The all important M Sport Package:

• Steptronic Transmission - Full auto mode, sport mode and also full manual mode where you

can shift through all 5 gears as you wish

• High-Stall Torque Converter - This means the engine can spin faster, use more gas and thus

make more power when starting off. I learned this the hard way. My garage door shows it!

• 3.15 : 1 performance rear axle ratio. This means the car is always in a lower gear than the

standard 2.82 : 1 ratio on standard 540i models. This way you always get more torque at

the rear wheels which means more thrust which means more acceleration

• M-Sport Aero Kit - Same body kit as on the M5, including front and rear bumpers and side

skirts

• M Suspension II - Unique for 2003. This is stiffer springs, shocks and anti-sway bars. It also

lowers the entire car by 0.8 inches. It still rides nice and comfy, and makes it stiff and

nimble enough for a lot of fun anywhere you drive.

• Black Roofliner - Unique for 2003. Instead of gray, the whole roofliner is black. Kind of a

Darth Vader look. Very cool. No, very, very cool!

• M Footrest - Unique for 2003. This is a place to rest your left foot while you drive.

• M Sport Steering Wheel - This is the excellent thick leather steering wheel with perfectly

positioned finger controls for the radio, CD player and cruise control. It's a masterpiece of

ergonomics.

• M Sport Door Sills

• High Gloss Shadowline Trim - This is black chrome around the windows instead of the usual

silver. Beautiful touch.

• Original M-Sport Parallel Spoke Style 37 Forged Alloy Wheels, raised surface polished. Car

came with 17 M Parallel II's. Also, 5 BBS RC’s, 17’s, lovely

• 12-Way Power Memory Sports Seats, all functional. These are, hands down, the best seats

I’ve ever sat in on a factory car. You do not move through a corner, and you’ll take the

corners!!

• Heated Seats and headlight washers, yes, it has the cold weather package, but not a heated steering wheel.  The sport package changes the wheel to a smaller, leather wrapped version.  Perfect, really.



Custom options added:

TEC console cup holder

Black front kidney grills. I still have the originals.

Black rubber BMW mats, plus the original carpets.

Weather Tech mat for the trunk

Custom tint

New rear Eagle GT’s

New rear wiper assembly

Audi to spend $17 billion to fight BMW

Sat, 29 Dec 2012

It's no secret that VW Group, parent company to not only Volkswagen but also Audi, Bugatti, Bentley, Lamborghini, Porsche and Ducati brands sold in the US, is determined to become the world's largest automaker. Even more impressive is that VW is prepared to spend billions to make it happen.
With that comes word that VW Group will be spending $17 billion on its Audi brand over the next three years to push itself above rival BMW. The money will be invested in both vehicle development (including lightweight auto design and alternative powertrains) and facilities (including expansion in Hungary, China and new operations in Mexico). The luxury brand is focused on global manufacturing infrastructure.
Already Europe's best-selling luxury brand, Audi's objective is to overtake BMW by the end of the decade by selling more than two million cars per year (BMW is shooting for 1.54 million sales in 2013). If those objectives are met, VW Group should be on track to be the industry's volume leader by 2018.

10 automakers sued over keyless ignitions

Thu, Aug 27 2015

Keyless ignition has rapidly proliferated throughout the auto industry to become a fairly normal feature on new cars. It's supposed to offer the convenience of keeping the fob in your pocket and just pressing a button to drive away. However, ten major automakers are now being sued in US District Court over claims that the system is dangerous, Reuters reports. The suit alleges that people are forgetting to shut off the engine, and the lack of an idle timer is the cause for 13 deaths by carbon monoxide poisoning and multiple injuries. The suit currently includes 28 plaintiffs, according to Reuters, but the lawyers are asking for class-action status to potentially add many more. The case goes after a major swath of the industry, including BMW, Daimler, FCA, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen, plus their related brands like Acura, Infiniti, Mini, and Lexus. In all, over five million vehicles are affected. The assertion here is that people walk away from their vehicle without shutting it off because they believe the engine shuts off automatically. If parked in a garage, carbon monoxide can build up, leading to poisoning. The lawyers claim automakers know this is a problem and also cite 27 complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about the issue, according to Reuters. The plaintiffs are asking for an automatic shut-off and damages from the companies. These concerns have come up before, though. Toyota previously faced a lawsuit over a carbon monoxide death after a woman accidentally left her Lexus running. Also earlier this year, GM recalled 64,186 examples of the 2011-2013 Chevrolet Volt because owners weren't shutting them off. The problem resulted in two injuries, and the company released a software update to limit the idling time.

Ring Taxi BMW M3 chases an Aventador SV and Cayman GT4

Thu, Apr 7 2016

On paper, a BMW M3 that's loaded with three passengers probably shouldn't have a chance at keeping up around a track with a Porsche Cayman GT4 and a Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce. In the real world, driver skill and track knowledge can make all the difference, though. And when the M3 is a Nurburgring Taxi with a driver that knows the course incredibly well, we end up getting a fantastic lap like this one. The 'Ring Taxi driver starts by teasing his passengers that they'll see whether the Lambo is fast. Before the two of them get on track, the GT4 cuts in to join the party. What follows is a fascinating lap of the Nordschleife. It's impressive how the BMW driver's skill allows him to keep up with the two other cars and blow past tons of other traffic. During faster sections, the Porsche and Aventador start to pull away, but as soon as the course gets curvy again, the M3 is right back in the action. As the group pulls back into the parking lot, even the Ring Taxi driver sounds impressed with his performance. See the impressive show in the video above. Related Video:
