1990 Bmw M3 on 2040-cars
Peshtigo, Wisconsin, United States
More infos regarding my car at: isaiasiddrumheiser@cobblers.org .
The Quick Version:
1990 BMW M3 (E30)
Original Paint = BrilliantRot; Repainted HennaRot 1-year ago ($5000).
I've owned the car for the last 12-years
Original 2.3L S14 Engine
Original transmission (all gears shift smoothly!)
Recently had $5000 worth of engine maintenance done by certified BMW Mechanic
Setup with Ground Control Coil-Overs; Racing Dynamic Sway Bars and Strut Braces
Sparco Race Seats; Momo Race Wheel; UUC Short Shifter
4.10 Rear Diff
Lightened Flywheel + BMW "HD Clutch"
Resonator and Stainless exhaust
Rebuilt Dash Cluster; all gauges work!
Bolt-in Roll Bar / Half-Cage; Rear seat delete
All lights work; On-board Computer works; power windows & sunroof work
Discontinued SSR Wheels (17x7.5) with Toyo Rubber
Setup and maintained by certified BMW/Porsche mechanic for the last 10-years
Never Driven hard or raced, only taken out for the occasional "Track Day"
Always stored in a heated garage, always babied, never smoked in
NEVER in an accident / No body or frame repairs
This is a VERY clean example of a BMW E30 M3 with very minimal modifications; all of which were designed to improve
the driving experience. (reliability was ALWAYS the focus!)
This car would be a great candidate for a total restoration, OR as a dedicated track car.
Currently it's setup to be the best of both worlds as she corners COMPLETELY flat, yet is comfortable enough to
take my 70-year old mother for a drive.
The Long Version:
Ah- The E30 M3!
A car that you literally want to live in! Once you start driving you just want to keep going forever.
This particular car was setup to be reliable and drive as tight as possible while still being comfortable on
typical city roads.
Originally I had big plans to turn her into a replica, Group A BTCC track car, but had so many other projects
always going on that I never wanted to rip apart my beloved M3. As mentioned on Wikipedia & Top Gear (S03E02), this
is THE most successful road-going race car EVER!
Personally, I think it's a bit sad the current trend of meticulously restoring these cars and turning them into
museum pieces. The original S14 engine in this car needs to be heard at race tracks for generation after generation
so car enthusiasts never forget the sound of what many consider the best car ever built! The handling differences
between a stock M3 and one with a stiffer coil-over suspension / proper setup & damper adjustments is absolutely
NIGHT and DAY!
Suspension upgrades make this car handle completely flat through the turns while still being soft enough to take my
mom for rides. Remember: this is The Ultimate DRIVING Machine, not the Ultimate Original Condition Machine. Haha!
;-)
Completely clean chassis / CarFax / AutoCheck! No accidents or repairs! All maintenance was done with OEM parts by
the best BMW mechanic in WI. That includes:
- Main Seals,
- Main Bearings,
- Rebalanced Crankshaft
- New Rod Bearings, Cam Bearings
- New Slave Cylinder
- New Timing Chain, Timing Rail, and all other important bits.
Revs and runs like it's still 1989!!
Her name is Lily, but I'm sure she'd be OK with you renaming her ;-) I've had her for almost 15-years and it's been
an amazing journey, but now it's time to sell her and move onto the next chapter of life. It's important for me
that she goes to a good home; somebody who will drive her and baby her; not let her sit year after year.

Honda scores big in Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards [w/videos]
Wed, 15 Jan 2014This year the Detroit Auto Show didn't just celebrate the automobile, it celebrated how we find out about the automobile, too. Partnering The One Club, this year introduced the 2014 One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Award to Cobo Hall, celebrating winners in five different categories of advertising: broadcast television, online, interactive, experiential, and print/outdoor. Winners in those categories were judged by 50 creative directors and journalists, while a Public Choice category was chosen from among nearly 20,000 online votes.
Honda walked off with three of the six awards, its Hands spot taking Broadcast honors, its Sound of Honda getting the Online category and Illusions winning Public Choice. Hyundai made the grade in Interactive with Driveway Decision Maker, Fiat captured Print/Outdoor with its "Letters" ad, and Toyota's Tundra Endeavor Campaign spot and BMW's A Window into the Near Future were co-winners for Experiential.
You can watch all of the press release and winning videos below or check out all of the finalists, announced last month, for a refresher.
BMW wants to expand DriveNow carsharing program to 25 new cities
Wed, Mar 12 2014Daimler's Car2go car-sharing service just announced that it will debut in Rome, its 26th global city. Now, BMW says it wants to expand its own carsharing program to, wait for it, 25 more cities. Coincidence? We think not. BMW is looking to bring its DriveNow carsharing program, with its Mini Coopers and 1 Series, to as many as 15 new cities in Europe as well as 10 in the US, Bloomberg News says, citing comments BMW executive Peter Schwarzenbauer made at the Geneva Motor Show last week. The service is now operational in Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Munich, Dusseldorf and San Francisco and serves about a quarter-million people. Of course, it's that last city, where DriveNow started operations in August 2012, that's been somewhat problematic. San Francisco has tough guidelines when it comes to where the cars can be parked, with so few public parking areas to choose from. DriveNow charges $39 for membership in San Francisco, then $12 for the first half hour of driving and 32 cents for each additional minute. DriveNow competes directly against Car2go, which charges around $25 to become a member and then 41 cents a minute to rent a Smart ForTwo.
BMW increases i3 price by $1,075 for 2015
Thu, Jan 29 2015The BMW i3 did well in its first year on the market, selling 6,02 units in the US and 16,052 units worldwide. For 2015, it gets total price increase of $1,075, partially reflecting new standard equipment that was formerly an option and a bump in its destination cost. The 2014 starting price of $41,350 becomes $42,400 for 2015, an extra $1,050, and the destination increase of $25 to $950 makes the out-the-door price $43,350. The range-extended model goes up by the same amount, from $45,200 last year to $46,250 this year. After destination, it's $47,200 out the door. For 2015, DC Fast Charging is included, no longer a $700 option, thanks to the expansion of the fast-charging network through a collaboration between BMW, Volkswagen and Chargepoint. Beyond that, satellite radio and heated seats migrate to the standard features list. We have a feeling none of this will hurt the plug-in car's sales momentum this year.
