2002 Bmw M3 61000 Low Miles - Carbon Black Smg Never Driven In Winter on 2040-cars

Year:2002 Mileage:61129
Location:

2002 BMW M3 - No issues! Clean and clear title. First off this car has never been driven when there is salt on the road, I just took it out of storage for the first time today. I usually wait until May but it was a perfect day and I had some free time. There are some minor dings here and there along with paint chips and the bottom of the front bumper has some spider cracking. The car has never been in an accident. It was scraped (front fender) in previous owners driveway. We do have the paperwork for the paint work. There are no mechanical issues at all. I have owned the car for about 4 years now and the only times it's been in the shop are for oil changes. I get at least one a year even though I only drive a couple thousand miles. These are all done at Cantech Automotive. I also have all service records from the previous owner. Last fall I did put new OEM spec rear brake rotors and pads on. I went through the complete seating process and they work great. The fronts still have plenty of life. I spent a lot of time looking for this M3. As you know, a lot of these have been beat on. This one has not. I never drove it hard, and it was clearly not driven hard by the previous owner. When I do store it in the winter I park the tires on cardboard and carpet and also over inflate the tires to avoid flat spots. I fill the gas tank all the way up with ethanol free fuel, I use only ethanol free in this by the way. I put fuel stable in, and put it on a controlled trickle charge (new battery last year). I also put fridge pack baking soda boxes in to avoid dampness. The tires have about 5000 miles on them and have never been patched. They are: Rear: Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110 275/30R19XL 96Y SBL Front: 2 Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110 245/35R19XL 93Y SBL The car came with the following options: Carbon Black Winter Weather Package - includes heated seats and ski pass through rear seat Navigation 6 Disc Changer - has been removed, still have. It does work great. SMG 6 Speed Transmission Power Seats with Driver Memory Reverse warning sensors I have added the following: Borla Exhaust 140034 Cat-Back System ($1,200) - muffler and tail pipe system. There are about 4,000 miles on it. Included in sale is the original muffler and tailpipes and there are no issues with it. Dice Mediabridge 1500 ($200) - allows bluetooth and ipod hookup right through aux button on radio. This works very well. Has USB hookup, aux 1/8" hookup, and another hookup for USB drive. This hooks up through the CD changer so that has been removed. I only use my ipod anyway. Macht Schnell silicone air intake charge pipe ($90) - Included in sale is the original. BSW Subwoofer box with integrated amplifier ($650) - fits under package tray, drastically improves base. Included in sale are the original woofers. BSW Front Midrange & Tweeter ($250) - Included in sale are the originals. Carbon fiber rear diffuser ($350) - Included in sale is the original LED Rear Taillights ($250) - Included in sale are the originals LED Angel Eyes ($150) - These don't replace anything but look great. Eurotray ($45) - This replaces the cupholder and I use it to store my ipod and the bluetooth hookup. Included in sale is the original cup holder. Avant Garde Type M310 Wheels Hyper Silver ($1000) If you're still with me...only available for showing when it's not raining. No test drives unless you're very serious and the roads are dry, you won't be disappointed. I think this is it. If you have any other questions please just ask.

 There is also a ridge in the windshield at about the end of where the wiper blade would travel, it's faint but it seems like the metal end may have bent under at one time and scored it.

Are you the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe?

Fri, 31 Jan 2014

Thanks to Austrian website Autofilou (via Jalopnik), we now have our first look at what appears to be the upcoming BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe - the four-door version of the new 4 Series coupe, which itself is based on the 3 Series sedan. Makes total sense, right?
Nevertheless, in our First Drive of the 4 Series coupe, we found it to be a much more engaging experience than the 3 Series on which its based. And if this new 4GC follows in those footsteps, it could prove to be a better 3 Series sedan than, well, the 3 Series sedan.
Expect the 4 Series Gran Coupe to come in 428i and 435i flavors, with a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four in the base car and a 3.0-liter turbo-six in the higher-end model. Of course, BMW will likely bring a range-topping M4 Gran Coupe to market not long thereafter.

BMW to change model designations, further yet from actual displacement?

Sat, 12 Jul 2014

Once upon a time, you could look at the back of a trunk lid of a BMW and come up with a pretty fair idea of what sat under its hood. For example, a 320i was a 3 Series with a fuel-injected, 2.0-liter engine, a 328i was a 3 Series with a fuel-injected, 2.8-liter engine and a 328Ci was a two-door 3 Series with the same engine. Those were good days.
Today, though, that simplicity is dead and gone. A 328i now has a 2.0-liter engine, just like the 320i, while the simple "C" designation that was affixed to two-door models has been replaced with a "4," so we have a 428i and a 435i. It gets worse, though. A 550i uses a 4.4-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 (it should be a 544ti, although we'd be willing to hear an argument for "tti") and a 740i uses a 3.0-liter, turbocharged six-cylinder, which is the same engine found in a 535i. It's madness.
And, well, it's about to get madder, if a post on a BMW enthusiast forum is to be believed. According to f30post.com, we could see a shakeup in at least the 3 and 4 Series nomenclature, thanks to an impending refresh that will see the addition of new, turbocharged four- and six-cylinder engines, codenamed B48 and B58, respectively.

BMW i3 EV continues to shed camouflage

Thu, 11 Apr 2013

As 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.
