2002 Bmw M Roadster, Laguna Seca, 18,500 Miles!!!, Rare, Fast, Fun on 2040-cars

Year:2002 Mileage:18900
Location:

Clarkston, Georgia, United States

To all that saw this car listed previously, my apologies for the delay and I appreciate your patience.

This is my 2002 BMW M Roadster with only 18,900 miles.  The car is Laguna Seca Blue with a black and grey leather interior. Add-ons / extras include stainless roll bars (originals boxed and included in sale), Dinan front strut bar, NIB floor mats (originals still in car), NIB rear window (original is fine, but the plastic windows do age. You're ahead of the curve with this car), illuminated chrome shift knob (original boxed and included in sale), Dinan Diff. support reinforcement kit (not installed), and Four new Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires mounted on freshly refinished wheels (they look awesome!), Hamann pedals (not installed), custom oil cap, and NIB OE BMW car cover.  Books, tools, spare, pump, two wind blockers (one OEM & one Plexiglas), and original Monroney / window sticker included. 

I am the second owner.  The car was originally owned in Colorado and female driven.  Car has always been garaged until recently and has never been driven in the rain; at least not by me and that is what I was told when I purchased the car.  Due to my house being remodeled and the subsequent lose of my garage space, the car is now temporarily outside.  However, it is double covered (water-proof & breathable Tyvek cover) and padded.  Car looks beautiful!  In my opinion, the stainless roll bars look awesome and give the car a much sportier and true roadster look compared to stock.  However, you will get the originals and swapping them is a very easy task.  The Dinan Differential support kit was not installed on the recommendation of my local Dinan dealer based on how I drive the car.  If you live in the Mountains or plan to drive it hard, have it installed.  The car has been driven less than 1500 miles during the last 2-1/2 years.

This is a very clean car.  Notice the factory paint marks and cosmoline in the pictures (light brown/dull/dirty looking stuff).  That said, I want to be as honest as possible and the car is not perfect.  Being a car with a low nose that spent most of its life in Colorado, it does have some rock chips on the nose.  There are two small scratches by each front "fender" (I will add pictures).  Of more concern would be the passenger side skirt that was scratched in storage (I will add picture).  I took the car to a BMW certified body shop that has a very good reputation here in Atlanta and they will repair it for $300.  They can also repair the chips and scratches, but advised me not to do so.  I also recently found out that the front spoiler has been painted.  The color is a perfect match and was not noticed when I had the car inspected.  At this time, I am not planning to have the side skirt repaired.  Individuals get picky about this sort of work and I'm going to let the new owner do what they want done.  I have priced the car accordingly.  I will give the buyer the printed estimates.  The side bolster on the left of the drivers seat has normal wear.  The rest of the seats look new. This everything I can think of that a potential buyer should know of which I am aware, but feel free to ask any questions.  The car is a great fun, fast, and appreciating ride.

With only around 1600 LHD units produced, I believe these M cars are true modern collectables and the numbers back me up.  Values have been increasing over the past few years.  I can't remember the exact production numbers, but the number of these cars produced in this color combination was in the teens.  At least one of those is believed to have been totaled.  There was an easy way to look this up online, but I can't find the site.

The Roadster will be for sale locally and I reserve the right to end this listing at any time.  Please feel free to ask any questions.  Cars is sold as is, where is.  I am willing to assist in any shipping or inspections.  NO JOY RIDERS.  Before any test drive, you must have valid drivers license, proof of insurance, AND a $500 cash deposit that I will hand back to you after the test drive if nothing bad happens.  SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY.  NO HOLDING. $1000 non-refundable deposit will be due within 24hrs of sale.

Thank you for looking!

Confident new Cadillac marketing boss ready to take on Tesla, BMW

Thu, Jun 26 2014

When there's a former BMW executive heading Cadillac's efforts to boost sales of its only plug-in, it's a pretty safe guess that the marketing emphasis won't be on environmental friendliness and tree-hugging tendencies. The General Motors luxury brand has appointed ex-Bimmer executive Uwe Ellinghaus to be its marketing chief late last year, and the German-born Ellinghaus is now saying that he's targeting potential customers of Tesla Motors, in addition to BMW, for potential growth in sales of the Cadillac ELR extended-range plug-in. Appointed to Cadillac's head of marketing last November, Ellinghaus recently told Advertising Age that GM needs to highlight the Cadillac's looks and performance. He complimented Tesla for putting more emphasis on those attributes in the Model S than on its lack of emissions or lack of refueling costs (but Tesla hasn't shied away from highlighting the EV's savings). Ellinghaus says that trying to gear advertising "for people who are tree-huggers and green-wash an entire brand" won't be successful. You don't say. So far, the ELR hasn't made much of a dent in US car sales. Through May, Cadillac, which spent about $280 million on all of its US marketing last year, sold 293 units, whereas Tesla had been approaching the 11,000-unit figure for the Model S. With that in mind, Cadillac may be working on a sportier version of the ELR, as spy shots of a test vehicle from May revealed larger brakes and wheels. You can read our First Drive impressions of the ELR here.

BMW M5 arrives in Monterey packing 600 hp and matte paint

Fri, 15 Aug 2014

What's a sure-fire way to make a vehicle better? Well, you can add power or make it more exclusive. BMW has done both, just in time to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the legendary M5 sedan.
Only 300 examples of the car you see above, the M5 30th Anniversary Edition, will be sold to the public, and those lucky owners will enjoy the most exclusive, most powerful M5 ever made. Power continues to flow from the standard M5's twin-turbocharged, 4.4-liter V8, which has had its wick turned up to 600 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. The sprint to 60 now happens in just 3.7 seconds, which is still a scarcely fathomable speed among sports cars, let alone comfortable, finely upholstered sedans.
Speaking of that upholstery, Alcantara and leather seats and an Alcantara steering wheel identify the exclusive M5, while special sill plates further call out the car's unique spec. Outside, the standard Competition Package adds 20-inch wheels and black chrome badges, while 30th Anniversary Editions wear BMW's Frozen Dark Silver matte paint.

BMW Concept 90 Motorcycle debuts at Villa d'Este

Fri, 24 May 2013

The Concept 90 is one of two new vehicles BMW is showing off at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este on the tony shores of Lake Como in Italy. This year is the 90th anniversary of BMW Motorrad and the 40th anniversary of the R 90 S (inset) - the first production motorcycle to come with a front fairing - and BMW has worked with custom bike builder Roland Sands Design to craft a homage to the Daytona Orange boxer from the Seventies.
While following the line of its forbearer, obviously the Concept 90 has been sexed and sleeked up. The bodywork is of hand-worked aluminum, the giant halogen lamp of the 1975 model (which is when Daytona Orange was introduced) has gone LED, and the front engine cover, valve covers, exhaust and wheels have been made with a contrast-cut milling process.
For a finer description of the Concept 90 check out the press release below, or skip the words and go straight to the high-res images above.
