2013 Bmw E92 M3 Lime Rock Edition.. on 2040-cars
Walnut Creek, California, United States
I'm doing the unthinkable, selling the one car I thought I was going to keep for years to come, needs change, expenses go up and unfortunately for me this amazing car must go…
The car is perfect, I bought it brand new and took great care of it from the moment I drove it off showroom. I adhered to the proper break in steps and always made sure it got the best care it deserved. It does not have a single door ding, scratch, chip or any other blemish. Here are some facts about this remarkable car for those of you whom may not be familiar with it; - Only 200 of these were ever made. - I believe about 30 to 40 were in 6 speed manual. - The E92 was the last of M3 coupes and perhaps only M3 that will ever be fitted with a V8 engine. - It's the opinion of many experts that this M3 generation will be one of very few modern cars to become future classic, - Out of all the 2008 to 2013 M3 production run, ONLY 200 were like this, this makes the car rarest of a future classic and in my opinion one of the best M3s ever made. - Here is your chance to own this wonderful car, I'm sure I will regret selling it in the future. This Lime Rock is all stock with exception of the 20 inch Vorsteiner Technik Performance wheels fitted with 285/30 ZR20 Michelins in rear and 255/30 ZR 20s in front, tires have over 80% thread. Factory options are; - Lime Rock package ( Orange paint, black Novillo leather interior, Titanium sport exhaust, flat bottom Alcantara steering wheel, carbon fiber rear spoiler and front spoiler lips). - Competition package( Dynamic Damper Control, carbon fiber roof). - Cold weather package ( front heated seats, Ski bag, retractable headlight washers). - Premium package( Power folding mirrors, universal garage opener, comfort access, power rear shade, park distance control, Navigation system, Voice command, real time traffic info). - Carbon leather trim. - Certificate of authenticity signed head of BMW M division and head of BMW NA. - Here is a very cool fact about this car, BMW originally sent two copies of the certificate of authenticity with an error in the VIN!! They sent two other copies later with correct VIN, I have all the copies, this is probably the only one with two wrong COAs and two correct ones, very cool. - The Vorsteiners are forged, set retails for almost $8K. - Much much more.. In the interest of full disclosure I need to mention the front right rim has a one inch curb rash ( pictured). I had the clear front bra installed when I bought the car and a few weeks ago I noticed two small tares, there are no damages to the paint, looks like the clear bra did it's job. The rear wheels rub a bit at freeway speed if there is a medium or large dip, although this is not causing any damage to the car but it should be noted. I really hate having to sell this car and I hope someone else can appreciate it and keep it for a long time as I know it will become a sought after BMW. I might consider a trade of a clean low milage E30 325is with 5 speed or an M roadster. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions. |

2014 BMW 2 Series configurator drifts online
Wed, 15 Jan 2014Monday marked the official, live unveiling of the 2014 BMW 2 Series. Not a company to rest on its laurels, BMW has unveiled the online configurator for the replacement to the much-loved 1 Series. Potential customers can select from either the 228i or go all-out and get the M235i. We shouldn't have to explain which car we've been building all day.
As a recap, a base 228i starts at $32,100 not counting a $925 destination charge. It includes 240 horsepower, 258 pound-feet of torque and, when optioned with the six-speed manual rather than the eight-speed automatic, a perfect 50/50 weight distribution (the 8AT balances at 50.3 in front and 49.7 in back). The M235i, meanwhile, starts at $43,100 (although you can't actually buy one for that, because the configurator forces you into a $1,450 Dakota leather interior). It offers up significantly more grunt, with 320 hp and 320 lb-ft from its 3.0-liter, turbocharged straight six.

Hyundai, Kia, Genesis and Subaru clean up in IIHS 2018 safety ratings
Thu, Dec 7 2017Hyundai, its partner Kia and its Genesis division are the big winners in the latest vehicle safety ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, accounting for six of the 15 models that earned the Top Safety Pick+ awards for 2018. Subaru was right behind with four, Mercedes-Benz had two, and Toyota, BMW and Ford each had one. Another 47 vehicles earned the Top Safety Pick designation, where Toyota had 10 vehicle models, with Hyundai recognized for nine models. All but one of the seven vehicles in Subaru's lineup, the BRZ, qualified for one of the awards. IIHS strengthened the criteria for the Top Safety Pick+ award for 2018 to require headlights to earn a "good" rating — an "acceptable" rating was previously enough to notch the "plus" award — and good or acceptable passenger-side protection in the small overlap front crash, which replicates a crash involving just the front corner of a vehicle. It also required vehicles to have acceptable or good headlights for the first time to earn a Top Safety Pick award. Most of winners for both awards qualified on the basis of optional upgrades. IIHS in October began evaluating the passenger side of vehicles in its small overlap front crash test after it said it became clear that automakers were neglecting that side of the vehicle as they focused on improving driver-side protections. IIHS first began conducting driver-side small overlap crashes in 2012. It began measuring both how well low and high beams illuminated the road and the amount of glare they produce for oncoming vehicles as part of its ratings in 2016. The Top Safety Pick+ winners are listed below. The list doesn't include any minivans, pickups or minicars, which don't appear on either list of awardees. Small cars Kia Forte Kia Soul Subaru Impreza (sedan and wagon) Subaru WRX Midsize cars Subaru Legacy Subaru Outback Toyota Camry Large luxury cars BMW 5 series Genesis G80 Genesis G90 Lincoln Continental Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan Midsize SUVs Hyundai Santa Fe Hyundai Santa Fe Sport Midsize luxury SUV Mercedes-Benz GLC The full list of Top Safety Pick winners is available here.Related Video: Image Credit: IIHS BMW Genesis Hyundai Kia Lincoln Subaru Toyota Safety Crossover SUV Wagon Sedan crash test
BMW 1 Series getting a small nose job
Tue, 06 Aug 2013As BMW prepares to launch its new 2 Series lineup, it appears that the current 1 Series is going to get a little attention for itself. Based on these spy photos, the 1 Series hatchback (F20/F21), which is not offered in the US, will be getting a minor facelift in the near future.
From what we can see in these images, the updated 1 Series will definitely be getting a tweaked front end, with most of the attention focusing on the air intakes and grille. Our shooter tells us that it is possible that the headlights may yet be reworked in some way by the time we see this car in production form. It still isn't clear if we'll ever see this bodystyle or the next-gen 1 Series in the US, but our most recent report seems to indicate that the car's fortunes will depend somewhat on how well the Mercedes CLA-Class and Audi A3 sell.
