Gorgeous 2002 Bmw E46 M3 With Many Tasteful Upgrades! Not Driven In Winter! on 2040-cars
Brookfield, Wisconsin, United States
Hello all. Thanks for the interest in my M3. I purchased this M3 almost a year ago exactly. I purchased it with the intension of it being a fun summer car. I knew full well that it would not be driven in the winter because I had a Toyota Landcruiser for that part of the year. I enjoyed it greatly for the warmer months and put it away before the first snow last fall. My current though is to attempt to consolidate down to one car and purchase a BMW 335xi. I thought I would attempt to sell the M3 with this plan in mind. Please note that I am not in a hurry to sell. In fact, I love this car. If I end up keeping it for another year, I will do so gladly. Therefore, please don’t send me any lowball offers. I know how hard it is to find a well maintained E46 M3 6-speed, especially one with all of these nice upgrades (it took me about a year to find this car). In addition, this car is not wintered! No salt and muck. I kept it in the garage under car cover up on jack stands all winter long! I have just been waiting for all of the salt and snow to be off the roads before I take it back out. The buyer should know that this is a very well maintained car, and I
have a two inch thick folder full of receipts for the car totaling over $15,000
in repairs and maintenance! Some very high dollar fixes / replacements have
been completed including a NEW BMW transmission and clutch done about 2.5 years
ago to the tune of $7,500. Apparently some of the syncros had started to
complain a bit, so the previous owner had a factory replacement transmission
installed, and then sold the car… bad for him. Great for me (and you). All of
the normal BMW M3 issues have already been addressed. Wheel bearings, bushings,
etc all upgraded and/or done. Bilstein coil-overs CSL front bumper CSL rear spoiler CSL Diffuser BMW 330d short throw shifter Powercoated black 19"s with NEW Conti DW Tires Magnaflow catback stainless steel exhaust - sounds awesome! AFE intake New Stoptek Slotted rotors with red calipers and Hawk pads Angel eyes Other really cool add-ons : Dice Ipod hook up in glove box ZHP Alcantara steering wheel ZHP Alcantara shifter boot with ZHP knob Carbon fiber Dinoc trim Carbon fiber side gills Black Kidney grills Professionally Tinted windows Some additional items within the last year: New rear trailing arm bushings and alignment New differential pinion and output shaft seals New thermostat and Coolant flush Please forgive the somewhat random photos. I still have the car in storage and just pulled these together from my phone pics. Please feel free to Call or text with questions 4I4-587-I789 or email:

12 best hybrid SUVs for 2022
Tue, Jun 15 2021If you're searching for the best hybrid SUV, the truth is there actually aren't that many choices. While there's an endless sea of those powered solely by gasoline, those that add batteries and superior fuel economy to the mix are few and far between. The very good news, however, is that the choices you have are actually excellent. The top-selling and top-rated Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 are not only available as hybrids, for instance, but are actually at their most appealing as hybrids. Luxury hybrid SUVs are a different story. While Lexus offers each of its crossover SUVs as a conventional hybrid, those of other brands are by and large plug-in hybrids that provide a relatively brief amount of all-electric propulsion, superior fuel economy and higher prices that are somewhat countered by EV tax rebates. We include both conventional hybrids and plug-in hybrids in the below list of best hybrid SUVs. All are listed alphabetically within each category. Best small hybrid SUVs  |  Best midsize hybrid SUVs Best luxury hybrid SUVs  |  Best luxury plug-in hybrid SUVs Best small hybrid SUVs Honda CR-V Hybrid Why it stands out: Best-in-class back seat space; hybrid's distinctive EV-like power delivery; middle lower LATCH anchorCould be better: Antiquated and glitchy tech interface; a bit dull Hybrid fuel economy: 38 mpg combined (AWD only) Read our 2022 Honda CR-V Review Consider the CR-V the baseline for any compact SUV search. Objectively speaking, it's tough to beat due to its massive cargo capacity, voluminous back seat, well-balanced driving dynamics, competitive pricing and features, strong safety ratings and well-regarded reliability. In terms of its hybridness, we like that Honda's distinctive hybrid system sees most of its propulsion handled by the electric motor (the engine rarely powers the wheels directly), resulting in a more EV-like, torque-rich power delivery and a less obtrusive gas engine. For the vast majority of compact SUV buyers, and especially families, the CR-V Hybrid checks every box.  Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Why it stands out: Beautiful interior; excellent infotainment and safety technology; traditional automatic transmissionCould be better: No spare tire; styling a tad outrageous Hybrid fuel economy: 37-38 mpg combined (AWD only) Plug-in hybrid electric range: 33 miles Plug-in hybrid fuel economy: 80 MPGe Read our 2022 Hyundai Tucson Review The Tucson is the new kid in town and it's made quite an entrance.
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

BMW i8 Concours d'Elegance Edition is so cool it's Frozen
Fri, 15 Aug 2014The new, one-of-a-kind BMW i8 Concours d'Elegance Edition made a ritzy debut last night at BMW's private villa, giving the media its first chance to look at the ultra-exclusive hybrid.
As we said in our previous post, the most notable feature of the Concours d'Elegance i8 is its matte grey paint, known as Frozen Grey Metallic in BMW parlance. This isn't the first time we've seen this shade on an exclusive BMW, as it was last used for the Frozen Grey M3 from 2010.
Contrasting quite nicely with the i8's flat paint are its blue and white accents, and its Dalbergia Brown leather upholstery. Blue contrast stitching complements the interior aesthetic, as do the embossed BMW roundels in the headrests.
