2003 Bmw M3 Base Convertible 2-door 3.2l on 2040-cars
San Clemente, California, United States
This is an amazing car. It runs, drives, and looks like new. It needs nothing. It is totally ready to go. Get in, drop the top, and drive. I bought this car a little over a year ago for my wife. She drove it 3 times. Too fast/powerful for her. I on the other hand, love driving it. It is fast, smooth, tight, and looks awesome. It has a clean Carfax Report. There are NO check engine lights, warning lights, etc. Everything works as it should. I spent a lot of money making this car perfect for my wife. It doesn't need anything. I hate to sell it, but my job is moving me out of the country.
Here are some details: It has the SMG (Sequential Manual Gearbox). Can be driven in Automatic OR Manual. Also has the paddle shifters by the steering wheel. It has every option available to the M3 Convertible that year (except navigation). SMG Transmission, Dual power seats, Dual heated seats, Onboard Computer System, Steering Wheel Controls (Volume, Cruise, Channels), Harmon Kardon Stereo System, CD, Nappa Leather Trim, Sports/Premium Package, Xenon Headlights, Etc. Imola Red on Imola Red. Very rare color option. New Wind Screen ($650 I bought new from Newport Beach BMW). This is a MUST HAVE. It makes driving with the top down so much better! You can drive on the freeway at 85 MPH with the top down, music loud, and still have a conversation on the phone or with a passenger. Tires have less than 3000 miles on them. Bridgestone Potenzas. I also have a set of nearly new BMW FACTORY 19" M3 Chrome Wheels I will include. (worth around $2K). I had the windows tinted (DARK). Looks great and really keeps the heat out. I have the clean title in hand. I searched High and Low when I bought this car for my wife. It had to be red. It was by far the cleanest, nicest one I could find. It looks and drives like a new car. Many people ask what year it is because it looks so new. This car combines style and performance at it's best. |

BMW 02 Series mini-documentary makes us fall in love all over again
Sun, 24 Mar 2013BMW's current reputation of building Ultimate Driving Machines can be traced back through history all the way to 1966, when the German automaker introduced the world to its 1600-2 two-door at the Geneva Motor Show. The car's name was simplified in 1971 to BMW 1602, and it went on to spawn the 2002, one of the most famous BMW models of all time.
BMW looks back on its past successes in a video that you can see below. As the automaker itself says in the video description, "This series was extraordinarily successful in reinterpreting the concept of the sports saloon and played a major role in motor sport long after production had come to an end." The 2002 would be replaced in 1975 by another legendary model from BMW: the 3 Series.
We'd be lying if we said we didn't long for something along the lines of the classic 2002 from BMW today. Since that doesn't seem likely to happen anytime soon, join us in remembering the cars that helped make BMW a household name by scrolling down below.
2014 BMW X5 recalled over faulty child-safety locks
Tue, 27 May 2014BMW is set to recall some 6,400 of its new-for-2014 X5 SUVs built between December 12, 2013 and March 10, 2014 due to concerns that the child safety locks, if set, might deactivate without warning. The problem affects only those vehicles with the automatic soft-closing option.
According to the bulletin issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the lock mechanism on the rear doors "may not have been manufactured to correct tolerances," meaning the safety locks could disengage with a simple pull of the door handle. Basically, with a pair of tugs, the rear doors could be opened from the inside, regardless of child safety locks.
BMW is in the process of notifying owners of affected vehicles. Any necessary repairs will be conducted free of charge. Take a look below for the official press release from NHTSA.
BMW mulled ten, eight, and six-cylinder engines for i8 before going hybrid
Wed, 09 Oct 2013There's little doubt that the 2015 BMW i8 is one of the most radical and groundbreaking performance cars this industry has seen in a long time. From its unique carbon-intensive construction to its 1.5-liter, three-cylinder and electric motor plug-in powertrain to its concept-car appearance, the flagbearer for BMW's new i venture challenges the very notion of what it takes to be a supercar.
Yet apparently the i8 almost didn't do that at all. Yes, it probably still would've had innovative assembly techniques, serious performance and come-hither bodywork, but according to a new report in the Telegraaf, it was very nearly a much more conventional beast, drawing its power from a V10 engine. According to the report, that line of development never got much beyond the drawing board, but BMW engineers then shifted their focus to both V8 and six-cylinder motivation, going so far as to build prototype cars. The higher cylinder-count engines were eventually dropped altogether after BMW decided to turn the i8 into a hybrid, with the six-cylinder reportedly nixed due to heat management and weight issues. In the end, of course, BMW went with the PHEV powertrain that offers a total system output of 362 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque - plenty of thrust for this lightweight, all-wheel drive coupe while still enabling an incredible 94 miles to the gallon on the EU cycle. Regardless of how it turned out, it's still fascinating to think that BMW didn't have a much firmer conceptual idea of what it was after when it started the i8's development.
Here at Autoblog, we're genuinely thrilled about this new generation of greener hybrid super- and hypercars, a movement spearheaded by the i8, Porsche 918 Spyder, Ferrari LaFerrari and McLaren P1. But even so, our inner-gearheads can't help but wonder what might have been had BMW pursued a more conventional i8, either in place of, or in addition to, the car they did build. What do you think?
