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.

BMW 1 Series with B38 three-cylinder engine

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Downsizing For BMW's Front-Wheel-Drive And i Futures
Output is quoted at 175 horsepower and BMW says it will hit 62 mph in 7.0 seconds.
The red five-door BMW 1 Series seen in this photo gallery has little to do with what is actually of importance here. What we've just tested at an airfield not far from Munich, Germany, is a new 1.5-liter TwinPower Turbo inline three-cylinder gas engine that we'll be hearing an awful lot about in the coming few years.

BMW planning X4 M Performance diesel? [w/poll]

Wed, 04 Dec 2013

With the arrival of the new X4 in March, BMW will expand its crossover portfolio by one more model. But while some enthusiasts may have been disappointed by the news that the Bavarian automaker isn't likely to authorize an M version of the compact slantback crossover, this latest development could help bridge the gap.
Although the line used to be quite clear between standard BMWs and M models, Munich has been blurring it with the M Performance treatment. Those have included models like the M135i hatchback and M235i coupe, the diesel-powered M550d sedan and wagon and X5 and X6 M50d crossovers. Now word has it that BMW could follow a similar formula with the X4, creating a sub-M performance model.
What's more is that the X4 M Performance model could go diesel, following a similar formula that Audi undertook with its first performance crossover, the SQ5 TDI. The major difference here is that when Audi brought the SQ5 to these shores, it ditched the diesel for a gasoline engine. Could BMW do the same?

BMW M135i vs. Mercedes A45 AMG in Euro small-lux throwdown

Fri, 19 Jul 2013

BMW and Mercedes-Benz - please, please, please bring the M135i and A45 AMG hatchbacks to North America. For as long as we can remember, buyers in the New World have been forced to look longingly at Europe and Great Britain and the excellent super hatches that are so routinely offered there. And while we're quite content with the Ford Focus ST and Volkswagen GTI, having a 360-horse five-door with a premium, content-rich interior sounds quite nice.
Our envy for Europe has grown after watching the latest video from Drive, which stars Chris Harris, the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG and the BMW M135i. This latest battle between MB and BMW takes place on both road and track, with Harris providing a running commentary. If you're interested in the upcoming Mercedes CLA45 AMG, you should pay special attention to the section on the A45, as the two are essentially fraternal twins. While the video is a bit on the long side, it provides a comprehensive rundown of both cars, giving those of us in North America just a small taste of what we're missing.
