Highly Modified 2008 BMW M3 Convertible


Up for sale is my much loved 2008 E93 M3 convertible.  It has approximately 48k miles on it.  Circumstances force me to part with it.  I bought this car in 2012 as a CPO, and the CPO warranty expires on 1/31/2015.  It has been babied since then and tastefully modded.  It has just passed California smog.  The exterior color is ‘Sparkling Graphite’, the interior is black leather.


Mods include:

Klassen M52 Rims - Front: 19X9.5 ET27, 255/35ZR19 Michelin PSS, Rear: 19x11 ET31, 295/30ZR19 Michelin PSS

Shadowline trim blacked out

Painted Reflectors

Black kidney grills

Black side markers

Color match plate frame

Full Akrapovic Evolution Exhaust

Bilstein  PSS10 Coilovers

CiC Upgrade

ZHP Shift Knob

Sirius Satellite radio

LCI Taillights

Rogue Engineering Short Shift Kit

VF Engineering VF540 Supercharger

StopTech ST60/ST40 Big Brake Kit

BMW Pedals Aluminum Pedal Covers


I have most of the OEM parts that were replaced when these mods were installed.  Total cost on these mods is over $30k.  The mods were installed by Sonic MS and BR Racing, both rock solid BMW experts.


Since owning it, it has been in a minor accident where the front bumper was cracked to the point of replacement.  This was done in March 2013.  


Clean carfax available on request


I am well aware that highly modified cars are hard to price. Not everyone wants the same set of mods.  Given that, I am aggressively pricing this car at $60,000.  I’m sure I could get more by parting it out, but I simply don’t have the time.

BMW recalling all 2000-06 3 Series models over airbags in US, 1.6M globally

Wed, 16 Jul 2014

We just can't seem to get away from recalls involving the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata. There are already millions of vehicles in need of repair as a result of these ever-expanding campaigns, and BMW is adding another 1.6 million worldwide. The Bavarian automaker is issuing a recall for certain 3 Series models, including 574,000 of them in the US, to replace the passenger-side, front airbag inflator.
Specifically, the campaign covers 3 Series models from the 2000 through 2006 model years built between May 1999 and August 2006. "It's only the E46" generation of cars that are affected, which are now two model revisions old, according to BMW of North America spokesperson Matt Russell, speaking to Autoblog.
These models suffer the same problem as the rest of the vehicles with the faulty inflators. It's possible for the part to rupture during airbag deployment and possibly spray shrapnel at the occupant. However, according to BMW, the automaker isn't aware of any actual cases of this happening in any of its vehicles.

2014 BMW 320i

Tue, 24 Dec 2013

When BMW switched its entry level 3 Series, the 328i, from a naturally aspirated, 3.0-liter six-cylinder to a turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder, we weren't entirely sure what to think. Sure, from a pure numbers perspective, the new 2.0-liter cooked the old 3.0's goose, delivering more torque at far more accessible engine speeds while boosting horsepower and fuel economy.
While we miss that revvy six-pot, the numbers for the 2.0 were just way too good to pass up. Then we received news of an even less-powerful 2.0-liter 3 Series - the 320i. This was interesting, as it saw BMW delving into a power level previously owned solely by the anemic Lexus IS 250 and its six-cylinder engine.
Could BMW make a sub-200-horsepower sedan that still drove the way we expected a 3 Series to drive? To find out, we borrowed the new 320i for a week of testing.

Mini has become the Rover that BMW always wanted

Tue, Oct 27 2015

BMW has been working for 20 years to build a successful line of British cars, and on the evidence of the second-generation Mini Clubman, it may have finally done it. That means it's time for all of us to get used to the fact that Minis aren't going to be that small anymore. Case in point is this new Mini Clubman, introduced last month and conspicuous by its size. Many of us who've pointed to BMW's stewardship of Mini as an example of retro done right bemoaned the Countryman subcompact SUV – a concept actually ahead of its time. The Coupe and Roadster, perhaps rightfully, deserved (and received) an eye roll. But now there's a so-called four-door hardtop that went on sale this year and this forthcoming, six-door Clubman that approaches the compact hatchback class in size. These vehicles actually look like practical moves at keeping buyers from defecting to larger cars made by someone else, rather than vain attempts at maximizing investment in a set of parts. And in an interesting twist, Mini is turning into one of its ancestors – minus the feeling of inevitable doom. Many of us were led to believe somewhere since Mini's relaunch about 15 years ago that the brand would be a stepping stone into the greater BMW fold. But in reality, it's done exactly the opposite, creating a parallel brand for those not willing to embrace the BMW image, but leaning heavily on British nostalgia. That was sort of the reasoning used when BMW pulled the Rover Group of England away from a fruitful partnership with Honda in 1994 and absorbed it all. In the consolidate-or-die '90s, it made sense. BMW had a small, but successful, line of sedans. Rover had no success outside of Western Europe (its last US attempt at selling cars, the Sterling, ended three years earlier). Yet its Land Rover line of SUVs was just right for the time and the 35-year-old Mini still had image-conscious clout. With every passing day, the brilliance of BMW's move to abandon Rover in 2000 seems brighter. Even ditching Land Rover made sense in the long run (and probably saved Jaguar in the process). With every passing day, the brilliance of BMW's move to abandon Rover in 2000 seems brighter. During a chat with Mini USA VP David Duncan this summer, it became clear the Mini of the past is probably gone. A small, city-sized Mini is not necessarily off the table, but larger and more profitable models are coming first.
