Up for sale is my 2003 BMW M3. This M3 has 177,xxx miles on it and features the SMGII transmission. The motor runs very strong and has never given me an issue. In the 2 years that I've owned the vehicle, oil has been changed at 7,500 mile intervals (half of the factory recommendation) and has received schedule 2 maintenance in the last 15,000 miles.
FCABs have been replaced with OEM units and RTABs replaced with Rogue Engineering black units to stiffen up the rear slightly; replaced at the same time with <15,000 miles on them. About a year ago I had Agency Power headers fitted on the car and the stock pipes removed. This car has NO catalytic converters, and the rear O2 sensors are not installed. Section 1 and 2 of the exhaust are the OEM units, and the rear muffler was replaced shortly after I purchased the vehicle with an Eisenmann Race 4x83mm piece with perforated tips. There is a slight exhaust rattle at idle that goes away under load; I simply haven't taken the time to replace the worn factory hangers. For the past two winters I have used Plasti-Dip to protect the 18'' OEM wheels from the elements. Underneath they are in ok condition, showing curb rash from the previous owner. Interior shows wear typical of a vehicle with this age. The leather is in overall good condition with some wear in the bottom of the front seats and a tear in the driver's side bolster (please see photos). The stock Titanium trim was also wrapped in 3M titanium vinyl by a previous owner and is showing some wear, but overall in ok condition. I also had the newest Dynavin installed to replace the factory navigation unit that had a cracked screen when I purchased the vehicle. It accepts a 30 pin iPod/iPhone connection in the glove box. The sound system is standard, save the addition of a 10'' JL Audio W6 in the trunk to fill out the bass frequencies that the stock speakers just couldn't provide. I have also installed larger, easier to use aluminum SMG paddles behind the steering wheel. Since I've owned the vehicle it has been in two accidents. One was a very minor rear-end collision that had the rear bumper replaced with a new piece, and the other the driver's side quarter panel was hit in a parking lot. Both repaired professionally by a local body shop and were purely cosmetic; the performance of the car hasn't changed. The reason for sale is my job requires me to travel quite a bit, and driving the M3 just isn't economical for me anymore. I'm looking to move to something a little more calm with fewer miles and better fuel mileage. Also, the past week it has blown two SMG relays and I don't have the time to track down the issue. Replacing the relay fixes the problem for a while before it happens again. My assumption is either a wiring issue near the transmission, or the hydraulic pump is on the way out--my reserve price reflects this, as I'm not 100% sure of the issue myself. The car currently runs and drives with NO issues, but should be addressed by the buyer. Any questions may be forwarded to me here and I will answer in a timely fashion. I'm also happy to attach more photos in an email upon request. The car is currently located in Middle Tennessee. Any shipping will need to be arranged by the buyer, as I cannot provide this service for you.

BMW i8 now has 10-month waiting list in UK
Sun, Aug 10 2014Reports that the BMW i8 would be a popular plug-in vehicle have been circulating since stories claiming 'sold out' status circulated late last year. Those turned out not to be entirely true, but now that deliveries have actually started, the $160,000 EV is proving to be only available to the patient in posh English shops. The Telegraph reports that there is a 10-month waiting period for the i8 in the UK, where one dealer (Park Lane in London's Mayfair) has managed to convince 170 people to place an order. Well, maybe convince isn't the right word. The store's sales manager told The Telegraph, "We've had numerous people asking to buy the display car. Many have said to me: name your price." Many locals want the car to avoid paying the expensive London congestion charge. The i8 uses a turbocharged 1.5-liter, three-cylinder engine and a 96-kilowatt electric motor to move from 9 to 60 miles per hour in only 4.2 seconds. The plug-in powertrain is good for 357 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. The plugged portion gives the i8 an EV range of up to 22 miles. The first i8 in the US is going to be auctioned off at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance Weekend next weekend.
BMW 1 Series sedan interior revealed
Sun, 09 Nov 2014The next BMW 1 Series Sedan has made another appearance following our last peek at it in September, and this time, the gallery of images even reveals part of the new car's interior.
Of course, if these images prove anything, it's that manufacturers take camouflage of the interior just as seriously as they do the exterior. We can see in these images a fairly simple cabin, with what looks like a fixed central display. It's quite small, although the housing itself is rather large, so we could be looking at a more basic form of iDrive rather than the full-featured set. Overall, though, this cabin more or less confirms that the 1 Series Sedan will fit in with the rest of the BMW family quite nicely.
Outside of the interior images, though, there isn't a lot of new stuff revealed by these images. As for when we'll see both the interior and exterior fully undisguised, our spies continue pointing to a 2016 debut with a 2017 on-sale date.
TRANSLOGIC 147: CES 2014 Autonomous Vehicles
Wed, Jan 15 2014We head back to CES in Las Vegas to check on the progress of autonomous vehicles in 2014. We go hands-free on the highway with Audi, narrowly avoid a collision with Ford and hear all about BMW's drifting driverless car. But first we take a ride on Induct's self-driving Navia shuttle.
