1995 Bmw M3, Turner Motorsports E36 Stage 2, Rust Free Fl Car on 2040-cars
Bradenton, Florida, United States
I’m offering up my 1995 E36 M3 on eBay for your
consideration today because I really don’t drive it as I had intended too. I
bought it last year from a true BMW fanatic in
When I was looking for an E36 M3 to buy, I looked at
several. This one stood out to me though, because it was obviously a car that
had been cared for, was enthisiest owned, and was a rust free While in my posession, I have serviced and maintained the car, replaced a few broken things and basically kept what the previous owner was doing, going. I will describe each area of the car in detail below. I’m sure I will miss something, so if after reading the entire description you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I am very honest in my descriptions and also very picky about my cars. So I note every little imperfection that other sellers may not. I do this so you know exactly what you’re looking at and it’s all out on the table with nothing hidden or held back.
If you’re looking for an honest, genuine E36 M3 of the right year, in the right colors with all the right mods, that you could get in and drive anywhere immediately this is the one for you! Body: This is an accident free car, with a clean Carfax. It was
originally purchased on the east cost of Interior: The interior of this car is amazing. It has manual “Vaders”, that most people seem to like. The dash has no cracks, the seats are all excellent. The door panels were replaced with brand new ones shortly before I purchased the car. The headliner has been replaced and is excellent. All gauges are clear and work as they should. It has an aftermarket Kenwood CD stereo installed with Bluetooth. The power sunroof works great. The carpets are all excellent. The interior is a very nice place to be. Engine: What can I say about the SB50 that hasn’t already been said? Beautiful smooth power all over the rev range. This one has been treated to a stage two Turner Motorsports tune with a Conforti chip, and Turner (aFe) intake. This one is both quiet and smooth, that is until you get on it and then she howls! It has the stock exhaust, so it’s quiet, but when you get it in the upper rev range, you hear the wonderful intake growl, it’s a beautiful thing.. The engine has no knocks, no ticks, no issues. Rock solid cooling system as well. It’s a 1995 model, so it’s an OBDI car. Transmission/clutch: This car has the stock 5 speed manual transmission in it. It shifts smooth with no noises or issues. It has a Turner Motorsports short shift kit installed which really improves the shift action over the stock setup. I do not know what make/model clutch is in the car, but suffice to say, it is very good. It bites hard, with no slip, and excellent pedal feel. Rear axle: The rear diff was replaced when under the care of the previous owner. It has been replaced with a Turner Motorsports E36 Diff upgrade, as well as a slightly shorter set of gears that really wake this car up. I can't quite remember what ratio he told me was in it (3:63 maybe?). Either way, it's a great upgrade that really wakes the car up! Suspension: Stock suspension setups on BMW’s are very good indeed, and unless the owner follows a proven route when modifying it, it can spoil the car completely. This car has what I think is the only suspension setup for the E36 that is an improvement over stock. It has Bilsteins all around, with H&R springs. It has also been treated to an “X”-brace. To say “It’s on rails” is to put it mildly. This thing is so direct and communicative it’s mind-blowing. Brakes: The brakes on this car where the only thing that needed immediate attention when I got it. They worked fine, but the front disks were worn and had begun to warp. So I replaced them with some quality aftermarket disks plus some new StopTech pads. She brakes strong and straight now. Tires: The tires are all matching Nexen N7000. They were installed shortly before I bought it, and I would estimate have about 7500 miles on them. So, they are all excellent. Needs: As with all older cars, it’s not new. The A/C would be the first thing that needs to be done on it. It holds a charge, but does not blow cold. A new compressor with clutch would fix it right up. The power windows both work, however the passenger side can get hung up if lowered beyond half way. This goes hand in hand with a rattle inside the passenger side door. I believe a clip or something has come loose and if retrieved and re-attached all would be well with the window and door. Also, the coolant level sensor is bad. As mentioned before, the cooling system is excellent, but the level sensor indicates to check the cooling system level when starting up and shutting off, Finally, I did not replace the wear sensors then I replaced the front pads, so the “ABS” light is always on. So, there you have it, the good and the bad about the car.
Anyone interested and within driving distance is more then welcome to come and
see it in person. Regarding the sale; I am not interested in trades, and will
only accept cash, or a cashiers check from a well known institution as payment.

A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]
Thu, Dec 18 2014Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.
Mini has become the Rover that BMW always wanted
Tue, Oct 27 2015BMW has been working for 20 years to build a successful line of British cars, and on the evidence of the second-generation Mini Clubman, it may have finally done it. That means it's time for all of us to get used to the fact that Minis aren't going to be that small anymore. Case in point is this new Mini Clubman, introduced last month and conspicuous by its size. Many of us who've pointed to BMW's stewardship of Mini as an example of retro done right bemoaned the Countryman subcompact SUV – a concept actually ahead of its time. The Coupe and Roadster, perhaps rightfully, deserved (and received) an eye roll. But now there's a so-called four-door hardtop that went on sale this year and this forthcoming, six-door Clubman that approaches the compact hatchback class in size. These vehicles actually look like practical moves at keeping buyers from defecting to larger cars made by someone else, rather than vain attempts at maximizing investment in a set of parts. And in an interesting twist, Mini is turning into one of its ancestors – minus the feeling of inevitable doom. Many of us were led to believe somewhere since Mini's relaunch about 15 years ago that the brand would be a stepping stone into the greater BMW fold. But in reality, it's done exactly the opposite, creating a parallel brand for those not willing to embrace the BMW image, but leaning heavily on British nostalgia. That was sort of the reasoning used when BMW pulled the Rover Group of England away from a fruitful partnership with Honda in 1994 and absorbed it all. In the consolidate-or-die '90s, it made sense. BMW had a small, but successful, line of sedans. Rover had no success outside of Western Europe (its last US attempt at selling cars, the Sterling, ended three years earlier). Yet its Land Rover line of SUVs was just right for the time and the 35-year-old Mini still had image-conscious clout. With every passing day, the brilliance of BMW's move to abandon Rover in 2000 seems brighter. Even ditching Land Rover made sense in the long run (and probably saved Jaguar in the process). With every passing day, the brilliance of BMW's move to abandon Rover in 2000 seems brighter. During a chat with Mini USA VP David Duncan this summer, it became clear the Mini of the past is probably gone. A small, city-sized Mini is not necessarily off the table, but larger and more profitable models are coming first.
Apple and BMW have been exploring partnerships on cars
Sun, Aug 2 2015Apple and BMW may eventually have more in common than just some features in your car's infotainment system. Sources for both Reuters and Manager Magazin understand that the two companies have had "exploratory talks," including a trip by Apple executives to Leipzig to see how BMW builds the i3. Apple reportedly likes that BMW rethought the conventional car manufacturing process for its electric vehicle, and might use what it learned to help make its own EV. While BMW claims that there aren't any active talks about jointly developing a car, a Reuters tipster hears that the firms may revive talks (not necessarily to co-produce a vehicle) later on. Not surprisingly, BMW is cautious about any deals. Research lead Klaus Froehlich says the doesn't want to "open [its] ecosystems" to a potential rival. However, it's hard to see the two avoiding each other when they could both use each other's help. Apple knows a lot about user interfaces and integrating mobile technology into cars, but it's a newcomer in creating the cars themselves – that's part of why it's hiring so many auto industry veterans. Meanwhile, BMW knows that it can only do so much to accommodate connected devices without collaborations. You probably won't see an Apple-designed Beemer or an Apple car with loads of BMW-sourced parts, but there's still lots of potential for the corporations to influence each other.
