I have this M3 for sale.  This car is in excellent mechanical condition.  I have been asked by the owner to assist in selling it for him.  He has several cars and needs to get rid of some.  I operate an Independent BMW Repair shop here in Houston and this is a customer’s car.  We have maintained it for several years.  He has always done whatever work we recommended to him and the car is update to date on maintenance.

 

Here is a rundown of when things were last done:

Oil Change – every 5000 miles

You can see the manual transmission has been replaced recently.   This was done because it kept popping out of gear.  We replaced the transmission in November 2013.  It is a brand new BMW transmission.  Parts and labor was right around $7000.  The clutch had been replaced in March of 2013.

 

Other items that have been replaced in the past are:

  • Front wheels bearings

  • AC blower assembly

  • Rear engine seal

  • Front transmission seal

  • Guibo and center bearing

  • Clutch master and slave cylinders.

  • Front and rear shocks/strut assemblies, mounts, bump stops and dust boots.

  • Belts/pulleys

  • Tires are only worn about 10% on the front and 50% in the rear.

  • All brakes are about 10% worn

  • Radiator, expansion tank, front hoses.

 

Things I know that will need attention in the future:

  • Minor play in torsional bushings

  • Constant pressure valve is starting to seep a little bit

  • Oil filter housing is seeping a bit.

  • Some scratches on the front bumper.  Some will buff out (by the wheel well on the left front), the bottom underside is more significant.  Probably from parking too close on a curb.

  • There is wear on the driver seat bolster and the arm rest.

 

I guess that is about it.  Ive got fully liberty to negotiate on this thing.  I know with as good of shape as it is in, we will probably hold out for someone willing to pay on the higher end.  We want cash in hand at pick up, no checks or money orders of course.  Keep this in mind if you are thinking of shipping it because you will need to fly down and pick it up and drive it home.  I have the title in hand, signed.  A bill of sale will be signed as well at pick up.

 

Thanks for looking, let me know if you have questions.

BMW already considering four cylinders for next M3

Tue, 13 May 2014

The cylinder count in BMW's M3 has fluctuated over the years. The original M3 debuted in 1985 packing a 2.3-liter inline-four, but subsequent models went with sixes until the outgoing generation upped the cylinder count to eight. With its latest model, BMW has dropped back to six cylinders with a pair of turbos taking the place of the extra pistons. But the next M3 sedan and M4 coupe could go back to the model line's roots with a four-cylinder engine.
Speaking with BMW M product manager Carsten Pries at the launch of the latest M3 and M4 in Portugal, our Aussie compatriots at Motoring.com.au report that "you could see a future [M3] powered by a four-cylinder engine." Offsetting the reduction in cylinders, the lighter engine would benefit the vehicle's weight and balance, thus enhancing performance.
We wouldn't expect the next M3 and M4 to lose any power in the process, though: Output in the M3 has only risen over the generations, from 192 horsepower in the four-pot original to 282 hp in the six-cylinder E36, 338 hp in the six-cylinder E46, 414 hp in the V8 E90 and 425 ponies in the new turbocharged six-cylinder F80 model. With that latter model having just debuted, it'll likely be a good six or seven years before the next version comes along, giving BMW plenty of time to settle on an engine - however many cylinders and turbochargers it has. In the meantime, you'll have to forgive us for taking a romp down M3 memory lane in the fresh gallery of images above.

2015 BMW X6 keeps it weird

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

Say what you will about the BMW X6 - odd and ugly as it may be, it's actually been sort of successful for the German automaker. BMW has now sold some 250,000 examples of the X6 since its launch, and the company's fastback-crossover-coupe-whatever-thing gets a host of meaningful updates for the 2015 model year while not straying from its original mission.
Aside from its revised styling, most noticeably set apart by its larger, X5-inspired headlamps, the biggest update for the US-spec X6 is the addition of a rear-wheel-drive model, the sDrive35i. This trim joins the all-wheel-drive xDrive35i and xDrive50i, and since you should all be capable of decoding BMW's weird naming structure by now, you know this means the X6 will be offered with a choice of 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder and twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engines. Fuel economy figures have not been released yet, but BMW says the new powertrains are more efficient than before, mated exclusively to an eight-speed automatic transmission regardless of cylinder count.
Look for the updated X6 to hit US showrooms this fall, following its debut this week in Paris. Expect pricing to be revealed closer to the model's on-sale date. Have a look below for all of the details.

BMW i3 wins 2015 Green Car of the Year award

Thu, Nov 20 2014

The popular little BMW i3 (popular in the US, at least) was named the 2015 Green Car of the Year at the Los Angeles Auto Show today. The award doesn't just take into account a car's green credentials but also its "availability to the mass market." While the i3 is a bit expensive, starting at $41,350, it is becoming available at BMW dealers across the country, which cannot be said about a lot of other new plug-in vehicles released these past few years. The other finalists this year were the CNG-powered Chevy Impala Bi-Fuel, the Audi A3 TDI, the Honda Fit and the VW Golf. The BMW i3 with range extender gets a fuel economy rating of 117 MPGe and 39 miles per gallon (in gas mode) with a 72-mile EV range. The EV-only version gets 124 MPGe combined (137 in the city and 111 on the highway) and has an EV range of 81 miles. Green Car Journal has handed out the award every year for ten years now, naming the Honda Accord Hybrid/Plug-In Hybrid the winner last year, the Ford Fusion models (plug-in hybrid and hybrid) in 2013, the Honda Civic Natural Gas in 2012 and the Chevrolet Volt in 2011. BMW i3 NAMED GREEN CAR JOURNAL'S 2015 GREEN CAR OF THE YEAR" Milestone Carbon Fiber Electric Car Wins the Auto Industry's Most Important Environmental Award at Los Angeles Auto Show LOS ANGELES, CA (November 20, 2014) – BMW's i3, an innovative electric car built with a lightweight carbon fiber passenger cell and an aluminum drive module, has been named Green Car Journal's 2015 Green Car of the Year®, which was announced at the LA Auto Show. Green Car of the Year® finalists also included the Audi A3 TDI, Chevrolet Impala Bi-Fuel, Honda Fit, and VW Golf. The Green Car of the Year® award is an honor widely recognized as the auto industry's most important environmental accolade. Green Car Journal, the leading voice in the intersection of automobiles, energy, and the environment since the publication's launch in 1992, celebrates the high-profile award's 10th anniversary at the L.A. Auto Show this year. "BMW's i3 is a milestone vehicle in many respects and illustrates the automaker's expansive vision of future motoring," said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com.
