2004 BMW M3 E46 with SMG transmission for sale. Imola Red (color exclusive to M vehicles). 90,500 miles on the odometer. I purchased this car in August 2011 with approximately 84,000 miles. Vehicle is in excellent running order. Car has been well maintained, garage kept, weekend driven only, never a daily driver vehicle. It has always been a non-smoker's vehicle. I never raced it, and it was always driven carefully.

What's Right:
• Car is mechanically sound and is an excellent example of an E46 M3. It is extraordinarily fast and performs as it was intended. It shows some minor signs of wear and tear, but the important things on this car work very well.
• When I bought the car I had the usual filters, drive belts, spark plugs and fluids inspected and swapped. I have had the car professionally maintained since then and have copies of these records.



What's wrong:
• The cigarette lighter is missing. The socket still works for phone chargers, etc.
• The driver's side power door lock has never worked for unlocking. It does work for locking. I simply use the key to unlock the driver's side door after I disarm the alarm.
• There is a trim rail missing on the roof. This rail conceals mounting holes for a ski rack.
• The tire sensor light on the dash board is always on, no matter how the tire pressures are set.
• The body and wheels have some scratches from the previous owner. Some of them were repaired, and evidently not by a professional.
• The driver's floor mat was missing when I purchased this car. Same for some of the factory tools in the car's trunk lid.
• The fuel gauge is consistent, but a little off. This is apparently common for this vehicle. When the gauge reads 1/4 full, I start looking for gas stations.
• It leaks windshield wiper fluid.
• Both fog lamps have cracks on the lenses. They both work fine despite the cracks.
  Rear tires will need to be changed soon. Front tires are in great condition.





Aftermarket parts:
• The front struts were replaced. Initially I was going to buy stock struts, however Koni adjustable struts were available and actually cheaper than factory stock. They work amazingly well. The softest setting performs like the factory struts, leaving room to tighten them up for a more performance oriented feel.
• The factory stereo was pretty pathetic, and was replaced with a Kenwood CD player (Excelon KDC-X796), professionally installed by CARTOYS. CARTOYS also hardwired and routed a radar detector cord to the top of the dashboard, so that a cord would no longer be required at the cigarette lighter or draped across the heater and stereo controls. CARTOYS also installed an aftermarket alarm system (Clifford Model 320.3X).
• The factory auto-dimming rearview mirror was replaced by a more reliable and safer electronic version. The stock mirrors have a tendency to fail, and leak corrosive liquid.

Included:
• Full set of Cooper studded snow tires mounted on 17" alloy wheels. 225 45 R17 tires, the size recommended by BMW for winter tires.
• 2 BMW keys.
• 2 alarm remotes and instructions for alarm system.
• Box for the Kenwood stereo system, remote and instructions.
• Koni front strut adjusting knob.
• Instructions for alarm system
• Original BMW Business CD player/radio
• Bentley Mechanic's Manual

Features:
• Power Steering
• Power Door Locks
• Cruise Control
• Traction Control
• Anti-Lock Brakes
• Keyless Entry
• Power Windows
• Automatic Climate Control
• Leather Seats
• Stability Control
• Limited Slip Differential
• Lightweight Domed Aluminum Hood
• 3.2L Inline 6 cylinder engine; 7900 Rpm Redline and 333 Horsepower
• Steering column mounted Shifting Paddles, in addition to the center console mounted gearshift.
• Automatic shifting mode

Options:
• Heated Seats
• 19" Alloy "M" Wheels
• Power Sunroof
• Bi-Xenon Headlamps
• M Leather Steering Wheel
• Front Center Armrest
• Auto-Dimming Interior Mirror
• Park Distance Control
• Rain Sensor Windshield Wipers
• Auto Headlights
• Six-speed sequential manual gearbox (SMG II), an electronically shifted version of the M3's standard six-speed manual.

Thanks for looking!

Official pics of BMW M235i surface ahead of coupe's debut

Thu, 24 Oct 2013

BMW isn't supposed to debut the 2 Series until tomorrow, according to Carscoops, but that hasn't stopped these photos of the 1 Series Coupe replacement from leaking onto the web. First picked up by a BMW 2 Series enthusiast site, the photos eventually found their way around the web, and complement the spy images we showed you of the uncovered 2 Series from almost six months ago.
This particular car is the M235i, and will serve as the range-topping 2 Series. As the number "35" is affixed to this car's tail, there's no question that the engine powering this example is BMW's turbocharged, 3.0-liter six-cylinder. As we reported earlier this month, power for the M235i should sit around 320 horsepower, blessing the 3,240-pound coupe with a 4.8-second sprint to 60 miles per hour when equipped with an eight-speed automatic (a six-speed manual is also available, but drops the time down to an even five seconds).
While this isn't a full-bore M car like the 1 Series M Coupe, it has been touched by the company's in-house tuning division, which means it sports a racier body kit, blacked out grilles and M-labeled interior items, like the steering wheel.

BMW's DTM champ swaps rides with Mini's Dakar winner

Tue, May 5 2015

BMW may not race in F1 any longer, and it doesn't compete with Audi and Porsche in the LMP1 class at Le Mans. It even shut down Mini's short-lived effort on the World Rally Championship. But that doesn't mean it doesn't race at all. In fact it's the current reigning champion both in DTM and at Dakar. So to highlight its varied motorsport programs, the German automaker had two of its top drivers swap rides. German driver Martin Tomczyk, who won the DTM title in 2011 and now drives for BMW, took to Nasser Al-Attiyah's Mini All4Racing Countryman on the sand dunes of Dubai. Meanwhile the Qatari driver, who has won the Dakar Rally two times now, took to the wheel of Tomczyk's BMW M4 DTM around Oschersleben in Germany. They even repeated the game of musical chairs at Hockenheim over the weekend. If anything, the promo clip shot by Red Bull just goes to show how different the varied racing machinery can be, and the challenges posed to racing drivers switching between disciplines. But lessons aside, it's a cool clip, so check it out above. Two champions swap cockpits: Martin Tomczyk drives the MINI ALL4 Racing, Nasser Al-Attiyah the BMW M4 DTM. Munich (DE), 1st May 2015. From asphalt to sand and back again: BMW DTM driver Martin Tomczyk (DE) and MINI ALL4 Racing ace Nasser Al-Attiyah (QA) both entered unfamiliar territory and took each other's cars for a test drive. As part of a video shoot for BMW Motorsport Premium Partner Red Bull in Dubai (AE), Tomczyk, a proven master of his trade on asphalt as the 2011 DTM Champion, took the wheel of the MINI ALL4 Racing, with which X-raid has won the famous Rally Dakar the last four years. During DTM testing in Oschersleben (DE), Al-Attiyah was given the opportunity to drive Tomczyk's BMW M Performance Parts M4 DTM. Two wins at the Rally Dakar are just some of the successes the rally driver from Qatar has had to date. He followed up his first victory in 2011 by winning in the MINI ALL4 Racing in January 2015. "Driving the MINI ALL4 Racing through the sand and over the dunes in Dubai was a fascinating experience and was so much fun," said Tomczyk. "The car has an incredible amount of torwue – and the test in the dunes was an amazing adrenalin rush even for an experienced race driver such as myself. It's totally different to driving on a circuit.

BMW ReachNow just became a full-fledged mobility services program

Tue, Nov 15 2016

Since officially opening its doors with 370 cars in Seattle in April, BMW's ReachNow has made little expansions. It stared operations in Portland and grew to 760 cars. Today, it also announced that Brooklyn would join the list, and that the number of available cars to share would climb to 1,030. But the big news is that the scope of ReachNow's efforts has just grown tremendously. Instead of just the original, short-term car rental option ReachNow will now be able to do all sorts of things. These include: ReachNow Ride: Similar to Lyft and Uber, this is a ride-hailing program where someone drives you to your destination. You can request a driver and set personal experience options, like setting a radio station or requesting silence for the ride. A pilot program will start in Seattle. ReachNow Fleet Solutions: BMW's version of Zipcar, but only for residents of specific apartment buildings. This is a station-based, dedicated car sharing plan and the first pilot will be in Manhattan, starting in a few weeks. It will be based at The Solaire in lower Manhattan and will use plug-in i3s exclusively. ReachNow Reserve: Remember good, old-fashioned rental cars? This is like that, but a bit fancier. BMW's longer-term rental service will let you schedule a particular model, which will then be delivered to you. You can keep it as long as you like, but we assume that if you're thinking of not giving it back for a few months, you're doing it wrong. ReachNow Share: BMW saw what Turo (nee Relay Rides) was doing and figured it was a good idea. With this program, you will be able to rent out your own 2016 or 2017 Mini for a minimum of two days, making you a bit of cash from your car when you're not using it. This rolls out in December in Seattle, and ReachNow CEO Steve Banfield said that it may expand to other models in the future. At #AutoMobilityLA, @turo says it has 2 million activated users and 120,000 listed vehicles. Claims the average monthly earning is $536* pic.twitter.com/gWHdrvPRWV — AutoblogGreen (@AutoblogGreen) November 15, 2016 ReachNow currently have 32,000 members, and all of these services are available to them through the ReachNow app. For a "limited time," new users can save the $39 registration fee as part of an introductory offer, and per-minute charges for the regular ReachNow service are 41 cents a minute instead of 49. At #AutoMobilityLA , @reachnow announces third city for @BMW's car sharing services: Brooklyn.
