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. |

2014 BMW 740Ld xDrive does diesel in a big way
Thu, 06 Feb 2014Slowly but surely, BMW is expanding its lineup of diesel-powered models here in the United States. In addition to the 328d sedan and wagon, 535d sedan and X5 xDrive35d crossover, we now have this, the BMW 740Ld xDrive (not to mention the refreshed 2015 X3 xDrive28d that also makes its debut here in Chicago). As its name - and the photos above - suggest, this means BMW is offering diesel power in its flagship, long-wheelbase 7 Series sedan, set to directly compete with the likes of the excellent Audi A8 TDI.
Under the hood is BMW's familiar 3.0-liter turbocharged diesel inline-six, delivering 255 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque, all of which is sent to the road via the company's xDrive all-wheel-drive system and ZF eight-speed automatic transmission. That torque thrust is available straight away from 1,500 rpm, and BMW says the 740Ld xDrive will sprint to 60 miles per hour in a very respectable 6.1 seconds. Official fuel economy estimates haven't been released yet, but we expect the car to net highway fuel economy ratings in the mid-30 range.
The 740Ld xDrive arrives in BMW showrooms this spring, priced from $82,500, not including $925 for destination. We're pretty stoked to drive it. But in the meantime, have a look at fresh images of the big sedan live from the Chicago Auto Show, above.
BMW looking to fix i3 acceleration problem uncovered by Consumer Reports
Fri, 10 Oct 2014The BMW i3 has been hailed in some quarters as the future of electric mobility, what with its innovative carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic body and commitment to sustainable materials wherever possible. The modernist little hatch is even available with a 650cc two-cylinder gas engine with 34 horsepower to act as a range-extender for those who want it. However, that optional engine might have a drawback - at least for the moment.
Consumer Reports brought the problem to light when one of its drivers was behind the wheel of an i3 using the range-extender. When the driver attempted to pass another vehicle on a rolling, two-lane road, the BMW suddenly had no power to accelerate - a scary situation. CR started examining the car and found something pretty shocking: After driving at a constant speed for a while without any regenerative braking in range-extended mode, acceleration to 60 miles per hour plummeted from about 9 seconds normally to a staggering 27 to 40 seconds in their testing.
A BMW spokesperson told CR that it knows about the problem and has a fix coming next spring that also works on current models. The upgrade includes a state of charge indicator, a warning about loss of power and uses the car's navigation to boost the battery before driving on rolling terrain. It is not clear if the severe power deficiency will also eventually result in a recall.
2015 BMW X3 arrives with tweaked styling, diesel option
Wed, 05 Feb 2014The luxury crossover market has been a huge success for BMW, having sold over a million X3 models worldwide since the CUV first went on sale in 2003, not to mention all of the momentum its had with the larger X5. At the Chicago Auto Show, BMW is unveiling the refreshed 2015 X3, featuring an improved design, a new diesel engine option, and a rear-wheel drive variant.
The X3 is getting some handsome upgrades to the exterior. The twin, circular headlights now extend to touch the slightly widened, chrome kidney grille, to bring the styling in line with the 3 Series and 4 Series. (LED headlights are now optional, as well.) The front bumper gets reshaped brake cooling ducts, and the rear bumper gets a touch of additional metal trim at the bottom. BMW has also added standard LED turn signals in the side mirrors.
BMW has enhanced the interior with added chrome trim, high-gloss black trim around the center console, sliding covers for the cup holders and new interior upholstery designs. The X3 is also getting a major boost in optional technology - there's a new Parking Assistant, as well as an Active Driving Assistant with adaptive cruise control, Lane Departure Warning, Frontal Collision Warning, Pedestrian Warning, and City Collision Mitigation.
