The time has come to part ways with my Avus M3. I have always wanted one of these and found this one just over a year ago. The only reason I am selling is that I have a company car and this one unfortunately just sits in the garage. I have 5 cars in my driveway, a camper and a trailer. I just don’t need it sitting anymore and want to stop hearing my wife ask “Why do you have that car?” I am a BMW nut, have had over 14 and will never sell my ’76 2002. While this car is not a cream puff by any means, it has a lot of good points and is a lot of fun to drive. I wanted a car I wouldn’t be scared to daily drive to work, and did that until I was offered my company car.


The Good:

Clean TN title

Sunroof works smoothly in both tilt and all the way open

Windows that auto adjust when you open/close the doors works

A/C blows cold

Alpine CD player Rear speakers have been upgraded to 6x9s with aftermarket adapter plate.

Previous owner installed staggered M Contour wheels in 7.5s front and 8.5s rear

New Headliner

Rear 3.15 differential was replaced with a smoother 3.23 unit out of a later model E36 M3 - new Mobil 1 fluid was installed.

Parts replaced in the last year:

Front struts were replaced with brand new Koni Sports

Rear shocks were replaced with brand new Koni Sports

New RTAB bushings were installed along with UUC limiters

UUC Tuned Sport springs were installed. These are comparable to H&R Sports in stance and ride

New tie rods

Lower cross brace from a Z3 was installed

New rear shock mounts with upper shock reinforcements installed

New upper strut mount rubber

New front sway bar links

New Clutch pedal with UUC anti-squeak/rattle clutch pedal bushings.

New thermostat and water pump installed with metal blade. Metal thermostat housing installed.

Kadunza Motorsport custom engraved valve cover with ///M logo and then powdercoated by Renewed Finishes. This is a thing of beauty and dresses up the engine bay nicely. New valve cover gasket installed at time of installation.

New coolant expansion tank

New clutch arm

New UUC clutch arm bushings

New radiator hoses

New cabin filter

New reverse light switch

New M3 bumper lip

Regular Mobil 1 oil and filter changes

Michelin Pilot Sports front and rear. Fronts are 225/45ZR17 and rears are 245/40ZR17. Tires are still good, however the car has been sitting for a few months and need to be driven. If anything, these will need to be replaced somewhat soon. The rears have the typical lowered BMW edges wearing.


The bad:

No fog lights included. I was going to make fog light delete covers, but never got around to it. Fog light wiring is still there and switch on dash works.

Car does have 1 accident in the rear from its past. Rear was repaired well and it is hard to detect.

*****Read the following paragraph as I am fully disclosing everything about the car...

CAR DOES HAVE HAIL DAMAGE on hood, roof/sunroof and trunk lid. From 10’ away you wouldn’t see it and the paint shines up nicely. Up close you can definitely see the dings. The rest of this car is so clean, I didn’t let it bother me. A lot of the dings could be cleared up with PDR, or just do like I did and not even notice it from the driver’s seat! I tried to take photos of this but with the glare and shine it is hard to notice. I will try to add more photos later.

BMW says current M3 sold out, no new AWD M models planned

Mon, 06 May 2013

Car and Driver asked the head of BMW M, Friedrich Nitschke, a few questions about what the go-fast division had in mind for the future, and was rewarded with some enlightening answers. The best news to purist ears is that Nitschke said customers don't want all-wheel drive on their M cars, so it's the rear wheels alone that will propel new product into the future. If you want both an M badge and four driven wheels, it's the X5 M, X6 M and M Performance models you're looking for in the catalog.
"Mixed bag" is the phrase you're looking for regarding the other answers. Nitschke said that future M engines "at the core of their architecture" would "be closer to BMW AG engines" that are optimized for M cars, instead of following in the line of unique marvels like the V10 and naturally aspirated V8. They will keep the high redlines, however, with Nitschke saying "there is room beyond" the 7,000 rpm mark in BMW's current V8 turbos.
Managing weight will keep the same priority for M that it is for every other brand, so electrically assisted power steering is coming, as is an "unconventional" materials mix. At the smaller end of the M scale, Nitschke described three-cylinder engines as "attractive," saying that the brand can produce more than 310 horsepower from a three-pot.

Alpina D3 Bi-Turbo torquing its way toward Frankfurt

Mon, 09 Sep 2013

Few tuners benefit from the kind of factory support that Alpina does, giving the pseudo-aftermarket firm nearly as much official status as BMW's own M division. And this is its latest product.
Set to debut, as expected, at the Frankfurt Motor Show this week is the new Alpina D3 Bi-Turbo, which you can consider, for all intents and purposes, the diesel M3 that BMW never built. While the outgoing D3 (which was Alpina's best-selling model) used a four-cylinder engine, Autocar reports that the new model packs a 3.0-liter, twin-turbo inline-six diesel to drive a respectable 345 horsepower but a mammoth 516 pound-feet of torque to either the rear wheels or all four through the optional availability of xDrive. (European buyers will also be able to choose between sedan and wagon bodystyles.)
The engine is the same as you'd find in the XD3 and D5 (Alpina's diesel performance versions of the X3 and 5 Series, respectively), but in the lighter 3 Series form can propel the D3 Bi-Turbo up to 62 miles per hour in 4.6 seconds and on to an Autobahn-crunching top speed of 173 mph. And as per Alpina tradition, visual cues are minimal, with a subtly optimized aero kit and 19- or available 20-inch alloy wheels. Unfortunately, the 7 Series-based B7 is the only Alpina we get on this side of the Atlantic, but an oil-drenched performance enthusiast can dream.

The 2014 Alpina B4 Bi-Turbo Cabrio powers up luxury and speed

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

The BMW specialists at Alpina know how to exploit a niche when they see one. With the BMW M4 still not technically official, it saw the need for a higher performance four-seat convertible than the 435i 'vert. Enter the new B4 Bi-Turbo Cabrio that is debuting at the Geneva Motor Show.
The European-exclusive model takes BMW's 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged inline-6 and massages it up to 410 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque, which is less power but more twist than the M4 would give buyers. Alpina's tend to be built more as quick, luxurious grand tourers, and the B4 Bi-Turbo gets is no different with an adaptive sport suspension and an eight-speed automatic. Plus it wears the classic pinstripes and 21-spoke wheels that are the brand's design hallmarks.
While the added weight for the convertible means that the Cabrio takes 4.5 seconds to reach 62 miles per hour, about a half-second slower than the coupe, at the moment it is the only way to get this kind of performance in a BMW convertible. Orders for the convertible open in March in Europe and prices in Germany start at 74,800 euros ($102,878 at today's conversion rates).
