The overall condition of this M3 is super nice inside and out! This car has been properly cared for and well maintained since it was new by a fellow BMW CCA club member. This car has always been serviced and was in fact a former BMW CPO car. Everything is up to date including the inspection II, the wheels and tires have been replaced, brakes and rotors have plenty of life on them, as they were recently replaced, and most importantly all the dealer recommended inspections have been completed on time when they were due. 

Please note that this is not your typical 01' E46 M3, I was in search of this car for over a year, my last E46 M3 was an SMG 04' with 50k, but  I really wanted to purchase a 6 spd manual. As i started searching I started running into the same issue over and over again of most of the cars were beat and abused, many were tracked and many owned by younger individuals, which made them rougher cars in general. The main thing that attracted me was that i was purchasing from someone i knew.

Most of these cars due to the age they have a very limited amount of information available in regards to how they have been taken care of and how it was driven. This car has always waxed, garage kept, never driven in chicago winters. 
I really don't want to part with the car but recently I had the opportunity to be able to purchase an EVO E30 M3 and I need to make room in my garage. 

Please note this car is in great condition but being a used car please have realistic expectations. Exterior condition I would rate a 9/10 only flaws are some some rock chips in the front bumper clear bra, always minor ding in front passenger fender, and very minor scratch on rear deck-lid, the front clear bra also shows wear due to its age but it has done phenomenal job of protecting the car. Tires id say they have plenty of tread left they were only put on a few months ago, rims are brand new as well, there are no rock chips on the hood, rear bumper is in excellent shape.  To my knowledge this car has absolutely no paint work. You must come see this car to really appreciate it.  Feel free to schedule a time to come by my office and check out the car, i'd love to show it to any serious buyers, please do any inspections, or test drives prior to purchasing the car.

Bangle urges auto design shakeup, says industry not innovating

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

Controversial designer Chris Bangle, the man behind the notorious E65 BMW 7-Series "Bangle Butt," has some rather sharp criticism for the current crop of automotive designers in an upcoming full-length interview with Automotive News Europe. The preview, posted on Automotive News, details parts of the interview, with the always vocal Bangle lamenting the state of modern automotive design.
"Even concept cars today simply anticipate the next production model coming down the line. Is this innovation? No. And at the end of the day this is what's preventing car design from moving into a new era." Controversial as Bangle's design philosophy may be, we can't help but think he has a point. His so-called "flame surfacing" at BMW and other stylistic elements had a huge influence on modern automotive design, although as the years have passed, there hasn't been much innovation on the same scale.
Interestingly, Bangle also mentions that he's been courted by a few manufacturers that wanted to install the American as the head of their design teams. He's flatly rejected them, telling ANE, "It's not something you can do part time, you have to do it with all your heart and soul or you're going to get it wrong."

BMW M5 turns 30, celebrates sideways

Sun, 13 Apr 2014

BMW has a secret, and it's not telling. The brand's M Power blog is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the M5 and is taking a look back at previous models of its Autobahn-storming sedan, but it says that it will end "with a surprise." The celebration kicks off with a short video showing the latest M5 making some smoky donuts.
The original M5 debuted in 1985 and was the company's most expensive model at the time. Still, it packed a 3.5-liter six-cylinder generating a claimed 282 horsepower (286 PS), which was rather potent in its day. The company touted it as the world's fastest production four-door sports sedan at the time.
BMW won't reveal the surprise until it has chronicled all five generations of the M5, but it wouldn't be shocking to see an anniversary edition model appear sometime later this year. Scroll down to check out the video of the muscle sedan celebrating its birthday the only way it knows how.

BMW celebrates with M4 DTM Champion Edition

Tue, 21 Oct 2014

Go back just a few seasons, and Germany's DTM touring car series was a straight-up competition between Audi and Mercedes-Benz. But BMW rejoined the race in 2012, winning both the drivers' and constructors' titles on its first year back and celebrating with a special matte-black M3 DTM Champion Edition. Last season, it won the constructors' championship but not the drivers', and this year it did the opposite. In short, it's been an impressive comeback for the Bavarian automaker, and to celebrate this year's accomplishments, it's followed up with the new M4 DTM Champion Edition for Europe you see here.
Based on the new M4 coupe - which forms the basis for BMW's DTM challenger as well as its pace car - the Champion Edition is distinguished by its special livery: The orange grille frame, the matte black hood and trunk with multicolored stripes, the black stripes along its shoulder and rocker panel, and the blacked-out 19-inch wheels all to pay homage to champion Marco Wittmann's racecar, as does special lettering on the rear windows.
Other enhancements include black front splitter and skirts, carbon front flaps and mirror caps, rear spoiler and carbon diffuser, while autographed sill plates and carbon interior trim with the car's serial number adorn the cabin. Only 23 examples will be offered, symbolic of the number adorning the winning tin-top racer and the flank of this special edition as well.
