Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Very good condition. Paint shows normal stone pits and minor scratching. There is a small crease on the passenger front fender (deer strike) and some small door dings. One of the side skirts has a deep scratch about 1" long. The wood veneer on the center console cracked in several places but still looks OK."
I'm selling my 1996 M3, Cosmos Black with black leather and 155,000 miles with 5 speed manual. This is a luxury package car which means sport seats, some wood and chrome trim, and non-twisty side skirts. I am the second owner, having bought this car Certified Pre-Owned back in January 1999; I've owned this car for over 14 years and have maintained it very well.
The car is mechanically in excellent condition. Everything works like it should with the single exception of the sunroof tilt feature; that still tilts, but the inside panel isn't moving with it so it won't vent; this started after I replaced the headliner and I assume I forgot to hook something up. It's probably an easy fix but I haven't found the time to fix it.
Mods are very limited: Koni SA shocks, Powerflex control arm bushings front and rear, VDO Gauges (Oil Pressure, Oil Temperature, Volts), HID Low Beams in glass lenses (can't remember which brand - been too long), keyless entry, Euro wiper control module (sets intermittent wiper interval), BSW Speakers front and rear (Stage 2), OMP aluminum pedal covers, and I modified the stock radio to accept an iPod, etc. via an auxiliary cable that comes out of the center console.
The car does have a 6 CD changer, but I removed it from the trunk to make more room. It will be included in the sale.
The interior including the leather seats are in above average condition. There is very little bolster wear and no rips or tears. I have religiously treated the leather since I have owned the car. There is a worn spot on the steering wheel that was there when I bought the car and the wood on the center console is cracked in two spots. On the exterior, there are what I would call normal paint chips and scratches, and several small parking lot dings. There is a crease on the passenger front fender where I hit a deer last year.
Recent mechanical work: I replaced the clutch at 135,000 miles, and the starter and rear shock mounts at 150,000 miles. I have always run Mobil 1 in the engine. It burns about a quart of oil every 1,000 miles which BMW calls normal. I have all the maintenance records that I have kept in a book and most of the receipts. All preventative maintenance is up to date.
Tires: The rears are nearly new Continental Extreme Contact DWS and have plenty of tread left. The fronts are Dunlop SP Sport Signatures.
Clean title in hand, all keys (Lighted Key, Spare Key, Valet Key, Wallet key)

BMW 2 Series Active Tourer corners surprisingly flat on 'Ring
Mon, 07 Jul 2014With seven seats and front-wheel drive, you might not expect the upcoming long-wheelbase version of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer to live up to the Ultimate Driving Machine reputation that BMW has fostered over the years. But the latest spy clip from the Nürburgring suggests otherwise.
The Bavarian automaker has apparently been testing its new people mover on the Nordschleife, getting it ready to join the growing 2 Series family. And though it's wearing heavy camouflage, we can clearly see from the video below that it's cornering impressively flat - which bodes well for those who'll need to transport their expanding family but aren't prepared to give up on handling.
2015 Green Car Of The Year finalists announced, run alt-fuel gamut
Tue, Oct 21 2014The 2015 edition of the Green Car of the Year award is following right in the footsteps of previous years with a variety of alt-fuel powertrains making the just-announced finalists list. You've got your plug-in vehicle (the BMW i3), your compressed natural gas (the Chevy Impala Bi-Fuel), your high-efficiency diesel (the Audi A3 TDI), your 40+ mile-per-gallon gas engine (the Honda Fit) and, finally, a car that can do a little bit of everything (the VW Golf). The Golf is available – at least in some parts of the US – with three different powertrains: a 2.0-liter diesel, a gasoline engine and all-electric drive. The Impala can burn either natural gas or gasoline in its 3.6-liter engine. The A3 is an efficiency champ, able to get 73.5 mpg on some European tests. The i3 can be a pure electric vehicle or come with a short range extending engine. And the Fit brings 41 miles to the gallon in a practical, affordable package. The GCOY award is announced every year at the Los Angeles Auto Show by Green Car Journal. The committee doesn't just take the fuel-saving technology into account, but also a vehicle's "availability to the mass market." Last year, the Honda Accord Hybrid/Plug-In Hybrid won top honors, following up on wins from the Ford Fusion models (plug-in hybrid and hybrid) for 2013, the Honda Civic Natural Gas for 2012 and the Chevrolet Volt for 2011. FINALISTS ANNOUNCED FOR 2015 "GREEN CAR OF THE YEAR"" Green Car Journal to Reveal Winner of 10th Annual Award at LA Auto Show" Press & Trade Days, November 20 LOS ANGELES, CA (October 21, 2014) – Green Car Journal has announced its five finalists for the magazine's high-profile 2015 Green Car of the Year® program. The 2015 models include the Audi A3 TDI, BMW i3, Chevrolet Impala Bi-Fuel, Honda Fit, and VW Golf. The Green Car of the Year® award, an honor widely recognized as the auto industry's most important environmental accolade, celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. An increasing number of vehicle models are considered for the Green Car of the Year® program each year, a reflection of the auto industry's expanding efforts in offering new vehicles with higher efficiency and improved environmental impact. Green Car Journal has been honoring the most important "green" vehicles every year at the LA Auto Show, since its inaugural award announced at the show in 2005.
