This is a 2006 M3 Coupe ZCP (competition package), SMG transmission (the hydraulic pump has been replaced), interlagos blue and black leather interior. It has 119,000 miles on it…most of them are highway miles. The front part of the hood has a clear bra on it and the ENTIRE front bumper has a clear bra on it. If you pull the clear bra off, the paint will be in amazing shape. There are a few scratches on the bottom of the bumper, but besides this the paint is perfect and doesn't have any of the typical stone or rock chips because it has a clear bra on it. It also has a navigation system and 6 disc changer. 

It still has the books and DVD that came with it when it was purchased. It also has the original-unused IMS (instant mobility system and tire pump).

It has newer rear tires, but the front tires will need to be replaced relatively soon. The brakes work VERY well on it and it has the oversized rotors because of the competition package. The transmission shifts great and the engine run

The coveted competition pack includes
-Cross-drilled brake rotors (enlarged to 13.7 inches in front) with two-piece compound rotors (aluminum hat and outer portion connected by steel pins)
-Steering ratio reduced to 14.5:1
-M Track Mode setting for Dynamic Stability Control (raises—but does not eliminate—the threshold at which the DSC intervenes)
-19-inch cross-spoke alloy wheels (8x19-inch front, 9.5x19-inch rear)
-Alcantara-wrapped M three-spoke steering wheel with M Track Mode activation button (audio and cruise control buttons deleted)
-Specific aluminum interior trim with milled effect
-Exclusive Interlagos Blue metallic (A30) paint option that was only allowed for the competition package

Motor Trend did a review on this package, it was in their May issue from 2005 and titled "First Test: 2005 BMW M3 Competition Package"

It won't let me post the link, but you can view the article of you google that article or if you go to motortrend dot com/roadtests/sedans/112_0505_2005_bmw_m3_competition/viewall.html 

I'm selling this because I'm going to use the money to fund part of a business that I'm starting up and I would like some extra cash. So I'm not desperate to sell it, but I'm also not trying to get every last dollar out of it.  I'm a BMW enthusiast and know it's not the easiest finding E46 M3 with the SMG transmission, Competition package, Interlagos Blue and black interior with a clean title....but I know it's not impossible to find another one (probably with lower miles). With that said, I am interested in a Lotus Elise or Exige and I would be interested in trading for one, but if a trade comes up I would really prefer not to be putting any money down.

I do have it for sale locally, so if I get an offer locally I reserve the right to end the auction early.

VW, Rivian, Nissan, BMW, Genesis, Audi and Volvo lose EV tax credits starting tomorrow

Mon, Apr 17 2023

The U.S. Treasury said Monday that Volkswagen, BMW, Nissan, Rivian, Hyundai and Volvo electric vehicles will lose access to a $7,500 tax credit under new battery sourcing rules. The Treasury said the new requirements effective Tuesday will also cut by half credits for the Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Rear Wheel Drive to $3,750 but other Tesla models will retain the full $7,500 credit. Vehicles losing credits Tuesday are the BMW 330e, BMW X5 xDrive45e, Genesis Electrified GV70, Nissan Leaf , Rivian R1S and R1T, Volkswagen ID.4 as well as the plug-in hybrid electric Audi Q5 TFSI e Quattro and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) electric Volvo S60. The Swedish carmaker is 82%-owned by China’s Zhejiang Geely Holding Group. The rules are aimed at weaning the United States off dependence on China for EV battery supply chains and are part of President Joe Biden's effort to make 50% of U.S. new vehicle sales by 2030 EVs or PHEVs. Hyundai said in a statement it was committed to its long-range EV plans and that it "will utilize key provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act to accelerate the transition to electrification." Rivian declined to comment and the other automakers could not immediately be reached for comment. Treasury also disclosed General Motors electric Chevrolet Bolt and Bolt EUV will qualify for the full $7,500 tax credit. GM said earlier it expected at least some of its EVS would qualify for the $7,500 tax credit under the new rules, including the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq and forthcoming Chevrolet Equinox EV SUV and Blazer EV SUV. Treasury said all GM EVs will qualify. Earlier, Ford Motor and Chrysler-parent Stellantis said most of their electric and PHEV models would see tax credits halved to $3,750 on April 18. Treasury confirmed the automakers' calculations. The rules were announced last month and mandated by Congress in August as part of the $430 billion Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The IRA requires 50% of the value of battery components be produced or assembled in North America to qualify for $3,750, and 40% of the value of critical minerals sourced from the United States or a free trade partner for a $3,750 credit. The law required vehicles to be assembled in North America to qualify for any tax credits, which in August eliminated nearly 70% of eligible models and on Jan. 1 new price caps and limits on buyers income took effect.

Volvo S90 Recharge, Lexus RX 350 and spring beer picks | Autoblog Podcast #679

Fri, May 21 2021

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski. They start off discussing the Volvo S90 Recharge and wonder out loud why the brand's plug-in technology isn't also offered with a wagon body style. They then discuss the Lexus RX350 and why it's likely an ideal premium crossover for a large percentage of buyers. From there, Greg and Jeremy cover some recent news items, including the current state of BMW's coupes and rumors that Toyota's next Land Cruiser will lose its V8 engine in favor of a turbocharged V6. Then it's time to go over some of our current favorite spring beers before turning to the mailbag and spending some listener's money.
