1988 BMW E30 ///M3

~PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING~

-Re-listed due to a childish bidder- If you need to ask permission before bidding, don't waste your time- 

Will provide more pictures upon request! 

This beauty is at 85% full restoration (RUST FREE), Engine is out of vehicle and is awaiting a valve adjustment. 

 

This 1988 E30 M3 Painted Speed Yellow! Pictures do not do the vehicles color justice! Exterior of the vehicle has been painted while the door jams, under the hood and under the trunk are still Dakar Yellow. Vehicle's original color is Salmon Silver Metallic, the original owner had the vehicle painted when the Dakar color was released, There is no sign of the original paint color anywhere except a little behind the rear seat (seat has to be removed enable to see this color) Original black interior. Well Maintained with an 1’’ binder filled with records that go back to the 90’s for this vehicle! This vehicle was not abused it was passed down from family member to family member then I had the lucky chance to purchase it.

 

Vehicle is in great physical condition with 202,286 miles on the chassis, and 0 miles on rebuilt motor, Car has been prepped and restored ground up, NO EXPENSES SPARED at this time, by a local BMW shop that has been specializing in bmw’s for the past 20+ years. 


Interior of the vehicle is in decent clean shape this was my next adventure for the vehicle, their are a few cracks in the dash (a very common e30 problem) Nothing that a dash cap couldn't fix, as well as normal wear throughout the interior, Driver seat has a few tears, rest of the seats are tear free. Interior is clean otherwise.

 Vehicle does not have a stereo! Why would you need one in a vehicle like this?!?!


Vehicle has the following mods;

- Jim Conforti Chip 

- H&R Springs 

- Racing Dynamics Adjustable Anti Roll bars F+R 

- Momo Steering wheel

- Short Shifter


Items Installed around 196k Miles

- Sachs clutch/pressure plate/ clutch master cylinder/ clutch slave cylinder  

- Lower control arms and control arm bushing

- Racing Dynamic sway bar bushings

- Urethane Transmission Mounts

- Distributor Cap + Distributor rotor

These are just some of the mods and new parts, I know I am forgetting others. 

 

 

No Shortcuts were taken in this project, My intentions were to make it perfect to my liking and keep the vehicle for as long as I could.


Original motor threw a rod so i had to purchase a new block, crankshaft, rods and pistons.

Engine has been fully rebuilt from ground up meaning there is “0” miles on the motor painted dakar yellow, its just paint obviously you as the new owner can paint it as you please, ALL OEM parts were used, Only thing that is needed is a valve adjustment, then you would have a perfect s14 engine.

Crankshaft polished, complete valve job, ALL new gaskets, New head bolts, new oil pump, new oil pump shims, New rod bearings, new connecting rod bolts, new main bearings, few thousand miles on water pump, new piston ring set, ALL SIZES ARE STANDARD. New timing chains, new timing guides except one (still in perfect condition). (I'm probably forgetting somethings)


Vehicle and Engine sold together, once again engine is out of vehicle awaiting a valve adjustment and installation. I do not have the tools nor capital to continue this adventure. 


Vehicle is sold AS-IS where is, no if ands or buts!

Vehicle is located in Montclair, California with a CLEAR New Mexico Title.

Buyer is responsible for all shipping and transportation needs for this vehicle.

 

DO NOT waste my time or yours. Do your research and ask questions. If you are bidding on this vehicle please have a feedback of at least 3+ if you are below this amount please email me ahead of time, there is to many scams going on and fake bidders. Also HAVE your FINANCES in order before bidding.


 


 

This could be a fun quick project for the right person or family. The value of this vehicle is only rising by day. I want this vehicle to go to someone that knows what the true meaning of the e30 m3 is and will care for it and love it as much as I did. Trust me if I didn't have to sell it I wouldn't sell it.




 -Vehicle is also sold locally-

BMW launches new M Performance accessories for M5, M6

Wed, 16 Oct 2013

Those looking to make their stock BMW look like an M model might be interested in an M Sport package. But those who already drive an M model and want that extra bit of attitude to take it over the top look towards the M Performance Accessories catalog, to which BMW has just added a new range of add-ons for the M5 and M6.
The new range of accessories include a titanium exhaust from Akrapovic that's 22 pounds lighter and an extra bit throatier than the stock unit. BMW's also offering a carbon-ceramic brake kit and 20-inch alloys to accommodate them, as well as a carbon aero kit, carbon interior trim and those trademark stripes for the truly extroverted BMW performance enthusiast.
You can check them out in the gallery above and the press release below to see what Martin Tomzczk, the DTM driver sponsored by BMW M Performance Accessories, chose for his matte black M6 Gran Coupe daily driver.

Audi overtakes BMW as adulterers' favorite car brand

Fri, 14 Jun 2013

As Audi hopes to surpass BMW as the top-selling luxury automaker, sometimes it has to look at the small victories, too. For instance, IllicitEncounters.com - a UK dating site for married folks (also known as adultery) - is reporting that a recent poll shows that more people willing to cheat on their spouses drive an Audi. Last year, this same poll showed that BMW was the car-of-choice for adulterers.
With Audi on top (pun intended) and BMW bumped to number two, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo and Volkswagen round out the top five car brands owned by unfaithful wives and husbands. Check out the poll over at IllicitEncounters.com, but be sure to clear your browser history afterward. You know, just to make sure your spouse doesn't get the wrong idea about the websites you visit.

Toyota Supra, Rolls-Royces, dozens of BMWs recalled for backup camera issue

Wed, Oct 9 2019

Weeks after Nissan and Infiniti recalled more than 1.2 million vehicles for a potentially dangerous programming oversight in the backup camera settings, BMW has issued a recall for similar problems. The recall, which covers 257,481 vehicles, includes numerous BMWs, as well as two Rolls-Royce models, and the 2020 Toyota Supra.  In total, the recall potentially affects 51 different products. This includes the 2018 BMW 540D, 2018–2019 BMW 640I, Rolls-Royce Phantom, 2018–2020 BMW 530e, 530i, 540i, M5, M550i, X3, 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan, 2019–2020 BMW 330I, 740Le, 740Li, 745Le, 750Li, 840i, M340i, M850i, X4, X5, X6, X7, Z4, and 2020 Toyota Supra. On certain BMW models, xDrive variants are also included. According to NHTSA campaign No. 19V684000, "The back-up camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rearview image is no longer visible and the system will retain that setting the next time the vehicle is placed in reverse." If there is no display image when backing up, drivers can't properly see, and the car no longer meets modern safety regulations. Specifically, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rearview Mirrors."  The recall was filed on September 27, 2019, and BMW plans to begin notifying affected owners in November. BMW, Toyota, and Rolls-Royce dealers will update the vehicles' software, which should fix the problem.Â
