1988 BMW M3 E30 - with S50B30 US spec E36 M3 motor & 5 spd gearbox.

Ideal base to build a stripped out track car with cage & harnesses etc.. or restore to full interior original spec road car.

The car has been completely stripped of its interior to inspect panels, floors and condition of wiring & carpeting. Drivers seat, dash & steering wheel still in place, so the vehicle is still drivable & roadworthy, with seat belts & mirrors etc..

All Interior parts removed are included with the sale, however as you can see from the photos it is in poor condition and will need refurbished.

VIN: WBSAK0303J2196492

MILEAGE: Title shows 102,413 MILES - Odometer shows 101,388 miles.

The odometer appears to be original but has stopped counting, so title reflects estimated true vehicle miles covered. (only about 1000 miles since last change of ownership), car was stored for a long time during engine transplant.

The Good:

Straight E30 M3 shell & chassis stripped ready for track preparation or restoration.
Strong S50B30 M3 motor installed in standard tune with all ancillaries. Runs & drives well.
5 spd M3 transmission with quick shift kit installed, No issues.
H&R springs, factory dampers.
OEM E30 M3 brakes all round, good rotors & pads recently replaced.
5 OEM 15x7" BBS M3 basket weave wheels in great condition with good bridgestone tires
Xenon bulbs in Euro smiley headlights. left Main beam light replaced with ram air intake. (Spare lamp included).
Evo M3 DTM front lip spoiler
E36 M3 shorter ratio steering rack installed.
Oil changed, all fluids topped off.
A/C system disabled, all parts to reinstate are included.
Heater & all controls function properly with NO leaks.
Brand new battery
No rust in some of the typical E30 problem areas: (Front windshield lower scuttle panel has been replaced, rear license plate lights area is good, under carriage looks good, trunk floor looks OK, battery tray shelf area next to firewall under hood has been replaced with new metal.
Original BMW factory build sheet from 09/28/1987
Clean & Clear title in hand.

The Bad:

The car is originally white and has been painted within the last few years, Badly. It looks fine from 15 feet away, but is a very amateur job. My plan was to repair the problem areas, install a cage and give it a full windows out respray inside & out.
The doors & hood need lined up properly, areas of bad body filler repairs & rusty sunroof tray, which will need removed completely & either a new one installed or sunroof to be sealed closed.
Leaky power steering hose. I have one but not sure if its the correct hose that needs replaced. (The steering rack doesn't leak, boots are dry). It is still drivable since it only uses a few drops of fluid per drive.
Engine conversion was completed by the previous owner and while it has been installed correctly, it needs some wires to be routed better, the radiator & some accessories need to be fastened more securely also.
Oil temp gauge is not connected & the tachometer sits at 3000 rpm until it revs past that point.
Exhaust is pieced together in the center with flex pipe, which leaks as it is not sealed. It is also very loud due to only having a rear muffler.
The dash has 2 major cracks, I have a crack FREE dash included along with all the other interior parts that were removed from the car. (Note: the rear seat bench is not included as it was too damaged, the back rest upper part is included).

Please email for many more pics of under the car, stripped interior, & spare parts included.

I have tried to be as honest as possible in describing the condition of the car, however i will no doubt have missed some details, so i welcome local inspections prior to bidding. Please don't hesitate to email with any questions.

Thank you.

BMW 3 Series set for mild facelift

Fri, 28 Mar 2014

The latest BMW 3 Series is pretty new, right? Well it's been on the market for the better part of three years now. And on a typical six-year production cycle, that means it's halfway through its life. It only makes sense, then, that BMW should be preparing a little mid-life facelift, and that's just what we appear to be looking at in these latest spy shots.
The changes will likely be minimal when the revised 3 Series debuts sometime in the middle of next year, with the visual changes to the exterior centering around a new front bumper. New lighting front and rear may also be part of the package, and you can also expect some updates to the interior while those Bavarian engineers are at it. Take a closer look in the gallery of high-res spy shots above for an idea of what to expect.

BMW 1 Series with B38 three-cylinder engine

Downsizing For BMW's Front-Wheel-Drive And i Futures
Output is quoted at 175 horsepower and BMW says it will hit 62 mph in 7.0 seconds.
The red five-door BMW 1 Series seen in this photo gallery has little to do with what is actually of importance here. What we've just tested at an airfield not far from Munich, Germany, is a new 1.5-liter TwinPower Turbo inline three-cylinder gas engine that we'll be hearing an awful lot about in the coming few years.

Cadillac ATS-V and Mercedes-AMG C63 S pitted Head to Head

Fri, Sep 4 2015

Our favorite (and only) Autoblog-alum-turned-Motor Trend staffer is back with another Head to Head video, this time pitting the Cadillac ATS-V with the Mercedes-AMG C63 S. This performance machine shootout is ostensibly a way to figure out which of these new super sedans will earn the right to go toe-to-toe with the undisputed champion of its segment, the BMW M3. In reality, it's just a really good excuse to put three of the hottest sedans on the market on video at the same time... and there's certainly nothing wrong with that. Jonny Lieberman spends time in each of the two new challengers on the road, picking apart their powertrains, chassis and driving dynamics on the kinds of twisty roads drivers of these cars will relish. Then, he hands the keys off to Randy Pobst, who sort of acts as an unmasked version of a certain tame racing driver, except that he talks and has a personality. 0-60 and quarter-mile times are equated, braking performance is measured and scores are tallied before the two sport sedans end up at Willow Springs raceway. Interestingly enough, the car that proves (just slightly) faster at the race track isn't the car that wins the comparison. Curious? We're not going to spoil it for you. Check out the video, above. Then, for more action of these two machines, check out the videos just below.
