1999 Bmw M3 Base Convertible 2-door 3.2l on 2040-cars

Year:1999 Mileage:153221
Location:

Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, United States

Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, United States

 The car is in excellent shape, the paint looks fantastic.  Cosmetically, everything is factory, with a few exceptions.  The corner lights are smoke, the Roundel on the hood has been smoked, the roundel on the trunk has been replaced with an "M" logo, and the center caps with the BMW logos are not on the car right now.  I can restore all of the emblems/roundel back to factory if the winning bidder wishes. 

The convertible top has bee replaced within the last year and is like new.  As you can see, the engine compartment and trunk are in great shape and show how well this car was cared for.  The front seats have some wear on them as can be seen from the photos.  Having said that, they are in much better shape than many M3's of this vintage.  The car is mechanically sound.  It runs and drives just as an M3 should.  There are no issues, and no lights in the dash are illuminated.  The car is ready to go and drive home.  Mechanically, a few upgrades have been made.  The clutch, brakes, suspension, and exhaust have been upgraded.  The car also has a short shift kit installed.

The convertible top has been replaced in the last year and the car has barely been driven since then, so the top is basically brand new. 

The car looks good and drives great.  This E36 body style is a favorite among many M3 enthusiasts.  It is clean and pure.  I have put a lot of money into this car to keep it well maintained and tip top.  I have owned many BMW's and several M3's.  I do not beat these cars and take great care of them.  Any M owner knows how to treat these cars and appreciate them.

I am looking for this car to go to a good home and to an owner who will appreciate it and all the care that has been put into it.  FYI I am still driving the car here and there until it sells, although I do have a second car, so it should not be seeing much in the way of additional mileage.

I am putting this up with no reserve, so high bidder gets the car.  Any questions, feel free to call 609.923.2233 at anytime.  My dad is a huge bimmer guy and helped me by the car.  I am a student and due to expenses, I am down sizing.  Because of my busy schedule, my dad will be handling the inquiries and that is his cell phone number.  His name is Herc.  He knows more about this car and BMW's in general than anyone I know.  Of course, if you are serious about the car and need to speak to me directly, he will be happy to give you my number.

Thanks for looking at this vehicle and best of luck bidding.

BMW 2 Series gets 3-cylinder Mini engine

Fri, Dec 12 2014

BMW just keeps lopping off cylinders from its engines and sliding the ever-more-diminutive mills into its models. This spring, Europeans will get some of the automaker's smallest yet thanks to a new entry-level 2 Series that will share a powerplant with the Mini Cooper. The Bavarian company will also introduce a few other tweaks to the compact coupe across the pond. The 218i is the new 2 Series base model, and it shares its 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder with the latest family of Minis. The engine makes the same 134 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque, but BMW does have some tiny changes for it. First, the orientation is swapped to fit lengthwise under the hood and drive the rear wheels. Just as importantly, buyers can order it with an eight-speed automatic, rather than the six-speed in the Minis. BMW claims that the little engine gives the 218i a 50:50 weight distribution, and it takes around 8.8 seconds to reach 62 miles per hour with the standard six-speed manual – tack on another tenth for the automatic. Either way, top speed is still a perfectly respectable 132 mph. Those acceleration numbers, incidentally, are over a second slower than what the latest Cooper is quoted at. Beyond this new base model, BMW will bring a few other additions to the 2 Series for Europe. The 220d oil burner will be available with xDrive all-wheel drive, and the company will introduce several new equipment bundles called Advantage, Luxury Line, Sport Line and M Sport. Each will bundle various options and trims together to appeal to buyers. No word yet on whether the 218i will eventually make it to North America, but we aren't holding our breath. Scroll down to read BMW's lengthy release about all of the changes set for the 2 Series. The BMW 2 Series Coupe: New entry-level engines, new model variants, even greater individuality. Premiere of the BMW 218i Coupe with 3-cylinder petrol engine from the new BMW Group engine portfolio and the BMW 220d xDrive Coupe – new and varied range of equipment features for model variants Advantage, Sport Line, Luxury Line and M Sport. Munich. From March 2015, new entry-level engines, a further four-wheel drive model and additional equipment options will increase the diversity of features available for the BMW 2 Series Coupe. With the market launch of the new BMW 218i Coupe, a three-cylinder petrol engine from the BMW Group's latest engine family will be featured for the first time in the brand's sporty and elegant compact model.

BMW may keep next 1 Series out of the US

Tue, 07 May 2013

As BMW prepares to introduce the all-new 2 Series coupe and convertible, the 1 Series name definitely won't be going away. We know new sedan and hatchback models are in the works; including the GT shown above. According to Car and Driver, though, the future of the 1 Series nameplate in the US could be dependent on rival premium small cars like the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class and Audi A3.
In an interview with C/D, BMW's North American head of product planning and strategy, Paul Ferraiolo, said that pricing might be the biggest deterrent to offering the third-gen 1 Series in the US. As he points out, BMW currently prices the 1 not too far from the 3 Series, but Mercedes-Benz and Audi will have their new small cars priced well below the $30,000 mark. BMW's Mini brand will also factor into the consideration since the 1 GT will share its underpinnings with the next-gen Cooper lineup.
