Clean Title, Heavily Modified and Finely Tuned. I have the CARFAX also. To answer the first question on everyone's mind, I am posting this because it is becoming impractical for me and my family to have it. My family is growing, I need a four door vehicle or a house with more garage space. Since the later is less realistic for me, the car can be replaced for something the whole family can use. This car has been a joy to build and use. I've owned it for about 6 years and have clocked less than 6,000 miles per year on it. It has been babied. Any little tick or sound has been remedied and fixed about the moment I notice it. I have documents and receipts totalling over $27,000 in repairs and modifications not including what I paid to buy the car. I'm sure there are several hundreds of dollars more I don't have receipts for repairs and modifications. Repairs were to replace worn out parts, like the alternator and water pump, and modifications are a plenty. I bought this car from my best friend who needed the money at the time. Besides the engine swap, I did the rest of the modifications. The only thing that is left original on this car, basically, is the drivetrain and disc brakes.
Here is a list of the changes made to this car from stock:

3.0 motor replaced with a new 3.2 liter motor at 111,246 miles

There are most likely parts i've missed listing, but the major stuff is there. I have tons of extra parts too. The A/C blows cold and everything works. I have a sub-box and amp in the trunk too. The little computer in the center console had some pixels not working so I just unplugged it. From what you could read, it worked just fine, it just annoyed me. There are some paint blemishes on the front from regular driving on the crappy Utah roads, tiny rocks and stuff are unforgiving. There is also a crack in the LF headlight casing and bumper cover in the center area. There are minor scratches here and there, but barely noticable. I tried taking pictures of them, but they just don't show up well enough, that is how minor they are.
This baby dynoed at 302 rear wheel horsepower at 6 psi of boost. I'm sure if you drove it down to sea level it would dyno around 375 rear wheel horsepower and be pushing around 9 psi. I have a group of friends with a similar setup on their M3's and they are at sea level and that is what their power and boost levels are at. She is a sleeper for sure. I pass the emissions tailpipe sniffer and inpection every year with flying colors. This car is fully street legal and safe with a CLEAN title. I drove it to work and back for the last 6 years which is why you will only see about 5-6,000 miles per year on it. My bride hates driving the clutch and we hate packing the family in the smallness of it when we take it out. Like I said before, it is impractical for me and my family.
I am looking for the right buyer. I have it listed locally (and reserve the right to end the listing early).
The car is genuinely for sale and I am not up a creek if it doesn't sell so, please, no low ball offers and if you come to see it, no joy rides. I respectfully ask for serious interest only. Obviously nobody can buy this car with a conventional auto loan, you'll need more than that. Thank you for reading this far. Please email me with ANY questions before you bid or offer. I will be happy to talk over the phone too, just email me if you're interested. The car is sold AS-IS with no warranty expressed or implied. I'll only accept cash or a cashiers check from a reputable bank or credit union. Once payment has cleared I will give up possession of the car.

Takata adds millions to recall expansion in US [UPDATE]
Thu, May 28 2015UPDATE: Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker has advised Autoblog that of the 1,509,535 total vehicles worldwide that the company is recalling, 966,504 of them are new additions for this expanded safety campaign. Last week, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced that the Takata airbag inflator recalls would expand to an estimated 33.8 million vehicles in the US. However at the time, automakers weren't sure specifically which of their models might be affected under this enlarged campaign. Now, the numbers for BMW, FCA, Ford, and Mitsubishi are being released by the agency. Additionally, Honda is outlining the broadening of its own campaign. BMW's recall amounts to 420,661 vehicles in the US, an increase from 140,696 previously. All of the following models need their front, driver's side airbag replaced: 2002-2005 BMW 325i/325xi/330i/330xi Sedan 2002-2005 BMW 325xi/325i Sportswagon 2002-2006 BMW 330Ci/325Ci/M3 Convertible 2002-2006 BMW 325i/330i/M3 Coupe 2002-2003 BMW M5/540i/525i/530i Sedan 2002-2003 BMW 540i/525i Sportswagon 2003-2004 BMW X5 3.0i/4.4i BMW has received no reports of any injures or deaths from this problem in its vehicles. FCA has 5,224,845 vehicles globally in need of inflator replacements, according to its statement. However, the company is only aware of one injury related to the issue, which occurred in a 2006 Dodge Charger in southern Florida. There are 4,747,202 vehicles worldwide from the company that are affected on the front, driver's side. Among these, 4,066,732 are in the US, 374,508 are in Canada, and the rest are in other countries. The models are: 2005-2009 Dodge Ram 2500 Pickup 2004-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 Pickup 2006-2009 Dodge Ram 3500 Pickup 2007-2009 Dodge Ram 3500 Cab Chassis 2008-2010 Dodge Ram 4500/5500 Cab Chassis 2008-2009 Sterling 4500/5500 Cab Chassis 2004-2008 Dodge Durango 2007-2008 Chrysler Aspen 2005-2010 Chrysler 300/300C/SRT8 2005-2010 Dodge Charger/Magnum 2005-2011 Dodge Dakota 2006-2010 Mitsubishi Raider Also, there are 438,156 vehicles in the US, according to the NHTSA documents, that need their front passenger's side inflators replaced in the expansion of an earlier regional recall: 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 2003 Dodge Ram 3500 The total number of vehicles from Ford now covered under these campaigns stands at 1,509,535 worldwide. Of this total, there are 1,380,604 in the United States, 93,207 in Canada and 16,953 in Mexico.
BMW wants to expand DriveNow carsharing program to 25 new cities
Wed, Mar 12 2014Daimler's Car2go car-sharing service just announced that it will debut in Rome, its 26th global city. Now, BMW says it wants to expand its own carsharing program to, wait for it, 25 more cities. Coincidence? We think not. BMW is looking to bring its DriveNow carsharing program, with its Mini Coopers and 1 Series, to as many as 15 new cities in Europe as well as 10 in the US, Bloomberg News says, citing comments BMW executive Peter Schwarzenbauer made at the Geneva Motor Show last week. The service is now operational in Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Munich, Dusseldorf and San Francisco and serves about a quarter-million people. Of course, it's that last city, where DriveNow started operations in August 2012, that's been somewhat problematic. San Francisco has tough guidelines when it comes to where the cars can be parked, with so few public parking areas to choose from. DriveNow charges $39 for membership in San Francisco, then $12 for the first half hour of driving and 32 cents for each additional minute. DriveNow competes directly against Car2go, which charges around $25 to become a member and then 41 cents a minute to rent a Smart ForTwo.
BMW unveils 2016 X5 M and X6 M super CUVs
Wed, 29 Oct 2014The second-generation BMW X5 M and X6 M have officially made their arrival for the speed-obsessed, crossover-loving masses that aren't willing to turn to Mercedes-AMG or Land Rover Special Operations.
While the new models retain their 4.4-liter, twin-turbocharged V8s, power has increased from 555 horsepower to 567 ponies. Torque is up more significantly, climbing from 500 pound-feet to 553 pound-feet. The extra twist is slightly less accessible, with peak grunt arriving between 2,200 and 5,000 rpm, rather than the earlier model's 1,500 to 5,650. Still, we'll take the ten percent increase in torque as a net win.
The big powertrain switch sees the old X5/6 M's six-speed automatic replaced with an eight-speed Steptronic transmission from BMW M. This new gearbox feeds power to an xDrive all-wheel-drive system that can variably shuffle up to 100 percent of power to either axle. In conjunction with the force-induced thumper under the hood, this powertrain arrangement allows both M models to hit 60 miles per hour in just four seconds. That's a mightily impressive stat in a 5,000-plus-pound vehicle.
