Supercharged 2002 Bmw M3 E46, Track Ready Race Car, Headers Race Exhst, 4.1 Diff on 2040-cars
Houston, Texas, United States
Supercharged E46 M3.
I am sad to sell my midnight blue M3. This car has undergone several track specific upgrades since i bought it 2 years ago when it was in stock condition. I fitten the ESS stage 1 supercharger 6 months ago. It makes 445hp at the crank, 385 at the wheels!!!! Other track upgrades include: A 4.1 BMW racing differential, really tightening the gear ratios for track. A full stainless exhaust system from headers back, which sounds incredible! (I have the stock muffler if it is too loud). A light flywheel & racing clutch system. An upgraded suspension kit (KW v2) with front and rear coilovers, camber plates and H&R sway bars, lowering the car 30mm and making it corner extremely well. Brake rotors have been updgraded to vented rotors. I have 2 sets of brake pads (street / track) Street pads (Hawk) are track rated anyway, and the track pads (performance friction) are incredible. They have had 2 days use and cost $500, but are too squeaky for the street. I currently have Federal SS winter tires fitted for my daily commute. However, I also have a set of 4 Hankook RS3s for the track costing $1200 last fall. They have had 3 days use. The car has been maintained by a BMW specialist mechanic and had routine brake fluid and oil changes after every track event. In the last 6 months I have had all 6 coils and spark plugs replaced. Also as preventative maintenance for the drivetrain, I had the rod bearings, center support bearing and guibo replaced. I have all receipts over the last 2 years. This car's mechanics are like new and is ready to race!! You are welcome to have it inspected by anyone. |

BMW 7 Series could get M variant alongside Alpina B7
Tue, Jun 23 2015BMW is launching the new 7 Series with a limited engine lineup, but according to Car and Driver, there are more powerful versions on the way – including a potential M Performance model. The new 7 Series is initially being offered with a 320-horsepower turbo six and a 445-hp twin-turbo V8. European customers will also be able to spec a 261-hp diesel or a 320-hp hybrid. There's an M Sport package available as well with enhanced visual cues, but that won't be the extent of the performance choices when all is said and done. Expect a new 760i that will pack BMW's twin-turbo V12, and a new Alpina B7 to feature a more powerful twin-turbo V8 with around 600 horsepower. In parallel to the Alpina, however, C/D reports that an M Performance model could finally be in the works, which would ostensibly offer BMW the opportunity to go after the likes of the Audi S8, Jaguar XJR, and Mercedes S63 AMG, without changing tacks too drastically over the resolute position it's taken in the past against creating a full-on M7. C/D reports that there are more powerful diesels joining the lineup in the future, but those aren't likely to make their way to US showrooms anytime soon.
BMW i8 will be first production car to use Gorilla Glass
Wed, 07 Aug 2013What do smartphones and the BMW i8 have in common? Glass. Scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass, that is. The i8 will be the first production car to use the chemically hardened material, which is more durable, lighter and provides more sound deadening than conventional laminated automotive glass. We thought it would be a natural replacement for windshields, but, according to Autoweek, BMW said it will be used for the rear window for sound deadening purposes. The Gorilla Glass will still be laminated, with two 0.7mm thick layers of it sandwiching an acoustic sheet, reports Autoevolution.
BMW reportedly claims the i8 will weigh less than 3,285 pounds, and to offset the heavy hybrid powertrain to reach that goal the automaker has implemented lightweight materials normally not found in mass-production automobiles. With a carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) monocoque used for both the (relatively) pedestrian i3 and the upscale i8, it's not surprising BMW was also the first to jump onto Gorilla Glass, especially given the timing of a report that a high-end automaker would introduce it within the year.
Be sure to check out our First Drive review of the i8 to see if BMW's newest sports car is living up to the hype.
Cafe racer motorbikes storm Japan
Fri, 22 Nov 2013Japan may be best known, at least among motorcycle enthusiasts, for its sport bikes. But as we found at the Tokyo Motor Show this year, Japanese motorcycle manufacturers are capable of producing all kinds of motorbikes. And to our delight, that includes cafe racers.
Along with the myriad electric bikes, dirt bikes, crotch rockets and scooters, the halls of Tokyo's Big Site convention center this year were full of the retro-infused rides we love. Chief among them was the Bolt (shown above) which Yamaha exhibited alongside their various electric two-wheelers, sporting a delicious metallic blue paintjob, inverted handlebars and hanging mirrors, machined metal bits, blacked-out trim and saddle brown leatherwork.
Honda was also on hand with a new EX version of its '70s-style CB1100 retro roadster in sinister and low-key matte black. And this was our first chance to check out BMW Motorrad's new birthday present to its 90-year-old self, the R NineT, a model recently unveiled at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan. But one of the most amusing retro rides we came across was the Honda Monkey Limited, a mini bike that makes the new 125cc Grom (which was displayed alongside it) look positively gigantic.
