Bmw M3 E46 Competition Package (zcp), Interlagos Blue, Smg, Navigation on 2040-cars

Year:2006 Mileage:120054
Location:

United States

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.

BMW M235i Racing restores our faith in 'M'

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

Based on the upcoming BMW 2 Series and aimed at amateur and semi-professional racers, the 2014 BMW M235i Racing is a stripped-down, race-spec coupe ready to take on the Nürburgring in the VLN Endurance Championship race series against cars from Audi, Porsche and Toyota.
Obvious in the image above (click to enlarge), BMW has given the M235i Racing the wide-body treatment with a track that has been stretched by 3.5 inches. Under the hood, the 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder receives a power boost from a stock 322 horsepower up slightly to 333 hp, while other modifications include a full FIA roll cage, a racing fuel tank and a limited slip rear differential.
The M235i Racing replaces the M3 GT4 as BMW's factory racer, and it will be priced at 59,500 euros (close to $80,000), which is about as affordable as a factory-prepped racecar can get. The full press release is posted below, but we can't wait to see this car in action next year.

BMW expounds on i8 design and performance in new videos

Fri, 03 Jan 2014

At this point, there isn't much we don't know about the 2015 BMW i8, so BMW is starting to focus its attention on reassuring consumers that the future of BMW won't abandon the past. In these two recently released videos, BMW answers questions prospective buyers might have about about the new model's design and performance.
In the design video, BMW explains how the i8's styling is intended to be practical, with aerodynamics and fuel efficiency in mind, yet still have a sporty and dynamic look. The performance video aims to show that the plug-in hybrid can be fuel efficient while still delivering plenty of performance, and it shows an animation about how the i8's drive systems work together. Scroll down to watch both videos on this bold green supercar.

2015 BMW M3 and M4 configurator launched, no lunch hour safe

Thu, 03 Apr 2014

BMW has just made your lunch break a little more interesting by launching the configurators for the M3 and M4. Pricing and options for the new sports coupe and sedan was revealed just a few days ago, but it's always more fun to see the visual effect your personalizations have on the bottom line.
The M3 and M4 start at $62,000 and $64,200, respectively, without a $925 destination charge. However, as soon as the configurator is opened, both models default with metallic paint ($550) and the M Double-clutch Transmission ($2900), plus extended leather on the M3 ($950) and full leather on the M4 ($3,500). This is basically the way they were shown when displayed at auto shows. Of course, there's nothing preventing users from setting up these performance machines however they like.
So sit down at your desk with a cup of coffee or a sandwich and create your perfect German sport sedan or coupe. It's always fun to see how much money can be spent on a dream car.
