Vehicle Description
2004 BMW M3 Convertible
The BMW M3 is a high-performance version of the BMW 3 Series,
developed by BMW's in-house motorsport division, BMW M GmbH. M3
models have been produced for every generation of 3 Series since
the E30 M3 was introduced in 1986. Upgrades over the regular 3
Series models include engines, handling, brakes, aerodynamics,
lightweight materials and various interior upgrades.
For consignment, a 2004 BMW M3 convertible. It is shown in a
somewhat rare Phoenix Yellow, black canvas top, and black leather
interior. 19 inch G Craft Superstar wheels add to the "look" and
there are just a few minor faults on the body, which remains in
overall excellent condition.
Exterior
Phoenix Yellow bathes the all steel panels and neoprene bumpers
which are body matching on this car. Gaps are well minded, and
trimmings and badging are all in excellent condition. The car
sports the aluminum trim package, xenon headlights, and a backup
sensor system. The black canvas convertible top is electrically
lowered and raised and works nearly perfectly. This top has a glass
rear window, and when down, a black plastic tonneau covering. On
the back just below the bumper we see dual dual exhaust on either
side peeking out from the bottom of the rear roll pan. 19-inch G
Craft Superstar wheels are wrapped by low profile Continental
Extreme Contact tires. The driver's rim edge shows slight curbing,
and a very small crease is seen on the passenger's side fender lip.
A casualty of a parking lot incident.
Interior
Black leather covers the inside of the passenger compartment which
includes front racy smooth black leather buckets and a rear 2 plus
2 seat stretching across the back. The leather is in excellent
condition and the buckets are power operated. A center console
races through the buckets and up to the dash. Here we see a storage
compartment, this lid doubles as an armrest for the front
passengers. 2 cupholders and a small shifter is noted just prior to
the rise to the dash. Also here are various toggles for different
driving modes. As we move up to the dash front push button climate
controls with a digital readout and a larger head unit screen is
just above. This has the DVD stereo controls and a navi, but
currently does not function. Fronting the simple curved dash with
black faces and white numbers and red pointers is the sporty
steering wheel which has various controls within the spokes of this
wheel. In back of the wheel we note paddle shifters for the SMG,
(sequential manual gearbox), transmission. This can also be done
with the shift lever, or just put into full automatic for a worry
and hands free cruise. Black carpeting is on the floors. A shout
out to the trunk where a custom M cutout in the panel houses Xtant
10 inch subwoofers, 2 Rockford Fosgate amps, a 1.5 frat capacitor,
crystal components, coaxial and Farenheit DVD 35. A system when
installed costs $9,500.00!
Drivetrain
Under the hood is the factory 3.2 liter DOHC Inline 6 cylinder. It
has EFI, and a 6-speed semi-automatic transmission SMG type. The
rear axle weighs in at 3.64 gear ratio.
Undercarriage
Some upgrades for AC Schnitzer include a strut tower brace, and
performance exhaust. All else is stock including independent coil
sprung suspension on all 4 corners and power disc braking all
around.
Drive-Ability
She fires right up and off like a flash to the test track. Here
performance is over the top, braking solid, and it handles like
it's on rails. I noticed the check engine light is on, and as
mentioned the head unit display is inoperable, disabling the navi
and DVD screen. The stereo can pump out some serious Db's
An overall nice example with a color that grows on you, and plenty
of sporty features, nice leather interior, electric convertible
top, and M3 performance. Snappy 19-inch wheels and all I can say
now is SCHNELL!!
