 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***

Is Audi getting complacent and suffering from brain drain?

Wed, 27 Nov 2013

The argument is made in a Reuters article: Audi is falling behind other luxury brands, such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, due to a lack of research-and-development spending and "brain drain," or the migration of top executives and R&D chiefs to other parts of the Volkswagen Group. Reuters notes that Audi's current R&D chief is the third in 16 months.
Audi, which contributed to 40 percent of VW Group's $11.6 billion in profit the first nine months of the year, is delivering cars at a record pace: 1.31 million were delivered from January to October 2013 versus BMW's 1.35 million. Yet Audi, Reuters reports, doesn't have a halo car akin to BMW's new electrified i3 and i8 or an answer to Mercedes' plug-in-hybrid S-Class, and the R&D spending at Audi is less than BMW and Mercedes by a fair margin. It's noted in the article, however, that Audi benefits from other R&D spending within VW Group.
Reuters mentions that BMW "trumpets its new 'i' series" and the new Mercedes CLA and GLA ranges are winning "rave reviews" as part of its argument that Audi's recent lack of technological innovation could hurt future sales. Those cars do pack tons of new technology, some of which are firsts for mainstream production cars. But last time we checked, the i3 could be causing BMW's stock to slide, the CLA isn't receiving the rave reviews that Reuters would have you believe and the GLA hasn't been reviewed yet.

BMW teases 2 Series Coupe ahead of October 25 debut

Sat, 19 Oct 2013

Although it was finally just confirmed that the last of the BMW 1 Series coupes and convertibles went out of production months ago, we won't have to wait very long to see this model's replacement, the all-new 2 Series. BMW released a teaser video for its new coupe today and also announced that the 2 Series will officially debut on October 25.
We may still have to wait until the Detroit Auto Show to see it up close and in person, even though both the Los Angeles Auto Show and Tokyo Motor Show are nearly upon us. Either way, it's not clear when the 2 Series will roll into dealerships. Considering we've already seen the coupe sitting out mostly undisguised for a photo shoot, there really isn't much to see in terms of styling of the car in this sun-drenched, dirt-slinging teaser. BMW does say that this is the first trailer ahead of the 2 Series' unveiling, so there are likely to be more to follow the video seen below.

Mazda6, Honda CR-V and an Autoblogger's BMW Z3 | Autoblog Podcast #620

In this week's Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by West Coast Editor James Riswick and Road Test Editor Zac Palmer. First, they talk about the cars that have been in their driveways, like the Mazda6, Lexus UX 250h and Honda CR-V, as well as Riswick's own BMW Z3 (where he actually recorded the podcast from). Then they discuss the news, which includes car dealers moving to digital commerce and other updates about — you guessed it — coronavirus, and how it's affecting the automotive industry. Finally, they take to Twitter to help a follower choose a weekend convertible for long, isolated drives in this week's "Spend My Money" segment.
