2002 Bmw M Roadster, Laguna Seca, 18,500 Miles!!!, Rare, Fast, Fun on 2040-cars
Clarkston, Georgia, United States
This is my 2002 BMW M Roadster with only 18,900 miles. The car is Laguna Seca Blue with a grey and black leather interior. Add-ons / extras include stainless roll bars (originals included in sale), Dinan front strut bar, NIB floor mats (originals still in car), NIB rear window (original is fine, but the plastic windows do age. You're ahead of the curve with this car), illuminated chrome shift knob (original included in sale), Dinan Diff support reinforcement kit (not installed), and two new Michelin Pilot Super Sport rear tires. Books, tools, spare, pump, two wind blockers (one OEM & one Plexiglas), and original Monroney / window sticker included. I am the second owner. The car was originally owned in Colorado and was a gift to the owners wife for her 40th birthday. Car was always garaged until recently (one of the reasons I'm selling) and has never been driven in the rain; at least not by me at that is what I was told by seller. Due to my house being remodeled and the subsequent temporary lose of my garage space, the car is now temporarily outside. However, it is double covered (water-proof & breathable Tyvek cover) and padded. Car looks beautiful! In my opinion, the stainless roll bars look awesome and give the car a much sportier and true roadster look compared to others on the road. However, you will get the originals and swapping them is a very easy task. The Dinan Differential support kit was not installed on the recommendation of my local Dinan dealer based on how the car was being used. If you live in the Mountains or plan to drive it hard, have it installed. The car has been driven less than 1500 miles during the last 2-1/2 years. I just took the car out of it's winter storage. So, this listing is a little premature, but I wanted to get the ball rolling. Car will be detailed and serviced next week; weather permitting. New rear tires have been ordered (fronts are good) and the left rear wheel will be repaired. The repair is for a minor scuff on the lip of the rim that I put there on one of my first drives on the wonderful streets of downtown Atlanta. Imagine the words that came out of my mouth! With only around 1600 LHD units produced, I believe these M cars are true modern collectables and the numbers back me up. Values have been increasing over the past few years. I can't remember the exact production numbers, but the number of these cars produced in this color combination was in the teens. At least one of those is believed to have been totaled. There use to be an easy way to look this up online, but I can't find the site. I will update this listing and add more pictures once the car has been detailed. The Roadster will be for sale locally and I reserve the right to end this listing at any time. Please feel free to ask any questions. Cars is sold as is, where is. I am willing to assist in any shipping or inspections. NO JOY RIDERS. You must have valid drivers license and proof of insurance before any test drive. SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY. NO HOLDING. $1000 non-refundable deposit will be due within 24hrs.

BMW 1 Series sedan interior revealed
Sun, 09 Nov 2014The next BMW 1 Series Sedan has made another appearance following our last peek at it in September, and this time, the gallery of images even reveals part of the new car's interior.
Of course, if these images prove anything, it's that manufacturers take camouflage of the interior just as seriously as they do the exterior. We can see in these images a fairly simple cabin, with what looks like a fixed central display. It's quite small, although the housing itself is rather large, so we could be looking at a more basic form of iDrive rather than the full-featured set. Overall, though, this cabin more or less confirms that the 1 Series Sedan will fit in with the rest of the BMW family quite nicely.
Outside of the interior images, though, there isn't a lot of new stuff revealed by these images. As for when we'll see both the interior and exterior fully undisguised, our spies continue pointing to a 2016 debut with a 2017 on-sale date.
Electrified BMW X1 spotted testing
Tue, 09 Apr 2013So 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 M235i in circuit scrap with legendary E46 M3 CSL
Fri, 25 Apr 2014Earlier this month, we brought you news that BMW's one-year wonder, the 2011 1 Series M Coupe, is actually trading for more money today than it did when new. That sort of short-term appreciation is a major rarity with modern production cars, but apparently it's not the only BMW enthusiast coupe to enjoy far-above-average residual values. The not-for-North America 2004 M3 CSL, itself a single-year offering, apparently also fits that description, as we've just learned from Auto Express.
The M3 CSL ruled overseas BMW showrooms a decade ago, with just 1,400 examples built. Based on the well-regarded E46 M3, the rare two-door was relieved of extraneous bits for improved track work and driver fidelity, coming in at around 240 fewer pounds than a garden-variety M3. With carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic bodywork, thinner glass and a lot less sound insulation, the CSL was one of the more raucous cars of its day. Like the 1M Coupe, it was also one of the more connected cars of the era, with a retuned suspension, quicker steering, and a bit more power than its brethren.
As Auto Express points out, a good used one commands about the same money as a brand-new 2014 M235i - the closest thing BMW makes to a 1M Coupe today - which makes this video track battle an interesting new-versus-used showdown. According to AE, a well-sorted used M3 CSL will run UK consumers anywhere between £30,000 and £35,000 - roughly $50,000 to $59,000 US. That's a massive premium over the $10k-17k British buyers can expect to shell out for a comparable standard M3, similar to the story that plays out for the 1M versus lesser 1 Series variants.
