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

BMW working on 'FAST' CUV to slot between X1 and 2 Series
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Our 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.
These are the cars with the best and worst depreciation after 5 years
Thu, Nov 19 2020The average new vehicle sold in America loses nearly half of its initial value after five years of ownership. No surprise there; we all expect that shiny new car to start depreciating as soon as we drive it off the lot. But some vehicles lose value a lot faster than others. According to data provided by iSeeCars.com, trucks and truck-based sport utility vehicles generally hold their value better than other vehicle types, with the Jeep Wrangler — in both four-door Unlimited and standard two-door styles — and Toyota Tacoma sitting at the head of the pack. The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited's average five-year depreciation of 30.9% equals a loss in value of $12,168. That makes Jeep's four-door off-roader the best overall pick for buyers looking to minimize depreciation. The Toyota Tacoma's 32.4% loss in initial value means it loses just $10,496. The smaller dollar amount — the least amount of money lost after five years — indicates that Tacoma buyers pay less than Wrangler Unlimited buyers, on average, when they initially buy the vehicle. The standard two-door Jeep Wrangler is third on the list, depreciating 32.8% after five years and losing $10,824. Click here for a full list of the top 10 vehicles with the least depreciation over five years. On the other side of the depreciation coin, luxury sedans tend to plummet in value at a much faster rate than other vehicle types. The BMW 7 Series leads the losers with a 72.6% drop in value after five years, which equals an alarming $73,686. BMW's slightly smaller 5 Series is next, depreciating 70.1%, or $47,038, over the same period. Number three on the biggest losers list is the Nissan Leaf, the only electric vehicle to appear in the bottom 10. The electric hatchback matches the 5 Series with a 70.1% drop in value, but since it's a much cheaper vehicle, that percentage equals a much smaller $23,470 loss.

2014 BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo [w/video]
Thu, 21 Mar 2013BMW Gets Much Closer To The GT Look And Feel It Seeks
The 2014 BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo is being launched to a pretty cynical automotive press brigade. You know it. We know it. Heck, even BMW knows it. We've just returned from driving it on the rather unforgiving and sometimes nasty roads of Sicily, and even before we got behind the wheel, many of our media colleagues were busying themselves doubting the 3 GT's very raison d'être. So, despite the always excellent Sicilian hospitality, the day's atmosphere was kind of fragile.
While the press in attendance seemed determined to nail every product expert to the wall for having been even tangentially associated with the larger 5 Series Gran Turismo, it seemed that BMW decided ahead of time to not introduce such a sensitive discussion topic. That strategy would do little to smooth things over as everyone started digging for dirt on BMW's so far clumsy Gran Turismo franchise.
