For sale is my 2003 BMW m3.. It is a very clean car.. gets looks everywhere I go.. I am the 2, 3rd and 4th owner let me explain.. I purchased this car used gosh years ago.. Had a divorce and sold it to my father for safe keeping, I still drove it, and then once done I purchased it back from my father.. So hope that clears up confusion if you do a car fax.. I have the documents to prove this as well..
Mechanically its sound, all inspections are uptodate, including inspection 2 was performed just this may at a certified dealer (I have documentation). SMG pump, Clutch, Flywheel, gear selector system was all replaced last year at again the same certified BMW dealer and I have reciepts to show it.. So you have a year left on the warranty of those parts if needs be..
While inspection 2 was being done, I replaced the waterpump, radiator, coil packs, plugs, transmission fluid, rear differential cover and fluid, of course motor oil TWS 10w60 and mann filter like the car always has had via the dealer only. power steering hoses are new as the pressure had a slow drop to it this spring, so during inspection I had it replaced also. Belt etc all brand new.. as of this spring... Car runs like a dream!! No subframe issues were found when inspected.
Car has new suspension bushings, brakes have around 6K miles on them as they were replaced last year ar around 88K miles give or take a few.. Tires are new as of this spring so 90% tread left on them..
Wheels are 19" CSL wheels staggered fitment, OEM suspension, CSL replicated Carbon roof, Carbon GTR hood (its painted to match the car minus the vents), Carbon trunk lever, and carbon diffuser.. It looks great off the matte black paint.. which was done in the spring also.. again I have reciept from the body shop who did it.. The color is Duport Hot Rod Black.. surprisingly very easy to clean... soap and water and microfiber towel dry and your done for the paint.. that simple!! Looks supurb, and def gets attention!! Also has the CSL front bumper lip..
Interior is in excellent condition also, leather has always been conditioned and cleaned. floor mats are in great shape and are the orginials. Stereo is only thing not OEM, but if buyer demands I have the OEM hardon Kardon stuff I can toss back in and keep my upgraded stuff but price of vehicle will not change due to this, and buyer only gets one..
I have 6.5" Alpine type R component sets in the doors, and the rear deck lid, and a layer of dynamat in the trunk, floor, and doors of this car.. It has a sony HD headunit for HD radio listening or for your Ipod which I use a lot.. I even have a 12" Sub that is in the trunk and easily removeable... The stereo completely rocks, No you wont win car shows with the stereo, or a competition with it.. But It sure the heck beats OEM by a heck of a lot.. Its boarder line too loud if you want it.. But it is super clean and crisp... I listen to rock and country often (yes odd mix) but it plays mudvayne exceptional then I toss brad paisley in and it sounds just as good.. and rumbles the mirrors without distortion..
Lights on the car all all HID 6000K, and are the auto adjustible versions.. meaning they align themselves automatically.. You can see it once you first power up the car.. the headlights will move up and down and find the center.. its kinda cool but ive grown used to it..
Exhaust is OEM, and the o2 sensors I replaced this spring when I did the inspection just cause they claim 90-100k is average life of a sensor, so I just went ahead and put new ones in while I was there.. it didnt need it but i did it anyways.. I am kinda picky on this car, and any sign of trouble it goes to the dealer asap... but i never really had any issues with it.. and its in my view in excellent condition.. all the major if;s on the m3 cars I have either replaced, or upgraded already with documents to show it... so the new owner should have years of driving pleasure with no concerns..
drives straight, handles amazingly like any m car should, and it isnt the fastest off the line but it does well.. It shines in the upper rpm range and on the highway... I never had it going to 160+ but i bet it will do it no doubt about it.. the car shocks lots of stangs and camaros when they toy with it.. lol... that being said its been my m3 for years, if you want a car that never once in its life been ran hard keep looking.. I have redlined it before and gotten on it and drove it like it should, but 80% the time I drove it like it was a metro haha!! so No it was not abused.. it was never on the strip or any track for that matter.. and if anyone who owns a sports car says they never got on their car to see some power they are liars... I have and will admit to it, and darn its fun!!! But it was never anything i did on a daily basis by any means..
car never was driven in snow or salt.. heck i barely drive it in any bad weather.. once in a while rain if i get caught in it.. but normally it sits in my garage on bad days.. but when its sunny I drive it, and i like to drive it a lot... I put a years worth of mileage on it in 4 months every year cause I try and drive it that much.. but once weather comes.. its in the garage with a cover over it, and tis started here and there just to keep it going well and not to drain the battery..
Ohh that reminds me the battery is new last fall too, its a OEM BMW battery that I wish i went to autozone for as it cost me around 300 dollars and i could did it myself for around 70.. ohh well, least its new...
questions please ask away.. ill be happy to answer them, and sales are final.. I wont do joy rides with you etc.. if you buy it ill take you around the street, on the highway etc.. but till its paid for i wont let you drive it.. sorry I had a supra i sold once and god knows how many kids tried to buy it and just wanted to drive it then was like well i cant afford it.. so no no joy rides.. if you cant show me your serious your not getting in it to drive till its in your name, or you serioulsy convince and show me a bank check/cash that you are serious.. sorry thats just the rules...
PS.. I am not intrested in trades... I want the good ole dollar bill for this car, and not a civic and wheels and cash, nothing of that sort... I have other cars so none of that BS about winter and you will trade me a 4x4 to drive cause its better in winter.. If you read this far i think you can read above i dont drive it in weather so its obvious I already have a 4x4 i daily drive year round if im not in the m3... so no i dont need another car, or anything else..
Buyer will pick up the car, and if you are flying in to drive it home, i can arrange to get you from the airport, then to the bank to grab the title, and you can then drive it home or load on t trailer, or whatever... Or I can arrange with your shipping company to pick it up for delivery.. whatever you choose.. enjoy!!
******To note if buyer wants I have agentcy headers, resonated midpipe, and exhaust system for this car I just never installed.. If buyer would want these also I will let them go for 2000.00 extra the exhaust and midpipe alone sell for that new, the header is around 1100 dollars by itself new.. and my stuff has never been used or installed.... But these items are not included with the sale of this auction but can be added if the buyer wishes to purchase them from me upon pickup of car.. email/contact me and I can provide photos of them all..

No surprise here: In Europe, the Porsche 911 is the most sought-after classic car. Surprise here: Slip-streaming the 911 in the most sought-after chart compiled by the Car & Classic marketplace is the Ford Mustang. Using the Google search engine as a means to pick the winners, as well as the average prices achieved on the “Car and Classic” website, the venerable 911 was tagged 1.45 million times per month according to data stretching back 15 years. The number of 911Â’s sold though the C&C marketplace was 21,141, at an average price of 58,409 pounds, or $74,300. FordÂ’s pony car, still a popular choice for buyers in Europe, placed second on the list with 1.2 million monthly searches. The average sales price over 15 years was 31,107 pounds ($39,570), and the number of older Mustangs sold reached a total of 8,332. Models that also finished among the charted top 10 include the Land Rover Range Rover, the Corvette, the ultra-classic British favorite Jaguar E-Type and the BMW 3 Series. “Whilst a 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS could set you back the best part of GBP500,000 ($636,000), there are many more affordable models, which bring the average sale price of a 911 on Car & Classic to GBP58,000 ($73,800) – the third highest average selling price of any make and model on the site,” explained Dale Vinten of Car & Classic. According to the site, the Jaguar fetched the highest average selling price: a whopping 89,000 pounds, or $113,000. But thatÂ’s peanuts compared to a Series 1 Roadster in excellent condition, said Vinten. For that, “you can expect to spend up to GBP250,000 ($318,000), A Series 2 or 3 will cost less, as they are not as desirable, but in decent condition you can expect to pay around GBP40,000-GBP50,000. Even a barn find 1969 E-Type Series 2 Roadster can set you back to the tune of GBP33,000 ($42,000)." Launched in 2005, Car & Classic is among EuropeÂ’s most popular classic car clearinghouses. It also runs a stand-alone auction site.

The people behind Motorhead Magazine in Japan clearly have some friends in high places. Not only did they manage to shutdown eight kilometers of the Mazda Turnpike up the Hakone mountain, but they invited some of the country's premiere racers to take a drive up the hill. This wasn't just a Sunday cruise either. Featuring a BMW Z4 from the Super GT series, a classic Ford GT40, two flavors of Nissan GT-R and two takes on the Subaru Impreza WRX STI, these guys came ready to run. When an opportunity to let racecars challenge a curvy mountain road presents itself, you don't squander it. Thankfully, the folks at Motorhead knew that and outfitted the course with a plethora of cameras and high-quality sound equipment to capture the action. The result is nothing short of sublime. Take the video's urging to turn up your speakers for this one, and watch as these racers hit ludicrous speeds in a beautiful place never meant for them.

Forgive us for having the distinct feeling of déjà vu, but it certainly feels like we've been here before. By that we are referring Car and Driver and the announcement of its annual 10Best vehicles for 2013. To be sure, it's an impressive selection of cars that combine heart-pounding performance and frugal sensibilities, but it also represents something of a broken record on the part of C/D. We're not so sure that's a flaw, though, as the resulting list is tough to argue with.
Vehicles like the Ford Mustang, Porsche Boxster, and BMW 3 Series have maintained their high-horsepower spots on this list for several years now. Even on the more practical and nimble end, the Honda Accord, Honda Fit and Mazda Miata have not budged. These continued spots are even in light of redesigns for some vehicles such as the Accord, Boxster and 3 Series.
In fact, the only newcomer to the 10Best list this year are the Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ twins, which knocked out the Cadillac CTS-V. We think it would have been a huge misstep to have excluded the FR-S/BRZ, even in light of the supercharged Caddy's lamentable departure from 10Best.
