Very reluctant sale of my 4/87 build 1988 M3. I have started small family and with new house have no room to keep her anymore. Car originally purchased in Atlanta in 1988 then moved to South Carolina where its been since. I have owned car last 15 years and have only put about 10,000 miles on her in that time. Previous owner resprayed car in about 1996 in original Diamantschwarz and added M color pinstripes under clearcoat. All sheetmetal is original and all show same VIN #. Again hood, front fenders, doors,trunk, rear fenders all show same OEM VIN# ending 5509. 100% original interior with black leather on grey carpet (some stains) and perfect headliner. I removed radio and have never cut into any interior panels for speakers. A/C works but is NOT cold. Power sunroof and windows work but driverside power mirror does not. Perfect crackfree, scratchfree dash and all original glass except for rear windshield that was replaced after dent (pictured) put above 3rd brakelight. The only panel gap thats not perfect is right rear corner where bumper meets quarter panel. There is crease (pictured) in sheetmetal under right rear tail light area of trunk, this was there when I purchased car. Paint is ok on sides and has good shine but horizontal areas hood, roof, trunk have dulled some from sun exposure. Clearcoat has peeled in several spots(pictured) and there are afew scratches and dimesize dings around car. Trunk wing shows worst clearcoat cracking and peeling as most e30 M3's do. Only rust on car is 3 surface rust spots (pictured) one under rear quarter glass and rolled lip of front fenders where paint peeled (pictured). Grill and trunk M3 emblems were removed when resprayed and never replaced. Car has original s14 engine that has never been into with about 197,500 miles. I say about because odometer broke no more than 300 miles ago. This is common issue on 80's BMW's as plastic odometer gears strip, Google it. Car starts and idles fine although starter sticks about 50% of time. There is intermitant loud noise until motor warms up that I would describe as powersteering related or possibly one of belt pulleys on front of motor. Only real issue I have ever had was what I thought to be fuel delivery problem but since changing ECU in glovebox, plugs, fuel filter, and disconnecting altitude sensor by cold air box she has run great! With only 10,000 miles in 15 years i've done several oil and filter changes but no one brand oil. Driving wise brake pedal is firm with lots of pad still, clutch pedal is crisp and no problems going thru gears. Car does'nt pull left or right on highway and shocks feel good. Wheels on car are 17' BBS RGR 1 piece with 95% tread Kumho tires. I am including OEM 16" BBS basketweave wheels that have old AVS Yoko's, however I have not located wheel center covers at this time. I will not accept offers before end of auction and won't do ppi because car could obviously use maintenance and tuneup with this mileage. Please call with any questions 803-261-6849 and I welcome any visitors to view car.

M-thusiast pops the question at BMW Welt
Tue, 02 Sep 2014We've seen all manner of marriage proposals over the years, but our favorites, of course, revolve around cars. One guy proposed to his girlfriend at a traffic stop, another during an autocross event, while yet another got dozens of Mazda MX-5 owners together to spell "Marry Me?" in Miatas. This latest proposal, however, put the M in Marriage as only a BMW enthusiast could.
While visiting BMW Welt in Munich, Bachir from Lebanon rolled out in a new blue M3 and got down on one knee in front of the gathered crowds to pop the question to Layal, his girlfriend of one year.
We'll let you watch the clip for yourself to see how it went, but suffice it to say that she was delighted. The couple plan to drive to the church in a procession of M cars for what promises to be a high-octane ceremony in their home country.
BMW M1 really was the Ultimate Driving Machine
Thu, 29 May 2014Life giving you lemons? Make lemonade. That's the spirit in Munich that lead to BMW producing the only mid-engined sports car in its 98-year history. The project resulted from a collaboration with Lamborghini (now owned, incidentally, by arch-rival Audi) to meet Group 4 homologation requirements. Lamborghini withdrew, the FIA changed its rules, but BMW built it anyway.
Arguably one of Giorgetto Giugiaro's finest designs, the M1 packed a 3.5-liter inline-six, driving 273 horsepower to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual. The Procar racing version turbocharged that output up to 850 hp and attracted the top drivers in a one-make F1 support race series.
Over the course of three years, the Bavarian automaker only built 456 examples of the M1, and for BMW enthusiasts, there's no vehicle more coveted. But don't take our word for it - let Petrolicious tell one noteworthy owner's tale in the video below.
European jury picks finalists for 2015 Car of the Year
Tue, Dec 16 2014There are countless Car of the Year awards handed out each year, and naturally, Europe has its own way of doing things. Every year, a panel of jurists representing seven publications in seven different languages and seven different countries get together to name their joint Car of the Year. The panel released a list of 32 candidates back in July, and it has now whittled that list down to seven nominees. The list consists of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, the Citroen C4 Cactus (shown), the Ford Mondeo, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the Nissan Qashqai, the Renault Twingo and the Volkswagen Passat. Of those seven, only two are available in the US – those being the Mondeo (sold Stateside as the Fusion) and the C-Class. The Passat is an entirely different model in North America, the Qashqai isn't offered here, Citroen and Renault don't even participate in our market and the BMW 2 Series is represented here only by the completely different coupe and convertible. Expect the one and only recipient of the 2015 Car of the Year award to be announced at the Geneva Motor Show this coming March, and while you're waiting, you can place your guesses for the eventual winner in Comments.
