You’re looking at a 2002 Titansilber Metallic/Imola Red BMW E46 M3 Coupe.  This car was originally manufactured in 11/01 at the Regensburg, Germany factory and purchased new from Ralph Schomp BMW in Denver, CO.  It remained in Denver until the beginning of this year when it came to southern New Mexico.  This is an extremely clean Mountain West/Desert Southwest non-smoker car.  It currently serves as my daily driver and I’ve had no issue with it.  Ithas always been garaged and is in beautiful condition!  I’m selling it because I now need a truck.   

If you’re specifically looking for an E46 you already know how awesome these cars are.  For those who may not be a familiar with it, the E46 was developed as an evolutionary replacement for the BMW E36 chassis and is the fourth generation of the 3 Series compact executive cars produced by BMW.  The E46 M3, first introduced in October 2000, appeared worldwide with the new 3.2 L S54 M-tuned engine. At the time of the car's introduction, this engine had the highest specific output naturally aspirated of any engine ever made by BMW (except in the McLaren F1).  Here are some general specs if interested:

·         333 hp (248 kW; 338 PS)

·         Torque: 262 lb·ft (355 N·m)

·         0-60 mph (97 km/h) — 4.6 s for SMG

·         1/4 mile – Coupe: 13.0 s @ 104 mph (167 km/h)

·         Top speed – Coupe: 155 mph (250 km/h) (electronically limited), 170 mph (270 km/h) (delimited)

·         Skid pad – Coupe: 0.89 g  

I’ve included the VIN (WBSBL934X2JR14099) if you'd like to decode it or running the carfax. The car is in amazing condition for its age, but there are a few things that need to be mentioned. I'm not a fan of surprises, so I'd hate to do that to you.  

Exterior: The paint is not sun damaged and the clearcoat is shiny.  There are a few rock chips on the hood which have been touched up.  I recently picked up a rock in the windshield, so that needs to be replaced.  Also, there is one minor dent on the driver side front fender flare.  All of this is shown in the pictures.  I’m happy to answer any questions, but in general the exterior is in great condition.    

Interior: Leather is in great shape.  The only notable item is some MINOR wear on the driver side seat leading edge from getting in/out of the car.  No cracks, fade, or abnormal wear.

Mechanical: This car is all original with no aftermarket modifications…bone stock.  Always maintained per the manual.  No ominous dash lights remain continuously on.  Regular oil changes with mfg recommended Castrol Synthetic.  The car has laser sharp handling and is generally very tight all the way around.

All pictures were taken the day before this listing was posted and reflect the current condition of the car.

BMW profit of $2.7B is down as automaker invests to keep luxury lead

Fri, 02 Aug 2013


Despite selling 6.6-percent more vehicles - a record by volume - and posting higher revenues in the second quarter of 2013, BMW Group's profit of 2.07 million euros ($2.75 billion) is down 8.8 percent from last year. Investments in new technology (e.g. the new i3) and personnel, in addition to a competitive market, are to blame, BMW states. But the automaker remains committed to its fiscal targets for 2013, which, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG, Norbert Reithofer, says will be "on a similar scale to 2012."
The BMW brand's sales performance in the first half of the year, which increased by 7.7 percent to 804,258 vehicles delivered, was good enough for it to maintain its lead in the luxury market, narrowly beating Audi, which delivered 780,510 vehicles, Automotive News reports. Mercedes-Benz delivered 694,433 vehicles to cement third place.

Company car offers in decline, but not at The Cheesecake Factory [w/poll]

Sat, 22 Jun 2013

As businesses look to keep high-level employees happy, it seems that use of company cars can still be an effective method, although fewer companies are employing it. According to Businessweek, only about 25 percent of companies offer company vehicles as a perk, while less than half give allowances for employees to use their personal vehicles for work purposes.
The report says that one business still in the practice of handing out company cars is The Cheesecake Factory, which offers the benefit to top managers. And we're not talking about some econobox, either. The article indicates the restaurant chain hands out BMWs on a three-year basis - although the company's own report says that the type of vehicle "varies with the executive's level."
Still, we mostly agree with the article's conclusion that money is the best way to keep employees or attract new ones, even if a corporate car is a big perk. What do you think? Let us know, in the poll below, whether a company car could sway you to work for a certain company (not just the Cheesecake factory, where the "Glamburgers" portion of the menu alone is enough to keep a guy hanging around).

After that, they get into some news, talking about the new Lotus Emira and Genesis G80 Sport.
