1988 Bmw M3 on 2040-cars
Elmira, New York, United States
BODY:Recently painted in its original salmon silver (lachsilber) color. The paint is in excellent condition, virtually
all of the trim, badges, grills, window seals, wiper arms, antenna, etc were replaced with new OEM parts. All
original body panels with matching VIN. Absolutely no rust. The rear wing has no cracks. There are a few blemishes
I will try to describe. I bumped into a parked car and sustained a small dent to the drivers side front quarter
panel, about 4” across, and in the same area the front corner of the hood is bent, about 1a body shop.
INTERIOR:
The original cardinal red interior was completely replaced with an all black interior from a low mileage (50k) E30
M3. This included all of the door cards and handles, rear panels, front and rear seats. All of the seats have their
original leather and are in great condition no tears or splits with the normal patina and wear you would expect in
a car of this vintage. The dash was replaced and is in excellent condition with no cracks or fading but it does
have a small blemish, 2” long, above the glove box probably from someone forcing the latch open. the steering
wheel is the evo 3 type small size 270mm M-tech 2, the shifter is the Evo 3 type. The radio and speakers are all
original but not working because I don’t have the code. The sunroof works as it should. It has new OEM floor
mats. The carpet is in good condition with one small blemish in the back footwell which is under the floor mat.
WHEELS:
BBS style 5 17” with mirror polished split rim, silver centers and spokes, and gold plated hardware. They have a
few stone chips and very minimal scuffs on the rim. Overall excellent condition. Tires are Khumo Ecsta 21/40 ZR 17.
SUSPENSION:
Bilstein shocks and springs, lowered about an inch.
EXHAUST:
Strömung stainless steel
ENGINE:
The original S14, 2.3 L, 4 cylinder with matching VIN. Starts easily every time and runs strong with no issues.
Always used Mobil 1 full synthetic

BMW reacquires original factory as classic center
Thu, 27 Feb 2014BMW was barely two years old when it started manufacturing airplane engines in a factory on Moosacher Strasse in Munich. Two years after that, it sold the factory to Knorr-Bremse AG, a leading manufacturer of brakes for trains and commercial vehicles, and BMW moved into a new facility on Lerchenauer Strasse. There it expanded into the industrial giant we know today, building engines for cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats and planes. It's taken the better part of a century to get that original factory back, but that's exactly what BMW has done, reacquiring the expanded facility from Knorr-Bremse this month.
The factory on Moonsacher Strasse will now serve as the headquarters for BMW Group Classic, the division that handles archives and historical vehicles for BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce. From there, just a stone's throw from corporate headquarters and its main plant (as well as BMW Welt and the BMW Museum), the classic division's operations will include a restoration workshop, vintage parts store, the company's archives, administration as well as a place to hold events. In addition, there will be an exhibition space for historical vehicles from the company's considerable collection.
At the heart of the new/old campus is the gatehouse, which is a protected heritage site and will serve as a gateway into the company's history. Read the full details in the press release below.
BMW i8 official images leak ahead of Frankfurt [w/video]
Tue, 03 Sep 2013The new BMW i8 plug-in electric supercar isn't set to make its official debut until September 10, when it will glide onto the Frankfurt Motor Show stage amidst a sea of flash photography. Of course, that isn't so true in today's world, where debuts are always preceded (often carefully) by "leaks."
Take this trio of images of the BMW i8 - there's just enough of the exterior on display in the profile shot to draw attention, without showing important styling points that might be present on the front or back of the car. The same goes for the video attached below. The cabin shot is cool, but isn't particularly earth-shattering when it comes to BMW interiors. As for the skeletal shot, we can see the 1.5-liter, turbocharged engine positioned between the rear axles, the battery pack found in what would be the transmission tunnel and the front-mounted electric motors.
We'll have a full set of live images when the BMW i8 makes its debut in Frankfurt next week. Until then, have a look in the gallery and at the video below, and let us know what you think of BMW's next big thing.
Takata air bag recall list
Tue, Dec 9 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed yesterday that 33.8 million vehicles with Takata airbags are going to be recalled. It's the largest recall in automotive history. The already record-breaking rate of automotive recalls this year shows no signs of slowing down, especially since millions of cars with defective airbags made by global supplier Takata are under ongoing scrutiny. The federal government is warning owners that inflator mechanisms in the air bags can rupture, causing metal fragments to fly out when the bags are deployed. The faulty air bags have already been blamed for multiple deaths. How do you know if your vehicle is safe? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released an updated list of vehicles under recall. Sometimes however, the government's website will crash and the list may not be complete. Check your VIN at the NHTSA website to make sure. The list of cars affected by the recall has not been released, but seem to span multiple models over the years for many of the automakers.
