2004 Bmw M3 Base Convertible 70k Miles, Excellent Condition on 2040-cars

2004 M3 convertible, 70,8xx miles.  6 speed manual.  Impeccably maintained, recent inspection II with valve adjustment.  Oil change within 500 miles.  Runs flawlessly.  Silver/black leather.  Top is in perfect condition, and factory windscreen is included.  Heated and power seats, leather is in great condition with expected wear on driver’s bolster, steering wheel.  Non smoker car, garage kept at all times.

New brakes at 65k, brand new rear tires, front tires 80%.  I recently had polyurethane trailing arm bushings installed as the stock rubber bushings were causing premature tire wear on the rear tires.  The poly bushings don’t squeak.  Two tasteful mods: Borla stainless midpipe and Rogue Engineering El Diablo stainless muffler (no more rasp, deeper tone but not louder than stock), and an AFE cold air intake.  I have the stock exhaust and airbox and will absolutely include in the sale.  The El Diablo muffler sounds great and looks even better with larger polished exhaust tips.  Top of the line Alpine CDA-117 with Bluetooth integrated phone, iphone/ipod and trunk is prewired for a subwoofer (RCA and line).  Stock stereo included as well.

Paint is near flawless with the exception of a surface scratch on the passenger door.  Very subtle.  A few years back an empty coffee can flew out of a pickup truck on the freeway and hit the left fog light and part of the hood.  I had the repair done at Anthony’s Auto Craft in San Rafael, CA, which is the authorized repair shop for Ferrari, Mercedes and BMW.  Autocheck reports the car was in an accident “left front corner” but this doesn’t report the full picture.  The car was not in a collision; road debris caused the need for a cosmetic repair and the paintwork was done at the best possible shop.  I stress ‘cosmetic’ because there was no body work needed, just repaint (hood and bumper) and replace the foglight.  I have the invoice from Anthony’s for your review. 

I hate to sell the M3 but my wife doesn’t drive manual shift.  I bought this car in 2010 from a private party with 36k miles and it had the factory warranty at that time.  I can’t stress enough that this car has been maintained very well; all service, oil changes and needed maintenance has been performed at timely intervals.  This M3 road warrior is setup perfectly and will make the next owner very happy.

This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]

Thu, 09 Oct 2014

The last time I roped a coworker into an automotive debate, I lost. Resoundingly, I might add. Still, 2,385 voters chose to cast their lots for the Fiat 500 Abarth, as opposed to 5,273 choosing the Ford Fiesta ST, and so I can rest easy in the knowledge that at least 30 percent of you, dear readers, see things my way. I still like to think we have more fun, too.
My loss in the first round of our This or That series, in which two Autoblog editors pick sides on any given topic and then attempt to explain why the other is completely wrong, didn't stop me from picking another good-natured fight, this time with Senior Editor Seyth Miersma. Last time, our chosen sides were eerily similar in design, albeit quite different in actual execution. This time, our vehicular peculiarities couldn't seemingly fall any further from one another: A 1980 Oldsmobile 442 wouldn't seem to match up in comparison to a 1989 BMW 635CSi.
How did we come up with such disparate contenders? Simple, really. Seyth and I mutually agreed to choose a car that's currently for sale online. It had to be built and sold in the 1980s, and it had to be a coupe. The price cap was set at $10,000. The fruits of our searching labors will henceforth be disputed, with Seyth on the side of the Germans, and myself arguing in favor of the Rocket Olds. Am I setting myself up for another lopsided loss?

BMW 2 Series Active Tourer corners surprisingly flat on 'Ring

Mon, 07 Jul 2014

With seven seats and front-wheel drive, you might not expect the upcoming long-wheelbase version of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer to live up to the Ultimate Driving Machine reputation that BMW has fostered over the years. But the latest spy clip from the Nürburgring suggests otherwise.
The Bavarian automaker has apparently been testing its new people mover on the Nordschleife, getting it ready to join the growing 2 Series family. And though it's wearing heavy camouflage, we can clearly see from the video below that it's cornering impressively flat - which bodes well for those who'll need to transport their expanding family but aren't prepared to give up on handling.

Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a roll in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time.
BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall.
Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands
