For sale is my 2003 BMW M3 with the SMG transmission.   Its very good condition and been well maintained.. I am the past 3 owners which you would see on carfax.. Let me explain  I purchased this car years ago, then went to get a divorce so I sold it for the moment to my father, whom after the divorce sold it back to me. So as you can see I technically owned it the whole time but I wasnt going to let her try and take my cars from me..  I am selling only cause I have had it for a long time and im ready to move on and buy a srt8 jeep.

 

Car 2 years ago around 8K miles ago had the clutch, flywheel, and SMG pump replaced at kimberly BMW in Davenport iowa..  While there for that, it had inspection 2 completed, new plugs, coils, waterpump, vanos check, valves checked, fuel filter etc..  I also heard the fears of subframe problems so I had them look for cracks and replace the differential and subframe bushings which at the time was part of a recall.   They also reenfoced the frame too somehow not sure how but they did.. I have never had a problem and its now new anyways..

Last year I had the body shop paint the car Dupont Hot Rod Black (matte) paint, and then trim it out in carbon fiber.. The front CSL diffuser is carbon, the rear diffuser is carbon, the roof is simplated carbon with the moonroof, and the hood is a siebon carbon GTR hood which is painted matte to match the car but left the grill and vents carbon.. It looks very sharp!!    Car also has 19" BMW CSL wheels in black with new tires as of 2 years ago so around 8k miles on them, so i would estimate 75-80% tred life is left on them.. exterior is 9/10 shape.

 

Interior is in great shape but not OEM either.. Most is however leather is in good shape and I have conditioned it and cleaned it once a year. the floor mats are oem.. the dash is overlayed with carbon fiber, and the radio is now a sony USB cd player so I can use my Ipod..  The speakers are now Alpine type r 6.5" component sets powered by a small 4 channel amp in the trunk.. Sounds very good and doesnt look out of place..    Other than that and 35% window tint the interior is OEM...   7/10 condition mostly cause its not all OEM stuff.   The rear view mirror is cracked also. My nephew show it with a bb gun years back.. not joking.. But its what happened.. I took a photo to show you as its not noticable but it is there and i want to be honest with the buyer..

 

Driveline and engine is like i said uptodate always got 10w60 oil and I will include a gallon of it with new oil filter and a fuel filter with purchase to prove what oil is used and has been used by me.. Car is bone stock performance wise and is OEM.. Only thing not stock is the differential which now has 3.91 gears in it which was installed by a shop in chicago.. it by far is the best mod these cars can get!! its a much quicker car now!!  the gears are OEM BMW and its been done for near 3 years now.. have never had an issue..  9/10 diveline condition.

 

Car will come with dr beasleys wash and sealant for the matte paint care, so please dont wax the paint.. use this sealant only it keeps it dull but protects it and it smells great.. keeping the car clean is as easy as a car was wash and rinse then towl dry.. thats it... nothing else needed.. its very easy and looks amazing!!!

Car had 6000k HID headlights and fog lights that are very bright!!!  Xenon or whatever you call them.. its loaded minus the navigation system.

 

I have a loan out on the car so buyer will need to go to the bank with me to release the title but no problem at all.. I listed the car at 97000 miles but is actually under it, but i daily drive this car sometimes right now and by the time the buyer would pick it up chances are it will be a hair over 97000 miles.. so just letting you know.. Its a great car and I have no doubts driving this car anywhere or on a road trip its tip top.. great shape.. and like i said i drive this car often so it should prove to my word that its in good shape..   any questions please ask me and i will answer..

My ebay account is new but its only made to sell this car.. it is what I say it is, and you the buyer will see it in person with a title so you know its no issue.. car is located in davenport iowa..

Lots of new cars were unveiled in Munich this week. Here's what you might've missed

Thu, Sep 9 2021

The 2021 Munich Auto Show is happening this week and due to ongoing corporate travel restrictions, we remained firmly planted on this continent. So, although we can't tell you exactly what it's like inside the futuristic new Mercedes EQE electric sedan or fully appreciate the funky Volkswagen ID.Life concept, there's no shortage of details and analysis to provide.  Obviously, as Germany's premier auto show in 2021, the cars unveiled were primarily from the German brands. We also focused mostly on the cars that might actually make their way to the United States, or at least inspire those that will.   2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE is an electric alternative to the E-Class While the EQS paved the way for Mercedes' electrified future, much like the S-Class before it, the EQE stands to be the car that will move in far greater numbers -- much like the E-Class before it. Mercedes-Benz EQE 350 View 12 Photos   Mercedes-Maybach EQS Concept shows SUV future of the flagship brand Opulence will still have a place in an electrified future, as Maybach gets into the EQ game with a grand electric SUV. Mercedes-Maybach EQS Concept View 4 Photos   Volkswagen ID.Life concept previews the city car's high-riding EV future Well, isn't this adorable? Though perhaps a tad derivative of the Honda E, Volkswagen's blocky little crossover EV nevertheless represents a handsome new direction for VW design. We like this better than the rounded looks of the current ID.3 and ID.4.  2021 Volkswagen ID.Life concept View 20 Photos   BMW i Vision Circular is a 100% recycled and recyclable hatch Behold, the next BMW 3 Series! Just kidding. Besides this, BMW displayed cars in person for the first time that it had previously only unveiled on the interwebs, including the new 2 Series and revised iX3. It also unveiled some bikes. BMW i Vision Circular Concept View 63 Photos   Audi's GrandSphere concept was designed as a road-going private jet Does Audi know what a sphere is? Cause this isn't anything like one. Still, it's quite a handsome thing, and as one of three Sphere-branded concepts, previews the next direction of Audi design (which is pleasantly reminiscent of two-decade-old Mazda design). No complaints here. 2021 Audi GrandSphere concept View 26 Photos   Porsche Mission R is a 1,000-horsepower electric monster Just like the Mission E previewed the Taycan, this apparently previews another future car.

BMW M135i vs. Mercedes A45 AMG in Euro small-lux throwdown

Fri, 19 Jul 2013

BMW and Mercedes-Benz - please, please, please bring the M135i and A45 AMG hatchbacks to North America. For as long as we can remember, buyers in the New World have been forced to look longingly at Europe and Great Britain and the excellent super hatches that are so routinely offered there. And while we're quite content with the Ford Focus ST and Volkswagen GTI, having a 360-horse five-door with a premium, content-rich interior sounds quite nice.
Our envy for Europe has grown after watching the latest video from Drive, which stars Chris Harris, the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG and the BMW M135i. This latest battle between MB and BMW takes place on both road and track, with Harris providing a running commentary. If you're interested in the upcoming Mercedes CLA45 AMG, you should pay special attention to the section on the A45, as the two are essentially fraternal twins. While the video is a bit on the long side, it provides a comprehensive rundown of both cars, giving those of us in North America just a small taste of what we're missing.
