Up for Auction is a 1997 BMW M3. This is the best combo and most desired set up for a E36- Black on Black Coupe 5 Speed Manual transmission. Very hard to find Combo. 

Nice options including Cold weather package. Heated seats, fold down seats. Sunroof, power windows/ Locks, CD Changer in trunk. Original Radio etc in great shape.

The Engine and Transmission are Solid, Just did a Tune Up on her to include New NGK Spark Plugs, Fresh Mobil-1 Synthetic Oil Change and New Differential Fluid.
Car drives straight does not pull, no vibrations or shaking in the steering. Very peppy and precise shifting. 
This Car loves to take turns and hugs the road. I believe the previous owner put a upgraded front sway bar. This car is a absolute blast to drive. 
I noticed very minor rear road noise possibly from the performance tires which is what I was told. Was told clutch might need to be replaced in future but currently does not effect driving the vehicle as it seems to shift fine. Also the Airbag light is on which is almost a given on a E36 because it is such a common issue- look on the BMW forums its usually something minor like a seat belt or a sensor but I have not looked into it because my mechanic did not have the scanner to read it. 

Tires have alot of life left and look very new and brakes perform good.

Upgraded tint 35% on sides and 20% rear window

Interior good shape for age. Exterior average with wear and tear associated with a vehicle of its age. (see condition description)

Will be Sold AS-IS

VIn tag stickers on Hood, Fender, Doors. It has a Clean Carfax report which reports no accidents. Clean Title

2015 will be the biggest year ever for cars at CES

Fri, Jan 2 2015

Like the SEMA Show, major automakers are paying increasing attention to the CES, with 2015 expected to be one of the most auto focused yet. Ford, Volkswagen, Toyota, General Motors, Hyundai, Mazda, Audi, BMW and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will all be in attendance when CES 2015 kicks off next week, taking up a record-breaking 165,000 square feet of space at the Las Vegas Convention Center. "We've come a long way from a single car on a carpet," Ford's Alan Hall told Bloomberg. Unlike SEMA, or a more traditional auto show, like the upcoming festivities in Detroit, CES doesn't necessarily focus on entire cars or the way they perform, but on the way our technology will interact with vehicles, and in how those vehicles will deliver information to drivers. "CES has become a major launch point for a lot of the big automakers," IHS tech analyst Mark Boyadjis told Bloomberg. "CES is a way for them to get on a global stage for technology." As for what kind of wares automakers will trot out in Las Vegas, we already know that BMW will show off an autonomous i3 electric car that can navigate its way through a multistory car park and can be hailed via a smartwatch app. According to Bloomberg, Hyundai will show off its own smartwatch app for the Genesis sedan, while Audi and Mercedes-Benz will show off autonomous vehicles next week. Automakers won't be the only companies looking to capitalize on CES. Tech firms, like chipmaker Nvidia, are becoming increasingly involved in the automotive game and will be in town showing their wares off to OEMs. "Two years ago, our booth would have been filled with PCs and people playing video games," Danny Shapiro, Nvidia's senior director for automotive business, told Bloomberg. "This year we made a strategic decision to shift the focus of the booth on automotive and de-prioritize some of the other things." Needless to say, you can expect to see a lot of news out of Las Vegas come next week. Stay tuned.

Bryant Gumbel and Katie Couric equate BMW i3 with the Internet

Mon, Jan 26 2015

BMW 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:

Lil Wayne's daughter gifted Ferrari GTO, BMW X4 for 16th birthday [w/video]

Thu, Dec 4 2014

It must be nice to have ludicrously rich parents. Rapper Lil' Wayne's daughter Reginae recently celebrated her 16th birthday with a huge party in Atlanta. Where many teens would be overjoyed just to get a family hand-me-down for a first car, the rapper's daughter got two brand-new vehicles – a BMW X4 and a Ferrari 599 GTO. The X4 would certainly be extravagant by itself, but it's not totally without precedent. Anyone who watched even a snippet of MTV's old show My Super Sweet 16, probably saw a few vehicles that were just as expensive. However, the concept of any newly licensed teen behind the wheel of a Ferrari is absolutely terrifying to us. This one is even crazier, with 661 horsepower and a chassis capable of lapping Ferrari's Fiorano test track quicker than an Enzo. Of course, with just 599 built, Reginae could probably just park the coupe and let it appreciate enough to finance her next big party. The BMW is reportedly going to be her daily driver, anyway. According to TMZ, Reginae's mother and stepfather bought her the Ferrari with Lil' Wayne's blessing. They believe their daughter can handle the 599 GTO, which shows some serious – if misguided – trust. Check out the video below to see the cars and her party.
