2005 Bmw M3 Zcp - Interlagos Blue - 6mt - 50k - Perfect on 2040-cars
Miami, Florida, United States
|
2005 BMW M3 Interlagos Blue Metallic Black Leather with M cloth inserts 50,600 miles * Location: Miami (33133) 6 Speed Manual Transmission ZCP - Competition Package (14.5:1 steering rack, M track mode, special interior trim, larger cross-drilled brake rotors) Manual Seats Heated Seats Xenon Headlights Harmon Kardon Sunroof There is very little to say about this car: You will be buying a car that is perfect externally, perfect internally, perfect mechanically, has low mileage for its age, and will provide years of driving enjoyment without any stress. Due to my free time to tinker and desire to deliver a perfect car, I replaced just about everything rubber underneath the car just in case their 9-year old age might cause issues despite the low mileage. This includes the engine mounts, front control arm bushings, guibo, transmission mounts, driveshaft center mount/bearing, and RTAB. The dust cap had fallen off of the belt tensioner pulley so I replaced the tensioner, bolt, caps, and idler pulleys as well as the belt as a precaution. The car has new air filter, cabin air filter, fluids (all OE except for Motul 600 brake fluid), front tires, lower center dash trim, plastic center console (with an extra armrest), interior bulbs, clean throttle bodies and idle control valve, and new battery within the last few weeks. Other notes: Inspection II with Valve adjustment at 42000; re-inspected valve clearances and VANOS at 50500 Rear tires at 42000 No subframe cracks Rear bumper re-sprayed from small marks made above diffuser during shipping New front brake rotors Curbed front wheel replaced, nicked rear wheel repaired Alignment Never smoked in The car is currently 100% stock with the exception of Koni shocks/H&R springs (which provide a very slight drop and in my opinion ride better than stock), Rogue RSMs, and Powerflex RTAB. If desired, I can return either or both of these to stock. If paid to do so, I can do other work such as subframe reinforcement and/or Beisan VANOS bulletproofing. [Additionally, because I own two other E46 M3s, I have a garage full of parts at my disposal, any of which may be used to sort of build this car to order, if that is desired. I'm speaking mainly of minor visual things like smoked corners, black kidneys and side grilles, matte trunk emblem, but as you can see in a few photos, I've had the car out with my 18x9.5et22 Apex ARC-8 custom gunmetal powdercoated setup while repairing the rear wheel; If you prefer the darker look, we can certainly make that happen. (I personally prefer the contrast of the OE chrome on blue, but this color looks so good it works both ways.) There could be other suspension and exhaust options as well. If you want AKG poly everything or Vibra Technics engine/trans mounts, etc, that can all be done. Just ask.] This car has had three prior owners: Two in the NY/NJ area and one near St. Louis who purchased the car in mid 2012 at 42k miles. It has a clean carfax (I can provide this to you as of February 2014) and no accident history. I purchased the car from him with the intention of driving it to Chicago to replace the 2004 Mystic Blue M3 pictured in my signature, which is about to hit 100k miles (and to take that car's 4.10 differential and a few other things as my "commission.") The buyer for that car didn't pan out, which was a risk that fortunately I was financially able to take. Since then I've kept the car here with me in Miami and gradually combed over every inch of the car taking it from purchase-worthy to collector-worthy. I firmly believe that it fits that description, and I won't sell you anything but the exact car that you expect and demand. I fully intend to own 3 uniquely purposed E46 M3s in the intermediate future, and let me tell you I'm tempted to keep this one every single day, but my plan is very specific, so I'm keeping my Alpine White/LSB 2005 M3 coupe instead. Included below are links to the only two other cars I've ever sold; Since purchasing my first car in August 2000 I have owned nothing but E46s, selling these two only to graduate in 2011 to a 2005 E46 M3 ZCP (this is all detailed in my M3F journal). I know this car inside and out and I link these to illustrate the fact that I have absolutely nothing whatsoever to hide, and I favor honesty, transparency, and an easy sale to a few extra dollars. (Or in the case of the 330Ci, which was later sold dishonestly on eBay for over a $3k profit, many extra dollars.) If you want to know anything about this car's story, my own 14-year E46 history of obsession, or anything else for that matter, just ask. http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=842315 http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=700791 As described, in stock form: $28,500 Anything else, we can discuss and arrange. Want a euro tray in the center console? A cinnamon interior? Different wheels? TCK coilovers? Exhaust stuff? Multifunction Steering Wheel Retrofit? Just ask. * - (rising as I drive) |

BMW recalling 1 Series ActiveE over bad drivetrain housing
Wed, 30 Jan 2013There are always growing pains when automakers introduce new technologies. BMW is learning this with the electric powetrain used on the 2011 BMW ActiveE. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, about half of the all-electric 1 Series coupes currently in the hands of the public are being recalled for a potential problem that could leave the cars stranded.
With 700 ActiveE models running around the US, 360 of these cars have insufficient sealing between the electric motor and transmission, which could lead to premature wear to the connection between the two, which in turn could result in a loss of propulsion. BMW started notifying affected owners by phone earlier this month.
While no automaker wants a recall on its hands, it's much better for BMW to learn such a lesson now on the low-production, lease-only ActiveE ahead of the car's successor, the BMW i3, which is expected to be a much higher-volume EV. Scroll down for the official recall notification.
BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe caught again
Tue, 02 Apr 2013It's been a while since we've seen the upcoming BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe out testing, but we're sort of inclined to ask "Why?" yet again. After all, the 4 Series is what the new 3 Series-based coupes and convertibles will be called, so the idea of another four-door version just sort of seems redundant. In other words, just how different will a 4 Series Gran Coupe be from a 3 Series sedan, aside from perhaps a more rakish roofline or a four-passenger seating configuration? Probably not much, but BMW clearly thinks it can use the additional bodystyle to rake in some extra profits.
Anyway, back to these spy shots. No more of the 4GC's skin has been revealed since the last time we saw it, but we fully expect it to share a lot of its design DNA with the 3 Series sedan, not to mention the attractive 4 Series coupe concept that bowed at this year's Detroit Auto Show.
Powertrain options should carry over direct from the 3 Series line, so we expect to see 428i and 435i models on hand, packing turbocharged four- and six-cylinder engines, respectively. We're sure that BMW's xDrive all-wheel drive will be available, and who knows, we could even get a 428d version with the new 2.0-liter turbodiesel four that debuted in the 328d at the New York Auto Show last week, or even an M4 variant.
Motor Trend first to compare Jaguar XE and BMW 3 Series
Tue, Jun 30 2015How many automakers have loaded up how much ammo and taken how many shots at the BMW 3 Series? Yet here we are, decades on and at least a decade away from the 3 Series' halcyon days, waiting for someone to give the sport sedan something beyond a flesh wound. In this most recent episode of Head 2 Head, Johnny Lieberman goes to Spain to figure out if the Jaguar XE is the sedan to do it. Here the champion wears the guise of the 335i M Sport, powered by a 3.0-liter, turbocharged, inline-six with a square 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque run through a ZF eight-speed transmission. After a short time behind the wheel Lieberman quotes from a familiar hagiography, saying it's evident "just how great this car is and why it defines the segment." The all-aluminum challenger from Jaguar comes in XES trim, meaning a 3.0-liter, supercharged V6 with 340 hp and 332 lb-ft. It uses the same eight-speed transmission as the BMW, but with different programming. According to the specs in the video, some of which are manufacturer estimates, the Jaguar is heavier, more expensive, and much thirstier at the pump. Away from the spreadsheet, Lieberman holds that the XE looks better and feels more special inside. In case you're wondering, the comparo was done before MT could get its mitts on the 320-hp BMW 340i. Lieberman says the English company spent its money on the XE suspension and it shows, but there have been other efforts from other automakers with excellent dynamic chops that weren't enough to threaten the BMW. His final assessment is that one of the two cars is awesome, and one is quite a bit better. Watch the video to find out which is which.
