Outstanding 2003 E46 M3

I am selling my clean, trouble free, superb condition M3.
This is my daily driver and my 3rd M3. I have taken extreme care of the vehicle and if you can find a cleaner, more tastefully modified E46 M3, I suggest  you by it.
Once or twice a year, I take a car that needs some love and attention, and bring it back to life. This car is done! It needs nothing!
There are absolutely NO trouble codes, subframe, or Vanos issues. The care has never been wrecked. Physician owed before me, it has been cared for and never tracked.
Don't look for any dings or dents because you won't find any.
I am selling the car to move on to my next project , which is a 1988 420 SEL.
I will try to be complete, but may leave something out, so here it goes.

The care is the 3.2 SMG coupe model
101900 miles, but I do drive it.
I have replaced all the external window molding with brand new OEM products. This was simply to bring it back to new looking and to get rid of 10 year old, sun faded rubber.The care has brand new BOSCH OEM wipers and blades
New Hood Cowl
The original kidney grill and side grills were old and chrome and have been replaced with brand new black ones with new badges
The car has brand new RED carbon fiber Roundels inside and out. This includes the wheel center caps.
Replaced gauge rings with RED rings.
Brand new RED leather shift boot and e-brake boot.
( Getting the theme here?)
Carbon fiber dash and door kit
The seats are perfect. No rips or tears. I had the seat professionally reconditioned and colored and immediately placed a cover on the driver side to protect it. You can see in the photos.

I installed a BMW OEM Homelink unit in the headliner, so you dont have to have a cheesy garage door opener pinned to the visor.
The factory radio has been replaced with a Bluetooth unit complete with Navigation and backup camera. It works flawlessly.I installed a 5 port USB port as well for your phone. Cell phone dash mount.
The ugly SMG shift knob has been replaced with an illuminated knob I took from a 2011 M3. It glows RED and looks awesome at night.

Now the outside

No dents
The car comes with Koalty Carbon fiber front lip
Carbon fiber roof spoiler
Carbon fiber trunk spoiler
and Carbon fiber PTM rear diffuser.

The exhaust is an ALL Stainless Steal Corsa catback($1600, check it if you dont believe me), and sounds awesome.
The wheels are $2500 CCWs with big Brand new(about 250 miles) 11 inch Hankook Ventus, 285/30/19s in the rear.
Big 14 inch Sportech cross drilled rotors all around with HAWK pads.
I replace the factory springs with HR 1 inch drop sport springs to give it a better stance and more control.
Xenon headlights

Again, in order to refresh the car, I replaced the headlight lenses with brand new crystal clear ones.
Brand new Yellow halogen fog lights.
Tinted rear tail lights.
Car has 20% window tint all around.

The Engine

No issues
Brand new Bosch coils
New NGK plugs
AFE Cold Air Intake
OIL, only replaced with Blue Molly 10W-60

I probably have forgotten something, but as you can see, the car is complete and a head turner.

OK, now the sale...
Do not bid if you are not serious
Bidding from ZERO feedback bidders need to contact me first.
I will require a $500 nonrefundable deposit w/i 48 hours of the sale. This is to discourage deadbeats.
The remainder is due w/i 7 days.
I will cancel and relist the car if these terms are not met.
You can pick the car up or have it shipped, but the buyer is responsible for all costs and arrangements.

Ask any questions about the car, and I will do my best to answer.
I am a physician and fairly busy but will get back to you.

THE RADAR DETECTOR IS NOT INCLUDED
I have additional photos that I am happy to email you.

Good Luck

Weekly Recap: Toyota wants cars to be your 'close friends' around 2020

Sat, Oct 10 2015

Toyota confirmed plans this week to launch autonomous technology in its production cars around 2020. The automaker's version is called Highway Teammate, and it's one element of a broader mobility strategy that includes vehicles communicating with each other and the grid. "Toyota believes that interactions between drivers and cars should mirror those between close friends who share a common purpose, sometimes watching over each other and sometimes helping each other out," the company said in a statement. That sounds utopian, and perhaps a bit cheesy, but it's an acknowledgment that autonomous driving requires more than technology developed in a vacuum. Toyota is looking at its research in a broader context, and dubs its overall strategy the Mobility Teammate Concept. Highway Teammate is the first step. Its test vehicle is a modified Lexus GS, which uses road-mapping data and external sensors to merge or exit highways, change lanes, and maintain safe distances during driving. It's operated on the Shuto Expressway in Tokyo. Toyota has been working on autonomous tech since the 1990s, with the goal of providing mobility for older people and the disabled, as well as lowering the frequency of traffic accidents. Toyota's push comes as an early adopter, Nissan, is hedging on its own deadline to implement the autonomous tech by 2020 due to a lack of firm laws governing self-driving cars around the world. Conversely, Volvo took the landmark step of being the first automaker to accept liability for when its cars will operate in autonomous mode, and urged the US government to set federal guidelines to regulate the technology. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 BMW M4 GTS: Your water-injected, turbo-boosted demon BMW is unleashing its most powerful M4 ever, a 493-horsepower special edition that's road legal yet bred for the track. The company is making 700 copies for sale around the world, and 300 of them will come to the United States. The twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder revs to 7,600 rpm and uses a water-injection technology to cool the intake air and lower the compression temperature. BMW says this allows it to wring more power out of the inline six. The car also uses carbon-fiber reinforced plastic for the roof, hood, engine compartment strut brace, drive shaft, and rear spoiler to reduce weight. The M4 features BMW's organic light-emitting diode taillights, which are said to be an industry first.

Cars with the worst resale value in 2022

Thu, Nov 10 2022

Car values are all over the map right now. Used vehicles that were worth a small fortune earlier this year are now coming back to Earth, but the new vehicle supply remains tight. Prices are still elevated overall, but some models have seen more severe price drops. Depreciation strikes almost every model, supply constraint or not, though a few vehicles are leading the way. New research from analytics iSeeCars found that a handful of cars depreciated more than 50 percent over five years, with the BMW 7 Series dropping 56.9 percent and an average price cut of $61,923 over that time. The vehicles with the highest depreciation — or worst resale value — over five years: BMW 7 Series: -56.9% Maserati Ghibli: -56.3% Jaguar XF: -54% Infiniti QX80: -52.6% Cadillac Escalade ESV: 52.3% Mercedes-Benz S-Class: 51.9% Lincoln Navigator: -51.9% Audi A6: -51.5% Volvo S90: -51.4% Ford Expedition: -50.7% iSeeCarsÂ’ research showed that midsize trucks, sports cars, and fuel-efficient vehicles were slowest to depreciate over five years, while itÂ’s clear that luxury brands tend to lose value much faster. As iSeeCarsÂ’ Executive Analyst Karl Brauer explained, used buyers donÂ’t value high-end vehiclesÂ’ features as much as the first owners, so resale values tend to be softer. The tech and options that made the cars so expensive and appealing new donÂ’t add the same value on the used market. Read more: Cars with the best resale value Interestingly, electric vehicles also depreciated quite heavily, though they were just short of the abysmal numbers in luxury segments. The Nissan Leaf depreciated most among EVs, dropping by 49.1 percent. The average EV depreciation is 44.2 percent, with the Tesla Model S and Model X sliding in right under the bar at 43.7 and 38.8 percent, respectively. As iSeeCars notes, itÂ’s important to be vigilant when car shopping and not let your emotions win over reason. Shiny new luxury cars look great in the showroom, but you could end up taking a bath when you try selling them a few years later on.
