 I'm offering my beautiful rare 2002 Laguna Seca Blue BMW E46 M3 Coupe.
Desirable black leather interior and 6 speed MANUAL.
NO SMG.
*Premium Package*.
Harmon Kardon sound system.
Drives flawlessly.

BMW only offered this color from 2001-2004. Clear title in hand.
Very good physical and mechanical condition. Well maintained.
Only serviced by certified BMW mechanics. Last oil change 7/10/13. All 6 ignition coils replaced last year.
According to the dealership where the car was initially sold and serviced for the first 9 years any recalls were satisfied and inspections 1 and 2 were completed.
 It took me 6 months of diligent searching to find this car for myself.

In the Autocheck report you will see a front impact with another vehicle almost 6 years and over 50,000 miles ago.
It still maintains an exceedingly high score of  89, well above the average of 34-65. This incident occurred under the first owner.
I am only the second owner and do not have specific details. You will see there is "No frame/unibody damage record" in the report as well.
Upon inquiry during my own purchase of this vehicle the dealership told me the car was driveable, there was no airbag deployment or structural damage.
This vehicle has a clean and clear title. Drives just as an M3 should.

I am in no rush to sell and will not entertain any lowball offers. Serious inquiries only. Please do not waste my time or yours.
No test drives, but you are welcome to send/bring a mechanic for inspection. PPI's welcome. 80,xxx miles. Asking $21,000.
E-mail with any questions at all I am happy to provide any information.

BMW i8 crushed by cement truck will break your heart

Fri, Feb 26 2016

When a car like a BMW i8 is totaled, it's the end of not just a superb machine, but also a work of art. In a scene reminiscent of a Wile E. Coyote cartoon, a cement truck flattened one of the luxury hybrid coupes on an offramp in Newport Beach, CA on Thursday. According to California Highway Patrol, the trouble started when a large gardening truck hit a cement truck on highway 73, OCRegister reported. The impact caused the cement truck to tip over into southbound Newport Coast Drive lanes. It just so happens that a $135,000 i8 was underneath it. Three people were severely injured in the crash, one critically. All were taken to area hospitals and are recovering from their injuries. The fact that the driver and passengers survived such a catastrophic crash is a testament to the i8's safety. The carbon-fiber body and aluminum chassis held up remarkably well under such an intense crash. For those of you who find this sight too terrible to behold, check out the video below for some happier times with the i8.

Electrified BMW X1 spotted testing

Tue, 09 Apr 2013

So here's something interesting. This might look like an ordinary BMW X1, but take a closer glance - those stickers on the side read "hybrid test vehicle," and around back, there doesn't appear to be a tailpipe at all. But does this mean that BMW is working on a straight-up all-electric version of its smallest crossover? Let's hypothesize for a moment.
Just because we can't see a tailpipe in these photographs doesn't mean there isn't one somewhere under there. And while those hybrid stickers are an indication that there's some sort of electrification going on underhood, it could just be for a forthcoming gasoline-electric version of the X1. Lexus recently confirmed it would be bringing a small hybrid CUV to market that will compete in the X1's space, so perhaps BMW is working on another powertrain option to offer when its littlest crossover gets refreshed.
Also consider that Toyota collaborated with Tesla to bring back the RAV4 EV, which would sort of compete with the X1, so it also stands to reason that perhaps this is an early test mule for a larger all-electric vehicle in the upcoming, eco-minded BMW i range. Our spies seem pretty confident that the prototype seen here is indeed an all-out EV, but we just can't say with certainty without more evidence.

BMW Concept M4 GTS shows its face in Monterey

Fri, Aug 14 2015

Late last night, we showed you the BMW Concept M4 GTS, one-off production preview fitted with innovative OLED taillights, a water-injection system, and a suite of aerodynamic upgrades. Now, we have live images. These shots come from the scene of the debut, at one of Pebble Beach's numerous palatial estates. In natural light, we can see the M4 GTS as it really is. Both the Frozen Dark Grey paint and orange accents look far better, with the chin spoiler and wheels featuring an almost anodized appearance. The semi-matte nature of the paint also shows through, giving the Concept M4 GTS a more sinister look. We also remarked last night on the clash between the yellow calipers and orange wheel accents. But as the live photos show, the calipers appear more gold than yellow. There's still a pretty harsh contrast between the two shades, but it's better than it looked last night. Check out our entire gallery of live images of the new Concept M4 GTS, available at the top of the page. BMW Concept M4 GTS to be Premiered During Monterey Car Week.
