2004 M3 Convertible 6 Speed Mt All Service Records Up To Date on 2040-cars
Riverview, Michigan, United States
You are bidding on a beautiful 2004 BMW M3 Convertible with cold weather package with the 19" rims.. Car is bone stock. Has had all major service done recently with receipts included. This car was brought to Michigan from down south, sunny Atlanta Georgia. That means no salt or pot holes. 90 Autocheck which is above average. It shows me as the 3rd owner. This machine drives strong and like a beast. 4 wheel alignment was done about two months ago so it drives straight as an arrow. Newer tires on the rear with about 5k miles on them. Front tires will need to be replaced soon they are at about 20-30%. Has the stock BMW radio with Harmon Kardon speakers. Speakers sound great however the tweeters on the front doors will need to be replaced. I try to be as honest when listing my vehicles on E-Bay so please if there are any questions feel free to contact me before hand. I am willing to do face time or Skype with potential buyers so they can do a walk around. I encourage all potential buyers to come see the vehicle in person. This car is a beauty and must be seen in person to be fully appreciated. Rims have some curb rashes and scratches and could use a reconditioning but in no way affect the drive or performance of this car. Shipping is buyers responsibility. Car has no rattles, squeaks, leaks noises or any issues or indications of issues what so ever. This car has none of those "vanos" or sagging tail end issues. Runs and drives tight as you would expect from a M3. Where ever there was a concern I had it addressed asap. Being a used car I am still selling the car as is with no gaurantees, however with all the service done to it I would consider this to be as clean as they get. Power top works flawlessly. No issues opens and closes with the touch of a button every time. No rips or disfiguration on the soft top either. This car has normal blemishes that you would expect from a car its age, but is in a lot better condition than most. Some of the recent service done include but is not limited to: new gaskets new brakes/rotors/sensors new steering lines synthetic oil change new spark plugs new air filter/cabin filter/fuel filter manual transmission fluid flush (MTF 2) differential fluid flush (redline 75W-140) brake system flush (ATE type 200) power steering fluid (Redline synthetic) valve cover gasket/ gronments/ bushings lower subframe reinforcement plate. 4 wheel alignment All of this service was performed on March 25th 2014 in Atlanta Ga before I picked up the car. I had the car dropped off to a bmw indy shop and told them do whatever they felt the car needed to make it in prime shape. For those collectors, this is it. For any M3 Enthusiast, it doesn't get much better than this. Have the piece of mind of owning a premium car with ALL maintenance up to date. Clutch shifts strong and has no problems. This is one exhilarating car to drive, that begs for more every time. Imperfections: small dent on passenger side door (see pics) front tweeters on the door will need to be replaced soon passenger arm rest is wore out (see pics) rims have curb rash (see pics) some curb rash on the bottom of front bumpers (see pics) Options: Bi Xenon headlights Car has the cold weather package and the seat warmers work great!!

BMW X4 slantback is nearly here
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Another day, another new BMW spied. Sometimes it feels like Bimmer is developing so many new models that in the future, every buyer will get their own unique car. The latest one spied is the upcoming BMW X4 that was launched as a concept nearly a year ago. The Bavarians still see a need to camouflage the rear end of its prototypes, though.
As you can see, the production version is hewing very closely to the concept. If you peer around the camo, the headlights have the same shape, but the foglights are a new addition. The rear roofline seems quite similar to concept, too, but the back end is still somewhat more mysterious because the masking and dirt hide a lot. Still, it doesn't seem like the production model is going to be radically different from the concept based on the previous test cars we spied in the past. It also strikes us as very similar in size and form to the already available 3 Series Gran Turismo, with which it is expected to share a great deal.
Our wait might not be very long to see the midsize German CUV undisguised, because the X4's debut is rumored for the New York Auto Show on April 16 with a reveal as early as March 14.
Researchers halfway to cutting carbon fiber costs by 90%
Wed, 15 Oct 2014Carbon fiber has been utilized for decades to build racecars, as a means to cut weight while maintaining strength. But until recently, the space-age material has been largely absent from the street on anything but supercars because of the expense to use it. Recently, BMW signaled a major shift in that trend when it starting using carbon fiber reinforced plastic panels on the i3 and i8. This relatively small scale start might be just the beginning; the German company believes that a breakthrough to inexpensively manufacture the lightweight stuff is just on the horizon.
MAI Carbon Cluster Management GmbH counts BMW, Audi, Airbus, the German government and many other organizations as supporters, and it's researching how to make carbon fiber cheaper to produce, according to Automotive News Europe. The company thinks it can reduce costs by 90 percent in the near future. "We've certainly reached a halfway point on our cost-cutting target for suitable carbon-fiber parts," said project head Klaus Drechsler to Automotive News Europe.
Unfortunately, it isn't entirely clear just what MAI Carbon is doing to make such a huge leap possible. However, a recent post on the company's website talks about a new form a carbon fiber using a thermoplastic matrix that could be cured in less than three minutes. That's compared to about 90 minutes in the traditional process with an autoclave.
BMW planning plug-in hybrid versions of core models
Tue, Dec 2 2014To the casual observer, there's a sort of schism in the world of fuel sipping. The Japanese, Koreans and Americans have embraced electrification by way of hybrid powertrains, while our German friends lean towards diesel technology. BMW is actively pushing to change that impression, as it's announced that it will take a break from niche-busting MPVs and lifted, four-door coupes to produce plug-in hybrid versions of some of its "core-brand" models. This charge will be led by a 3 Series eDrive, whose innards are shown above, with BMW fitting a version of its turbocharged four-cylinder and an electric motor to its popular sedan. This, it should be noted, is quite a departure from the ActiveHybrid 3, which relies on a thirstier 3.0-liter, turbocharged six-cylinder. More specific details, such as the total system output, the electric range of the plug-in system or the amount of time it will take to charge, aren't yet available. BMW has, however, said the eDrive 3's systems are "directly based" on those used in the i3 and i8, and that includes larger components, like the lithium-ion battery and electric motor. "All BMW Group models benefit from BMW i. The fundamental technology involved in battery cells, electric motors and the power electronics will be used in our upcoming plug-in hybrid models," said BMW board member Herbert Diess. "When it comes to the electrification of the drivetrain, we are deliberately developing a wide-ranging expertise in order to offer our customers worldwide the ideal solution." BMW will unveil a prototype of the 3 Series eDrive in Miramas, France, although it's not clear when either it, or the X5 eDrive the company mentioned in its attached press release, will arrive to market. New generation of plug-in hybrid models Munich/Miramas. The BMW Group is preparing to follow up its innovative and revolutionary BMW i models with plug-in hybrid versions of the core-brand models. In Miramas, France, it will present a BMW 3 Series plug-in hybrid prototype and a new generation of hybrid vehicle concepts incorporating technology already used in BMW i models. Long term, the BMW Group is planning to offer plug-in hybrid versions of all its core-brand models. Herbert Diess, Member of the Board of Management BMW AG, Development, said: "All BMW Group models benefit from BMW i. The fundamental technology involved in battery cells, electric motors and the power electronics will be used in our upcoming plug-in hybrid models.
