1995 Bmw M3 Base Coupe 2-door 3.0l on 2040-cars
Vail, Arizona, United States

NO RESERVE. This car has been my project car since August of 2011. I like rebuilding cars. This car was in good mechanical condition, but was in sorry cosmetic shape, it is beautiful inside and out now. The list of work I have done fills many, many, posts on M3F. I know what I am doing, and I do it right, I have the means and I enjoy doing the work. The suspension has been completely rebuilt (finished March 2013) with all OEM rubber and every AKG reinforcement there is (RTABS, Rear Sway, Motor mounts). She rides on Koni SA and HR OE Sports. This is the BEST street suspension setup for the car. You can spend lots of money on coil overs but unless you are ready for near professional racing you probably can't do better. You will not have to spend a dime on the suspension for the next several years. The tires have less than 10K miles on them. The AC blows very cold. The only niggling problem is the dreaded seat belt sensor light from the SRS. I replaced the sensor with a brand new one and problem persists. The light goes out after a minute or so. I chased it down for a few hours and after reading around the M3 forums about people that have had this particular demon for years I let it go. I don't really believe 20 year old airbags are going to function properly anyway. (I work with explosives for a living and have good reason to question this) I have not had a CEL in the last 18 months. The engine runs great and the leak down numbers are all less than 3%. I was shocked at how low they were. The cooling system was completely rebuilt in 2011, including VSL Rad,Stewart Pump and all new hoses. The engine exhales through AA headers (not cheap e-bay knockoffs) Turner hi-flow cats and AA cat back exhaust. The valve cover has been powder coated. She has a Euro intake box with 3.5" MAF with Dinan tune. Headlights are glass euro bosch units. The biggest problem with the car is the odometer, it read 203K miles. I expect the car to go much further. I have committed to buying a Lotus Elise so my M3 has to go. |

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.
Bangle urges auto design shakeup, says industry not innovating
Fri, 30 Aug 2013Controversial designer Chris Bangle, the man behind the notorious E65 BMW 7-Series "Bangle Butt," has some rather sharp criticism for the current crop of automotive designers in an upcoming full-length interview with Automotive News Europe. The preview, posted on Automotive News, details parts of the interview, with the always vocal Bangle lamenting the state of modern automotive design.
"Even concept cars today simply anticipate the next production model coming down the line. Is this innovation? No. And at the end of the day this is what's preventing car design from moving into a new era." Controversial as Bangle's design philosophy may be, we can't help but think he has a point. His so-called "flame surfacing" at BMW and other stylistic elements had a huge influence on modern automotive design, although as the years have passed, there hasn't been much innovation on the same scale.
Interestingly, Bangle also mentions that he's been courted by a few manufacturers that wanted to install the American as the head of their design teams. He's flatly rejected them, telling ANE, "It's not something you can do part time, you have to do it with all your heart and soul or you're going to get it wrong."
Translogic 153: 2015 BMW i8
Mon, 30 Jun 2014The 2015 BMW i8 is the second model in the Bavarian automaker's eco-friendly i-branded lineup. The i8's plug-in hybrid powertrain combines a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine with a 96-kilowatt electric motor to make 357 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. Together, this gas-electric mechanical duo is capable of propelling the groundbreaking carbon-fiber sports coupe from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 4.2 seconds.
