The 2001 - 2002 BMW M roadster reads like a BMW greatest hits list. The S54 motor from the E46 M3. Semi-trailing arm rear suspension from the E30. Sport steering wheel from the E39 M5. Gearbox and brakes from the E36 M3. Add in a 3.15 limited slip differential and the updated DSC from the E46. Deep dark shadowline refinished M roadster wheels, a lowered stance, and an M-specific body to complete the look. With 315 hp, and over 300 lbs less than the 2001 M3, this car likes to run. Check the period reviews to see what I mean. This car is by far the most fun vehicle I have ever owned, It has never let me down in a single occasion, going to work, cross country drives, you name it. It is (almost) as content to idle down the road as it is to hustle down a back road. Everything, the controls, are tight and responsive. It makes any drive fun, even a long one. Twice, after an 800 mile drive I felt great and stepped out with a smile on my face, turning back to look at the car as it ticked cool.The silver with the red interior is a very special combination. I love the car and have really enjoyed it. Its takes premium, obviously, but has always returned better than expected fuel economy. The reason I am selling is that I find myself driving more and I hate to put so many miles on such a special car. I have all the maintenance receipts from my work and the previous owner's work. The car has been recently gone over by Harrison Motorsports in GA. They specialize in BMWs, lookup the shop. I have always kept the car clean, washed, and waxed. Included in the sale is the soft-top cover for when the top is down and a custom car cover. The car has: ***Reinforced subframe Fresh front brakes Recent oil change Tires probably have ~80% left Upgraded speakers New rear window New alternator Cosmetic refresh Areas of attention: There are a few scratches and chips throughout the car. I have tried to touch these up on the hood as pictured The car will need rear brakes in 10,000 miles or so These cars are known for cracking rear subframes. This car had this issue and I repaired it at a cost over $4,000...with Randy Forbes' kit. The repair was professionally done by Harrison Motorsports. The car is much stiffer after the repair and this cracking will never be an issue again. The potential issue is S54 motor rod bearings. These usually fail at low mileage. The motor in this car is outside the motor recall dates. I have always taken great car of the car to warm the car up properly (oil and coolant up to temp) every time I take it out. Basically, this car is ready for you to drive it like you stole it! That's honestly it! I am a Mechanical Engineer by training and own five bicycles currently and I have had a few motorbikes in the past. I have been a perfectionist about everything mechanical I own and this car is no exceptions. The car (his name is Sterling by the way) has been my baby and I get teased over the amount I obsess over it I don't have to sell it by any means and it will upset me to do so, but I guess it is time for me to be a bit more practical...

This is the BMW Z4 GTE that will wear the Roundel in ALMS
Sun, 17 Feb 2013The Speedweeks at Daytona International Speedway are a month of racing and reveals, with the season's metal going for the flag at races like the Rolex 24 at Daytona and other cars being introduced to the public. In the latter category is the BMW Z4 GTE (click the image above to enlarge) joining the American Le Mans Series GT class this year with BMW Team RLL (Rahal, Letterman and Lanigan). This machine replaces the M3 GT that completed four years of service and won the class title in 2010 and 2011. Naturally, the team is tempering expectations for the Z4 GTE by repeating the fact that it sees this season as a development year.
BMW Team RLL drivers for its two cars will be Bill Auberlen and series rookie Maxime Martin in the No. 55, aided by Jörg Müller for the endurance races at Sebring and Road Atlanta. The No. 56 car gets Dirk Müller on a full-time basis, Joey Hand when he's not competing in the DTM series, and John Edwards when Hand isn't available. Uwe Alzen will help out with driving duties in the No. 56 at endurance races.

BMW 2 Series, X5 get their M Performance parts on
Mon, 02 Dec 2013BMW models come in a number of flavors, from their standard guises to M Sport variants and M Performance models to full-on M muscle machines. But if you want to pick and choose the degree to which you want your Bimmer upgraded along the path to M, BMW automaker offers its M Performance Parts line. The Bavarian automaker already offers these performance and stylistic add-ons for a number of models, and has now released new kits for both the 2 Series Coupe and the latest X5 crossover.
The catalog for the 2 Series includes an available lowered suspension kit, upgraded brakes, new alloys, carbon aero kit and interior trim enhancements. There's also a power kit available for the 220d model that squeezes out an extra 16 horsepower for a total of 200, and a limited-slip differential and exhaust silencer for the M235i.
Upgrades to the X5 crossover, meanwhile, also include a carbon aero kit and interior trim package. The X5 xDrive35i model also gets a power kit boosting output by 20 ponies to 326 hp and an exhaust silencer. Scope out the details in the pair of press releases below and the pair of high-resolution image galleries top and bottom.
BMW M4 spied in coupe and convertible form
Thu, 29 Aug 2013From the sound of it, we'll have to wait until the Detroit Auto Show to see the production version of the BMW M4, but spy shots show the new hi-po BMW testing recently in both coupe and convertible form. Showing a lot more skin than recent spy shots, these M4 prototypes look very similar to the M4 Concept we saw at Pebble Beach.
Carryovers from the concept car include the funky mirrors, bulging hood and the slotted front fascia vents, but the rear fascia seems to be missing the added flair of the concept and, as expected, the carbon fiber front splitter and exhaust tips are also missing from these M4s. Like the current M3 Convertible, the drop-top version of the M4 will utilize a retractable hard top.
