1988 BMW M3. I purchased this car in September of 2012 and went right to work restoring/replacing any aspect of the car that needed to be addressed. This is a clean title M3 with brand new paint, refinished interior, many aesthetic upgrades, and tons of mechanical improvements. From a mechanical perspective, the following has been performed (there has been more than just what is below replaced, and I do have receipts for everything, but I'll refrain from listing every hose, ring, or gasket). -New Injectors -New Water Pump -New Water Pump Belt -New Alternator -New Spark Plugs -New Radiator -New Battery -New Thermostat -New Intake Boot -New Power Steering Belt -New AC Belt -New Ignition Wires -New Radiator Hose -New Expansion Tank Hose -New Thermostat Hoses -New Upper Radiator -New Water Hose Set -New Hood Shock Strut Report -New Brake Pads and Sensors -New Distributor Cap -New Ignition Rotor -New Valve cover Gasket -New Camshaft Seal -New Intake Hose -New Return Connector -New Power Steering Mount Bushings -New AC Compressor Mount Bushings -New Alternator Bushings -New Primary Fuel Pump -New Secondary Fuel Pump -New Fuel Filter -New Oil Filter Housing Gasket -New Power Steering High Pressure Hose -New Power Steering Suction Hoses -New Fuel Tank -Newer Windshield Washer Tank -New Windshield Washer Blades -VAC Motorsports Z3 Shifter Kit -New S50/52 Timing Chain Tensioner From a performance/visual standpoint, the following parts have been addressed: -Full Alpine White Respray -Painted/Restored Window Moldings -Restored Black Leather Interior -New Bilstein Sport Struts -New H&R Sport Springs -New Hankook Ventus V12 Tires (215/40/18 Front, 245/35/18 Rear) -OEM BMW 18" M-Parallel Wheels (Custom Painted Silver W/ Gunmetal Face) -Refinished 15" BMW OEM Wheels Included -Stromung Exhaust W/ Custom Made Center Section -New Headlights -New Fog Lights (Clear) -New Turn Signals (Clear) -New Tail Lights -New Tow Hook Cover Set -New Matte Black Front Grille Set -New Belt Moldings -Red "Evo" Bumper Tape -"Evo" Style Front Splitter -New Windshield -35% 3M Window Tint -Reconditioned OBC -New Shift Know -New Shift Boot -New Custom Floor Mats As for negatives for the car, there are a few but not many. At idle the car does have some chatter, but everything I have researched says this is quite normal for an E30, and the car shifts and performs great. On the interior, there are one or two pixels out along the radio and OBC, but that is getting fairly nit-picky. As mentioned this car was purchased last year, so I don't have a long history outside of Carfax. Carfax does show a theft with the car year's back, but that is all I know and the previous owner here in Oklahoma knew nothing of it either. While the history is somewhat unknown (and the miles may be a tad higher than other cars in this price range), the thorough work and reconditioning of this vehicle make it something very special to anyone who sees it. There really isn't much else I can think of that could be addressed with the car. We have receipts for all parts purchased, and can happily get anyone in touch with the mechanic who performed the work. We have really gone through the car in its entirety and I feel confident that if the car sells, it will be a serious head turner for the buyer, and a great performer. This car seems to get more "thumb's up" than any of the other performance vehicle we own. I do not need to sell this car, rather for the right situation I see myself letting the car go to free up space and begin another project. Thanks in advance for looking at this ad and please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. |

Confident new Cadillac marketing boss ready to take on Tesla, BMW
Thu, Jun 26 2014When there's a former BMW executive heading Cadillac's efforts to boost sales of its only plug-in, it's a pretty safe guess that the marketing emphasis won't be on environmental friendliness and tree-hugging tendencies. The General Motors luxury brand has appointed ex-Bimmer executive Uwe Ellinghaus to be its marketing chief late last year, and the German-born Ellinghaus is now saying that he's targeting potential customers of Tesla Motors, in addition to BMW, for potential growth in sales of the Cadillac ELR extended-range plug-in. Appointed to Cadillac's head of marketing last November, Ellinghaus recently told Advertising Age that GM needs to highlight the Cadillac's looks and performance. He complimented Tesla for putting more emphasis on those attributes in the Model S than on its lack of emissions or lack of refueling costs (but Tesla hasn't shied away from highlighting the EV's savings). Ellinghaus says that trying to gear advertising "for people who are tree-huggers and green-wash an entire brand" won't be successful. You don't say. So far, the ELR hasn't made much of a dent in US car sales. Through May, Cadillac, which spent about $280 million on all of its US marketing last year, sold 293 units, whereas Tesla had been approaching the 11,000-unit figure for the Model S. With that in mind, Cadillac may be working on a sportier version of the ELR, as spy shots of a test vehicle from May revealed larger brakes and wheels. You can read our First Drive impressions of the ELR here.
BMW 8 Series turns 25 [w/video]
Wed, 04 Jun 2014From the very beginning, the BMW 8 Series was a head turner. It was hardly a common sight in the first place, and the angular lines and low, pointed nose made the GT look like something special on the road. It's been 25 years since the Bavarian brand's flagship coupe of the '90s debuted, and owners celebrated the anniversary in style in Germany.
The 8 Series still looks great today, but its popup headlights give away its age a little. You just don't see them anymore. It was introduced at the 1989 Frankfurt Motor Show as the 850i with a 5.0-liter V12 under the hood capable of 295 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. Later, even bigger V12s would find their way in there. Production lasted until 1999, but they were rather exclusive with 30,621 built in its lifetime.
To celebrate the anniversary, several BMW clubs organized 120 examples for display at the company's headquarters in Munich. The brand took advantage of the display to show off the ultimate 8 prototype as well. The one-off special packed a 550-horsepower V12 and a body with optimized aero. That engine eventually became the basis for the one in the McLaren F1.
