E46 M3 Coupe/ Every Oem Option/ Forged Wheels/ Csl/ Brembo/ Adult Ownd/ Pristine on 2040-cars
Austin, Texas, United States
This is a prime opportunity to acquire a tastefully appointed, all option, timeless German sports car in the most desirable color. This car has an AutoCheck score of 82, which is higher than some E92 M3s, let alone most E46s. There are absolutely no stories, accidents, recalls, or any other imperfections on the record of this car. I’ve wanted one of these cars since released in 2001. I had the unique opportunity to purchase this one from a friend of mine, who also happens to be the owner of BrenTuning. This was his personal vehicle that helped promote his tuning company. He purchased around 50k miles and sold to me around 70k. He did most of the modifications you see. I have kept it garaged, maintained, and detailed since purchasing in 2010. I am an ex-detailer and remain passionate about the cleanliness of my personal vehicles. For those of you that are in that world, the car is currently polished with Menzerna PO85RD and topped with two layers of Zaino Z5 Pro. I purchased this car in 2010 when I moved to Texas from the Northeast. It has never spent a night outside. I’ve only used BMW OEM parts and fluids for any repairs and maintenance it needs. It has seen rain less than 10 times since I’ve owned it. Lucky for us Texans, it never rains here, and the car is always clean. I daily drove this car for the first three years of ownership, but only put about 9,000 miles a year on it. After that, I picked up another vehicle to alternate with. More recently, I began working from home so this only gets used 1-2 times per week. My reason for sale is because it is time for something new. I truly love this car and it will be painful to part with. I’ve had it since March of 2010, which is longer than I’ve owned any other car. It is the most driver-centric vehicle I’ve owned, which will be hardest to part with. However, someone deserves to give this one a go. I’ve only put 3,000 miles on it since November. It is truly special and receives regular compliments. Condition None nicer. I don’t
use that lightly. I’ve sold a lot of
cars before, both my own and as a consultant.
I’ve been to local M3 meets and put the 2006 Texas M3s to shame. They are hard pressed to believe the age and
roots of this car. If you tell someone
this car is 2002, they won’t believe you.
It is as clean as they come. The only cosmetic imperfections are with the elbow areas on the driver's console/door armrests (normal wear) and cracked lower portion of the front lip. The driver's door titanium trim has a little bubbling as well. I rewrapped the lip in 3M carbon fiber vinyl after
a truck dropped a branch on a dark highway with nowhere to go. When wrapped, you don’t even know there is
damage. Thankfully the lip took the brunt of the impact and nothing else on the
car, or under the car, was affected.
Unfortunately, they don’t make this lip anymore, so I had to
improvise. There are a couple of
blisters on the rear driver’s side wheel-lip that have been there since I’ve
owned it, but not worsened. This is
shoddy chrome work from iForged, but they refuse to repair it. It didn’t bother me enough to have them re-chromed. Other than that, what you see is what you
get; an impeccably maintained and cared for E46 M3. Overview:

BMW, Sixt carsharing making money most places
Wed, Aug 20 2014The DriveNow carsharing service, which is a partnership between BMW and Sixt, is growing quite rapidly. "We've been surprised about the explosion of new subscriptions, which has helped boost revenue," says Sixt CEO Erich Sixt. The number of DriveNow users has increased from 215,000 at the end of last year to 300,000 today. Sixt says that DriveNow has been profitable in cities in which it has been established for over a year. Perhaps encouraged by its unexpected success, DriveNow is set to expand even further. The service is currently available in five German cities, as well as in San Francisco, California, and the involved parties are considering a five-year plan to expand to 25 more cities in Europe and the US. Still, Sixt expects DriveNow to report a "small-to-medium, single-digit" loss for this year, according to Sixt CFO Julian zu Putlitz. It's no big deal, just the result of startup costs in new areas. Sixt, which is Germany's largest car rental company, also reported that its own second-quarter income rose 12 percent to $37.7 million, while sales rose 7.6 percent to $585.78 million. DriveNow uses a membership and pay-per-minute model that allows customers to rent BMW and Mini vehicles as they need them. The service also acts as a way to let potential customers try out the vehicles and familiarize themselves with the brands before they buy cars of their own at some point. Depending on the location, DriveNow's fleet includes the BMW 1 Series, ActiveE and X1, as well as several Mini vehicles like the Cooper, Clubman and Countryman.

Here's how Detroit is selling more luxury vehicles than Germany and Japan
Sun, Dec 14 2014Now there's an attention-grabbing headline, eh? Although the answer to the riddle - pickup trucks and SUVs - might be somehow deflating, the numbers involved deserve a going over. According to TrueCar's figures (click on the table to enlarge), six of the year's ten best-selling vehicles in the US that sell for a transaction price above $50,000 are body-on-frame, and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is the only foreigner to crack the top five. Every enthusiast knows that pickup trucks are 'Murica's most popular vehicle by a colossal margin, and there have been plenty of reports about the popularity of luxuriously appointed trucks and SUVs, but compare these figures from TrueCar: 70 percent of Chevrolet Tahoe sales have a transaction price above $50K, and The Bowtie is expected to make $3.9 billion in revenue on 66,945 predicted high-dollar sales; 95.1 percent of E-Class sales break $50K, so the German company will make $4.0 billion on 67,006 predicted sales in that pricing sphere. It's about the only time you'll see the Tahoe ranked right next to Mercedes' bread-and-butter sedan. Ram is ahead of those two with $4.2B coming from $50K-plus sales. The Ford F-Series does almost as much revenue as the next three combined, with an expected $10.8 billion coming from sales of trucks over $50K - more than a quarter of the model's total sales, when a base F-150 can be had for about $26,000. Yes, the Germans make a lot more money on fewer sales, but considering the comparison, the bottom line isn't too troubled by such facts. Weighing like-for-like, the full-size Ford walks it in every category; elsewhere, the Chevrolet Silverado outsells the Ram, but the Ram outsells the Chevy by 6.7 percent above $50K. And for all the flak GMC takes over swapping out grilles, the Sierra also outsells the Chevy in the well-appointed segment, 16.1 percent of sales versus 11 percent – the Professional Grade brand is a huge profit center for The General. You'll find more info in the TrueCar press release below. TrueCar finds pickup trucks far outsell premium brands among top 10 vehicles over $50,000 Ford F-Series pickup sales over $50,000 surpass combined BMW 3, 5, 7 Series luxury car sales SANTA MONICA, Calif. (December 10, 2014) - TrueCar, Inc., the negotiation-free car buying and selling platform, finds mainstream pickup trucks and sport-utility vehicles dominate U.S.
