Hello there, I have a 1996 E36 M3 for sale that is in fantastic condition! The car has only had a few owners, one of which was a former Stanford student and her father who is an auto enthusiast. I'm putting her up for sale because I plan on moving soon and won't have the garage space for the car and I don't want to leave it on the street or exposed to the weather. I have not been using this as my daily driver. It's been my weekend nice-weather fun car and when not in use, it sits in a fully covered garage (4 walls and a roof). It's mostly stock except for the 1900 ground control suspension system and a lightweight M5 clutch and flywheel that was installed by the previous owner. I guess he intended for the car to be his track car but never got around to actually doing it. When I bought it, he had a SPAL high performance electric fan kit that IS NOT installed that he gave me. I still haven't installed it (and never intended to) so I can include it with the purchase of the car. After I bought it and had it inspected, I put 1500 into it to fix the following at Strictly BMW in Bellevue: Replaced drive belts and pulleys Replaced valve cover gasket and 6 spark plug boots Replaced pedal travel sensor for ABS (to fix ABS warning light being displayed on dash). The previous owner has replaced/repaired: At 104,758 miles, replaced clutch/flywheel with M5 one, Install short shifter kit, changed transmission/engine/differential lubrication, replaced air boot. On 11/02/2010, the timing chain, guides, and tensioners were all replaced. Also, the VANOS unit was rebuilt. New tires as of 92,000 miles. New front brake pads and rotors at 95,000 miles. Coolant expansion tank replaced at 100,231. and the service records that show all this are included too. Like I mentioned earlier, this car has not been destroyed by a dumb 17 year old living out fast and the furious fantasies. Because the E36's have pretty much bottomed out in price, it's really hard to find one that isn't all messed up with stupid sound systems and ugly rims. It's been owned by adults with the exception of the Stanford student who just used it as her daily commuter. It's condition reflects the extra care it's been given.

Dinan S3-R BMW 1M Coupe

Wed, 02 Apr 2014

I nearly shed tears a few years ago upon learning that BMW was only planning to produce a very limited quantity of its then-new 2011 1 Series M Coupe. In simplest terms, the two-door was a 1 Series fitted with a modified version of the automaker's twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six, and the running gear (gearbox, driveshaft, axles) from contemporary M3 models. It was also a return to form for the brand. Aggressively short and stubby in stature but packing telltale flared wheel arches that hinted at its potential, the four-seater was a spiritual successor to the original (and much loved) E30 M3 from decades earlier.
After spending a day with the original high-performance 1 at New York's Monticello Motor Club, I declared, "The little coupe with the big flares is old-school retro cool and deliciously fun to drive ... the new BMW 1 Series M Coupe doesn't target boy-racers, it targets enthusiasts." Yet sadly - and despite strong demand - BMW limited the model's production to just one year. All told, only 740 units made it to the States, and each was gobbled up at a starting price of $46,135, a price tag history will show to be a bargain.
Since I had little hope of even driving one again, I deliberately pushed all memories of BMW's 1 Series M Coupe from my mind - until my phone rang recently. On the other end was a representative from Dinan Engineering who wanted to know if I would be interested in driving the company's new S3-R BMW 1M. A quick Google search revealed it to be a heavily modified version of the discontinued 1 Series M Coupe. As if they needed an answer...

BMW will show Mini EV concept at Frankfurt

Wed, Aug 30 2017

A month ago, BMW announced that it would electrify all its brands and model lines, including the Mini hatchback. A forthcoming full-electric Mini will enter production in 2019 at the Mini plant in Oxford, England, where the production line would join a German-built electric drivetrain with a British-built body. BMW notes that this will happen exactly 60 years after the original Mini hit the streets. View 5 Photos As the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show is upon us, BMW has introduced the concept version of the aforementioned electric Mini. The manufacturer says the color scheme chosen for the concept matches the previous electrified Mini, the experimental Mini E of 2008. That car was produced in a trial run of 600 units, and it provided BMW with valuable data as it was developing the i3 model, currently on the market. The Mini Electric Concept is powered by a lithium-ion battery, but no numerical specifications or range figures have been announced. It will be interesting to see whether the driving fun inherent to Minis can be translated, as a battery electric vehicle will undoubtedly be heavier than a fossil-fuel hatchback. The closed front grille stands as testament for doing without pistons or a need for engine cooling.

2015 BMW i8 sets everyone's tongues wagging in Northern Michigan

Fri, 31 Oct 2014

Like few other cars we can remember, people want to talk about the 2015 BMW i8. Drive one, and you'll soon find out what we mean. They stop you at gas stations. They accost you in Walgreen's parking lots. They stream out of neighborhood bars, beers in hand.
At least, that was our experience this week during Autoblog's Technology of the Year testing. We had the pleasure of driving the plug-in hybrid BMW sports car up to and around Petoskey, MI, a resort town where seeing such exotics is rare enough, let alone in the off season. It made for some interesting conversations - so we began writing down some of the comments the butterfly-doored coupe inspired. Here's a sampling:
"Wanna race for pinks? I'll go easy on you." - Acne-covered teenage pizza delivery driver in a sad-looking Ford Taurus parked at a Valero gas station near Grayling (which incidentally didn't actually have gas).
