It is a California car that has not been on the road since 1994. I have since been to the DMV and have paid all the back fees and penalties, giving this car a CLEAN TITLE AND CURRENT REGISTRATION. The goal of this build was to make the "Modern man's Tii". To fulfill this goal the M42 engine was purchased. The car started out as a almost complete car minus some interior parts. Every part of the car was strip off and boxed away leaving only a rolling shell. From here the car was examined for rust which it had very little of and was all patched using BMW patch pieces for the parts that needed help. Additionally all the belt trip holes, molding holes, reflector holes and bumper holes were welded shut. Finally a custom TIG welded roll bar was installed in the car for increased body stiffness and safety for that possible track day. Before being sent to the paint shop all body panels were removed from the car ( doors, hood, trunk lid, and sunroof). Also the engine bay and trunk were both sandblasted to ensure a quality job would be performed in the difficult areas. While the car was at the paint shop the Suspension was being modified to match the spirit of the car. The front suspension was completely disassembled. The sub frame was reinforced at the common cracking spot located at the engine mount. All suspension pieces were then hand painted with POR 15 to ensure ultimate durability and a nice clean finish ( a hammer has no chance of removing this paint). The sub-frame was re installed with factory rubber bushings, none of that polyurethane crap that's too stiff and squeaky. Also during the removal process all bolts from the entire car were sent to the platers to be cleaned and zinc plated for corrosion resistance and sex appeal. The sub frame was re-assembled using these bolts. The Front struts on the car were removed and front coilovers were installed in their place. The coilovers feature a adjustable collar for ride height adjustment, Eibach 300lb springs, Bilstien heavy duty shocks and an extra degree of camber built into them. The strut bearings are also attached to a fixed camber plate adding an additional half degree of camber. The stock hubs were removed and factory E21 Hubs were installed in their place. This installation allowed for the front big brake conversion. This allows for 10 in vented rotor to be installed with four piston brakes. Everything was assembled on shop floor and awaited its fresh new body. The rear suspension has a similar story to the front in that all the components were removed, sandblasted and painted with POR 15. Once removed the rear subframe was modified to allow for the adjustable camber and toe package to be installed. This will allow the owner to take out some of the excess camber that results from lowering the rear of the car. The rear of the car still lacks decent shocks and springs. Also the rear differential is a stock 2002 open. The brakes in the rear were also upgrade using the E21 backing plates and drums. Finally everything was re-installed using the newly cleaned and plated bolts. The Tii engine from this car was removed and was replaced by a 1993 M42 motor out of a 318i. This motor produces more HP than the tii ( about 140 total) with the addition of electronic fuel injection instead of mechanical. The Motor, transmission, radiator, header pipe, computer and harness have all been acquired and are included with the car. The motor showed good leak down numbers, all under 5%,(very tight), although it has not been started yet. All Tii brackets from the engine bay have been removed to allow for this engine. Other painted parts Gas tank (sandblasted, painted with POR 15) Pedal Box (sandblasted, rebuilt, painted) Steering Box ( cleaned, painted) White Cad plated Parts Headlight buckets , hood latch, wiper motor, hood hardware , door grease latch, door catch, trunk hinges, trunk latch additional parts Painted front plastic air dam Painted rear fiberglass bummber Many stock parts found in the photos Shipping I am willing to ship the car anywhere a buyer might like, although I would require that the buyer make all the arrangements. I also recommend that the buyer if interested stop by and look at the car before purchasing if all possible.

2013 BMW M3 Coupe Lime Rock Park Edition
Thu, 25 Jul 2013Sic Transit Gloria
I like difficult cars. I like turbo "moments," dramatic weight distribution, low-grip, peaky power delivery, and overly quick steering, along with ultra-short wheelbases and any number of other non-racecar-perfect dynamic foibles. I love the newest generation of BMW cars and engines - all turbo'd up with tons of torque and power everywhere in the rev range, too. But what I think the enthusiast community will miss when this 2013 M3 Coupe becomes the 2014 M4 Coupe - replacing its idiosyncratic, small-displacement, revvy V8 for something like a triple-turbo, directly injected, inline six-cylinder powerhouse in the process - is the work it takes to drive the car fast and perfectly. Sometimes small flaws just make things better; my mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun, and all that.
The idea of this E92 M3 going away then, magnified by the loss of the M3 badge for the coupe, is at best bittersweet for me. This generation of M car is already surpassed in terms of raw thrills by the better-than-ever Mercedes-Benz C63, a car that doesn't ask its driver to sacrifice low-end grunt or the very latest in amenities in return for stellar backroad performance. Yet any time I've been lucky enough to lap a track in the M3, it has quickly become clear that the Bimmer is the better on-edge tool. With the freedom to wring the neck of the 4.0-liter V8 and room to exercise the lovely balance of the car, the E92 is hard to match (even six years after its debut).
Senior VP Hildegard Wortmann says BMW's electric journey is just beginning
Fri, Mar 14 2014Anyone who questions BMW's effort or sincerity on electrified vehicles should have a chat with Hildegard Wortmann, the German automaker's senior vice president over product management for automobiles and aftersales. I was fortunate to do just that at the Detroit North American International Auto Show earlier this year. ABG: Where might BMW go with electrified vehicles beyond your i3 urban EV and i8 high-performance hybrid sports car? "That [regulatory] train has left the station" - Hildegard Wortmann HW: I think a big advantage is that we now have two bookends: BMW i [green] and BMW M [high performance]. We can use those bookends to foster the BMW brand in total. Are electrified vehicles the answer to CAFE and European regulations? Is that the future? We don't know, but that [regulatory] train has left the station. To achieve all of these regulations worldwide, there is no way to do it without electrification. That is why the activities of BMW i are not just to launch new products. They are our build-up in competence for learning and gaining experience in electrification. We will use those learnings for the total BMW brand. Technology-wise, we now have a really good understanding of what to do, what not to do, how to work with this and how to get a lot of learnings from the infrastructure and everything that goes with it. And depending on how quickly the market takes off, we can scale it and use it across the range. We will use the competence we will have in vehicle electrification for more than just BMW i. There will be other derivatives and electrification of other products. ABG: Do you see BMW offering pure EVs with larger batteries for greater range? HW: That's a big feature of the Tesla. The question is to find the best balance [of range vs. battery size, weight and cost]. On the i3, we tried to have the right balance between how much range customers need for daily driving and how much battery we put in there. The market will show us. We have over a million kilometers driven by consumers in the Mini E and ActiveE and a fairly good understanding that those people are not driving that much. Putting a really big battery with all that weight into a car that is meant for urban mobility does not make sense. ABG: What about extended-range EVs beyond the i3's optional small range extender engine? "This whole EV movement is in its very early stages." HW: This whole EV movement is in its very early stages.
Carmakers, NHTSA to unveil auto-emergency braking agreement tomorrow
Wed, Mar 16 2016Happy St. Patrick's Day Eve. Tomorrow, there will be green beer, corned beef and cabbage, and automatic emergency braking for all. Weird combo, we know. But on St. Patty's we can expect an official announcement from a pact of automakers making auto-braking systems standard equipment by 2022. That's per a report from Reuters, which cites three sources familiar with the plans. Originally announced in September 2015 by 10 automakers and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the agreement is expected to be even larger when the details are unveiled tomorrow. According to Reuters, the manufacturers of 99 percent of the US domestic market's vehicles will be represented by the new agreement. It's believed that standard AEB systems could prevent thousands of accidents across the country. Expect more on the official announcement when it's made. Related Video:
