2003 Bmw M3 on 2040-cars
Edgewood, Texas, United States
If you have any questions please email at: gilbertegsstudier@chelseafans.net . I'm sure I'll regret doing this at some point, but the time has come to sell this awesome piece of engineering and
machinery. The car has performed flawlessly and without any major issue for the last year I've owned it. The car
walks a very fine line between "streetable" and "racecar", but is executed perfectly, in my opinion. The Recaro
Pole Position Seats are amazingly comfortable. At TX2k this year I drove back and forth from DT Houston to Royal
Purple Raceway (across Houston) and every person that road with me commented on how comfortable they are. The car
has been to 2 events in the last year that I've owned it and 1 event earlier in 2014 with the previous owner. Each
time it has performed flawlessly and made back to back to back passes. I honestly wouldn't hesitate to drive this
car cross-country, as long as there was plenty of E-85 along the way. With that being said the car is Flex Fuel and
is currently tuned for 91 and any ethanol blend (AEM Infinity adjusts parameters based on ethanol content with
strategies similar to what an OEM vehicle would use). There are 4 boost settings, which are controlled via the
cruise control buttons on the steering wheel and displayed on the tachometer accordingly (ie. 1k RPM = Boost
Setting 1, 2k RPM = Boost Setting 2, 3k RPM = Boost Setting 3, etc.). Two-Step/Antilag are also controlled through
the steering wheel on the On/Off Switch for cruise control. The cruise set button modulates the Traction Control
for the AEM Infinity. OEM Traction Control is retained to the best of my knowledge. This car has so many trick
features on it and gets compliments everywhere I take it. It is insanely fast for a BMW, or for any car for that
matter. Was the previous record holder for the fastest 1/4 mile time and speed.
I am selling the car simply because I don't get to use it often enough. The roads where I lived are incredibly
rough and I typically only drive the car when trailered to somewhere else for an event. Would really like to sell
it to someone who is a BMW enthusiast and will keep this car in the amazing condition it is in. The asking price is
OBO and is based on multiple factors including the work, effort and craftsmanship that went into building this car
as well as its condition. I do not want to trade for any other vehicles, property, or anything that isn't
deposit-able into a checking account.

BMW 4 Series production coupe caught on commercial shoot
Fri, 22 Mar 2013Despite filming at 2:00 AM and at an undisclosed location, BMW minders filming a commercial for the fast-approaching 4 Series coupe were unable to ward off the long lenses of spy photographers. The result, as you can see here, is our first-ever look at the production version of BMW's new coupe, completely uncovered.
The night shots may be a little bit grainy, but the fast-moving 4 Series still looks pretty good with its camo closeted, matching the svelte lines of the concept car we saw in Detroit this winter. Expect that the 4 coupe will come to market with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder in 428i trim, and a turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder in 435i spec.
Take your time looking through our gallery of movie-star 4 Series photographs, and tell us what you think about the uncovered Bimmer, in comments.
BMW previews new M6 GT3 racing prototype [UPDATE]
Sat, Feb 7 2015UPDATE: A previous version of this post specified the incorrect weight target for the M6 GT3. The text below has been updated with the correct information. BMW may not compete at the top level at Le Mans or in the World Rally Championship, it may have withdrawn from Formula One and shuttered the Formula BMW series, but it's not without its racing programs. Aside from the Minis that dominate the Dakar Rally, BMW fields the M4 in DTM, the M235i Racing in the BMW Sports Trophy and the Z4 in GT3 competitions around the world. But now it's preparing to launch a new GT3 racer based on the M6. Currently undergoing development, BMW has presented its new M6 GT3 prototype at its factory in Dingolfing, Germany. Based on the road-going M6 coupe, the GT3 retains its 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with dry-sump lubrication, producing over 500 horsepower – which is actually less than the road-going model you can buy, but has to be restricted to meet FIA certification. At less than 3,000 pounds, it is a fair bit lighter than the production version, and promises to deliver blistering performance figures to whichever privateer teams buy one to enter in racing series around the world. The M6 GT3 is slated to hit the circuits next year, when it will join the lineup alongside the M6 coupe, M6 convertible and M6 Gran Coupe, to say nothing of the M6 safety car used in MotoGP. In a related development, BMW Blog reports that the Bavarian automaker is probing potential interest in bringing the M235i Racing to North America. The entry-level model in the BMW Motorsports range, the M235i Racing sells in Europe for the equivalent of $68,000. The next milestone: the BMW M6 GT3 is rolled out at the BMW premises in Dingolfing. 05.02.2015 Munich (DE), 5th February 2015. BMW's new figurehead for the GT racing scene has been given its first run: last Saturday, the test track on the premises of the BMW factory in Dingolfing (DE) provided the stage for the roll-out of the BMW M6 GT3, with which BMW teams will compete in national and international series, as well as at iconic endurance races, from 2016 onwards. The car left the garage for the first time at precisely 14:00 with Jorg Muller (DE) at the wheel. This gave the BMW works driver the honour of creating the next milestone in the development of the BMW M6 GT3. "This is a big moment for everyone who has worked so intensely and passionately on the development of the BMW M6 GT3 in recent months," said BMW Motorsport Director Jens Marquardt.
Toyota, Mercedes, BMW top automakers included in List of Best Global Brands
Tue, 01 Oct 2013Interbrand, a consultancy firm, has published its 13th annual list of the best global brands. Besides seeing some shakeups at the top - Apple and Google unseated Coca-Cola (a company that has dominated the survey since its birth), the 100-item list features 14 automakers, most of which enjoyed double-digit gains in brand value.
Toyota managed to retain its spot as the study's top automaker. It finished the survey in 10th position overall (the same as last year), despite a 17-percent improvement in its brand value, from $29.33 billion to $35.34 billion. Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Honda all made the top 20, at 11th, 12th and 20th place, respectively. Hopping a ways down the list, we come across Volkswagen in 34th place, up from 39th in last year's study, with a brand value of $11.12 billion, a 20-percent improvement over 2012. Ford and Hyundai round out the automakers in the top 50, at 42 and 43.
Porsche made the largest year-over-year gain of any automaker, with its brand value increasing 26 percent to $6.47 billion. Chevrolet meanwhile, cracks the list for the very first time at 89th place. As Interbrand notes, Chevy's inclusion is notable because of the sheer number of vehicles it moves for General Motors and its recent push in developing markets. The final interesting note on this survey is the position of an automaker that takes its name and logo more seriously than perhaps any other - Ferrari. The Italian exotic manufacturer finished 98th out of 100, with just $4.01 billion in brand value, a six-percent improvement over 2012.
