2002 E46 Bmw M3 Titanium Silver/imola Red Interior 19" Bbs Rims No Reserve!!! on 2040-cars

Year:2002 Mileage:135000
Location:

Raleigh, North Carolina, United States

Raleigh, North Carolina, United States

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

The troubled Alfa Romeo Giulia needs serious help [UPDATE]

Wed, Feb 10 2016

UPDATE: An Alfa Romeo US spokesman responded to this article with the following statement: The safety concerns expressed in the story are false. The all-new 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia is designed and engineered to meet or exceed all federal safety regulations. The Alfa Romeo Giulia will begin production for the North American market in the late second-quarter of this year. Alfa Romeo will have a full product portfolio of premium vehicles that includes plans for (8) all-new Alfa Romeo vehicles by 2020. The product launches are prioritized by segment volumes starting this year with the Alfa Romeo Giulia production for North America starting in late Q2, followed by the Midsize-UV – the 2nd largest premium segment in North America. Even on the day you dragged them kicking and screaming and gesticulating wildly to a table full of concrete evidence, Alfa Romeo executives will never admit the Giulia program is going through a tough patch. But it is. Reports say the Giulia, on the eve of production, didn't just fail one internal crash test, but failed the front, side and rear impact tests. Alfa denies it. Automotive News published a report last week saying two suppliers had insisted the Giulia, on the eve of production, didn't just fail one internal crash test, but failed the front-, side-, and rear-impact tests. A third supplier source told us the same thing. Alfa is denying it. It was due on sale in Europe late last year and was supposed to be here in the next month or two. But it wasn't, and it won't. It was to be headlined by a twin-turbo V6 that reportedly howled its way around the Nurburgring 14 seconds faster than the BMW M3 could manage. That second part is only true if you believe it's fair to compare a full lap in a standard BMW M3 with a favorable accumulation of sector times to a development prototype Giulia with 220 pounds stripped out of it and rolling on hand-cut racing slicks. No, me neither. A Promising Start The Giulia's all-new architecture was developed in just two years by a skunkworks of young engineers headed by Fiat's engineering prince, Philippe Krief, and (bafflingly) sited inside Maserati's headquarters complex in Modena, about three hours from Alfa Romeo's own Turin HQ.

2014 BMW X5 configurator goes live

Sun, 28 Jul 2013

BMW won't begin selling the 2014 X5 for another few months, but the German manufacturer has brought the third-generation SAV's configurator online, allowing interested customers to poke around and look at the X5's optional goodies.
Like the 3 Series, the X5 is available in a number of lines that load up extras automatically. There's also a do-it-yourself truck that allows owners to pick and choose if they're not enamored with the styling or trim of one of the dedicated packages. As usual, the options list is quite vast, regardless of which line is chosen. We were able to easily take the new, rear-drive X5 sDrive35i, which started at $52,800, and bring the total price up past $80,000.
The new X5 carries over its 4.4-liter, twin-turbo V8 from the current model, as well as BMW's excellent 3.0-liter, turbocharged inline-six. The X5 xDrive35d, with the 3.0-liter turbodiesel will also be available on the third-generation SUV, but won't hit dealers until early 2014. BMW is stepping outside of the X5's usual bounds, offering a dedicated rear-drive model, available with all the same trimmings as the xDrive vehicles. Head over to BMW's US consumer page and have a go.

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.
