2003 Bmw M3 Smg Nav on 2040-cars
United States
|
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.

Lots of new cars were unveiled in Munich this week. Here's what you might've missed
Thu, Sep 9 2021The 2021 Munich Auto Show is happening this week and due to ongoing corporate travel restrictions, we remained firmly planted on this continent. So, although we can't tell you exactly what it's like inside the futuristic new Mercedes EQE electric sedan or fully appreciate the funky Volkswagen ID.Life concept, there's no shortage of details and analysis to provide. Obviously, as Germany's premier auto show in 2021, the cars unveiled were primarily from the German brands. We also focused mostly on the cars that might actually make their way to the United States, or at least inspire those that will. 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE is an electric alternative to the E-Class While the EQS paved the way for Mercedes' electrified future, much like the S-Class before it, the EQE stands to be the car that will move in far greater numbers -- much like the E-Class before it.

Mercedes-Maybach EQS Concept View 4 Photos Volkswagen ID.Life concept previews the city car's high-riding EV future Well, isn't this adorable? Though perhaps a tad derivative of the Honda E, Volkswagen's blocky little crossover EV nevertheless represents a handsome new direction for VW design. We like this better than the rounded looks of the current ID.3 and ID.4. 2021 Volkswagen ID.Life concept View 20 Photos BMW i Vision Circular is a 100% recycled and recyclable hatch Behold, the next BMW 3 Series! Just kidding. Besides this, BMW displayed cars in person for the first time that it had previously only unveiled on the interwebs, including the new 2 Series and revised iX3. It also unveiled some bikes. BMW i Vision Circular Concept View 63 Photos Audi's GrandSphere concept was designed as a road-going private jet Does Audi know what a sphere is? Cause this isn't anything like one. Still, it's quite a handsome thing, and as one of three Sphere-branded concepts, previews the next direction of Audi design (which is pleasantly reminiscent of two-decade-old Mazda design). No complaints here. 2021 Audi GrandSphere concept View 26 Photos Porsche Mission R is a 1,000-horsepower electric monster Just like the Mission E previewed the Taycan, this apparently previews another future car.
BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe caught without cladding
Wed, 04 Sep 2013Like it or not, the majority of BMW 3 Series variants are on their way out, and the 4 Series models are hotly embroiled in the testing needed to replace them. We've now driven the basic 4 Series, seen spy photographs of the 4 Series Convertible and both versions of the M4 and today we get a better-than-ever look at the 4 Series Gran Coupe.
And, mostly dependent on your personal disposition towards four-dour coupes, that look should be a pleasant thing. The long, swooping Gran Coupe may be roughly similar in size to the related 3 Series GT, but it has been sculpted with beauty in mind rather than crossover function. We expect that those details still hidden by the body cladding here, mostly front and rear, can be filled in by simply remembering what the standard 4 Series looks like and squinting your eyes a bit. Subtlety is thy name, BMW variants.
As for the mechanicals, well, we expect to have the very same greasy bits under the hood and beneath the car that are found in the 4 Series lineup, too.
BMW M4 Convertible poised for Goodwood unveil
Sat, 22 Mar 2014It shouldn't be a shock that BMW is working on a convertible version of the M4. Not only have we caught it testing twice, but this is an automaker that seems willing to build a vehicle for nearly every buyer's needs. Evo claims that the high-performance droptop is going to debut at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed in England from June 26-29.
Judging from the spy shots we've seen, the M4 Convertible will consist of a retractable hard top like the 4 Series cabrio. Other than the roof, there aren't expected to be many changes from the coupe. The engine will be the same turbocharged, 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine, but the added weight of the roof and its mechanism may take a small bite out of performance.
We spoke to BMW USA about the rumor and were told that it has no comment at this time. After the M4 Convertible, Evo claims that BMW is working on a M4 Gran Coupe. How that would be all that different from an M3, isn't exactly clear.
