PICTURES ON REQUEST. 

EXTERIOR
Color is Dakar Yellow. The body is straight and in great condition. New tires. As far as I can tell, the front bumper was repainted. The very bottom of the bumper is torn from catching on a parking lot stop. According to carfax, there was an accident in 2006. I can say with certainty it was a minor accident, the chassis was never damaged. Mechanics are welcome to confirm.

INTERIOR:
Black Nappa Leather/Cloth seats.  Both front/back seats are in good condition, leather is still soft and not excessively worn like most E46 M3s.  There are some cosmetic issues.  The rear side panels are starting to peel. One side has glue stains in a failed attempt to repair it. The door seals should have felt on them, but it's come off. 

ENGINE:
3.2l 333HP Inline 6 cylinder engine with 6 speed SMG transmission. No clutch pedal. Car was salvaged in 2008 out of San Diego because the engine sucked up water and slightly bent a rod. We chose to swap it with a 2005 S54 motor. 2004 and later engines were updated to fix the rod bearing issues. The engine has 5,412 miles less than the chassis.  Chassis = 66,131 miles, Engine = 60,719  It's reliable and runs great, no codes.  Video of engine running coming soon!

TITLE:
Salvage Title.
  It's important to note the car was not salvaged due to the accident in 2006, it was salvaged in 2008 for engine damage.  It was driven through a puddle, sucked up water and damaged the motor.  Engine was replaced and it now runs great.  Please feel free to bring a mechanic for inspection.  Also, I'm listing this car for a friend.  He has title in hand, and will be handed over upon payment.

Jay Leno puts focus on some retro-inspired BMW bikes

Mon, 28 Jul 2014

Jay Leno puts eight wheels on display this week for Jay Leno's Garage from a quartet of retro-inspired BMW motorcycles. They are the creations of husband and wife team Larry and Carol Romestant, who build each one in their home garage.
Larry is a former aerospace engineer who loves BMW bikes, especially the K models. Now, he's combining his passion with a real talent for fabrication to build his own cycles with his wife. With Larry and Carol the only ones working on these projects, it takes them six to nine months to build each one. In addition to the old-school looks, the motorcycles are supposed to be a bit more user friendly than stock. For example, one of them ditches the standard five-speed gearbox in favor of a six-speed unit to be a little more comfy when cruising at high speeds.
Since there isn't enough time to take all four of them for a ride, Jay picks his favorite to test out on the open road. Scroll down to see which one he chooses.

BMW offering Track Handling Package for 2 Series

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

After getting a chance to drive the BMW M235i earlier this year, we mentioned our regret at not being able to sample the lighter and less powerful 228i Coupe. We'd like to have seen how close the latter could get to the former, noting that "there's a lot of room for upgrades with the $11,000 retail difference." BMW is closing that performance gap slightly, announcing that a Track Handling Package will join the options sheet for the 2015 228i Coupe.
The group bolts on Variable Sport Steering, Adaptive M Suspension and M Sport Brakes behind new 18-inch lightweight wheels wearing Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. There's no change to the 240-horsepower four-cylinder, but a coupe so equipped should be able to do plenty more with the horses it has thanks to a faster steering rack, sharper handling due to additional sensors and a ten-millimeter drop in ride height, and larger brakes and discs.
BMW has used the New York Auto Show as a venue to introduce the new Track Handling Package, and it will roll onto showroom floors in July and pricing will be announced sometime between now and then. Takers can get it with both the six-speed manual and eight-speed Sport Automatic, see it in the high-res image gallery above, and read about it in the press release below.

Confident new Cadillac marketing boss ready to take on Tesla, BMW

Thu, Jun 26 2014

When there's a former BMW executive heading Cadillac's efforts to boost sales of its only plug-in, it's a pretty safe guess that the marketing emphasis won't be on environmental friendliness and tree-hugging tendencies. The General Motors luxury brand has appointed ex-Bimmer executive Uwe Ellinghaus to be its marketing chief late last year, and the German-born Ellinghaus is now saying that he's targeting potential customers of Tesla Motors, in addition to BMW, for potential growth in sales of the Cadillac ELR extended-range plug-in. Appointed to Cadillac's head of marketing last November, Ellinghaus recently told Advertising Age that GM needs to highlight the Cadillac's looks and performance. He complimented Tesla for putting more emphasis on those attributes in the Model S than on its lack of emissions or lack of refueling costs (but Tesla hasn't shied away from highlighting the EV's savings). Ellinghaus says that trying to gear advertising "for people who are tree-huggers and green-wash an entire brand" won't be successful. You don't say. So far, the ELR hasn't made much of a dent in US car sales. Through May, Cadillac, which spent about $280 million on all of its US marketing last year, sold 293 units, whereas Tesla had been approaching the 11,000-unit figure for the Model S. With that in mind, Cadillac may be working on a sportier version of the ELR, as spy shots of a test vehicle from May revealed larger brakes and wheels. You can read our First Drive impressions of the ELR here.
