Gorgeous 2002 Bmw E46 M3 With Many Tasteful Upgrades! Not Driven In Winter! on 2040-cars
Brookfield, Wisconsin, United States
|
Hello all. Thanks for the interest in my M3. I purchased this M3 almost a year ago exactly. I purchased it with the intension of it being a fun summer car. I knew full well that it would not be driven in the winter because I had a Toyota Landcruiser for that part of the year. I enjoyed it greatly for the warmer months and put it away before the first snow last fall. My current though is to attempt to consolidate down to one car and purchase a BMW 335xi. I thought I would attempt to sell the M3 with this plan in mind. Please note that I am not in a hurry to sell. In fact, I love this car. If I end up keeping it for another year, I will do so gladly. Therefore, please don’t send me any lowball offers. I know how hard it is to find a well maintained E46 M3 6-speed, especially one with all of these nice upgrades (it took me about a year to find this car). In addition, this car is not wintered! No salt and muck. I kept it in the garage under car cover up on jack stands all winter long! I have just been waiting for all of the salt and snow to be off the roads before I take it back out. The buyer should know that this is a very well maintained car, and I
have a two inch thick folder full of receipts for the car totaling over $15,000
in repairs and maintenance! Some very high dollar fixes / replacements have
been completed including a NEW BMW transmission and clutch done about 2.5 years
ago to the tune of $7,500. Apparently some of the syncros had started to
complain a bit, so the previous owner had a factory replacement transmission
installed, and then sold the car… bad for him. Great for me (and you). All of
the normal BMW M3 issues have already been addressed. Wheel bearings, bushings,
etc all upgraded and/or done. Bilstein coil-overs CSL front bumper CSL rear spoiler CSL Diffuser BMW 330d short throw shifter Powercoated black 19"s with NEW Conti DW Tires Magnaflow catback stainless steel exhaust - sounds awesome! AFE intake New Stoptek Slotted rotors with red calipers and Hawk pads Angel eyes Other really cool add-ons : Dice Ipod hook up in glove box ZHP Alcantara steering wheel ZHP Alcantara shifter boot with ZHP knob Carbon fiber Dinoc trim Carbon fiber side gills Black Kidney grills Professionally Tinted windows Some additional items within the last year: New rear trailing arm bushings and alignment New differential pinion and output shaft seals New thermostat and Coolant flush Please forgive the somewhat random photos. I still have the car in storage and just pulled these together from my phone pics. Please feel free to Call or text with questions 4I4-587-I789 or email:

BMW recalling nearly 570,000 1 Series, 3 Series and Z4 models over electrical issue
Mon, 18 Feb 2013BMW is recalling roughly 570,000 vehicles in the United States and Canada due to faulty battery cable connectors that can fail, causing the engines in these cars to stall. Of the nearly 570,000 affected vehicles, just over 504,000 are here in the US.
The affected vehicles include 1 Series coupes and convertibles (both 128i and 135i) from the 2008 to 2011 model years; 3 Series sedans, coupes, convertibles and sport wagons (both 328i and 335i) from the 2007 to 2011 model years; and Z4 roadsters from the 2009 to 2011 model years.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, "the connector for the positive battery cable connector and the corresponding terminal on the fuse box may degrade over time," which can eventually lead to a break in the electrical connection and a loss of power in the vehicle. If the car loses power, the engine can stall, which could possibly lead to a crash. The Detroit News reports that BMW knows of one minor collision in Canada as a result of this problem, but no injuries.
EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi
Sun, 25 Nov 2012EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.
BMW X5 gets full battery of performance visuals
Wed, 12 Feb 2014If you think BMW toned down its third-generation X5 CUV a little too much with its latest redesign, the new M Performance Parts line of optional parts may give you a chance to inject in a new sense of style.
The aesthetic parts include new carbon fiber pieces for the mirror caps, front splitter, rear diffuser and rear aero flaps. There's also a rear spoiler, high-gloss black kidney grilles, M Performance rocker panel decals and double-spoke 21-inch wheels with performance tires. The interior upgrades are similar with an available Alcantara steering wheel with carbon fiber trim, stainless steel pedals and carbon fiber gearshift trim.
Not all of the M Performance Parts are about style. The M Performance Power Kit sharpens throttle response and boosts power of the X5 xDrive35i to 320 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque, an improvement of 20 hp and 32 lb-ft, and an optional exhaust with chrome tips improves its sound. For buyers looking for improved stopping power, the M Performance Brake Kit adds six-piston calipers with 19-inch steel rotors.
