This is a 2006 M3 Coupe ZCP (competition package), SMG transmission (the hydraulic pump has been replaced), interlagos blue and black leather interior. It has 119,000 miles on it…most of them are highway miles. The front part of the hood has a clear bra on it and the ENTIRE front bumper has a clear bra on it. If you pull the clear bra off, the paint will be in amazing shape. There are a few scratches on the bottom of the bumper, but besides this the paint is perfect and doesn't have any of the typical stone or rock chips because it has a clear bra on it. It also has a navigation system and 6 disc changer. It still has the books and DVD that came with it when it was purchased. It also has the original-unused IMS (instant mobility system and tire pump). It has newer rear tires, but the front tires will need to be replaced relatively soon. The brakes work VERY well on it and it has the oversized rotors because of the competition package. The transmission shifts great and the engine run The coveted competition pack includes -Cross-drilled brake rotors (enlarged to 13.7 inches in front) with two-piece compound rotors (aluminum hat and outer portion connected by steel pins) -Steering ratio reduced to 14.5:1 -M Track Mode setting for Dynamic Stability Control (raises—but does not eliminate—the threshold at which the DSC intervenes) -19-inch cross-spoke alloy wheels (8x19-inch front, 9.5x19-inch rear) -Alcantara-wrapped M three-spoke steering wheel with M Track Mode activation button (audio and cruise control buttons deleted) -Specific aluminum interior trim with milled effect -Exclusive Interlagos Blue metallic (A30) paint option that was only allowed for the competition package Motor Trend did a review on this package, it was in their May issue from 2005 and titled "First Test: 2005 BMW M3 Competition Package" It won't let me post the link, but you can view the article of you google that article or if you go to motortrend dot com/roadtests/sedans/112_0505_2005_bmw_m3_competition/viewall.html I'm selling this because I'm going to use the money to fund part of a business that I'm starting up and I would like some extra cash. So I'm not desperate to sell it, but I'm also not trying to get every last dollar out of it. I'm a BMW enthusiast and know it's not the easiest finding E46 M3 with the SMG transmission, Competition package, Interlagos Blue and black interior with a clean title....but I know it's not impossible to find another one (probably with lower miles). With that said, I am interested in a Lotus Elise or Exige and I would be interested in trading for one, but if a trade comes up I would really prefer not to be putting any money down. I do have it for sale locally, so if I get an offer locally I reserve the right to end the auction early. |

BMW i8 pitted against M4 in sibling rivalry track battle
Wed, Jan 7 2015We recently watched Auto Bild challenge the BMW i8 against the M4 in a German drag race of decide the quicker of the inter-brand rivals. The hybrid took a commanding victory in that fight. However, Autocar now has a new battle for the two coupes. The siblings are together again on the Castle Combe Circuit to find out which of them offers the more enjoyable experience at the track. Unfortunately, we don't ever get a perfect point of comparison in the video because host Steve Sutcliffe never does a full lap in anger with either of them to set a time. Instead, he focuses more on how the BMWs feel behind the wheel. Sutcliffe also admits midway through the clip that the i8's electric motor is out of juice to power the front axle's electric motor. That only leaves the hybrid with its 228-horsepower and 236-pound-feet-of-torque turbocharged three-cylinder to spin the rear wheels. Still, Sutcliffe spends ample time explaining the benefits and downfalls of driving these coupes. See where his opinion falls between the M4 as the traditional German sports coupe and the i8 as the new-school hybrid in the video, above.
BMW X4 M40i spotted testing in Germany
Mon, 04 Aug 2014The stream of segment-busting BMW variants is showing no signs of letting up, and with the latest addition now upon us, questions have been circulating as to whether the Bavarian automaker would do an M version of the new X4 crossover. The jury may still be out on that proposition, but the latest intel suggests that, while a full-on X4 M may not be in the cards, a next-best-thing X4 M40i is in the works. And that appears to be what we're looking at in this fresh batch of spy shots.
Spotted for the first time undergoing testing in Germany, this X4 is tipped to be the next addition to the M Performance line that's already given us near-boiling models like the M135i and M235i on the one hand and the diesel-powered M550d, X5 M50d and X6 M50d on the other. Power in this case is tipped to come from the same 3.0-liter turbo six as the upcoming M2, producing between 360 and 380 horsepower.
Unlike the current top-of-that-specific-line X4 35i, which has two tailpipes on one side, this partially-camouflaged prototype has one pipe protruding from each corner of the rear bumper, but looks like it could easily accommodate twin pipes on both sides. Expect commensurate suspension, brake, rolling stock, aero and trim upgrades to come as part of the package, though they likely won't be quite as substantial as those applied to the X5 M and X6 M.
BMW Films are on the way back [w/videos]
Mon, 17 Feb 2014The BMW Films series caused a stir in 2001 and 2002 by combining top-quality cinematography, Hollywood names and driving excitement to sell its sporty wares in a whole new way. By arriving five years before YouTube, they ranked as some of the earliest viral videos on the internet. By now, these sorts of films are almost commonplace, but back when BMW hit upon the idea, the idea of brand-integrated short films on the internet was still a novelty. Now, for the first time in over a decade, the German automaker is planning on bringing back BMW Films for a new season.
Trudy Hardy, BMW North America Vice President of Marketing, announced the series' return at the 2014 Automotive News World Congress in Detroit, according to Ad Age. However, neither the German brand nor Anonymous Content, the original production company, have been willing to comment further on when the new videos are coming.
The original series of eight films starred Clive Owen as the Driver (back then, Owen was largely unknown to American audiences), a mercenary who would take a variety of jobs and always drive a BMW. David Fincher executive produced the first season and directors included top names like John Frankenheimer, Ang Lee and Guy Ritchie. All of the second season movies had Owen driving a Z4, but in our estimation, the quality had fallen off a bit compared to the outstanding first season.
