I am selling my 2002 BMW M3. I have 2000 BMW e46 328i and a e39 540i, that I just put a ton of work into and I have decided to keep those instead. I would keep this car but my 328i is going to be a better daily driver. 919-539-3768

 

For the price of the M3 with the loaded options, you are not going to find one priced better in all of NC. The engine is in great condition with no ticks or vanos issues.

There is a small ding in the radiator support near the hood pin. This causes the hood to be misaligned by about 1/8". I have a brand new radiator support from BMW to include with the car that will fix this (Pictured). I also have some extra M calipers to include with the car (Pictured). The car is lowered causing minor rubbing when you turn very sharp in a parking lot.

 The car currently reads 59,000 miles on the odometer. The actual mileage is right around 132K. It was replaced with the current odometer right around 130K miles with 57K miles on the replaced odometer. The carfax will show this. This is a completely loaded out M3 and the specs are below.

I just redid the interior pillars in the car and replaced the SMG relay. The car has new angel eyes as well. I have the rear BMW Roundel that is not in the picture. I will in install this before the car is sold. Call or text 919-539-3768

 

Features:

-Titanium Silver Metallic with Imola Red interior (Black Pasti-dipped Roof/mirrors, I can remove this if you don't like it)

-Cold Weather Package (heated seats, ski pass through for trunk, washer nozzles for headlights)

-Premium package (Moonroof, Drivers Seat memory, Rain Sensing Windshield Wipers, Automatic headlights, Nappa Leather Upholstery, Adjustable seat back with Lumber and electronic Adjustable Bolsters)

-Park Distance Control

-Xenon Headlights

-Navigation System

-Harmon Kardon Sound System

-SMG Manual Gearbox

- New 19" BBS CY Rims (8.5" Width Front/9.5" Width Rear)

-New Michelin Pilot Sports on the front

-2004+ LED tail lights

The Good:

-The leather seats are in great condition with not rips or tears

-The headliner is not sagging or falling down at all

-The engine is in great shape with no Check Engine Lights or any codes

-New Michelin Pilot Sports on the front rims.

 

Things that need attention:

-Will need new rear trailing arm bushings (RTABs). You can feel it when you hit any potholes, I have a technician who will do all of this including alignment for $200. These go for $32 for both here online. This is a pretty simple fix that you will be able to do if you are mechanically inclined.

-Airbag Light is on

-Coolant Sensor Needs to be replaced (Comes on intermittently even when the levels are fine)

-Radio does not work, may be a fuse, but the full navigiation system lights up and everything works along with the onboard computer (all speakers all work, you can plug your phone up)

-Fog lights don't work (I Have new ones)

-SMG light comes on intermittently. I have not had a single issue with the SMG popping out of gear or getting stuck in gear. The light is most likely due to a sensor that needs to be replaced. You can test drive the car to check the SMG.

-The hood flew up on the previous owner and the corners has some minor wrinkles (might not be able to see in the picture) in the corner near the windshield and a small dent in the hood (The dent can be repaired by a paintless dent removal specialist for $150)

-The current bumper seems to have been screwed in by the previous owner, this causes a small gas where each screw is pressing down on the bumper right under the kidney grills

-The driver side A pillar is missing the SRS airbag cover strip (Common), this is $18 online.

This is everything that I could list that is wrong with the car. I have the auction set at $8,500 with NO RESERVE and a buy it now of $10,600. I would prefer local pickup only. I am located in Raleigh NC. Please call or text if you have any questions 919-539-3768

BMW 6 Series Convertible gets a little work done for 2015

Sat, 02 Aug 2014

Truth be told, I've never really found the modern BMW 6 Series to be a particularly attractive car, in Coupe, Convertible, or sedan Gran Coupe forms. This current generation certainly looks a whole lot better than the Bangle-fied Six that came before it to my eyes, but on the whole, I find much of the car's design to be fussy and awkward. There's a new 6 Series on the way, scheduled to arrive sometime in 2017 or 2018, but to hold us over until then, BMW is freshening its current range, as evidenced by this convertible prototype our trusty spies recently caught testing.
Will the changes to the current 6 Series be an improvement? Perhaps. Up front, there are restyled headlamps and a new front bumper, and at the rear, BMW has redesigned the LED taillamps to bring them more in line with the rest of the company's offerings. Aside from those modest tweaks, we don't expect much more to change on the Big Six - the interior will likely carry over with some minor tweaks (or new colors), and it's possible the powertrains could be massaged gently for gains in either power, efficiency, or both.
Whether you think this new look is pretty or not, this freshened 6 Series will likely debut sometime next year, while BMW's engineers and designers craft the all-new version. See it from several angles in our gallery, above.

Permanent erection lawsuit against BMW thrown out

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

The California man who claimed that he suffered from a 20-month erection after a four-hour ride on his BMW K1100RS motorcycle (similar model pictured above) has had his case dismissed. It seems the court found his claims too hard to believe.
Henry Wolf filed a product liability lawsuit against BMW and seatmaker Corbin-Pacific in the California Superior Court in April 2012 after he claimed a motorcycle ride in September 2010 caused a long-term case of priapism from the "ridge-like" saddle design. He asked for compensation for lost wages, medical expenses and emotional distress from both companies.
Nearly two years later, according to Visor Down, Judge James J. McBride decided that the case didn't have enough supporting evidence. A urologist testified that the plaintiff had priapism, but the court rejected the testimony of a neurologist who claimed the motorcycle's vibration caused the disorder. The defendants presented testimony from the bike's former and subsequent owners. Corbin-Pacific CEO Mike Corbin also spoke in the company's defense.

2015 BMW M3 squares off against Alpina D3 in gas vs. diesel throwdown

Sat, 26 Jul 2014

There was a time when diesel meant one of two things: This vehicle's owner either wants to save some money at the pump or needs to haul massive loads. It definitely did not mean that the owner of said machine wanted to drive fast, but that perception has slowly but surely been changing over the last several years, with automakers from Volkswagen and Ford to Audi and BMW offering spiced-up versions of their high-compression, turbocharged diesels.
It's that last automaker we mentioned that's the subject of the video you'll see down below. One bright-blue BMW M3 was procured by the Brits at Autocar, and it was lined up against a deep-black Alpina D3 (which we sadly can't buy in the US) in a spate of tests, including acceleration, stopping, sound and lap times on a closed circuit. The results, which we won't spoil for you, were enlightening, and were followed up by personal impressions from the man behind the wheel.
We know you're curious. All it takes to find out which of these 3.0-liter, twin-turbo-powered 3 Series variants came out on top is to scroll down below and watch. You know what to do.
