Immaculate Bmw M3 E46 Dinan Supercharged Convertible $22000+ Spent On Upgrades! on 2040-cars
Charlotte, North Carolina, United States
Here is a chance to own a rare 6 speed manual transmission BMW M3 E46 with Dinan stage 3 supercharger plus lots of other Dinan goodies. The supercharger is no longer available to this model M3 making this set up even more rare and hard to find. The car is very well sorted, garage kept, adult owned and meticulously maintained. The body exterior and convertible top are basically flawless and the interior looks almost new. Everything cosmetically is original and even the driver seat still looks great. $22000+ has been spent on DINAN parts (fully documented) to upgrade the performance of this BMW. I have set what I feel to be a REASONABLE RESERVE on this car. TO VIEW OVER 50 HIGH DETAIL PHOTOS OF THE CAR, CLICK ON THIS LINK: AND CLICK ON “VIEW ALBUM” I've owned this supercharged M3 Dinan for the past 5 1/2 years and the car has been solid and reliable. I've had no problems whatsoever. Every switch, gauge, gadget, etc, aftermarket or factory are in perfect working order. All maintenance is up to date. It's been one of the most reliable cars I've owned. I've always been a BMW enthusiast and have owned 6 BMWs over the years. The car has always been adult owned and driven. I have a clear, lien free North Carolina title in hand for the car. The exterior is Imola red and as far as I know, only available to the M3 and not the regular 3 series. The leather heated seats are nearly mint and have never been "restored" or dyed like most of the dealers do. The car is tight, handles very well, doesn't rattle or burn or leak any oil. The steering is smooth and doesn't shake or pull. Power is excellent and comes on strong with the boost. IN OTHER WORDS, the car runs and drives like new (actually, better than new.) The car has all factory options offered when new. I have a full carfax report on hand as well as documentation for maintenance and upgrades. I’m including a nice BMW matching key fob and BMW touch up paint as well. On the carfax report, a minor accident was reported back in 2008. I questioned this when I purchased the car and found out that it was simply a front bumper cover replaced due to a small incident while the car was being test driven at the dealership. I can’t tell that any work was done, though. No bondo anywhere, just bolt on. Everything lines up perfectly. All gaps, etc are perfect. This was a very well done repair. The body is extremely nice and the only “flaws” that I can find are some small stone chips on the lower front spoiler, most of which, I’ve touched up. This is typical wear for the age of the car. You’re welcome to stop by and test drive / inspect the car during the auction or set up an appointment to have a mechanic of your choice inspect the car at your expense. I’m selling the car as is in sound condition and it would be your responsibility to check everything out in person if you wish. Again, the car has a clear title in my name. I’m a private seller, not a dealer. This car has been my baby. I’ve set a REASONABLE RESERVE ON THE CAR. E46 M3's are getting rarer and hard to find in this condition. I’ll do my best to answer any questions accurately and as quickly as possible. Overall, its an exceptionally nice car and in my opinion, would be hard to find a nicer E46. A $500 deposit is due within 24 hours of auction’s end. Full payment is due within 7 days of auction’s end by certified cashier's check or cash. If you bid and win the auction, please be prepared to make payment and pick up the car. By winning this auction, you have entered into a contract to buy the car. I have the right to refuse bids from bidders with no or low feedback ratings. The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to sell and stop the auction if sold locally. It is my intent to let the auction run until the end, though. I can help with shipping if the winning bidder needs assistance. THANKS FOR LOOKING!

Recharge Wrap-up: Venturi to break electric world record, app shows where bike lanes are needed
Tue, Aug 19 2014Electric automaker Venturi hopes to post a new electric land speed record this week, despite Bonneville Speed Week being cancelled. The VBB-3, developed with Ohio State University, is powered by two 1,500-hp electric motors. If the salt flats are sufficiently dry, the team hopes to set a new electric world speed record of over 600 kilometers per hour (373 mph), and possibly 700 kph (435 mph). The Venturi BB-2.5 set a record of 495 kph (307 mph) in 2010. Read more at Electric Autosport, and keep abreast of Venturi's progress at its Twitter account. A new app is trying to fix Wiesbaden, Germany's bike problem. A bike organization named the city the worst in the world for cycling. In response, a local group developed an app that uses crowdsourced routes to suggest where bike lanes and paths should go. The app tracks users routes as they ride, and maps them to show where the city could benefit from improving its infrastructure. The app and its results have the attention of government officials, too. See the video below, or read more at Fast Company. BMW has delivered the first i8s at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in California. The first customers include Roger Penske, Rick Hendrick and Tony Fadell (founder and CEO of Nest). The lucky new owners were also treated to a gourmet meal from Chef Thomas Keller, who was also among those to receive the i8 at the event. As mentioned, BMW also auctioned off a special edition i8 at Pebble Beach for $825,000, considerably more than the car's base MSRP of $135,700. Read more in the press release from BMW, below. Uber's Berlin ban has been suspended by a local court. The city banned the car-hailing app for failing to meet passenger safety standards. The court will now decide whether to uphold the ban or toss it out. This was the second time this year that Uber had been deemed unlawful in Berlin. Uber continued to operate throughout its ban, despite threats of fines. If upheld, Uber could be fined $34,000 for picking up a passenger. Read more at The New York Times.

2015 BMW X4 configurator is ready to get personal
Thu, 17 Apr 2014The 2015 BMW X4 configurator is ready for your special touch. Starting with the 300-horsepower xDrive35i that starts at $48,925 after destination, our special touch aimed at a luxury cruiser and added $9,250 to proceedings for a final tally of $58,175. That got us the Technology, Lighting and Driver Assistance packages, navigation and enhanced USB and smartphone integration. We were tempted to go for the Dynamic Damping Control for just $1,000 and a set of 20-inch M Double Spoke Wheels, but the configurator didn't want to mix the M Sport Line with our Sparkling Brown metallic exterior hue so we skipped it.
We've covered the details on pricing and the breakdown of the order guide elsewhere, so you can always click through for refreshers. Or you can skip all those words and dive straight into trying to build an X4 that makes you say, "Yeah, now I get it."
BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer is a minivan by any other name
Wed, Mar 4 2015The Ultimate Driving Mini Minivan? Too early to say, considering that we've not yet driven it and so we don't know if it's the ultimate anything. But the BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer definitely slots into place as a small MPV in the European market, hence the mini minivan designation, though it doesn't have sliding doors. We don't have any indication that this 2 Series variant will come to the United States, in case you were wondering. With the option of a third row, this seven-passenger, front-wheel-drive (or optionally, all-wheel-drive) machine from BMW is sure to ruffle a few enthusiast feathers, but it also has the potential to be a big seller for the German brand. Available with a range of three- and four-cylinder engines offering between 116 and 192 horsepower, the 2 Series Gran Tourer packs a lot of space into a very small platform. It may not be the prettiest vehicle to wear the Roundel, but it may be the most practical. See it for yourself from every angle in our high-res gallery of live images above, and feel free to read more in the press release below. The new BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer. 11.02.2015 With the new BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer, BMW has carved out yet another new vehicle segment. With its generous space, versatility and groundbreaking flexibility, the BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer is the world's first premium compact model to offer up to seven seats and fully meet the mobility requirements of young families. Compact yet capacious. Despite its compact dimensions – measuring just 4,556 millimetres long, 1,800 mm wide and 1,608 mm high – the new BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer offers ample space and a generous luggage compartment that can be extended in capacity from 645 to 805 litres. With the rear-seat backrests folded down, this rises to an impressive 1,905 litres of load space. Ensuring maximum variability is the standard-fitted fore-aft sliding rear seat bench – with a 40:20:40-split backrest that folds down at the press of a button – which allows three child seats to be fitted. Extending the possibilities even further is an optional third row of seats which can be completely lowered into the loading floor. Maximising the vehicle's everyday practicality is a range of storage options for all three rows of seats, as well as rails on the front-seat backrests with fold-out tables attached.
