Car is located in Indiana PA. For sale is a 1995 bmw 325i that has been completely swapped over to M3 specs or above. It has a 99 3.2l bottom end with 123,000 miles on it with obd1and M50 manifold on top. It has afe 3.5 intake attached to 3.5" HFM and the samco 3.5 to 3" boot. It has a cometic MLS head gasket, ARP head studs, schrick 256 264 cams, 255 lph fuel pump with 24lb blue top injectors, bav auto obd1 coil packs, Epic valve springs, 413 red label dme, aluminum radiator, E34 M5 clutch upgrade with grip force flywheel. The car has no issues mechanically and is driven almost daily. The suspension has all been swapped over to M3 parts along with the brakes. It has M3 side skirts, front bumper, side mirrors, badges, door sills, floor mats (brand new), instrument cluster.  Rear bumper is 325i.  The car was dynod at over 230 rwhp before the intake system and uuc underdrive pulleys were installed. The brakes are great, the suspension has no issues and performs even better than my low mileage 1997 M3 I used to own.  It has new struts, shocks, motor and transmission mounts, front control arms, new M front spindles and hubs/bearings, M3 sway bars, mounts, and ends installed within the last 10K miles.  Rear sub frame and trailing arms were swapped from another car and have rebuilt r tabs, bushings, and mounts.  The car also has front strut mount and rear subframe mount reinforcement plates welded on. It has M rear axles.  It has a Euro M3 instrument cluster and comes with a us spec M3 stock one also. The front seats are 325i sport seats, not M3 seats. Rear are M3 seats. It has a 5 speed Zf transmission (stronger). The paint is good and catches eyes from 10 feet away but has probably 8 dings when you get real close and some scratches that show up close. The car is rust free as it lived most of its life in Virginia. Interior carpet is not great but looks ok.  With a little tlc this car could be about perfect and it pulls like a train to redline. The vin will confirm that it is not an M3 but a 325i but all that means is cheaper insurance. A stock m3 is anemic by comparison.  I owned a 97 M3 and this car is a different animal.  It idles at around 900 rpms which I hardly notice and has good road manners putting around town.  At 4K rpms the car takes off.  Its a jekyll and hyde above and below 4K rpms. The car also has a UUC cup holder that holds large beverages securely, UUC underdrive pulleys, and comes with a UUC  short shift kit with dssr that are brand new, in the box, included with car.  The AC works as it should and it has Nitto invo sport tires with lots of life left.

The passenger side rear door lock is lazy sometimes.  The passenger front seat electric recline button does not function properly, it moves up and back but doesn't recline.  I pictured a repair on the driver side door where the rubber weather stripping is that was done poorly.  The interior driver door is missing the weather stripping, it doesn't affect operation but should be replaced as it limits road noise.  The center clip holding on the driver side skirt needs replaced.  It can be done with a screwdriver and your hand but I don't have a clip.  I tried to picture the overall condition of the paint. It has some scratches and wear and up close you can see its not new paint.  The hood and front bumper were repainted and look good and match.  The car will tell you coolant is low because it has a metal coolant reservoir the car does not recognize and sometimes the computer tells your the low beams had a failure but they always work.  If the car sits idling in traffic for an extended period on a hot day the check engine light will come on.  Hasn't come on for a while because 90 degree temperatures have left but it will.  I have been told this is because of the overlap in the cam running hotter and it will kill the o2 sensor quicker.  As soon as you turn the car off it clears the check engine light.  I've driven the car daily and have had no mechanical issues.  This car would run anywhere, anytime with stock reliability.  The E36 straight 6 engines are known for there reliability and durability.    724 541-2655

Fore! Pro golfers race BMW i8 against a golf cart

Sat, Jun 28 2014

You wouldn't think a couple of pro golfers racing a golf cart along a nice green course would get the blood pumping. But throw in a BMW i8 plug-in hybrid and things get at least a little more interesting. At least, that's what the German automaker is hoping for. Bimmer is swinging big with a cross-promotional video featuring two pairs of golfers racing plug-in vehicles at the 2014 BMW International Open golf tournament in Koln, Germany. Two of the golfers take your run-of-the-mill golf cart while the other two take a slightly more powerful BMW i8, with the goal to get to the course's "halfway house" first. The race, among other things, sends jackrabbits scurrying and shows off the i8's really cool doors and racy styling. The odd part – "spoiler" alert – is that the golf cart wins the race by taking a short cut through the course despite the fact that the i8 pairs a 231-horsepower turbocharged engine with a 131-horsepower electric motor. It's probably not exactly the message of high-speed performance BMW wants to convey but it would raise eyebrows if this weren't all a silly stunt. Check out the three-minute video below and then read our i8 First Drive impressions here.

Recharge Wrap-up: E15 could help smog woes, MPG average at all-time high

Fri, Sep 5 2014

A new study shows that using an E15 blend instead of regular gasoline would reduce smog in Chicago. Increasing the availability of the 15-percent ethanol blend could help reduce carcinogenic air pollution and improve air quality, particularly on the city's South Side. The study found that E15 reduces the risk of cancer by 6.6 percent. It also reduces greenhouse gas emissions 1.5 percent compared to a 10-percent ethanol blend. Read more at Domestic Fuel.

The school's Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI) used the window sticker ratings of the vehicles to reach that number for the month of August. That's 0.2 mpg higher than July, and 5.7 mpg higher than October 2007, when UMTRI began recording the data. The group also found that average emissions per driver are down by 22 percent since October 2007. Read more at Green Car Congress.

Porsche 911 Turbo and Nissan GT-R Nismo star in World's Greatest Drag Race 4

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

We love Motor Trend's annual World's Greatest Drag Race video. Now back for its fourth appearance, the idea of lining some of the world's fastest cars up for a ten-wide, straight-line, full-throttle run is, well... it's pretty freaking badass.
The lineup this year boasts some impressively fast cars to be sure. The group of ten includes the following darlings: Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI and, last but not least, the Volkswagen GTI. Give us any one of those for the weekend, and we're happy to take the keys.
It must be said though, that for a publication that draws as much water as Motor Trend does, there are some big cars that we might expect to be here instead. The Lamborghini Huracán or Ferrari 458 Speciale would have added some exotic flare to the list, and the omissions of the Chevy Corvette Stingray (for the second year in a row) and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat are real head-scratchers.
