For sale is my beloved 02 M3, I have a 6 month old and another one on the way. So, I unfortunately have to sell to get a 4 door. It has been meticulously cared for by me and the sole previous owner. 

Small back story, my family owns (where I work) a German auto repair facility in New Orleans. So all work has been done by me and my father, using only OEM parts or better.

My intent was to restore it to look and feel brand new because the e46 has been my favorite car for a while and I was too young to afford it when it was new. I did almost the entire interior, most of the suspension components, brakes, and new engine gaskets and seals.


Interior:

 The car comes equipped from the factory with:
-heated seats
-electric adjustment w/ for/aft, lumbar, etc
-Harmon / Kardon sound system
-Weather Tech Digifit Floormats (purchased new on 10/13)
-oem zhp weighted shift knob
-ultra white led light kit in all the interior lights 

The interior plastics have been replaced all within the last 3 months with brand new factory pieces:
-all center console pieces
-ash tray
-pocket
-cup holder
-arm rest
-all with zero nicks or scratches - the interior looks brand new
-trim has been painted oem titanium silver to match car
-the door cards are flawless
-passenger seat and rear seats are immaculate
-driver seat has small wear from getting in and out - no tears/rips/etc 


Suspension / Brakes / Wheels:

I installed Turner Motorsport drilled rotors front and rear w/ ceramic pads January 2013, virtually zero dust. Looks Great - low maintenance - excellent performance.

In March and April, I replaced all the front bushings, rear trailing arm bushings with the urethane limiters, upper strut mounts, strut bearings, rear strut mounts, and all components associated with shocks and springs. That was done when I installed H&R sport springs and Koni yellow shocks. When I did that I also installed 18x8.5 and 18x10 BBS RXII wheels, refinished right before installation - polished lips and centers refinished in BMW DGII (dark graphite metallic) and wrapped in Bridgestone RE760s.

-H&R Sport Springs (3/2013)
-Koni Yellow Adjustable Shocks (3/2013)
-Front / Rear Strut / Shock Mounts (3/2013)
-BBS RXII (2-Piece) 18x8.8 , 18x10 refinished with BMW Dark Graphite Metallic and Polished Lips (3/2013)
-Bridgestone RE760 Sport Tires (3/2013)
-Rear Trailing Arm Bushings (3/2013)
-Front Control Arm Bushings / All Swaybar Bushings (4/2013)
-Engine/Transmission Mount (6/2011)
-Guibo (6/2011) 

All the corner markers and turn signals are new OEM amber ones, except tails which are OEM non led clear and red, all bulbs are the "no show" chrome bulbs.

Exterior paint has zero scratches or dings except the typical pepper on the hood and bumper, I have the hood and bumper scheduled to be painted 2nd week of January. If the car goes for the buy it now price I will get it painted at no additional cost to the buyer, so at that point the exterior will show zero scratches or dents/dings. (that process will take 3-4 days).The car gets clayed once and year, and waxed twice a year.


Engine:

Engine and exhaust are stock with zero oil/fluid leaks.

Engine is strong with recent services within last 9 months of:

Green Performance Air Filter
Valve Adjustment
Spark plugs
A/C cabin filter
6 ignition coils
Valve cover gasket
Oil relief valve
Front crank seal
Oil pan gasket
New starter
New battery 
Alternator (November 12')
Transmission fluid service
Rear end oil service

- probably forgetting something - but I have all the service records dating back to at least '08

Vanos and rod bearing service has both been completed (rod bearing done in '04) by previous owner.

Never Tracked or Wrecked!!!! Zero Subframe Issues!!!!

Over $7K spent in wheels, struts/shocks, springs, and brakes in the last year.

Buy with full confidence.

Car will receive a full detail before delivery.

If necessary, please contact me through ebay. Then we can exchange phone numbers to get into a more detailed conversation.

Did BMW really win the luxury car sales race?

Sun, Feb 14 2016

As anyone who follows our monthly By The Numbers series already knows, the luxury car sales race in the United States was close all of last year as BMW, Lexus and Mercedes-Benz seesawed up and down for sales supremacy. At the end of the year, it was BMW on top of the standings with 346,023 total sales. Or was it? According to data released by Polk, comparing the actual number of vehicles registered between the three top luxury players in the US paints a slightly different picture. Polk's data suggests that only 335,259 BMWs were registered in 2015, compared to 340,392 Lexus models. Why the disparity? It's all a matter of timing. Actual end consumers buy new cars, in almost all cases, from a franchised dealer. BMW delivered 346,023 vehicles in 2015, but only 335,259 of them were registered by their new owners. Presumably, those 11,000 BMWs did (or will) end up registered in the driveways of consumers, but they hadn't before January 1, 2016. Lexus General Manager Jeff Bracken wrote in an email to Automotive News, "Luxury sales leadership as measured by vehicle registrations is important to Lexus as it represents actual consumers engaging directly with our dealers." Of course, it goes without saying that we'll be paying keen attention to the 2016 luxury car sales race as it unfolds. If it's anything like it was in 2015, it'll come down to the wire, and even then may not be entirely clear.

What does the open patents deal mean for Tesla ... and BMW?

Sat, Jun 14 2014

Gift to the world or trade bait? Tesla Motors announced this week it would open its patents for other automakers to use. That has analysts guessing whether the California-based electric-vehicle maker is looking to either swap trade secrets with other automakers or to expand the proverbial pie that represents the plug-in vehicle market. For its part, Tesla says the answer is B. BMW, which is establishing its i sub-brand of plug-in vehicles, would be a natural collaborator with Tesla, Forbes says. In fact, executives from the two companies met in Europe this week. Details were not released, but a BMW spokesman said, "Both companies are strongly committed to the success of electromobility and discussed how to further strengthen the development of electromobility on an international level." While Tesla brings battery technology to the table, BMW offers its carbon-fiber advancements that lighten vehicle-body weight. Those advancements are key to range-extending efforts and could do wonders for Tesla on its journey to help spur technology for the sake of getting more of the general public to accept plug-in technology as a viable first-car option. Then again, Forbes says Tesla, whose investors include Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler and Toyota, may be keeping its best technologies to itself by not patenting certain advancements at all. What's in Tesla's patent pool? uAutoInsurance analyzed Tesla's 249 patents and found that 104 of them related to battery technology, while 28 pertained to recharging activity, which wasn't surprising (about a quarter of those 249 patents couldn't readily be categorized). Tesla also has nine patents related to sunroof technology. The company is based in California, after all.

BMW has announced updates to the 6 Series lineup today, including a special "Frozen" edition of the convertible, and a 640i Gran Coupe in all-wheel-drive trim.
