This auction is for a single owner, 2004 BMW M3 in excellent original condition!

It's black on black with the optional 19" wheels shod in Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires with plenty of tread left.

This car has always and only ever been serviced at BMW of Towson and strictly by the book. Every service ever called for was performed in sequence and on time including the very expensive valve adjustments and inspections. There were three recalls of which this model year were susceptible - all three were immediately performed, again at Towson BMW. The only service ever not performed at Towson BMW was the brand new OEM clutch assembly that was installed by Pikesville Automotive just two weeks ago! While out, the transmission and flywheel were inspected and found to be in proper operational condition. The SMG ECU transmission control module was reprogrammed following the installation and now the transmission shifts fast and flawlessly through all six gears! They also changed the oil with fully synthetic Castrol 10W60 and replaced the battery. All records are on file back to 2007 at Towson BMW. Apparently their system was purged of everything prior to that year. I can furnish those records as well.

The car does have 163,500 miles so I won't say it's in perfect condition but it is in great condition. The exterior has a couple small minor dings that any decent paintless dent repair guy could easily pop out. No major dents, scratches or scuffs. NO ACCIDENTS!! The wheels are in less than great condition but are perfectly functional - there is a bit of curb rash on each wheel, though no bends or dents. Otherwise, the exterior looks like the garage kept car it is - GREAT!

The interior is also in very good condition. The leather is excellent with no tears, scuffs or wear marks, front or rear. The carpet and headliner are also great. The only issue with the interior is the bit of paint crackling around the shift knob and window switches on the center console and steering wheel...this is strictly cosmetic and really doesn't look that bad at all. Otherwise, the interior is also in very good shape.

Mechanically the car needs nothing to my knowledge. It starts right up and drives the way it was designed to from the factory...like a champ! All the bells and whistle - window switches, sunroof, power and heated seats, door locks, Harmon Kardon stereo, etc - function properly.

The car is in all original condition except for the front corner and side lights which were replaced with the darker euro-style lights that look a lot better next to the factory Xenon lights.

Not much else to report at this point. I encourage any interested bidders to come see and test drive the vehicle but if you'd rather not and just bid, please do so with confidence. Trust me, the car is as described. 

Cash payment is preferred, followed by check and then Paypal if necessary. Title is in hand and clear.

Feel free to call with any question.

Thanks,

JAS

BMW i3 with range extender could arrive after HOV stickers run out in CA

Tue, Feb 25 2014

We will weep for the BMW i3 REx owner with ticket #40,001 for California's green HOV stickers. While the standard-issue battery-electric i3 has been deemed eligible for the state's white stickers, which allow for owners to drive in HOV lanes solo, the proverbial jury of the California Air Resources Board (CARB) is still out on the BMW i3 REx, which will have a little-bitty range-extender on board, Transport Evolved says. The issue is that, while there is an unlimited number of white stickers for pure EVs such as the Nissan Leaf and Tesla Model S, the state has limited the number of green stickers, which grant solo-HOV access to plug-in hybrids and extended-range plug-ins, to 40,000. And with almost 29,000 green stickers given out as of the end of last year to cars such as the Chevrolet Volt and the Toyota Prius Plug In, they may run out within two months. The other key point is that the waiting list for the i3 with a range extender is running at about six months as of January, that could cause a bit of hand-wringing among folks looking to buy the REx. BMW said earlier this year that the extended-range version of the i3 would qualify for white stickers because the car is a so-called BEVx, meaning that its range-extender's full-tank range is less than the electric motor's single-charge range. BMW designed the i3 with a small range-extender tank of just 2.4 gallons, but the automaker estimated that California's green stickers wouldn't run out until the end of 2014.

BMW 5 Series wagon makes incognito grocery run by way of the 'Ring

Mon, 21 Jul 2014

With a debut in 2009, it's high time that BMW delivered the world with the standard mid-cycle refresh of its popular 5 Series. While we aren't expecting to see it here in the United States, that freshening will include the vehicle shown above, the 5 Series wagon.
This is only the second time we've spotted the camo'd, long-roof 5er in the past year, and while it was chained to a flat-bed in those snaps, today, we can see it lapping the Nürburgring. In addition to the images from the track, we also have our first look at the cabin of the freshened 5 Series, although even it is covered in camouflage, making it quite difficult to spot anything of substance.
As for the exterior, expect modest changes for the second-half of the F10 5er's life, with typical tweaks like new headlights and taillights, and perhaps a freshened front fascia. Considering we last saw the upcoming 5 Series just over a year ago, we'd expect an auto show debut for this smoothed-over model in the not-so-distant future, with Paris a leading candidate.

Recharge Wrap-up: Renault's electric motors, BMW i3 is AM free

Wed, Jul 1 2015

Why isn't AM radio offered in the BMW i3? Some drivers – particularly those interested in local traffic reports – have noticed its absence. BMW says that the electromagnetic interference from the electric drivetrain caused poor performance, and that while reception wasn't always terrible, it wasn't up to their standards. Rather than have customers complain to their dealers, who would be unable to do anything for them, BMW has disabled AM reception in the i3. Some customers have hacked their cars in order to enable the AM radio, despite possible warranty issues, and have found the reception to be acceptable. Read more at Green Car Reports. Saab's current parent company, National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS), broke ground for production and R&D facilities in Tianjin, China. The facilities are part of joint ventures with the city of Tianjin and State Research Information Technology (SRIT). In addition to investments of over $190 million from SRIT and Teamsun, NEVS has received $1.6 billion in credit from the Bank of China to develop its business there. The new Tianjin factory will have a capacity of 200,000 new energy vehicles per year. The facility in Trollhattan, Sweden will provide manufacturing planning, training, and product supply for the Tianjin plant. Read more at Green Car Congress, and in the press release from NEVS. Renault is building the new R240 electric motor for the Zoe at its Cleon plant. The plant and its employees, which specialize in the Energy dCi diesel engine, have adapted to produce high volumes of the electric motor as well, including a 6,000 hours of training for the staff and millions of dollars in investments. "We aim to become the leading powertrain plant for the Alliance," says Cleon plant director Mendi Ammad. The plant is capable of producing 50,000 units of the R240 motor per year, with that number expected to double in the future. Read more about the plant and the production process the press release below. NEW ELECTRIC MOTOR STRENGTHENS POWERTRAIN EXPERTISE AT CLEON ZOE's new electric motor, unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show, is a 100% Renault motor manufactured at the French site of Cleon, already specialized in highly technical powertrain production. Until now, the flagship of the Cleon plant was the Energy dCi (130, 140, 160) internal-combustion engine. The diesel unit with advanced technological content has made a name for itself at Groupe Renault, the Alliance and with our partners.
