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

History of BMW touring cars looks splendid in Adrenalin trailer

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

More high-quality documentaries about the history of motorsports are always welcome. When thinking about racing, we generally focus on moving forward to go a little faster or shave a tenth of a second off a lap. There's not much time to look backward. It's too bad, because there are so many fantastic stories from the sport's history. Thankfully, an upcoming doc is taking on the challenge of telling some of these tales, and it looks like a movie not to miss, especially for BMW fans.
Adrenalin - The BMW Touring Car Story mixes high-quality, vintage footage with new interviews from many of the drivers of these machines to craft what looks like a fantastic experience. Covering the period from the '60s to the modern DTM era, just the trailer shows racing from the 2002, 3.0 CSL and of course the E30 chassis M3 of the '80s. You also get to hear from legends behind the wheel like Hans-Joachim Stuck, Johnny Cecotto and Joachim Winkelhock telling their stories.
Adrenalin comes out in November on DVD, Blu-Ray and on-demand. Check out its trailer above for a taste at what it's aiming for. The documentary definitely looks like one to watch.

BMW working on 'FAST' CUV to slot between X1 and 2 Series

Thu, 10 Jul 2014

Our spy shooters have caught a new FAST BMW testing that's rumored to hit the market in late 2015. Sadly, the word fast in that last sentence isn't describing the car's performance; instead it's an acronym that stands for Family Active Sports Tourer. Talk about a case of false advertising.
Despite it's speedy name, the FAST doesn't look ready to set any Nürburgring lap records. It rides on BMW's modular, front-wheel drive UKL platform that underpins the current generation Mini Cooper, upcoming 2 Series Active Tourer and next X1. According to our spies, its design is supposed to blend the looks of a wagon and a CUV on the outside with a large, useful interior. Conceivably, it could be offered with the hybrid system from the 2 Series, as well.
The new prototype definitely shares the styling of its front-wheel-drive BMW siblings. Up to the A-pillar, it looks pretty similar to what we know about the future X1. But the FAST has a more arched profile and lower ride height compared to the crossover's chunkier, more conventional design.

Take a look at the shocking Rolls-Royce Next 100 concept

Thu, Jun 16 2016

Rolls-Royce showed off its Vision Next 100 concept today in London, giving a look at what its vehicles might look like a century years from now. Each BMW brand will show its own concept this year; BMW's Vision Next 100 concept was an interesting mix of textile-like patterns with stretchy fenders and a very 2010s four-door coupe shape, but this Rolls-Royce concept looks more like a luxury version of a World Solar Challenge racer. The car's official title is 103EX, following the convention of recent Roller concepts. Whereas its BMW counterpart was perhaps a safe, predictable vision of the future, the Rolls is a striking vehicle and a big departure for the brand. Whether it works as a whole for you or not, it represents the kind of stylistic provocation that made ex-BMW stylist Chris Bangle a household name. While the early Bangle cars were extremely controversial, this Rolls concept is clearly the heir of his penchant for sharply creased character lines. Call the rocker panel crease flame surfacing if you want. The floating headlamps and blade-edged verticality of the fenders are classic Rolls: imposing and visually heavy, without necessarily being classically beautiful. The square, flat grille is, to my eyes, much less successfully integrated. It seems like Rolls had the perfect opportunity to evolve the trademark grille into something more contemporary. In 100 years, the brand will still need to lean on this sort of anachronism? That seems short-sighted. We'll have more on this concept from our man on the ground in London later today.
