If you are looking at this car, chances are you know a fair amount about it. However if not here is some info on the ZCP/Competition package and SMG transmission

Competition/ZCP Package- This was offered by BMW for only the last two production years of the E46 ('05 & '06) It is basically a "de-tuned" european CSL version (which is extremely rare and normally reaches 6 figure prices) The differences from a normal M3 to an M3 with the Competition package are listed below..
- Larger compound and cross drilled brake rotors
- Different steering rack similar to a CSL, has a tighter ratio, steers completely different from an M3
- Alcantra wrapped Steering wheel, SMG gear selector, and e-brake handle.
- All cruise and stereo buttons removed from steering wheel, fitted only with a Track Mode button that changes the rear diff and traction control settings
- 19" csl wheels (very light weight).
- Competition/ZCP only brushed aluminum trim
To me a ZCP car is very different from a normal m3. You get more of an "experience" driving the car.

SMG Transmission- It is the exact same gearbox as the 6 speed manual that was offered. The only difference being the clutch is controlled by a hydraulic pump controlled by a brain box. There is no clutch pedal in the car, but it is a manual. You have to drive it like a manual, and get used to driving it like a manual. The car "operates" the clutch as you press on the gas pedal. There are many cool features like 6 different shift maps you can select from to change the severity of the gear change, also rev matching on down shifts, and launch control. This transmission shifts faster than a human in S6 mode, and really cannot ever "miss" a shift like a human. It is faster than the 6 speed manual car.







Car was originally from California, then shipped to previous owner in Illinois (Chicago Area), and now owned by me in MN.
I am the third owner of the car.

It has 51,000 miles and slowly rising




I have a full photobucket album available with pictures of the car. (over 70 pictures) Please contact me for further info or the link to this album.


Thank you and have a great day

BMW says current M3 sold out, no new AWD M models planned

Mon, 06 May 2013

Car and Driver asked the head of BMW M, Friedrich Nitschke, a few questions about what the go-fast division had in mind for the future, and was rewarded with some enlightening answers. The best news to purist ears is that Nitschke said customers don't want all-wheel drive on their M cars, so it's the rear wheels alone that will propel new product into the future. If you want both an M badge and four driven wheels, it's the X5 M, X6 M and M Performance models you're looking for in the catalog.
"Mixed bag" is the phrase you're looking for regarding the other answers. Nitschke said that future M engines "at the core of their architecture" would "be closer to BMW AG engines" that are optimized for M cars, instead of following in the line of unique marvels like the V10 and naturally aspirated V8. They will keep the high redlines, however, with Nitschke saying "there is room beyond" the 7,000 rpm mark in BMW's current V8 turbos.
Managing weight will keep the same priority for M that it is for every other brand, so electrically assisted power steering is coming, as is an "unconventional" materials mix. At the smaller end of the M scale, Nitschke described three-cylinder engines as "attractive," saying that the brand can produce more than 310 horsepower from a three-pot.

BMW X4 order guide sneaks onto the web

Thu, 03 Apr 2014

Much like we gave you an early look at the ordering guide for the BMW M3 and M4 (you can now configure those two, as well), yet another list of BMW options has leaked out. This time, the upcoming X4 is the target. We told you last month that prices for the X3-sized, X6-shaped vehicle started at $45,625, and now, we can confirm everything else for the newest Bimmer.
Only two trim lines will be available when the X4 arrives - M Sport and xLine. The former starts at $2,300 for the xDrive28i model and $1,900 for the xDrive35i, and includes as standard, 19-inch wheels (or optional 20s for $950), sport seats, an M steering wheel, a more aggressive body kit, a black headliner and the option of brushed aluminum interior trim. The xLine is $1,500 for the 28i and $1,000 for the 35i, and is made up exclusively of 19-inch Y-spoke wheels and dark copper interior trim.
Metallic colors dominate the pallet, with just a pair of gloss options available alongside the $550 metal-flake colors. BMW offers a pair of SensaTec leatherette options, along side a wide variety of $1,450 leather trims.

BMW adds on-street parking to DriveNow carsharing in SF

Sat, May 10 2014

BMW is putting a new spin on the concept of the San Francisco treat. The German automaker cut a deal to clear out 80 street-parking spaces for its DriveNow car-sharing program in the notoriously parking-constrained City by the Bay. Bimmer is also more than doubling its all-electric ActiveE car-sharing fleet in San Francisco to 150 vehicles from 70. Starting later this month, customers will be able to access the DriveNow website or app to find, reserve and park the electric Bimmers on certain streets in San Francisco's Mission district. Once the car is ready to be turned back in, the vehicle's in-car screen will also indicate what "drop-off" zones the driver can use to end the reservation. It's all very high-tech, and BMW is looking to expand the program to other San Francisco neighborhoods like Bernal Heights, the Haight, Noe Valley and Potrero Hill. There's also a contest for users to name the 80 new vehicles, but it involves a really complicated lettering system. "New" here means new to DriveNow, since these ActiveE electric vehicles are really those that were, until recently, used by the Electronauts in BMW's EV leasing program. Since those leases are ending, the cars need to go somewhere. We think carsharing is a great home for them. BMW, which also runs DriveNow in the German cities of Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Munich and Dusseldorf, said in March that it was looking to add the service to as many as 15 more cities in Europe as well as another 10 in the US. BMW debuted DriveNow in San Francisco in August 2012, though parking the cars has always been an issue. Check out BMW's press release below. BMW Group's DriveNow Car-Sharing Service Expands to Street Parking in San Francisco. San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee and BMW Group board member Dr. Ian Robertson provided details about DriveNow at a news conference on ... Eighty All-Electric BMW ActiveE Vehicles Added to the DriveNow Fleet to Increase the Convenience of Finding and Parking Emission-Free Cars. San Francisco, CA – May 8, 2014... BMW Group subsidiary DriveNow, a flexible, premium car-sharing program, will expand to offer street parking in multiple neighborhoods in San Francisco, beginning in select areas of the Mission District and will add 80 electric BMW ActiveE vehicles to the existing fleet, increasing the total number of ActiveE vehicles in the San Francisco Bay Area to 150. DriveNow members will have the opportunity to name the 80 electric vehicles in a two-week social media challenge.
