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.

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.

12 best hybrid SUVs for 2022

Tue, Jun 15 2021

If you're searching for the best hybrid SUV, the truth is there actually aren't that many choices. While there's an endless sea of those powered solely by gasoline, those that add batteries and superior fuel economy to the mix are few and far between. The very good news, however, is that the choices you have are actually excellent. The top-selling and top-rated Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 are not only available as hybrids, for instance, but are actually at their most appealing as hybrids.  Luxury hybrid SUVs are a different story. While Lexus offers each of its crossover SUVs as a conventional hybrid, those of other brands are by and large plug-in hybrids that provide a relatively brief amount of all-electric propulsion, superior fuel economy and higher prices that are somewhat countered by EV tax rebates. We include both conventional hybrids and plug-in hybrids in the below list of best hybrid SUVs. All are listed alphabetically within each category. Best small hybrid SUVs   |   Best midsize hybrid SUVs Best luxury hybrid SUVs   |   Best luxury plug-in hybrid SUVs Best small hybrid SUVs Honda CR-V Hybrid Why it stands out: Best-in-class back seat space; hybrid's distinctive EV-like power delivery; middle lower LATCH anchorCould be better: Antiquated and glitchy tech interface; a bit dull Hybrid fuel economy: 38 mpg combined (AWD only) Read our 2022 Honda CR-V Review Consider the CR-V the baseline for any compact SUV search. Objectively speaking, it's tough to beat due to its massive cargo capacity, voluminous back seat, well-balanced driving dynamics, competitive pricing and features, strong safety ratings and well-regarded reliability. In terms of its hybridness, we like that Honda's distinctive hybrid system sees most of its propulsion handled by the electric motor (the engine rarely powers the wheels directly), resulting in a more EV-like, torque-rich power delivery and a less obtrusive gas engine. For the vast majority of compact SUV buyers, and especially families, the CR-V Hybrid checks every box.    Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Why it stands out: Beautiful interior; excellent infotainment and safety technology; traditional automatic transmissionCould be better: No spare tire; styling a tad outrageous Hybrid fuel economy: 37-38 mpg combined (AWD only) Plug-in hybrid electric range: 33 miles Plug-in hybrid fuel economy: 80 MPGe Read our 2022 Hyundai Tucson Review The Tucson is the new kid in town and it's made quite an entrance.

10 best new car deals in late September 2021

Wed, Sep 29 2021

New car sales were drastically affected in 2020 due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but things started to show signs of recovery toward the end of the year before really coming on strong in the early months of 2021. Now there's an ongoing shortage of microchips causing a great deal of pricing fluctuation and a limited supply of certain vehicles. That doesn't mean there aren't still great deals on new cars, though. Using data provided by TrueCar, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best automotive deals for September 2021. WeÂ’ve noted the original MSRP, the average transaction price, and the total savings in both dollars and as a percentage of the original sticker price. Basically, weÂ’ve done all the hard work for you! So now, all you need to do is compare deals, go on a few test drives, and maybe drive away in a great car (and an even better bargain).
