Outstanding 2003 E46 M3

I am selling my clean, trouble free, superb condition M3.
This is my daily driver and my 3rd M3. I have taken extreme care of the vehicle and if you can find a cleaner, more tastefully modified E46 M3, I suggest  you by it.
Once or twice a year, I take a car that needs some love and attention, and bring it back to life. This car is done! It needs nothing!
There are absolutely NO trouble codes, subframe, or Vanos issues. The care has never been wrecked. Physician owed before me, it has been cared for and never tracked.
Don't look for any dings or dents because you won't find any.
I am selling the car to move on to my next project , which is a 1988 420 SEL.
I will try to be complete, but may leave something out, so here it goes.

The care is the 3.2 SMG coupe model
101900 miles, but I do drive it.
I have replaced all the external window molding with brand new OEM products. This was simply to bring it back to new looking and to get rid of 10 year old, sun faded rubber.The care has brand new BOSCH OEM wipers and blades
New Hood Cowl
The original kidney grill and side grills were old and chrome and have been replaced with brand new black ones with new badges
The car has brand new RED carbon fiber Roundels inside and out. This includes the wheel center caps.
Replaced gauge rings with RED rings.
Brand new RED leather shift boot and e-brake boot.
( Getting the theme here?)
Carbon fiber dash and door kit
The seats are perfect. No rips or tears. I had the seat professionally reconditioned and colored and immediately placed a cover on the driver side to protect it. You can see in the photos.

I installed a BMW OEM Homelink unit in the headliner, so you dont have to have a cheesy garage door opener pinned to the visor.
The factory radio has been replaced with a Bluetooth unit complete with Navigation and backup camera. It works flawlessly.I installed a 5 port USB port as well for your phone. Cell phone dash mount.
The ugly SMG shift knob has been replaced with an illuminated knob I took from a 2011 M3. It glows RED and looks awesome at night.

Now the outside

No dents
The car comes with Koalty Carbon fiber front lip
Carbon fiber roof spoiler
Carbon fiber trunk spoiler
and Carbon fiber PTM rear diffuser.

The exhaust is an ALL Stainless Steal Corsa catback($1600, check it if you dont believe me), and sounds awesome.
The wheels are $2500 CCWs with big Brand new(about 250 miles) 11 inch Hankook Ventus, 285/30/19s in the rear.
Big 14 inch Sportech cross drilled rotors all around with HAWK pads.
I replace the factory springs with HR 1 inch drop sport springs to give it a better stance and more control.
Xenon headlights

Again, in order to refresh the car, I replaced the headlight lenses with brand new crystal clear ones.
Brand new Yellow halogen fog lights.
Tinted rear tail lights.
Car has 20% window tint all around.

The Engine

No issues
Brand new Bosch coils
New NGK plugs
AFE Cold Air Intake
OIL, only replaced with Blue Molly 10W-60

I probably have forgotten something, but as you can see, the car is complete and a head turner.

OK, now the sale...
Do not bid if you are not serious
Bidding from ZERO feedback bidders need to contact me first.
I will require a $500 nonrefundable deposit w/i 48 hours of the sale. This is to discourage deadbeats.
The remainder is due w/i 7 days.
I will cancel and relist the car if these terms are not met.
You can pick the car up or have it shipped, but the buyer is responsible for all costs and arrangements.

Ask any questions about the car, and I will do my best to answer.
I am a physician and fairly busy but will get back to you.

THE RADAR DETECTOR IS NOT INCLUDED
I have additional photos that I am happy to email you.

Good Luck

BMW i8 wins 2015 Car Of The Year award in UK

Sat, Feb 28 2015

Those Brits sure do like those Bimmers, don't they? The BMW i8 plug-in hybrid was recently awarded UK Car of the Year from a group of more than two-dozen British automotive journalists, UK's Telegraph reported. Last year's winner of the first-ever such award? The BMW i3 electric vehicle. The i8 was feted for its combination of performance, styling and fuel efficiency. The car pairs a three-cylinder gas engine with a 96-horsepower electric motor and can go from 0-60 miles per hour in just over four seconds while having a fuel-economy rating of 76 MPGe. Last November, the i8 was given Autoblog's 2014 Technology of the Year award and the 2015 Luxury Green Car of the Year by Green Car Journal, so the British journalists are not alone in their sleek PHEV love. "This is a truly great honor for BMW's visionary car and proof that sustainable mobility can be beautiful and fun," BMW spokesman Kenn Sparks told AutoblogGreen. Other winners for individual categories from the UK this year included the Rolls-Royce Ghost (which won for Best Luxury Car), Ford Mondeo (Best Family Car) and Renault Twingo (Best City Car).

Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
