Just in time for summer...

You are bidding on a 2002 BMW M3 Convertible.  Experience open air, sports car performance in a four-passenger car you can drive every day.  The 3.2L inline six-cylinder engine generates 333 hp, has an 8000 RPM redline and a 0-60 time of 5.4 seconds! Combine this with phenomenal handling and braking and you have the complete package for a true driver's car.

You are purchasing this car from its original owner, who ordered it to his specifications from BMW Seattle in 2002.  It has been garaged since new in a smoke-free environment and has never been smoked in or even driven by a smoker.  No pets have ever ridden in this car.  The fully-automatic power top works excellently and has never leaked.  This car is all original and can be enjoyed as is or customized to suit your tastes.

This car is equipped with a Formula One-derived Sequential Manual Gearbox (SMG). SMG is a real manual transmission with a hydraulically-actuated clutch in place of the clutch pedal. It gives you lightning-fast shifts from steering wheel-mounted paddles or the console-mounted shifter, while being easy to drive around town or in stop-and-go traffic.

This car is finished in a rare and stunning color combination of a Titanium Silver exterior and Black roof with an Imola Red and Black interior that is a constant source of compliments.  It comes with a full complement of standard features including BMW M suspension and rear differential, automatic climate control, and rollover protection. It is well optioned, including Harmon-Kardon premium sound, xenon headlights with light sensor, rain-sensing wipers, rear parking sensors, and rear side airbags.  In addition to the factory options, the car has a 3M Clear Bra that was installed when the car was new and comes with a genuine BMW wind blocker ($500 if purchased new).  iPod connectivity was added in late 2011, though the iPod plug is currently damaged and needs to be repaired. The standard 18" wheels are wearing Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus ultra-high performance all-season tires; the rear tires have less than 14K miles on them and the front tires have 10K miles.

The car has been serviced regularly since new only at authorized BMW dealers and an independent shop that specializes in BMWs.  Detailed service records are available upon request.

The car comes with its original keys and full set of manuals, the original Monroney (window) sticker, and even the original brochures.  You will not find a nicer specimen of this model!

I love this car and still drive it regularly, but have to make room in my garage for a new car that's on the way.

Please contact me if you have other questions or would like to see additional photos of the car and its documentation. Serious inquiries only please.

 

Terms of Sale

The car has personalized license plates that are the property of the seller. The buyer agrees to transport the car without the plates or to return the plates to the seller within one week of the sale.

The odometer mileage reported above is as of 5/28/2013. Mileage at delivery will be slightly higher.

10 automakers shack up in Detroit hotel to talk Takata airbags

Sun, Dec 14 2014

Since Takata has decided not to take the lead concerning potential issues with its airbag inflators, the automakers have. Perhaps that's unsurprising, since it's the automakers, not Takata, that will take a beating on the dealership floor if consumers decide its models are a health hazards. The Detroit News reports that Toyota, Honda, General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Mazda, BMW, Nissan, Mitsubishi and Subaru met in a hotel conference room near the Detroit Metropolitan Airport last week to sort out a way to understand the technical issues involved. So far, faulty airbag inflators have been ruled the cause of five deaths and 50 injuries around the world, but neither Takata nor investigators understands exactly why the inflators are malfunctioning. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recently asked Takata to issue a national recall, Takata declined, citing a minuscule failure rate and the fact that it's still investigating the issue. Toyota and Honda then made an industry-wide appeal for "a coordinated, comprehensive testing program" that would pinpoint the problem inflators and get them replaced, and that's what the Detroit meeting was about. Numerous issues, however, will make this a long row to hoe: simply getting the parts to replace the nearly 20 million inflators in cars recalled around the world so far - even working with other suppliers - will take a years, but more importantly, no one knows if the replacement inflators currently being installed will suffer the same issue. Answers will hopefully come quickly with Takata, the ten automakers and NHTSA all independently investigating the problem.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.

BMW working with Dainese to put airbags in motorcycle suits [w/video]

Fri, 19 Jul 2013

Addressing the safety concerns of its customers, BMW Motorrad is co-developing a rider suit with Dainese to feature something that's much more common in automobiles: airbags.
Starting with Dainese's D-air Protect System, which is made up of inflatable protectors that deploy in 15 milliseconds, the two companies will integrate the technology into a BMW Motorrad brand, one-piece racing suit, the DoubleR RaceAir. Later a different, street-oriented airbag system that can be retrofitted to bikes will be offered to Beemer riders.
The DoubleR RaceAir is expected to be presented at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan in November, after all required crash testing has been completed.
