1995 Cosmos Black E36 Obdi(s50) Bmw M3 Base Coupe 2-door 3.0l on 2040-cars
Dupont, Washington, United States

Hello fellow enthusiasts/E-bay surfers, I'm
putting my prized OBDI E36 M3 up for sale for the sole reason that I am
moving to Germany in 3 months and I cannot take it with me. That is
also the reason I am asking for such a low price, because I don't have
much time haggle prices. Shoot me an offer! Runs and drives like a dream, and the exterior is in amazing condition, especially for it's age! Just a few minor chips and scratches. Nothing major, all from age and previous owners. No missing parts. Surprisingly well kept leather interior all around. The driver seat is pretty much the only seat that shows age wear and it's not by much. The last owner ran a garage, so he had everything he needed to take really great care of it. I am the third owner and I have put just as much pride into the M3 as the previous ones. For most of the time I've owned it, it has been stored in the
garage when not driven. It was at 218,XXX miles when I bought it. It is currently at 233,107 miles and well maintained and kept.
Obviously being almost 2 decades old took it's naturally expected toll
on a handful of the OEM parts and workings, so I did a few good system
overhauls and part replacement/upgrades! If anyone has any questions on
what OEM/aftermarket work and tuning has been performed please feel free
to ask. That being said I'll get into the pros and cons lists of my
baby. PROS: -New rear tires: 235/40ZR-17 Sumitomo HTR Z II (500 miles) (Super Grabby!) -UUC steel clutch line (3,XXX miles) -UUC delrin clutch pedal bushings (3,XXX miles) -Cross-drilled rotors (19, XXX miles) -Bilstein shocks from TMS (19,XXX miles) -New slave AND master clutch cylinders (3,XXX miles) -Radiator (5,XXX miles) -Water pump (5,XXX miles) -Alternator (5,XXX miles) -Fan Delete "Mod" (800 miles) -Low temp thermostat (800 miles) -Both belts and all pulley wheels (800 miles) -Euro Air Box w/ snorkel -Euro 3.5" MAF (10,XXX miles) -TMS engine chip (500 miles) -SSI Stealth Undershield -Euro clear corner lights, tail lights, and side markers -Stealth Auto's chromed light bulbs in all turn signals -Self made clutch stop -Euro Samco intake boot (500 miles) -New OEM hood shocks -Brand new OEM fog lights (glass) -Newer style BMW Badges (painted) for both hood AND trunk (no more pesky sticker emblems that chip away) -Recently replaced headlight control switch -Freshly painted valve cover (Flat Black/High Temp) -Heated/ Fully Automatic Seats -Automatic Sunroof -OEM Wood Interior Trim -Original BMW multi-disc CD changer w/ spare disc cartridges -All interior lights recently replaced, including odometer, radio, A/C controls, and OBD -I just removed all the old faded tint from probably 1995, so the windows are fresh and clear -A LOT of extra goodies come with it. -OEM Spare M-Contour Rim (no tire/never used) -Euro 3.5" Comforti C/F Intake -US Air Box -US MAF -Extra ///M badge -OEM Engine Fan -US intake boot(x2) -All original Manuals, window sticker, and leather bound BMW binder for all your paperwork CONS(not many): -Paint: just a few minor chips/scratches, nothing major -Driver seat release cable is broken at the very end, so it doesn't manually release forward. It has been this way since before i owned it. It's an easy fix, but I haven't had any need to get around to it. -JUST recently the passenger side window motor has decided to work when it wants to. The window only gets stuck up, not down. Super annoying, but all it needs is a new passenger window motor and it'll be fine. As far as shipping goes, buyer are responsible for pick up/transportation. If buyer is within a 150 mile radius, I am willing to arrange a meeting/drop-off. I can work with pretty much any mode of payment. Cash in hand is ALWAYS preferred though. |

BMW looking to fix i3 acceleration problem uncovered by Consumer Reports
Fri, 10 Oct 2014The BMW i3 has been hailed in some quarters as the future of electric mobility, what with its innovative carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic body and commitment to sustainable materials wherever possible. The modernist little hatch is even available with a 650cc two-cylinder gas engine with 34 horsepower to act as a range-extender for those who want it. However, that optional engine might have a drawback - at least for the moment.
Consumer Reports brought the problem to light when one of its drivers was behind the wheel of an i3 using the range-extender. When the driver attempted to pass another vehicle on a rolling, two-lane road, the BMW suddenly had no power to accelerate - a scary situation. CR started examining the car and found something pretty shocking: After driving at a constant speed for a while without any regenerative braking in range-extended mode, acceleration to 60 miles per hour plummeted from about 9 seconds normally to a staggering 27 to 40 seconds in their testing.
A BMW spokesperson told CR that it knows about the problem and has a fix coming next spring that also works on current models. The upgrade includes a state of charge indicator, a warning about loss of power and uses the car's navigation to boost the battery before driving on rolling terrain. It is not clear if the severe power deficiency will also eventually result in a recall.
Bryant Gumbel and Katie Couric equate BMW i3 with the Internet
Mon, Jan 26 2015BMW fancies its new i3 electric car as something revolutionary – which, to be entirely honest, it is. But while we as automotive enthusiasts might know this, the general populous may not, which is why the German company is shelling out what is no doubt a substantial sum of money for a spot during this year's Super Bowl. Starring former Today Show hosts Katie Couric and Bryant Gumbel, the spot, called Newfangled Idea, focuses on another arguably misunderstood technology – the Internet. Starting with a now-humorous segment from 1994 that sees the pair discussing the then-new idea of the Internet – what does "@" mean? – Katie and Bryant then find themselves in an i3, asking very similar questions. Take a look at the video, up top, and then scroll below for the outtakes and a short behind-the-scenes segment from the clip. Related Video:
Buy this Munro report, get a free BMW i3
Tue, Jan 13 2015Here's an offer we've never heard of: if you buy the Master- or OEM-level version of a detailed production and cost report on the BMW i3, the engineering firm that produced the report will give you a 'free' i3. Munro & Associates is the company behind the study and the offer, its comprehensive breakdown of the production realities involved in the i3 including a video of the disassembly process of the range-extended hybrid and a detailed analysis of every part therein - everything from fuse boxes to crossbar beams, headlights and the battery pack. You've only got a day to take advantage, though - the report has to be purchased by the time CEO Sandy Munro gives his talk, "Deconstructing the BMW I3: Groundbreaking Technology and the Composite Car," in Detroit Wednesday morning. The price of said report? That's "TBD," so head to the Munro site if you're tempted by the idea of a new car that comes with a trunk full of paperwork. We just hope they're not selling the i3 that they tear down. The press release below has more information. Munro to Give Away 2014 BMW i3 with Every Purchase of the Consulting Firm's Master Teardown Report When Purchased at Two Upcoming Detroit Events DETROIT, Jan. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Visitors to the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) during Preview Week often go home with a lot of swag and trinkets, but how about a $50,000 BMW i3? This year, a local engineering firm, Munro & Associates, is giving away a BMW i3 electric car with every purchase of the Master-/OEM-level version of its benchmarking study of this unique vehicle when purchased during NAIAS or the Plastics in Automotive Conference. The study, the most extensive of its kind, details the production and costs of every system in this carbon-fiber electric vehicle, which CEO Sandy Munro calls the most advanced vehicle on the planet. WHO: Munro & Associates, the global leader in manufacturing, costing and benchmarking. Using its proprietary advanced design, quality and costing software, Munro developed comprehensive reports on key vehicle systems and – for the first time – will offer the reports for general distribution. WHAT: A FREE 2014 BMW i3 for anyone who purchases the Master-/OEM-level report during Preview Week of NAIAS or during Sandy Munro's presentation at the Plastics in Automotive Conference.
