97 Bmw E36 M3 Rebuildable No Reserve on 2040-cars
Lebanon, Pennsylvania, United States
|
1997 BMW M3 Automatic Sedan The car was in very good condition before the accident. Everything worked and maintenance was always kept up on. Interior is in very good condition. This was one of the nicer M3's out there, it was not beat. Which is why I believe it should be brought back to life. I just don't have the time to do it. I need it out of the way. So you get a deal. I valued the car at $7000 pre accident. So if you feel you can fix it for under that, you will be making out. The car hit a wall at under 30mpg, I don't know the speed, I was not driving. Most of the impact occurred on the passenger side. That is where you will have to have the strut tower area straightened out. You will also need a new passenger front quarter panel. Passenger door needs edge straighten or replaced. Windshield needs to be replaced. Dash and steering wheel need to be replaced. Needs new hood. Everything from the front of the engine forward needs to be replaced. Driver qtr panel is salvageable or you can replace. Engine starts and runs. There is no coolant left in it, so I never kept it running. Just enough to pull it out of the garage for pictures. It doesn't look like there is any damage to any major mechanicals. Mainly the radiators, fans, and stuff up front. The engine was not pushed on hard. The expansion tank is pushed up to it, but the plastic tank would have broken if it was really pushed against the engine. The engine fan is hitting stuff, so it does make noise when running. I quick started to look at prices and I think if you do the work yourself you can make out here. Most all of the parts are standard E36 parts and there are a lot of them out there. You can get the steering wheel for $50. The dash for $100. The windshield installed for $200. The car has some UPGRADES!!!!! It has a DINAN performance chip! It is cali-legal too. It has a K&N cold air intake. It is the VANOS rattle fix. It was always well maintained. Mobile 1 every 3000 miles. I had a dealer replace the trans fluid when I bought it $500 job. Various suspension components have been replaced. Front brakes are new, slotted and cross drilled. Front wheel bearings are fairly new. New air pump control value and air pump. This is your opportunity to get into a nice M3 on the cheap. Or your opportunity to make some money. I don't want offers. I don't want questions. I don't want to show the car. I just don't have the time. If I had time, I would fix it up myself. Just bid and when you come to pick it up, if you aren't happy, we can cancel the auction. Auction is no reserve, so you will get the car. Clean title in hand. |

China sticking to its guns on EVs for the future
Mon, Apr 27 2015Automakers are obviously free to develop whatever next-gen, zero-emissions tech that they want. However, if a company wants to get on the good side of the Chinese government, that strategy better include some plug-in vehicles. The authorities there are lending major support to plug-ins at the moment, and its forcing the auto industry to play along. According to Bloomberg, Toyota, Volkswagen, Hyundai, and BMW are all launching dedicated EV brands with their joint venture partners, and as many as 40 electric models could hit the Chinese market this year alone. However, analysts don't think the vehicles are going to sell well. Instead, the launches are essentially a way for companies to play nice with the government and help get the approval to build factories in the country. Take Toyota as an example. The company is pushing the future of hydrogen hard with promotional films for the Mirai and engineers talking down fast-charging EVs. Still, the Japanese automaker is getting ready to launch two EV brands in China with its joint venture partners, according to Bloomberg. China's push for alternative fuels has been happening for a while, but it really kicked into high gear last year. The government has set a goal to improve fleet-wide economy by 40 percent by the end of the decade in order to spend less importing oil and for the population's health. The plan has shown some success so far with hybrid and EV sales growing early in 2015.

BMW preparing two concepts for Villa d'Este
Thu, 20 Mar 2014Every spring, the finest automobiles ever to grace tarmac gather on the shores of Lake Como for the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. It's a chance for the most beautiful classics to compete for awards and for automakers and design studios to show off their concept cars under the soft light of the Italian sun. But while most of the vehicles old and new that show up for the concours are ones we've seen before, BMW takes things a step further.
As patron of the concorso d'eleganza for the past ten years, BMW regularly cooks up something new for the glamorous extravaganza. Last year it teamed up with Pininfarina for the Gran Lusso Coupé and revealed it alongside the Concept 90 motorcycle. The year before that came the BMW Zagato Coupe, preceded by the 328 Hommage and the M1 Hommage (pictured above) before it.
The theme for this year's event is the Roaring Twenties. BMW may not have been known back then on the same level as Bugatti or Duesenberg, but Rolls-Royce sure was.
BMW i3 to start at $41,350*
Mon, 22 Jul 2013With a week to go before the global debut of the BMW i3, BMW has announced pricing for its first-ever production electric vehicle. The all-electric version of the i3 goes on sale in the second quarter of next year with a starting price of $41,350 (*not including $925 for destination nor any applicable government tax credits).
Some of the pricing elements for the i3 that BMW continues to withhold are the cost of the model using a gasoline motorcycle engine as a range-extending generator, or that of the DC Fast Charge option. This latter feature will allow the i3's depleted lithium-ion battery pack to get an 80 percent charge in just 20 minutes; for comparison's sake, the DC quick charge feature is a $750 option on the 2014 Chevy Spark EV.
Sure, we've already driven the BMW i3, but the production version of the BMW EV - promising the interior space of a BMW 3 Series - will be unveiled next week at simultaneous ceremonies in New York, London and Beijing. Scroll down for BMW's brief press blast regarding its upcoming i3.
