2003.5 Bmw E46 M3 Smg on 2040-cars
Geismar, Louisiana, United States
Up for sale: 2003.5 BMW E46 M3 I have taken immaculate care of this car as it has been garage kept and babied since I bought it. I am having to sell now only due to my expanding family and the need for a 3rd row vehicle. Sad to let her go. Clear title - Title in hand no accidents Titanium Silver Metallic (354) Tiag With Red and brushed aluminum trim SMG II Transmission 6 speed Winter package S54b32 inline 6 Well taken care of at 129,500 this M3 has several tasteful upgrades while leaving the motor completely untouched, which to me is a huge plus with a performance vehicle. Pros (upgrades) - PSS10 fully adjustable coil over kit (professionally installed) (Bilstein's PSS10 coil over system combines adjustable monotube shock damper technology with front and rear height adjustments to give you everything you need in one package. The E46 PSS10 kit is one of the most impressive suspensions on the market for performance and quality. Bilstein has engineered this kit to be functional and specific to the E46 M3 chassis and not overloaded with features and bullet points that you'll never use. With the PSS10 you get 10 damper settings with meaningful differences between clicks, ride height adjustment, TUV certified quality and performance, a limited lifetime warranty, and easy fitment with stock mounts and links. This kit is designed to lower the car between 1.0" and 1.75" from the original stock, non-sport package suspension.-(Turner motorsports)) - Vorsteiner V-CSL Boot Lid (painted to match professionally) (Vorsteiner’s Carbon Fiber Honeycomb Matrix (CFHM) structure gives our parts superior stiffness, strength & durability compared to traditional hand laid carbon fiber and fiberglass materials. Double Sided Carbon Fiber (carbon fiber honey comb matrix)- (Vorsteiner)) - CSL replica wheels (all "rear" wheels for a squared set up for better tire rotating options) plus is looks cool :D (professionally painted) and spaced for an aggressive stance - All four Bridgestone Potenzas have less than 3000 miles - Black exterior trim Maintenance 1 coil pack went out on me a while back so I had all six replaced just in case (professionally) Inspection 1+2 both completed (professionally) Changed oil every 5k miles only used shell supreme gasoline both wiper blades were replaced this month all four new tires Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 in rear RE-050 pole positions in front brand new MANN air filter Cons The previous owner (whom I still keep in touch with) and I daily drove this vehicle for almost 130,000 miles so there are some normal wear and tear problems with the car (I would be weary of any +100k BMW M3 that is in "Perfect shape") - The interior felt material on the a,b and c pillars is coming off or wrinkling up and the felt trim is separating in some areas (this is a common problem for the E46 M3) - The drivers side seat stitching is has separated where the butt goes (I am 160lbs so this must be common as well) disappointing that this happened last week and made me feel fat :( - In the last month the car has developed a slight hesitation, I took it to the local shop and the mechanic informed me that it is most likely an injector wearing out and that its normal for them to do that at this milage - The adjustable gear in the manual climate control vent has worn out and takes some fiddling with to get the air the perfect temp (again just on the manual controls not the electric) cheap and easy fix I'm sure but i just got lazy and never did (I live in Louisiana its always hot) Shipping Buyer pays shipping- welcome to use eBay shipping services Ill be happy to facilitate the shipping process however I can Paypal only please also will provide more specific picture if requested sold as is |

BMW V8-powered Ford Model A is the definition of Hot Rod
Thu, 20 Jun 2013Today, hotrodding has a pretty staid definition. Take one classic American car, add one classic American V8, sprinkle with tire smoke and you pretty much have every hot rod to roll out of a shop in the last 40 years. Mike Borroughs knows it wasn't always this way. Once upon a time, getting your bucket to go faster meant grabbing whatever parts were lazing about the yard, bolting them together with a bit of ingenuity and laughing your way down the quarter mile. It's in that spirit that Burroughs built his 1928 Ford Model A.
Rather than turn to the tired flathead or the common Chevrolet small block, Burroughs plucked a 4.0-liter V8 from a 1995 BMW 7 Series. With 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, the engine has no trouble shuffling the old A around town. He had to build a custom chassis to get everything to cooperate, but the result is a 1,500-pound heathen that looks built to harass dry lake beds. You can check it out in the video below. Be warned, the soundtrack by Hanni el Khatib may not be safe for work - awesomeness of this caliber rarely is.
Alpina D3 Bi-Turbo torquing its way toward Frankfurt
Mon, 09 Sep 2013Few tuners benefit from the kind of factory support that Alpina does, giving the pseudo-aftermarket firm nearly as much official status as BMW's own M division. And this is its latest product.
Set to debut, as expected, at the Frankfurt Motor Show this week is the new Alpina D3 Bi-Turbo, which you can consider, for all intents and purposes, the diesel M3 that BMW never built. While the outgoing D3 (which was Alpina's best-selling model) used a four-cylinder engine, Autocar reports that the new model packs a 3.0-liter, twin-turbo inline-six diesel to drive a respectable 345 horsepower but a mammoth 516 pound-feet of torque to either the rear wheels or all four through the optional availability of xDrive. (European buyers will also be able to choose between sedan and wagon bodystyles.)
The engine is the same as you'd find in the XD3 and D5 (Alpina's diesel performance versions of the X3 and 5 Series, respectively), but in the lighter 3 Series form can propel the D3 Bi-Turbo up to 62 miles per hour in 4.6 seconds and on to an Autobahn-crunching top speed of 173 mph. And as per Alpina tradition, visual cues are minimal, with a subtly optimized aero kit and 19- or available 20-inch alloy wheels. Unfortunately, the 7 Series-based B7 is the only Alpina we get on this side of the Atlantic, but an oil-drenched performance enthusiast can dream.
BMW recalling a grand total of three X3s over instrument panel defect
Wed, 18 Dec 2013We've seen big recalls and we've seen small ones. Some involve millions of vehicles, and some - like the Infiniti Q50 recall on which we reported just the other day - involve just a couple dozen. But this has to be the smallest recall we've seen yet.
"Due to a production process error" in the BMW X3, states the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the notice below, "the team seam on the instrument panel was not manufactured correctly." Big friggin' whoop, you say? Well, NHTSA points out that it could hinder the deployment of the airbag and send fractures flying everywhere.
The problem was discovered in a select few examples of the 2013 BMW X3 - both xDrive 28i and 35i models - manufactured in the later part of February this year. And by "select few," we literally mean a few - as in three. Three examples are being recalled. If you happen to be one of those three owners, expect to hear from your local dealership.
