2003 Bmw M3 Smg Nav on 2040-cars

Up for sale is my 2003 BMW M3. This M3 has 177,xxx miles on it and features the SMGII transmission. The motor runs very strong and has never given me an issue. In the 2 years that I've owned the vehicle, oil has been changed at 7,500 mile intervals (half of the factory recommendation) and has received schedule 2 maintenance in the last 15,000 miles.
FCABs have been replaced with OEM units and RTABs replaced with Rogue Engineering black units to stiffen up the rear slightly; replaced at the same time with <15,000 miles on them. About a year ago I had Agency Power headers fitted on the car and the stock pipes removed. This car has NO catalytic converters, and the rear O2 sensors are not installed. Section 1 and 2 of the exhaust are the OEM units, and the rear muffler was replaced shortly after I purchased the vehicle with an Eisenmann Race 4x83mm piece with perforated tips. There is a slight exhaust rattle at idle that goes away under load; I simply haven't taken the time to replace the worn factory hangers. For the past two winters I have used Plasti-Dip to protect the 18'' OEM wheels from the elements. Underneath they are in ok condition, showing curb rash from the previous owner. Interior shows wear typical of a vehicle with this age. The leather is in overall good condition with some wear in the bottom of the front seats and a tear in the driver's side bolster (please see photos). The stock Titanium trim was also wrapped in 3M titanium vinyl by a previous owner and is showing some wear, but overall in ok condition. I also had the newest Dynavin installed to replace the factory navigation unit that had a cracked screen when I purchased the vehicle. It accepts a 30 pin iPod/iPhone connection in the glove box. The sound system is standard, save the addition of a 10'' JL Audio W6 in the trunk to fill out the bass frequencies that the stock speakers just couldn't provide. I have also installed larger, easier to use aluminum SMG paddles behind the steering wheel. Since I've owned the vehicle it has been in two accidents. One was a very minor rear-end collision that had the rear bumper replaced with a new piece, and the other the driver's side quarter panel was hit in a parking lot. Both repaired professionally by a local body shop and were purely cosmetic; the performance of the car hasn't changed. The reason for sale is my job requires me to travel quite a bit, and driving the M3 just isn't economical for me anymore. I'm looking to move to something a little more calm with fewer miles and better fuel mileage. Also, the past week it has blown two SMG relays and I don't have the time to track down the issue. Replacing the relay fixes the problem for a while before it happens again. My assumption is either a wiring issue near the transmission, or the hydraulic pump is on the way out--my reserve price reflects this, as I'm not 100% sure of the issue myself. The car currently runs and drives with NO issues, but should be addressed by the buyer. Any questions may be forwarded to me here and I will answer in a timely fashion. I'm also happy to attach more photos in an email upon request. The car is currently located in Middle Tennessee. Any shipping will need to be arranged by the buyer, as I cannot provide this service for you.

Then we go into what we've been driving - David just finished his time in the Porsche Panamera Turbo and Mike tried the GMC Acadia.

BMW may be planning AMG Black Series competitors
Fri, 01 Feb 2013Word has it BMW has its heart set on giving the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series a run for its money in the US. According to BimmerBoost.com, the German automaker has been making more and more noise about offering a number of specialty models aimed specifically at enthusiasts. While at the Detroit Auto Show this year, the BMW PR machine revealed 2013 will be "an interesting year" and that buyers can expect one or two products aimed specifically at swiping buyers from the clutches of the C63 AMG Black Series. The news came courtesy of Automobile writer Marc Noordeloos' Twitter machine.
Noordeloos reportedly interviewed several executives familiar with the M models while in Detroit, and says the M division would like to offer hardware like the M3 CSL, GTS or CRT to buyers here in the States. That sounds great to us, but saying something doesn't make it true, and manufacturers rarely find it in their hearts to bring money-losing machines to our green shores. Still, that won't stop us from crossing our fingers.
Genesis G70 vs sport sedan rivals: How it compares on paper
Fri, Sep 15 2017We got our first look at the Genesis G70 sport sedan today. We think it looks good, with enough ties to its fellow Genesises (Geneses?) to further establish the brand and just enough distinction to help it stand out from the crowd. But ah yes, the crowd. Although Genesis didn't release the G70's full spec sheet, it revealed just enough for us to start sizing it up to its future competition. There are certainly others with which to compare (Lexus IS, Cadillac ATS, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Jaguar XE just to name a few), but we decided to take a look at the best sellers and most competitive luxury sport sedans. (And hey, if you like this, we can always do a follow up) So, here we have the Genesis G70 vs BMW 3 Series vs Audi A4 / S4 vs Mercedes-Benz C-Class vs Infiniti Q50. Nothing like a good chart to dig your teeth into on a Friday. Note that we only compared those models that line up with the G70. So, we left out the BMW 320i and Audi A4 Ultra entry level models as well as the Q50 3.0t mid-grade model that's considerably cheaper than the German performance upgrade models we listed. All 0-60 figures are rough estimates based on several sources, models/drivetrains and OEM figures.
