Seling my late 97 M3 Sedan. Its loaded with all the options, Harmon Kardon Sound, 5 speed manual transmission, armrest, heated seats, 6 disc changer, side airbags, etc etc. Currently has 132k. I repainted the car Cyber Grey Metallic recently (I'd rate the paint job 8.5/10 - better than the original 14 year old paint, but not perfect) and spent around 100 hours prepping and painting it. All the door jambs, inside of the trunk, gas filler door have been painted to match. The only thing still arctic silver is the engine bay. I was planning on pulling the engine this winter and spraying it then. The car was involved in a minor accident on the front DS corner. All panels were replaced with OEM - it only needed the fender, hood and grill surround. The grill surround still needs a bit of adjustment. The title is clean. Black Leather interior.
This car has been my toy and hasn't been driven in the winter. Always garaged. No rust, I've only put on 24k miles since I bought it 9 years ago. Runs like a dream. I'm still in the process of getting all the trim back on after it was painted. Modifications and Features: ASA 17" Rims with 225/45/17 tires (seen in most of the pics) 6 puck clutchnet clutch disc and red pressure plate (very streetable, not much more aggressive feeling than stock) - Installed around 115k. Euro Headlights with 5k HIDs Clear corners all around FK adjustable coilover suspension (car can be raised up to stock height with these as well) great suspension, not too harsh but firm and great handling. New Door handle surrounds/gaskets New Battery Fall '13 New aluminum radiator and coolant system updated. AC freshly recharged New Clutch Slave Cylinder What the car needs at this point: 2 front bumper trim pieces sunroof gasket 2 vertical rear windshield trim pieces (old ones were cracked and removed when painting) Gas and temp gauge surrounds reglued (this is a quick job and I may tackle it if I have time) Pass Rear outer door handle doesn't work Headliner and glovebox door are starting to sag - very common on these. Airbag and ABS light need reset - likely a wheel speed sensor, though I haven't investigated it further Coolant level sensor is bad I believe - car has and maintains full coolant level, no errors when starting or driving but it pops a low coolant level error when shut down. Windshield washer nozzles need reinstalled. FM doesn't work on the OEM radio. Will need new tires in a couple thousand miles. Tear in the base of the drivers side seat. Recently it started throwing brake light failure warnings on the OBC - this is a very common issue with aftermarket euro taillights and is an easy fix - again I'll try to tackle this if I have a chance but work has been hectic lately. Brake lights still work as they should it just throws an error on the on board computer. Priced for a quick sale, it is a low mileage clean M3 sedan (only 4400 made in the US) without any rust and these are becoming more and more difficult to find in good condition. I'm a BMW enthusiast and have owned 5 different e36s over the past 12 years - this has been the one that I've kept the longest. Car is pictured with 2 door vader seats that have been sold. It will come with the powered, heated, OEM sport sedan M3 seats. I've done my absolute best to describe everything that the car needs - a majority of these things are low dollar items that just need some time spent on them. Unfortunately I started a new job a couple of years ago and haven't had the time to spend on it that I wish I could. Price reflects the items that it still needs to be brought back to perfect shape. Feel free to shoot me an email with any questions. Hopefully my perfect feedback score is a reflection of my integrity when selling things like this. Thanks and good luck! I'll try to update the listing with more interior pics shortly. The rear seat is non folding but does have the ski pass through. Side airbags were standard starting on the '98 model year in e36s - this is a late late '97 that has them but not the rear headrests. Car has never been tracked or autocrossed, the helmet pictured is for my motorcycle. |

BMW names new chief for Mini
Fri, Jan 23 2015Mini is still transitioning models over to its new platform, and in the US market at least, the diminutive brand is dealing with a sales decrease of 15.6 percent in 2014. The low gas prices aren't helping either. But as of March 1, there's a new boss running the company across the world as Sebastian Mackensen (right) is promoted to the top spot from his current role as head of sales. Mackensen has been with Mini since October 2013, and according to Automotive News, before that he headed North and South American sales for Audi. Current brand boss, Jochen Goller is staying with BMW family and moving to China to take over as marketing chief for the BMW Brilliance joint venture. He had been the leader at Mini since 2013. Among several other personnel shifts, the BMW brand is also promoting Uwe Dreher to be its new head of marketing. He is currently in charge of those duties for the company in the Great Britain region. Personnel changes at MINI and BMW Group sales Munich . From 1 March 2015, Peter van Binsbergen will be Senior Vice-President, Sales and Marketing of BMW Group Germany. The 47-year-old mechanical engineer is currently Head of Sales and Marketing at the BMW Brilliance Joint Venture based in China. Mr van Binsbergen's career with the BMW Group began over 20 years ago when he assumed senior positions responsible for product planning, marketing and sales at BMW South Africa. He then moved to BMW Japan, where he was Director of Marketing, followed by a move to BMW Group headquarters in Munich, where he led the department responsible for sales channel development and the Group's "Future Retail" programme. Jochen Goller will move to China where he will take over an extended role with overall responsibility for Sales and Marketing at the BMW Brilliance Joint Venture in China. Mr Goller (48), who has headed up the MINI brand since 2013, already has experience when it comes to the Chinese market. During his 15-year career with the BMW Group, he was previously Head of Marketing at BMW China before returning to Europe, where he first took over responsibility for the MINI brand in Great Britain and Ireland ahead of moving to his current job. From 1 March 2015, Sebastian Mackensen will take on responsibility for the MINI brand. Mr Mackensen (43) joined the BMW Group in October 2013 as Head of MINI Sales.

BMW 1 Series GT spied in 7-seat trim
Mon, 20 May 2013As BMW prepares to introduce its first-ever front-wheel drive car, the upcoming 1 Series GT, it looks like there will be at least two versions of the car. A conventional-looking hatchback was spotted testing late last year, but now we see an extended-length version in order to accommodate a third row of seats.
Judging by these spy shots, this 1 Series GT prototype has received an extended wheelbase, larger rear doors and more upright D-pillars compared to our previous spy shots (show in the gallery below) all with the aim of creating additional passenger and cargo space. Like the smaller 1 Series GT, this longer model would likely carry over the same powertrain options, which are expected to consist of three- and four-cylinder engines, a hybrid system and the choice of front- or all-wheel drive. The 1 Series GT could make its debut this fall at the Frankfurt Motor Show, but we might have to wait until next year to see the people mover.
