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 to launch loaner program to avoid range anxiety on i models

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

BMW is looking to stave off electric vehicle range anxiety with a new program that offers buyers a free gasoline loaner with every i3 purchase. Ward's Auto reports BMW is confident that the EV will give buyers the kind of transportation they need for 90 percent of their trips. The loaners, meanwhile, will be available for those few occasions when drivers need to cover more ground than the machine's batteries will allow. The i3 gets around with help from a 180-horsepower electric motor paired with a lithium-ion battery pack.
The combo is good for trips of between 80 and 100 miles depending on driving habits and weather conditions, though BMW also plans to offer a model with a small two-cylinder range-extending gasoline engine as well. That option will likely set you back an additional $4,000. When the machine bows in 2014, it will likely come with a charge time of four to six hours when suckling from a 220-volt outlet.
As far as the conventionally powered loaner car goes, the cost of the program is included in the i3's purchase price, though BMW has yet to figure out how many free loans will be offered, or what happens after that threshold is reached.

Vorsteiner BMW M4 GTRS4 shows how to do a widebody at SEMA

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

Part of the joy of the SEMA Show is that all of the best tuners in the world are competing to show off their wares, and the challenge often pushes the companies into some absolutely insane directions. Case in point: Vorsteiner and its ludicrous GTRS4 wide body kit with the BMW M4.
According to Auto Evolution, the kit reportedly adds 4 inches in the front to fit 10.5-inch-wide wheels and a massive 7-inches more in the rear to snug in 13.5-inch-wide wheels, but spinning around the BMW in these images makes the changes look even more extreme. Beyond just the extra room in the fenders, the lower air intakes are ready to suck in huge volumes of cool air, and there's a front splitter to keep things planted. The front and rear extensions are joined by side sills that grow the farther back they go. Finally, at the rear, the M4 gets a reworked diffuser with mesh inserts.
This is just the type of automotive craziness that makes SEMA interesting. Take a lot at it for yourself in the gallery.

2014 BMW M235i is your Diet M4

Mon, Jan 13 2014

Alongside its big brothers, the M3 and M4, the new M235i was rolled out by BMW at the Detroit Auto Show today as the sportiest member of the 2 Series range. The sharp two-door is the replacement for the current 1 Series, meaning the M235i is more or less the equivalent of the old 135is. Underhood sits BMW's venerable 3.0-liter, turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine, complete with 322 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. Power is, naturally, sent to the rear wheels via either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic, allowing the M235i to hit 62 miles per hour in 4.8 seconds when optioned with the automatic. Prices start at $43,100, meaning the M235i should give the $47,450 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG a real challenge in terms of cluck for the buck, provided a second set of doors isn't needed. We've got a full gallery of live images from the floor of the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, along with the stock gallery and BMW's press release from our original post on the 2 Series. Scroll up for the former and down for the latter. The All-New BMW 2 Series Coupe A new dimension for The Ultimate Driving Machine Woodcliff Lake, N.J. – October 24, 2013 – 6:00pm EDT/3:00pm PDT. . . BMW today announced the introduction of an entirely new model series with the introduction of the all-new BMW 2 Series Coupe. This new take on The Ultimate Driving MachineTM will arrive in the US in the first quarter of 2014 as the 228i and the M235i. The BMW M235i, the first M Performance Automobile offered in the US, includes an impressive list of performance enhancing features. This successor to the successful 1 Series Coupe will continue the decades-long tradition of premium sub-compact coupes with impeccable driving dynamics when it makes its world debut at the North American International Auto Show in January 2014. The 2014 BMW 2 Series Coupe will be offered at a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price of $33,025 for the 228i and $44,025 for the M235i, including $925 destination and handling.
