gallery has little to do with what is actually of importance here. What we've just tested at an airfield not far from Munich, Germany, is a new 1.5-liter TwinPower Turbo inline three-cylinder gas engine that we'll be hearing an awful lot about in the coming few years.
BMW i3 EV continues to shed camouflage
Thu, 11 Apr 2013As BMW gets closer to introducing the production version of its plug-in i3, we keep seeing the hatchback being tested with lessening degrees of design-obscuring camouflage. Last we heard, BMW is expecting to have the i3 ready by the end of this year, and the swirly, blue camo does little to hide its basic design in these latest spy shots.
We get our first clear look at almost everything above the wavy beltline including the silver roof edges and matching mirror caps, and it can't hide the dip in the beltline behind the B-pillar - matching what we've already seen on the i3 Coupe Concept unveiled at the LA Auto Show last year. Another change we notice is the lower portion of camo removed from the front fascia allowing us to see the air opening and the black, vertical inserts leading up to the fog light bezels. Judging by the "Hybrid Test Vehicle" stickers on the side of this prototype, we can only assume that this is the optional range-extended model.
