I am selling my daily drivable Active Autowerke Stage 1.5 Supercharged 2002 BMW M3. It is in great condition without any issues whatsoever. If you are looking for a clean supercharged E46 M3 then you have found it. I bought this car a few years ago and brought it straight to the dealership to get it checked out. It was very well maintained by the previous owner and only needed a few basic service items that were all done at Braman BMW dealership in Miami. The exterior has a few rock chips as expected from highway driving. I just noticed the right front spot light lens has a crack(probably small rock chipped it on highway). The light works perfectly but the lens needs to be replaced. No big deal but I am trying to describe the car the best I can. The interior is in great shape. I changed a lot of the interior parts that tend to scratch on these BMW's such as door handles and the bezel around the shift knob. I replaced them with OEM BMW dealership replacement parts. It really is a clean looking car. I then proceeded to Active Autowerke where the no expense spared tuning started. Active Autowerke builds daily drivable reliable monsters and that is exactly what this M3 has become. Here are the list of parts that have been installed less than 2000 miles ago.

Active Autowerke M3 Headers: $ 1,900.00

I know for sure I am forgetting some parts and costs but this is what I can remember. All of these parts where installed by Active Autowerke Headquarters in Miami, Florida. For those of you who know BMW's and tuning, I do not need to explain what Active Autowerke is all about and how amazing their work is. For those that do not know, Active Autowerke is one of the best if not to say the best BMW tuning company in the United States for BMW's. Just take a look at their website. With quality comes a price. The purchasing and installation of all these parts at Active Autowerke has come at a great price to me. This is not a car that has been modified by some guy who does not know what he is doing. This is a professionally upgraded M3. It has been dyno tuned to over 500 hp. It is capable of much more with the upgrade kit to a full Stage 2 for not much money. All the parts that have been installed on the car are either new or less than 2000 miles old. I have receipts to prove it.
The reason the car has this little miles on it is because I live both in Florida and in the Caribbean. The car was actually shipped to the Caribbean for a car show and then shipped back to Florida after the show. Carfax will show this export/import. It is a clear title car with no mileage rollback or anything strange of that kind. I have not driven the car much. It is a garage queen and is only driven on weekends when I had the time. It truly is a blast to drive. As you might be able to see from the pictures, the car has just been at Active Autowerke Headquarters in Miami, Florida where it has just been serviced and is fully ready to go. The reason I am selling the car is because I have decided to move away from the BMW world and buy a Nissan GTR. There is a rather low reserve on this car so please only bid if you have the funds to pay. Please feel free to contact me to setup a viewing of the car. I will be in Florida all next week so feel free to call Alex (305)-301-1728.

2014 BMW 4 Series Convertible is easy, breezy, beautiful
Wed, 20 Nov 2013BMW debuted its 2014 4 Series Convertible today at the LA Auto Show, and the sporting two-door will feature a folding hardtop - like the convertible 3 Series before it - and be offered in 428i and 435i guises.
The 428i Convertible is equipped with BMW's 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, which pumps out 240 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque - good for sprinting from 0-60 miles per hour in 6.2 seconds. The 435i Convertible gets the 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine, which steps up output to 300 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque. The topless 435i drops the 0-60-mph time to 5.5 seconds. Both cars come standard with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and BMW says that a manual transmission will not be offered on 4 Series Convertibles in the US market.
The 4 Series Convertible will be offered in Sport Line, Luxury Line and M Sport trims. Pricing starts at $48,750 for the 428i Convertible and $54,900 for the 435i. Head on below to peruse the (long) press release for details.
BMW apparently still undecided about future i project electric vehicles
Wed, Jan 29 2014Coaches like to say that there's no "i" in team. At least one BMW executive is saying the company's not sure if there are any more "i"s in its near future. BMW executive Harald Krueger indicated that the German automaker is holding back on any i-project plans besides the i3 city car and i8 plug-in hybrid sports car until the company gets a better idea of how those models are selling, Reuters says. Bimmer has spent about $2.7 billion on the plug-in sub-brand and says it's taken more than 11,000 orders for the i3 since the model was first shown off at German dealerships last fall. Additionally, BMW has no plans to make the i3 in China (BMW makes versions of its 3- and 5-series sedans there). As we all know, should the brand expand, BMW has already trademarked the "i" badge from i1 through i9. There are a lot of mixed messages on the BMW i project front. For example, early indications are that i3 demand has been higher expected. BMW North America chief Ludwig Willisch indicated earlier this month that US demand for the electric city car, at least for the near future, will likely to outstrip supply. Bimmer dealers in the US will start getting the $41,350 i3 in May. Additionally, fellow BMW executive Jacob Harb said the company was already starting to work on its next EV, to be larger than the i3, though he didn't give many details and was later somewhat refuted by another BMW spokesman.

Why BMWs are cheaper than Hyundais in Korea
Sat, 18 May 2013Bloomberg reports shifting tariff regulations have upended the traditional automotive pecking order in Korea. Thanks to cheaper import taxes, foreign brands have seen market share jump from 28 percent to 41 percent over the last two years. BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi have all capitalized on the shift, with domestics like Hyundai and Kia suffering at the hands of their German rivals.
Taxes on European imports have fallen from 8 percent in 2011 to just 3.2 percent today. Over the next few years, tariffs will all but be eliminated for most imports, and taxes on US-made vehicles are expected to fall to just 4 percent in 2014. By 2016, that number will be zero. Needless to say, Hyundai and Kia are concerned about the shift.
Hyundai has seen profit fall by 15 percent last quarter, and the company says it is on pace to see the slowest sales growth since 2007. The company's shares have fallen by 12 percent. In order to stem the losses, Hyundai has discounted its midsize sedans and started working on diesel engine options.
