This is a prime opportunity to acquire a tastefully appointed, all option, timeless German sports car in the most desirable color. This car has an AutoCheck score of 82, which is higher than some E92 M3s, let alone most E46s. There are absolutely no stories, accidents, recalls, or any other imperfections on the record of this car. I’ve wanted one of these cars since released in 2001. I had the unique opportunity to purchase this one from a friend of mine, who also happens to be the owner of BrenTuning. This was his personal vehicle that helped promote his tuning company. He purchased around 50k miles and sold to me around 70k. He did most of the modifications you see. I have kept it garaged, maintained, and detailed since purchasing in 2010. I am an ex-detailer and remain passionate about the cleanliness of my personal vehicles. For those of you that are in that world, the car is currently polished with Menzerna PO85RD and topped with two layers of Zaino Z5 Pro. I purchased this car in 2010 when I moved to Texas from the Northeast. It has never spent a night outside. I’ve only used BMW OEM parts and fluids for any repairs and maintenance it needs. It has seen rain less than 10 times since I’ve owned it. Lucky for us Texans, it never rains here, and the car is always clean. I daily drove this car for the first three years of ownership, but only put about 9,000 miles a year on it. After that, I picked up another vehicle to alternate with. More recently, I began working from home so this only gets used 1-2 times per week. My reason for sale is because it is time for something new. I truly love this car and it will be painful to part with. I’ve had it since March of 2010, which is longer than I’ve owned any other car. It is the most driver-centric vehicle I’ve owned, which will be hardest to part with. However, someone deserves to give this one a go. I’ve only put 3,000 miles on it since November. It is truly special and receives regular compliments. Condition None nicer. I don’t
use that lightly. I’ve sold a lot of
cars before, both my own and as a consultant.
I’ve been to local M3 meets and put the 2006 Texas M3s to shame. They are hard pressed to believe the age and
roots of this car. If you tell someone
this car is 2002, they won’t believe you.
It is as clean as they come. The only cosmetic imperfections are with the elbow areas on the driver's console/door armrests (normal wear) and cracked lower portion of the front lip. The driver's door titanium trim has a little bubbling as well. I rewrapped the lip in 3M carbon fiber vinyl after
a truck dropped a branch on a dark highway with nowhere to go. When wrapped, you don’t even know there is
damage. Thankfully the lip took the brunt of the impact and nothing else on the
car, or under the car, was affected.
Unfortunately, they don’t make this lip anymore, so I had to
improvise. There are a couple of
blisters on the rear driver’s side wheel-lip that have been there since I’ve
owned it, but not worsened. This is
shoddy chrome work from iForged, but they refuse to repair it. It didn’t bother me enough to have them re-chromed. Other than that, what you see is what you
get; an impeccably maintained and cared for E46 M3. Overview:

Magna Steyr to assemble as many as 70,000 BMW 5 Series models yearly
Mon, Jul 13 2015Soon, not all BMW 5 Series models will be assembled by BMW. Yes, we know that sounds strange, but it's not at all uncommon. For instance, the Mini Paceman and Countryman hatchbacks – and remember, the Mini brand is owned by BMW – are assembled in Graz, Austria, by Magna Steyr, a company that specializes in building cars for other automakers. Soon, though, the contract Mini has with Magna Steyr will be coming to an end, and that means the Austrian company will have excess capacity on its hands. That production capacity will be filled soon enough, however, by BMW 5 Series models, according to a report from Automobil Produktion in Germany. Magna Steyr will build between 50,000 and 70,000 of BMW's mid-level model, according to the report, but there's no indication of which 5 Series model or models (and there are many shapes and sizes to choose...) will be moved to Austria from BMW's plant in Dingolfing in southern Germany. With 373,053 units sold in 2014, the 5 Series is BMW's second-most-popular model, after the 3 Series. BMW told Automotive News Europe that it doesn't comment on those kinds of reports, which, as is usually the case, is neither confirmation nor denial. It's worth noting that the two-door Mini Paceman isn't a part of the brand's plans moving past 2015, though the Countryman soft-roader that currently stands as the largest member of the automaker's family will soldier on.

2015 BMW X4 xDrive28i
Tue, Jan 6 2015When BMW unveiled the X6 back in 2008, critical reviews were mixed, to say the least. By all accounts, the heavyweight crossover actually drove quite well, but the idea of a BMW X5 that traded a lot of functionality for polarizing looks and a higher price tag seemed like a tough sell. Then it went on sale and quickly proved to be a cash cow. Today, the German brand has moved over a quarter million of the things worldwide. Unsurprisingly, this success has moved BMW to double down on its so-called Sport Activity Coupe by adding a smaller variant. The all-new X4, while not a bad steer in and of itself, makes even less sense than its big brother, particularly when viewed alongside BMW's other offerings. Like the X6 and X5, the X4 borrows heavily from another of the brand's utility vehicles, in this case, the less-costly X3. Also like the X6, this new crossover-coupe's styling is sure to cause a schism among critics and consumers alike. You can probably guess where the majority of the Autoblog camp falls. To be totally frank, the exterior of the X4 is simply ghastly to this writer, particularly in this tester's eye-catching paint. Admittedly – and much like the X6 – there's not much objectionable from the A-pillar forward, where the X4 has a lot in common with the X3. It's only once moving towards the rear that things well and truly go wrong. There's just so much visual mass, and it's been made worse by the way BMW designers wussed out. Bear with me. Compare the profile of the X6 with the X4, and pay particular attention to the roofline on the bigger vehicle. The angle of the roofline is noticeably more dramatic on the X6, which comes at the expense of second-row headroom (an oft-criticized area for the big boy). For the X4, designers tried to have their cake and eat it too, maintaining second-row headroom but with a coupe-like profile. The result is an X4 that is bulbous and uncouth from the B-pillar back, more hunchbacked Gran Turismo than svelte Gran Coupe. BMW might have been better served if its exterior work had followed the stylings of the cabin, which is more or less a clone of what's on offer in the X3. Material quality is still great, with soft-touch plastics and available cool-to-the-touch brushed aluminum throughout. I really dug the Ivory White Nevada leather and contrast red stitching on this test vehicle, as it provided an eye-pleasing departure from the sea of blacks, grays and tans so typical of the luxury crossover market.
BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo gets leaked well ahead of Geneva reveal
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The great power of the internet has allowed us to get an early first look at the all-new BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo, a car that is slated to be shown in full at the Geneva Motor Show next month, albeit without many details to go on right now. With pictures leaking out this early in the game, we'd expect that you won't have to wait until March to get the full lowdown, however.
Our first look at the 3er GT reveals a car that is, to our eyes, a tidier piece of design work than its 5 Series GT brother. The long-backside proportions are still a bit ungainly, at least from these images, but they're helped tremendously with the larger wheel/tire package and more aggressive fascia of the sport package.
Expect the 3 Series GT to hit the ground running, with the same turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder and 3.0-liter inline-six found in the standard 3 Series sedan. BMW's popular xDrive all-wheel-drive system is a virtual lock for the option sheet, too.
