2004 Bmw M3 Base Convertible 70k Miles, Excellent Condition on 2040-cars
Sausalito, California, United States
|
2004 M3 convertible, 70,8xx miles. 6 speed manual. Impeccably maintained, recent inspection II
with valve adjustment. Oil change within
500 miles. Runs flawlessly. Silver/black leather. Top is in perfect condition, and factory windscreen is included. Heated and power seats, leather is in great
condition with expected wear on driver’s bolster, steering wheel. Non smoker car, garage kept at all times. New brakes at 65k, brand new rear tires, front tires
80%. I recently had polyurethane
trailing arm bushings installed as the stock rubber bushings were causing
premature tire wear on the rear tires.
The poly bushings don’t squeak. Two
tasteful mods: Borla stainless midpipe and Rogue Engineering El Diablo stainless
muffler (no more rasp, deeper tone but not louder than stock), and an AFE cold
air intake. I have the stock exhaust and
airbox and will absolutely include in the sale.
The El Diablo muffler sounds great and looks even better with larger
polished exhaust tips. Top of the line
Alpine CDA-117 with Bluetooth integrated phone, iphone/ipod and trunk is prewired for a
subwoofer (RCA and line). Stock stereo
included as well. Paint is near flawless with the exception of a surface
scratch on the passenger door. Very
subtle. A few years back an empty coffee
can flew out of a pickup truck on the freeway and hit the left fog light and
part of the hood. I had the repair done
at Anthony’s Auto Craft in San Rafael, CA, which is the authorized repair shop
for Ferrari, Mercedes and BMW. Autocheck
reports the car was in an accident “left front corner” but this doesn’t report
the full picture. The car was not in a
collision; road debris caused the need for a cosmetic repair and the paintwork
was done at the best possible shop. I
stress ‘cosmetic’ because there was no body work needed, just repaint (hood and
bumper) and replace the foglight. I have
the invoice from Anthony’s for your review.
I hate to sell the M3 but my wife doesn’t drive manual shift. I bought this car in 2010 from a private
party with 36k miles and it had the factory warranty at that time. I can’t stress enough that this car has been
maintained very well; all service, oil changes and needed maintenance has been
performed at timely intervals. This M3 road
warrior is setup perfectly and will make the next owner very happy. |

BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe blows the doors back on [w/video]
Tue, 04 Mar 2014BMW sure seems to take pleasure in confusing the hell out of us. It used to be pretty simple: if you wanted a compact Bimmer, you had to look no further than the 3 Series. Then it was just a matter of which bodystyle you wanted. But the smaller end of BMW's lineup has gotten more complicated lately. Never mind the 1 Series and 2 Series (in their various iterations) that have slotted in below it - now the 3 Series has been split in two: Want a four-door, get the new 3 Series. Want a two-door, the 4 Series is your address. Right?
Almost. Because now there's a 4 Series Gran Coupe that keeps the two-door's roofline (or some approximation of it) but adds an extra set of doors in the back, thereby bridging the gap between the 3 Series sedan and 4 Series coupe. And it's just made its public debut here at the Geneva Motor Show.
The difference between this and the two-door 4 Series is plain to see: it's got two extra doors. But what's the difference between this and the 3 Series sedan? About two or three grand, to start with - depending on which version (428i Gran Coupe or 435i Gran Coupe) you choose. But it's also sleeker, more muscular and altogether that extra bit sexier. Which is a good trait, as you can see from our gallery of live shots above, to have in your European sports sedan, coupe, or whatever you want to call it.
BMW won't build M4 Gran Coupe
Fri, 04 Jul 2014Over the last few years, it feels like BMW has looked at its lineup and decided to offer a vehicle in every possible segment that it can find, no matter how small. The company is finally showing some restraint, though, at least when it comes to the high performance M division. For example, don't expect to see an M4 Gran Coupe at your local BMW dealer in the future.
M GmbH sales chief Jörg Bartels told Cars Guide in Australia, "It was definitely considered, but there is no plan to build an M4 Gran Coupe." The sport sedan just wouldn't make financial sense, he said. BMW already builds the M3 and M4 at separate factories, adding a third for such a niche model would be too much. Plus, the M3 already fills out the segment.
If you wanted an M model with a bit more storage space in the back, Bartels dashed those dreams, as well. He said that there isn't an M3 Gran Turismo hatchback in the pipeline, either.
BMW rolls out new M4 safety car for DTM
Mon, 05 May 2014Ever since revealing the M4 on nearly five months ago, BMW has been hard at work getting its new muscle coupe out on the track. It's made a touring-car version to compete in DTM and a safety car to set the pace at MotoGP races, and now it's combined both into a new safety car for DTM as well.
The ninth M4 on the DTM grid is based on the production version, but fitted with numerous upgrades over the course of a two-month conversion process. For starters, it's been equipped with nearly exterior component from the M Performance Parts catalog, including the quad-tipped exhaust, front splitter, rear spoiler and diffuser, blacked-out grille, special mirror caps, side sills... the works. But that's not the end of the story.
BMW M GmbH also gutted the interior, removing the rear bench and replacing it with a roll cage. It's got a pair of Recaro racing buckets with Schroth harnesses, plus special LED emergency lighting, radio communication system and, of course, special livery (albeit nowhere near as cool as the MotoGP one) to distinguish it as the official safety car when it makes its debut at the Nürburgring on August 17.
