VEHICLE RELISTED - Buyer had second thoughts on buying car he had never seen before so I returned deposit to him and canceled the deal. I can understand his situation, but please do not bid on vehicle if you are not serious about purchasing.

This is a very clean 1997 BMW M3 with vader seats, 11-button OBC, fresh oil change and comes with stock E36 wheels and BBS replicas (Currently on car). Car is in great condition and very clean considering it is a 1997. Recently the headliner, radiator, and radiator fan clutch have been replaced. New brake pads and rotors in the front due to warped rotor (previous owner put on cheap slotted rotors). Rear brakes are in good shape. Paint is in good condition. Minor blemish near front right fog lamp (small debris must have popped up and scraped paint while driving. I am not in a rush to sale this car, but I will entertain reasonable offers. I relocated back to Nashville from LA (car was shipped back, not driven) and would like to get a bigger vehicle at this point. Car is fun to drive and never been tracked. Please email me with any questions on the car.

I realized that the questions and answers from the original ad here on eBay are not posted here. Wanted to get them copy and pasted here for additional info about this M3:

Q:	Nice looking M3! A couple of questions: Has the car been smoked in (very important)? What kind of suspension is on the car? Does the car have 2 kinds of wheels or am I just mistaken? Are any check engine or codes being thrown on the dash or check control screen? Condition of the headliner? Many thanks.	Aug-10-14
A:	Thanks for your interest. Car has never been smoked in. Konis suspension on the car. 2 sets of wheels come with the car, stock set and BBS reps. No check engine lights or codes. Headliner was replaced last year except for cover on sunroof which is still holding up.
Q:	Hi, i have a few questions. Does the A/C work? Does the power steering pump leak? Have you had any issues with the rear shock towers breaking? Have you ever replaced the shocks and struts? Do you have the maintenance records? Are the spare wheels staggered or all one size? Are they mounted with tires? Condition? Thanks, I am very interested in the car.	Aug-10-14
A:	A/C works great. The HVAC blower was replaced shortly after I bought the car. No issues with the power steering pump that I am aware of. Rear shock towers are good. Previous owner had koni's installed on all 4 corners. Spare wheels are staggered. I will include all maintenance records that I have with the car. Previous owner gave me everything he had regarding maintenance records. Some of which goes back to the original owner. Plus I have some additional parts (OEM kidney grilles, taillights and turn signal lamps to name a few) and I will be including with the car. Stock wheels have tires, but the tires will need to be replaced before too long. Tires on BBS replicas are in good condition, only have about 10000 miles on them at the very most.
Q:	Any issues with the car? How's the paint?	Aug-09-14
A:	Thanks for your interest in the car. Only issues regarding the car that I am aware of are some burned out pixels in the OBC (a typical issue with the OBC on the e36) and occasionally some speakers cut in and out. The original owner had an aftermarket radio installed in the trunk of car. I was told by the person I purchased the car from that he was a lawyer in Northern California and had a sound system installed for classical music... seemed strange in my book, but to each his own. I am a bit of a purist, so the first thing I did was have an audio shop in LA take it out of the trunk. Ever since then, the speaker wiring seems to have a bit of trouble from time to time. As for the paint it seems to be in great shape for a 1997. I had the car detail earlier this year and I was amazed at how good the car looked. On the front right corner near the fog lamp there is a spot where something must have popped up while driving and put a minor spot on the car. Aside from that nothing out of the ordinary other than what you would expect for a 1997. I go back and forth on even wanting to sell this car, but if I do I will probably get another e36 somewhere down the line. I had an e46 m3 prior to this one and although that is still my favorite body style of m3, I can say without question I have enjoyed driving this e36 much more. Please let me know if you have any more questions.

2015 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe

Fri, 06 Jun 2014

It's hard to say what a coupe is anymore. Is it merely a car with two doors? Does it have to have an arching roofline? Do frameless windows count for anything? Can a five-door hatchback or even an SUV be a coupe? At some point in the last few years, nearly everything we thought made a coupe a coupe has been challenged by something that calls itself a coupe, but to most people isn't. Our friends at BMW have led most of this line of questioning.
The new 2015 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe is one of the latest Bimmers to challenge the moniker (which also challenges the idea of "Gran," for that matter), and unlike some of its other "coupe" variations - we're looking at you, X6 - this one is a pretty one. The 4 Series Gran Coupe is essentially a four-door version of the 4 Series, which is itself a two-door version of the 3 Series. Huh? Wouldn't that simply make it another 3 Series? Of course, but this one is prettier, as it uses the 4's sexier body styling, with its lower nose, wider-looking stance and edgier lighting graphics. It is also technically a five-door hatchback, not a sedan per se, and it utilizes frameless side door glass, which apparently does count for something in BMW coupe-land. Significantly, the 4 Gran Coupe's wheelbase is identical to the two-door; if it was longer - as is the case with the 3 Series and 5 Series hatchbacks - that might make it a "Gran Turismo." Confused yet?
We recently got our first chance to drive the 4 Series Gran Coupe at a press launch in Spain, and while the only version we were given was a rear-drive 428i Gran Coupe with the M Sport contents, the harrowing roads around Bilbao gave us a good idea of what this car is all about from a driving dynamics standpoint. Here's some of what we found:

BMW M4 spied in coupe and convertible form

Thu, 29 Aug 2013

From the sound of it, we'll have to wait until the Detroit Auto Show to see the production version of the BMW M4, but spy shots show the new hi-po BMW testing recently in both coupe and convertible form. Showing a lot more skin than recent spy shots, these M4 prototypes look very similar to the M4 Concept we saw at Pebble Beach.
Carryovers from the concept car include the funky mirrors, bulging hood and the slotted front fascia vents, but the rear fascia seems to be missing the added flair of the concept and, as expected, the carbon fiber front splitter and exhaust tips are also missing from these M4s. Like the current M3 Convertible, the drop-top version of the M4 will utilize a retractable hard top.

2016 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance: It's all in the details

Mon, Aug 22 2016

It's no secret that Pebble Beach is an ode to gorgeous, and mostly, classic cars. The car show may be a place for automakers to showcase extremely expensive cars to wealthy buyers, but it's also one of the go-to places for enthusiasts that love automobiles and culture. While it's easy to be overwhelmed by the overall beauty of a car, the real magic often needs closer inspection to be realized. Every car at Pebble Beach is a work of art, but the true beauty of the vehicles lies in the details. And Autoblog's photographer, Drew Phillips, managed to capture the details on some gorgeous cars. From the Lamborghini Miura's exquisite steering wheel to Rolls-Royce's Spirit of Ecstasy, it's all at Pebble Beach. We think the details on some of the cars are prettier than the cars themselves, but don't take our word for it. Check out the beautiful gallery above and enjoy the tiny bits and pieces behind some of the prettiest cars in the world.
