Excellent condition. No known mechanical issues.
Electronically selected horsepower, suspension and steering control!
414 Horsepower at your command! Speed, luxury and power!
This has been my weekend car and I simply do not drive it very much. It has been garaged and professionally
maintained. Those of you that have done some research on these cars may know that the most common (and expensive)
mechanical problem are the throttle actuators and both the left and right banks were replaced last year. They are
warrantied for two years by a local BMW repair shop.
The exterior is in great shape, but this is a BLACK car! So the paint will show every minor scratch, chip and
swirl. The car looks great as you can see in the pictures, but it is nearly 8 years old and there are some minor
imperfections, but nothing disappointing.
The interior is in great condition with the leather seats in fine shape. There is some leather wear on the drivers
side upper bolster where it cannot be avoided. The trim is black carbon fiber soft touch material.
Completely stock, no modifications except for the M3 colored front kidney grilles and carbon fiber BMW logo badges
on the front, back, wheels and steering wheel. Original grilles will be included with sale.
Vehicle had a full inspection in October of last year. Here was the report out:
Front Brake Pads at 5mm
Rear Brake Pads at 9mm
Front Tires at 8/32"
Rear Tires at 6/32"
Brake Fluid at 4% moisture
No Service Lights
No Check Messages
I've been getting a few questions about the insurance claim listed on the AutoCheck. If there was an actual
accident then it must have been superficial as there is nothing visually to indicate anything serious.. I had one
interested party that physically inspected the vehicle and could find nothing wrong. Anyone who is interested is
more than welcome to both inspect the car in person and take it for a test drive.

Playboy reveals its 2013 Cars of the Year
Thu, 20 Dec 2012Vaunted men's magazine Playboy knows that its readers are nearly as interested in cars as they are in the female anatomy... sorry, we thought we could write that with a straight face. Anyway, the buff-book does occasionally fill some of its spreads with sexy metal, to accent all the rest of the sexiness.
To wit, the magazine has unveiled its feature on the 2013 Cars of the Year. Without giving us much in the way of criteria for the awards, nor a clear framing of the categories ("Responsible Ride" is a particularly challenging concept, especially when you consider that the Mazdaspeed3 was the winner), Playboy has nevertheless highlighted what we assume to be it's favorite 12 or 13 (depending on how you count) cars from the 2013 model year.
Headlining the class is the Porsche 911, which Playboy writers single out for having "remarkable electronic voodoo." BMW M5 is named "Slickest Sports Sedan" though the Cadillac ATS then follows on because "we couldn't resist giving the new Caddy a shout-out." The rest of the picks are pretty conventional (save, perhaps, the Honda Fit EV as "Ace Electric"), even if the categories and methodology are fairly wonky. Cruise through or gallery for a taste or check out the full list, here. The site is safe for work, and you can legitimately (this time) say that you were reading it for the articles.
BMW i3 misses top Euro safety rating [w/videos]
Wed, 27 Nov 2013The Euro NCAP just tested a recent batch of new cars including the 2014 BMW i3, and the EV Bimmer scored less-than-perfect results. Though not horrible, BMW's all-electric/range-extended i3 was given a four-star (out of five possible) crash rating due to concerns with front-occupant whiplash and side-impact protection.
Based on the crash results, the BMW provided suitable protection for occupants in the frontal, side barrier, pedestrian and child-seat tests, but the i3 was tripped up when it came to the more severe side pole test and the rear-impact test. The pole test showed protection to the chest of the test dummy was "weak," and the front seats only provided "marginal" protection against whiplash for front passengers. Scroll down to watch two videos released by the Euro NCAP of the i3 being tested.
Wagons make a bit of a comeback, with new models, sales on the rise
Thu, Jan 10 2019Consider this an official invitation to hop on the wagon bandwagon. There's still tons of room because, well, it's a wagon (and market share is still extremely small). But according to new data, the segment is growing. According to a report from Bloomberg, using data from Edmunds.com, roughly 211,600 Americans purchased wagons in 2018. That is technically down from the 237,600 sold in 2017, but wagon sales in the U.S. are up 29 percent from where they were five years ago. It's also the third year in a row that wagon sales broke the 200,000 mark. The sales trends have been somewhat representative of the availability of wagons. New models have debuted during the past 5 years and therefore offer more opportunity at more brands to buy wagons. In addition to more modest cars such as the Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen, several luxury and performance brands are offering wagons today, such as Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, Jaguar, Volvo and Buick. (Bloomberg's headlines make the point that "crossovers are for the Kardashians," and wagons are just, well, classier.) This uptick in brand-name availability, as well as extremely well-executed design on most of the wagons currently available, has helped increase the segment's desirability. That, and its ability to better accomplish the same tasks at hand while standing out from the crossover and SUV crowd. Still, the posted numbers represent a small fraction of the total vehicles sold. According to the data, wagons only held a 1.4 percent market share in 2017, the segment's best recent year. Wagons hold a steadfast place in America's past, and they're writing an interesting new story. With the downturn in traditional cars, they may continue to create an unexpected narrative.
