2006 Bmw M3 Competition Zcp Package, 51k Miles, Jet Black Coupe Must See!! on 2040-cars
United States
Your looking at a 2006 M3, Competition/ZCP, Jet Black, SMG. The car has 51,000 miles Factory Options From BMW - Competition Package - Cold Weather Package - SMG - Parking Assist (Sensors) - Navigation - Bluetooth - Moonroof - Jet Black Also Included - ALL original booklets, manuals, and window sticker - Two factory OEM keys and vallet key - Thick folder of all maintenance records, dealer records, etc The following has been done in the last 6-7000 miles. It has very tasteful "modifications" Absolutely no engine/drivetrain mods what so ever. Mostly appearance, handling, or maintenance. Have stock parts as well that were taken off if you wish to turn back to 100% original. - Brand new authentic CSL wheels, the rears are ZCP but they are new as well. The fronts are REAL AUTHENTIC CSL. I removed the old ones because of previous owner curb rash. - New TC Kline SA suspension. (Have stock) I've also replaced the bearing blocks after initial install so it no longer squeaks. - New Michelin PSS tires. 275/30-19 rear, 245/35-19 front - Rogue Engineering 10mm spacers up front - RRT lug conversion - New Powerflex RTAB's - New Powerflex FCAB's - Corner balanced - Aligned - New belts - New battery (CSL/MINI) - WeatherTech Precision Floorliners - Rear diff seal replaced (warranty item) - New glass and window motor on drivers side (warranty item) - 35% tint - Body color painted front side reflectors - Black grills/gills (Have Stock Chrome grills as well!!) - Intravee with the Alpine interface for iPod - Sirius radio. The Sirius has worked for free since the install, I bought it used. No guarantees for how long the subscription will last but it's been two years so far! 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 |

2015 BMW X6
Mon, 13 Oct 2014Most everyone would agree that BMW offers a range of very attractive and well-proportioned coupes, sedans, crossovers and wagons. Yet there is one member of its family that has always struck us as a bit odd: the X6.
Proudly coined "The world's first Sports Activity Coupe" by its German maker, the X6 features a wedge-shaped body with a characteristic sloping roofline that appears to squash the heads of its second-row occupants. The crossover rides high off the ground, with a pronounced gap between its chassis and oversized wheel/tire package, capped by short overhangs on both ends. Although curious to the eyes, its overall styling is masculine, and its stance aggressive.
Whether you consider the X6 to be attractive or an eyesore - opinions seem about equally divided - there is nobody at BMW questioning its business model. As of today, the automaker has sold more than 260,000 copies of its five-door crossover, which is why it has flown us to Spartanburg, SC, to sample its second-generation 2015 BMW X6.

Formula E gets wireless-charging BMW i8 safety car [w/video]
Tue, 26 Aug 2014Racing series typically select a safety car appropriate to the kinds of racecars for which they'll be setting the pace. So you might find a Mercedes SLS pacing a Formula One grand prix, for example, and you're more likely to find a BMW M4 on duty at a DTM race and a Chevy Camaro or SS on an oval speedway for a NASCAR or Indy race. It would only stand to reason, then, that the FIA Formula E Championship kicking off next month in Beijing would press a plug-in into service as its safety car. But the organizers didn't go for your run-of-the-mill Nissan Leaf or Toyota Prius.
No, the safety car for Formula E will be a BMW i8 specially modified for the occasion. As you can see from the video below, the hybrid sports car packs a full roll cage, racing buckets with harnesses, special communications systems and on-board fire extinguishers. But that's not all.
In partnership with technological partner Qualcomm, the Formula E support fleet - including two examples each of the i8 and i3 - will feature inductive charging. So while one is out on the track, or at least sitting at the end of the pit lane waiting to be deployed - the other will be charging wirelessly. The vehicles are still pending FIA approval, and only one has been outfitted with the Qualcomm Halo wireless charging system (with the others to be retrofitted later), but they were all on hand for the recent practice race at Donnington Park.
