2003 Bmw M3 on 2040-cars
Edgewood, Texas, United States
If you have any questions please email at: gilbertegsstudier@chelseafans.net . I'm sure I'll regret doing this at some point, but the time has come to sell this awesome piece of engineering and
machinery. The car has performed flawlessly and without any major issue for the last year I've owned it. The car
walks a very fine line between "streetable" and "racecar", but is executed perfectly, in my opinion. The Recaro
Pole Position Seats are amazingly comfortable. At TX2k this year I drove back and forth from DT Houston to Royal
Purple Raceway (across Houston) and every person that road with me commented on how comfortable they are. The car
has been to 2 events in the last year that I've owned it and 1 event earlier in 2014 with the previous owner. Each
time it has performed flawlessly and made back to back to back passes. I honestly wouldn't hesitate to drive this
car cross-country, as long as there was plenty of E-85 along the way. With that being said the car is Flex Fuel and
is currently tuned for 91 and any ethanol blend (AEM Infinity adjusts parameters based on ethanol content with
strategies similar to what an OEM vehicle would use). There are 4 boost settings, which are controlled via the
cruise control buttons on the steering wheel and displayed on the tachometer accordingly (ie. 1k RPM = Boost
Setting 1, 2k RPM = Boost Setting 2, 3k RPM = Boost Setting 3, etc.). Two-Step/Antilag are also controlled through
the steering wheel on the On/Off Switch for cruise control. The cruise set button modulates the Traction Control
for the AEM Infinity. OEM Traction Control is retained to the best of my knowledge. This car has so many trick
features on it and gets compliments everywhere I take it. It is insanely fast for a BMW, or for any car for that
matter. Was the previous record holder for the fastest 1/4 mile time and speed.
I am selling the car simply because I don't get to use it often enough. The roads where I lived are incredibly
rough and I typically only drive the car when trailered to somewhere else for an event. Would really like to sell
it to someone who is a BMW enthusiast and will keep this car in the amazing condition it is in. The asking price is
OBO and is based on multiple factors including the work, effort and craftsmanship that went into building this car
as well as its condition. I do not want to trade for any other vehicles, property, or anything that isn't
deposit-able into a checking account.

BMW calling in 76k vehicles over airbag issues
Mon, 16 Dec 2013Vehicles these days are typically fitted with a mat in the front passenger seat that determines whether that airbag needs to be activated in the event of a collision and how it should deploy. But that system doesn't always work, as Mercedes recently found in its SL-Class roadster and as Suzuki did before it with the Grand Vitara and SX4 crossovers. Now a crop of BMW vehicles have befallen the same issue, prompting the Bavarian automaker to cooperate with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for the vehicles in question.
The problem affects precisely 76,565 vehicles, including certain the 3 Series (sedan and wagon), 5 Series, 7 Series and X5 crossover families spanning the 2006 and 2007 model years and fitted with a certain type of seat. However, since the parts to repair the problematic components are not currently available, as you can see from the recall notice below, it won't be until March 2014 when local dealers will be able to resolve the issue.
BMW could add all-electric Mini, X3 SUV
Tue, Oct 4 2016BMW's Mini sub-brand will add a battery-electric variant as the company looks to meet stricter emissions mandates around the world, according to an interview Bloomberg News conducted with CEO Harald Krueger. BMW is also planning an all-electric version of its X3 SUV and may start greening up models as large as its 7 Series sedan, though that prospect is far cloudier. The all-electric Mini will be available to the public as soon as 2019, while the battery-electric X3 SUV will likely start sales the following year. BMW didn't offer specifics about how much those models would cost or far they will be able to travel on a full electric charge, with Krueger only saying single-charge ranges would be "competitive" with other all-electric models. BMW this summer upgraded the battery in its i3 electric vehicle and boosted its single-charge range by about 40 percent to 114 miles. As for demand for BMW's i sub-brand vehicles, US sales of the i3 through September fell 27 percent to almost 5,800 vehicles, while sales of the i8 plug-in hybrid are down 19 percent to about 1,100 units, BMW said on Monday. Meanwhile, word got out earlier this year that BMW may dedicate the Rocketman concept hatchback as Mini's entrant to the electric-vehicle sector. BMW actually used a Mini as its first electric testing vehicle. The Mini E was produced in 2009 and 2010 before giving way to the BMW ActiveE, which was actually a converted 1-Series vehicle. Eventually, BMW started producing the i3. Related Video: Featured Gallery Mini Rocketman Concept View 25 Photos News Source: Bloomberg News Green BMW MINI SUV Electric
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
