 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. 

***CLEAR TITLE IN HAND. CAR HAS BEEN RECENTLY SMOGGED, REGISTRATION GOOD IN CA UNTIL OCTOBER 2014***

BMW M boss denies supercar collaboration with McLaren

Thu, Sep 24 2015

The first time there was a McLaren Honda Formula 1 team, McLaren did some moonlighting with BMW on a supercar for all time, the F1. It just so happens that McLaren Honda is a thing again, and Car magazine recently ran a piece saying McLaren and BMW would get back together on another hopped-up coupe with roughly the same working agreement as before: BMW supplies a screaming V8, McLaren builds the body to go around it. Only this time the car would be a BMW model, not a McLaren, and be BMW's version of the next-generation McLaren 650S. The Car piece said that BMW head of R&D Klaus Frolich first got in touch with McLaren nine months ago, however, the head of BMW's M division, Frank van Meel, said he doesn't know anything about it. Mentioning every BMW exec referred to in the story, van Meel told Australia's Motoring, "I haven't had a phone call, [CEO] Harald Kruger hasn't had a phone call, and Klaus Frohlich hasn't had a phone call." The Car story said the reason BMW hasn't done a conventionally powered exotic recently is that former CEO Norbert Reithofer didn't want anything to eclipse the i8, the i brand, and the eco credentials the brand is charged with promoting. Changes in the executive suite – new CEO, new M boss, new R&D chief – were thought to meant changes in approach. Not according to van Meel, who gave those same i brand reasons to Motoring as then reasons BMW has no interest in a 750-horsepower, quad-turbo coupe. On top of that, after spending billions to move the game forward with in-house carbon fiber technology, van Meel asked, "I don't understand why we would need to work with McLaren for a supercar anyway. All of the technologies the story suggested are technologies that are core competences here at BMW and at M. Nobody in the world is more advanced with carbon-fibre than we are." The extent of the denial is so detailed that we're inclined to believe BMW on this one; cover stories usually stop at curt phrases like "We have no knowledge of that" or "We don't comment on future product." So you can put away your dreams of a McLaren F1 Part Two. For now. Related Video:

2015 BMW M3 Sedan

Tue, 20 May 2014

BMW's all-new M3 Sedan is dynamically nearly identical to its two-door M4 Coupe sibling: a stopwatch reveals that both are sub-four-second cars to 60 miles per hour, a racetrack proves that the mechanical twins are equally as adept on a road course and a full afternoon of driving on public roads demonstrates that each possesses talented everyday adaptability.
Yet after driving both BMW models back-to-back over two full days in Portugal, it's clear there are a few noticeable differences, both objective and subjective, that don't require instrument testing to reveal. All it takes is a few hours behind the wheel of both cars to conclude that one is slightly more agile, and the other a bit more twitchy. One has better outward visibility, while its counterpart is unquestionably more convenient.
It is the little things - subtleties attained through seat-of-the-pants observations - that eventually allow me to choose a favorite.
