Thank you for checking out my 1988 BMW E30 M3.  The E30 M3 in my opinion is by far the best M3 ever made.  This is a fine example of a mostly original M3 that has never been raced, mistreated or been in any accidents.  Below I have made a brief outline of the condition.  

EXTERIOR
- The car was repainted by a reputable shop and is currently in excellent condition.  It was just fully detailed and looks amazing. 
- Body is straight as can be. 
- Absolutely No Rust
- Wheels are original and in very good condition.  
- Tires have about 60% tread left

INTERIOR
- The car has it's original tan interior.  The interior is in excellent shape with no tears, marks, rips or excessive wear.  To make it showroom the interior could be refinished but that's totally up to the new owner.  
- All gauges, lights, doors, windows and electrical is in good working order.  
- Odometer is accurate and is fully functional.

MOTOR & TRANS
- Original S14 Motor was just refreshed last year and has less than 200 miles on it.  Parts replaced include JE pistons, timing chain, timing guide, head gasket set, oil pump, water pump, lower engine gasket set, intake air flow sensor, rod bearings and main bearings.  Also the head was serviced and the valves were resealed.  The block is now bored to fit the larger 94mm pistons. 
- Original Getrag 5 Speed transmission is in excellent shape and shifts smoothly.  

CHASSIS
- Completely Rust Free.  Absolutely Solid

HIGHLIGHTS
- No Accidents
- Vin tags on every panel except passenger side front panel.  Vin tags everywhere else including above the tool set and behind both the driver side and passenger side rear side markers.  

SUGGESTIONS
- Suspension could use tightening.  Drives fine but if you really want to let it rip you would benefit from having the suspension upgraded. 
- Interior is 100% original and hasn't been re-tinted.   Depending on how original you'd like to stay you may or may not want to touch the interior.
- Super Sprint exhaust is currently installed.  You may want to go back to the original exhaust if you prefer.  

This is a 1988 E30 M3 and is eligible for historic registration.  Please check with your local DMV for guidelines.  I have tried to outline the car the best I could however I realize that you may have questions.  Please ask as many questions as you'd like before bidding.  As this is a classic I definitely recommend a PPI before purchase, this is an AS IS sale and all sales are final.  You are more than welcome to setup a time with me to see it in person and take it for a test drive (deposit required before driving).   

** Please note the Autocheck in not accurate, apparently there was some documentation confusion back in the late 90's.  This is a no accident vehicle. The Carfax is 100% clean, feel free to run a report or email me for mine **

BMW expounds on i8 design and performance in new videos

Fri, 03 Jan 2014

At this point, there isn't much we don't know about the 2015 BMW i8, so BMW is starting to focus its attention on reassuring consumers that the future of BMW won't abandon the past. In these two recently released videos, BMW answers questions prospective buyers might have about about the new model's design and performance.
In the design video, BMW explains how the i8's styling is intended to be practical, with aerodynamics and fuel efficiency in mind, yet still have a sporty and dynamic look. The performance video aims to show that the plug-in hybrid can be fuel efficient while still delivering plenty of performance, and it shows an animation about how the i8's drive systems work together. Scroll down to watch both videos on this bold green supercar.

GRAND-AM, IMSA announce deal to bring DTM racing to US

Fri, 29 Mar 2013

It won't be until 2015 at the earliest, but the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA), Grand-Am and the Internationale Tourenwagen-Rennen have agreed to a licensing and cooperation deal that could bring a version of Germany's DTM series to the US.
When the American Le Mans Series and Grand-Am are officially combined next year, the resulting body will be called United SportsCar Racing (USCR). IMSA will be the sanctioning body for that series, and DTM races could be run as support events. It was also suggested by an ALMS chief that DTM races could be standalone or join NASCAR and IndyCar weekends.
With the so-called DTM America finally agreed to, there is now a way for manufacturers to run the same DTM-type cars in Europe, the US and Japan - last year Japan's Super GT series agreed to adopt "the basic technical regulations" of DTM for the GT500 class, the top class in the series. That already puts six manufacturers in play: Mercedes-Benz, Audi and BMW that run in Germany's DTM and Honda, Nissan and Lexus that run in Super GT. The DTM oversight body has invited American brands to Germany for the opening round of the 2013 season, and will begin actively courting their participation in the US series. Check out the press release from Audi with comments on the deal below.

2014 BMW 4 Series

Tue, 23 Jul 2013

Because Four Is Greater Than Three
Say what you will about the name 4 Series, there is a method to BMW's madness. On one hand, it's easy enough to just buy into the logic that odd numbers are reserved for sedans and wagons, and that even numbers are reserved for coupes and convertibles. On the other hand, consider the idea that the higher numbers are used to separate the more dynamic, more engaging vehicles that use the same platform. It's that sort of separation that differentiates the 6 Series so nicely from its 5 Series roots, after all. And if we're being cynical, it also allows BMW to charge a bit more money for its lower-volume offerings.
So with the new two-door version of the 3 Series, BMW has gone the route of strengthening the dynamic virtues of its F30 chassis to create a car that's more removed from its sedan kin than one might think. And after spending some time with the new 4 Series on the roads around Lisbon, Portugal, as well as the famous Circuito do Estoril racetrack, it's increasingly clear that calling this car a 3 Series Coupe simply wouldn't be fair.
