2013 Bmw E92 M3 Lime Rock Edition.. on 2040-cars
Walnut Creek, California, United States
|
I'm doing the unthinkable, selling the one car I thought I was going to keep for years to come, needs change, expenses go up and unfortunately for me this amazing car must go…
The car is perfect, I bought it brand new and took great care of it from the moment I drove it off showroom. I adhered to the proper break in steps and always made sure it got the best care it deserved. It does not have a single door ding, scratch, chip or any other blemish. Here are some facts about this remarkable car for those of you whom may not be familiar with it; - Only 200 of these were ever made. - I believe about 30 to 40 were in 6 speed manual. - The E92 was the last of M3 coupes and perhaps only M3 that will ever be fitted with a V8 engine. - It's the opinion of many experts that this M3 generation will be one of very few modern cars to become future classic, - Out of all the 2008 to 2013 M3 production run, ONLY 200 were like this, this makes the car rarest of a future classic and in my opinion one of the best M3s ever made. - Here is your chance to own this wonderful car, I'm sure I will regret selling it in the future. This Lime Rock is all stock with exception of the 20 inch Vorsteiner Technik Performance wheels fitted with 285/30 ZR20 Michelins in rear and 255/30 ZR 20s in front, tires have over 80% thread. Factory options are; - Lime Rock package ( Orange paint, black Novillo leather interior, Titanium sport exhaust, flat bottom Alcantara steering wheel, carbon fiber rear spoiler and front spoiler lips). - Competition package( Dynamic Damper Control, carbon fiber roof). - Cold weather package ( front heated seats, Ski bag, retractable headlight washers). - Premium package( Power folding mirrors, universal garage opener, comfort access, power rear shade, park distance control, Navigation system, Voice command, real time traffic info). - Carbon leather trim. - Certificate of authenticity signed head of BMW M division and head of BMW NA. - Here is a very cool fact about this car, BMW originally sent two copies of the certificate of authenticity with an error in the VIN!! They sent two other copies later with correct VIN, I have all the copies, this is probably the only one with two wrong COAs and two correct ones, very cool. - The Vorsteiners are forged, set retails for almost $8K. - Much much more.. In the interest of full disclosure I need to mention the front right rim has a one inch curb rash ( pictured). I had the clear front bra installed when I bought the car and a few weeks ago I noticed two small tares, there are no damages to the paint, looks like the clear bra did it's job. The rear wheels rub a bit at freeway speed if there is a medium or large dip, although this is not causing any damage to the car but it should be noted. I really hate having to sell this car and I hope someone else can appreciate it and keep it for a long time as I know it will become a sought after BMW. I might consider a trade of a clean low milage E30 325is with 5 speed or an M roadster. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions. |

BMW 2 Series caught uncovered during shoot
Thu, 16 May 2013Before we know it, the BMW 1 Series will be no more in the United States. Well, sort of. The current six-year-old coupe and convertible will be replaced by the fancy new 2 Series you see here, spotted completely uncovered during a photo shoot, with the 1 Series nomenclature being reserved for the hatchback and GT models that might not ever make it Stateside.
The roofline of the new 2 Series doesn't appear to have to changed all that much from the current 1 Series coupe, but the front and rear fascias have indeed been smoothed out. (Truth time: As much as your author adores the 1 Series, he's always found its rear end to be, well, weird.) It looks good, seen here in M235i guise, with large wheels, slimmer headlamps and large air intakes on either side of the front fascia.
The 2 Series is expected to come to the States, likely in M235i and 228i variants, though rumors suggest that we won't get a non-M 235i model. The M235i is expected to be powered by the N55 turbocharged inline-six that we currently enjoy in the 335i sedan, producing something like 320 horsepower. The 228i, unsurprisingly, should use the 2.0-liter turbo-four from the 328i, making around 240 hp. Both engines will almost certainly employ eight-speed automatic transmissions and six-speed manuals.
Former BMW M boss and Maserati CEO killed in freak motorcycle accident
Mon, 19 Aug 2013It's a tragic coincidence that on the same weekend the BMW M4 Coupe Concept was introduced in Monterey, one of the men most integral to BMW's M and Motorsports divisions, Karl-Heinz Kalbfell, was killed in England. Kalbfell, a vintage motorcycle enthusiast, was set to compete in the Lansdowne Classic Series at Brands Hatch and had an accident during a practice session. After going wide at Druids Corner and falling, he was hit by a competitor following close behind and died of his injuries after being transported to hospital.
Kalbfell, an engineer, began his career at BMW in 1977 in the communications department; a decade later he was chairman of BMW M GmbH, overseeing development of some of the cars responsible for the myth of M. In 1994 he was named chairman of BMW Motorsport, and his cap full of feathers includes getting the BMW V12 into the McLaren F1, getting the BMW V8 into two Morgan cars, along with developing BMW's Formula One engine and return to the sport. Not incidentally, he also assumed leadership of Project Rolls-Royce after BMW bought the British marque in 1998, which means he oversaw the Goodwood factory upfit and the creation of the Phantom.
He left Rolls-Royce for a brief stint at Fiat, heading Alfa Romeo and Maserati, then went into consulting for clients like Lotus and Paragon, who built the Artega GT. As Autocar notes, Kalbfell "had an abiding sense that customers needed to be attracted to cars by their aura and reputation, not just their engineering." He will be missed.
BMW to unveil X4 in March
Mon, 04 Nov 2013It's been about half a year since BMW unveiled the X4 concept in Shanghai. But if you've been waiting for news on when it will reach production, the latest intel indicates it'll be announced next March.
Just when in March? That's the strange part. Inautonews reports having been told by BMW that the new X4 will be announced on March 14. So, the Geneva Motor Show, then? Not quite: although that show will still be going on then, the doors open to journalists like us on March 4, not 14. So either someone has got some details mixed up, or BMW - for some reason - is planning on waiting until after Geneva to reveal the production X4.
Whenever it does, we'll be looking at a slantback version of the X3, much like BMW did with the X5 and X6, giving Bavaria a rival to the Range Rover Evoque and Porsche Macan.
