Here is my 1990 (Build date 10/1989) BMW E30 M3 with 86,300 Miles (by sale date might be up to 87,000)
I am selling because I miss having a convertable and I am only allowed 1 toy car (and 2 motorcycles So expect to see my BMW K1200GT for sale soon too as I rarely ride that). Car is being sold AS IS WHERE IS. There will be NO TEST Drives until the auction is over. The winner gets to test drive after full purchase price deposit. If you change your mind at that point You get your money back if it is something I did not disclose or acurately describe. If you simply change your mind at that point but I did describe it acurately I only ask for a good faith $50 for relisting fee on E-Bay. If you damage it during the test drive, you bought it. But I am not a complete idiot and I do not expect someone to buy this blind so I have provided a Virtual Test drive video and a TON of pictures most taken on 4/11/2014 including the video test drive you can view it / Download at: Enjoy even though I am not Jearmy Clarkson or anywhere close. Also I am willing to take the car to Performance Automotive in Malvern PA (They are my mechanics and have done almost all of the work on the car so they are very familiar with it) if you pay for a pre-purchase inspection. But I will insist that they give me a copy that I can share online for others to view and I will need to be notified quickly as I do work and need to arrange time to get this done. First the most important feature THIS HAS A CUP HOLDER!!!!! This rare feature in these cars makes this particular one worth at least $10K More!!!! The Good Full Resolution TONS of photos including the underside from when I had the brakes and steering rack done available at as well as a Virtual Test Drive Video: All kidding asside The cup holder is not permanant and has soft foam on the clamp to not damage the interior, but I will include it for no additional charge. Extremely well documented service history over 100+ Pages of document service history Authentic BMW OEM Carbon Fiber Wing This thing is unobtanium and I have never seen one for sale see Photo and notice german writing and BMW logo (hard to see but it is there). Multiple CarFax reports over the years and original VIN Stickers in the right locations show no accident history at all EVERYTHING Works on the car except the passenger Mirror adjustment motor (Just discovered during my video test drive). Transmission overhaul and new clutch plate assembly done by previous owner at 78.5K Miles This is about as close to an EVO II M3 as you can get Fully adjustable Konis at all 4 corners VERY COLD AC Cruise Control, Power Locks, Sunroof, Roof liner all great. Excellent Paint 9.5 out of 10 New refurbished front seats, also a new refurbished rear seat is available for less than $400 Original Wheels (Yes all 5) and Original Cassette Deck included (not on or in the car). 17" BBS wheels in excellent shape Alpine stereo with USB/IPOD support (in glove box) New Cross Drilled Slotted Disc Rotors and Pads less than 2K Miles Tires in Great shape with readings of 8/32nds all around Also includes a Never Installed or opened Keyless Entry, I hate the idea of having to use a key to lock and unloc the car but before I installed it I decided to sell the car and figured someone may want it or they may want the car to remain as original as possible. WeatherTech Floor mats for the front and a set of 4 Bavarian autosport mats for front and rear. The Not so good I choose a soft Marine Grade Vinyl for the seats and not Leather, I think they feel great and look great and based on the seats for my wife's Mini they do not crack, you can get an exact matching rear seat for just under $500 from the same people that did my seats (no core needed and I have the color code in the documentation), or you could have them recover in leather, or you can switch back to the original seats as they are included as well and you can see them in the photos The Rear seat is old and just feels rough, It looks pretty good but it is completely original so time / Sun has taken its toll. Mentioned passenger Mirror motor (I just discovered it not working while creating the virtual test drive video). Front Bumper Paint probably did not have enough flex additive so there are some minor cracks and banding Small scrapes on front bumper lower spoiler (see photos) Small scrapes on 2-3 of the 5 original wheels Tires on the original wheels crap PA Inspection just went overdue (if a PA resident buys the car I can get the inspection completed before you take delivery, it will pass including emmissions no problems) If you are out of state I will ensure you have a completely full Tank in since an inspection costs about $50 in PA. In an attempt to remove dead mouse smell from HVAC I sprayed a misting of bleach in vents and it ran out and discolored the carpet in the Driver and passenger footwells Not the brightest move... I had the system taken apart and found the rodent bastards and had them removed and the entire system cleaned when I converted the AC to R134a and the carpet could easily be re-dyed with spray carpet paint. The History: This is an extremely well documented car and in excellent shape Documentation starts with its Inspection 1 from BMW of Hawaii and includes over 100+ Pages It is now located in Glenmoore PA and I bought it 2 years ago from www.classiccargallery.com You can see their original photos here: http://classiccargallery.com/details.php?id=534&g=2 FYI this is not some crazy modded time bomb this is a very mild state of tune but provides the extra Oomph you want. Turner Motorsport Performance Chip: Adding a TMS Performance Chip gives you the biggest bang for your buck! Jim Conforti tuned these chips on the dyno to boost mid range torque and increase horsepower in the upper RPM range. While not exactly producing V8-levels of torque you will definitely like the power increase across the rev band. The best thing is that there is NO downside to installing a Turner Performance Chip. urner Motorsport has been in the BMW chip business since 1995 and all chips have been dyno-tuned to achieve optimum performance and safety. As an added feature, the top speed limiter is removed. Premium 91+ octane fuel is required.
Here is the Previous Owners sales Description at S14.net Since buying the car I have done the following work in addition to regular maintenance: Replaced the subframe bushings Sent the original Low Ratio BMW M3 Specific Steering rack for a professional rebuild It is the Right steering rack for the car and does not leak anymore: Removed dead Mice from the HVAC Converted the AC to R134a and rechaged the system (Today was 70 and it was Blowing 39 Degrees F) See Photos 4 Wheel Alignment with new steering rack Fixed Cruise Control Fixed Power Locks I am willing to end the auction early for the right price and reserve the right to do so, Make damn sure it is the right price and a non refundable $500 deposit will be required before I end the listing canceling bids. For the right Price see: And compare to what I am selling here. Otherwise I take my chances with the auction Reserve is at least $9000 less than the lowest priced M3 there as of 4/11/2014 Also have your finances in order before even bidding, Payment is due within 8 Days of auction end and due to PA laws we cannot close the transaction on a Sunday if you want to go to an auto tag place to transfer title. I have the title in hand. On Apr-12-14 at 10:15:03 PDT, seller added the following information: Questions have been raised about potential smell: If it smells then I described it wrong
buyer has the right to terminate the sale and get all of their money back. After what I spent cleaning that
thing out my mechanic would hear from me on that one and knowing him he would
not charge to redo the job. But knowing him he did a really good job so it really does
not smell. Also verified by my wife who can not only smell but also hear a
mosquito fart from 30 feet. I personally have put more than $6000 into this car and they are part of the documentation between new brakes, brake lines, steering rack, subframe bushings, Air Conditioning Conversion, AC Compressor, Front Seats, and more. Clutch plate, Shifter Bushings, Bearings, Gear box Oil, Differential Oil both with Redline synthetic, a Synchro, and the miscellaneous gaskets, rubber mounts, etc. Do not forget about the cup holder!!! |

Ruby celebrates 90 years of BMW Motorrad with special helmet collection
Fri, 25 Oct 2013BMW isn't the only one celebrating its own 90th anniversary building motorbikes. So is Atelier Ruby, that French manufacturer of jewel-like motorcycle helmets.
Ruby has just released a capsule collection of helmets marking BMW Motorrad's 90th anniversary, and we want them almost as much as a Bimmer bike itself. The Munich 90 collection includes three new designs available in three helmet styles, including the signature blue and red stripes on a white background worn by BMWs of two wheels or four on the racing circuit.
Of course, these helmets, being made by Ruby as they are, won't come cheap, with jaw-dropping prices ranging from $980 to $1,450. Of course there are more cost-effective ways to protect your noggin, but few more stylish.
8 automakers, 15 utilities collaborate on open smart-charging for EVs
Thu, Jul 31 2014We're going to lead with General Motors here. GM is one of eight automakers working with 15 utilities and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) at developing a "smart" plug-in vehicle charging system. Why did we start with GM? Because it's the first automaker whose press release we read that mentioned the other seven automakers. Points for sharing. For the record, the collaboration also includes BMW, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Chrysler, Mitsubishi and Ford. The utilities include DTE Energy, Duke Energy, Southern California Edison and Pacific Gas & Electric. The idea is to develop a so-called "demand charging" system in which an integrated system lets the plug-ins and utilities communicate with each other so that vehicle charging is cut back at peak hours, when energy is most expensive, and ramped up when the rates drop. Such entities say there's a sense of urgency to develop such a system because the number of plug-in vehicles on US roads totals more than 225,000 today and is climbing steadily. There's a lot of technology involved, obviously, but the goal is to have an open platform that's compatible with virtually any automaker's plug-in vehicle. No timeframe was disclosed for when such a system could go live but you can find a press release from EPRI below. EPRI, Utilities, Auto Manufacturers to Create an Open Grid Integration Platform for Plug-in Electric Vehicles PALO ALTO, Calif. (July 29, 2014) – The Electric Power Research Institute, 8 automakers and 15 utilities are working to develop and demonstrate an open platform that would integrate plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) with smart grid technologies enabling utilities to support PEV charging regardless of location. The platform will allow manufacturers to offer a customer-friendly interface through which PEV drivers can more easily participate in utility PEV programs, such as rates for off-peak or nighttime charging. The portal for the system would be a utility's communications system and an electric vehicle's telematics system. As the electric grid evolves with smarter functionality, electric vehicles can serve as a distributed energy resource to support grid reliability, stability and efficiency. With more than 225,000 plug-in vehicles on U.S. roads -- and their numbers growing -- they are likely to play a significant role in electricity demand side management.
BMW i5 could be a new kind of i PHEV
Tue, Apr 14 2015Just this month BMW North America CEO Ludwig Willisch made a point of saying "Not any time soon" to AutoblogGreen's question about the arrival of a BMW i5 - and that came after he clarified, in case we didn't know it, that no such model exists. But the rumors of its eventual appearance were swelled again by a report in Autobild that sticks more details and numbers on what could be the next offering in for the i brand. In February, Car magazine laid the i5 out as having a 245-horsepower four-cylinder engine in front, assisted by a 204-hp e-motor in the bow and a 90-hp e-motor in the stern, for about 544 total horsepower. Autobild claims the gas engine will have 218 hp, the front e-motor will have 150 hp and the rear will have 272 hp, for roughly 640 total horsepower. Where the two reports agree is that it - maybe called i5, maybe i7 - will be based on the China-market long-wheelbase 5 Series platform, it will incorporate cues from both the 7 Series and 6 Series Gran Coupe, and it will not be cheap: 100,000 euros ($105,686 US) is the estimate. The i8 starts at 130,000 euros in Germany. Weight for the i5 is figured to be around 3,300 pounds. Green Car Reports says what's important about the i5's drivetrain is that it's being maximized for electric running. Its evolution of the company's eDrive mechanicals will crank the ICE over only above 36 miles per hour, and even then, only in cases of "maximum power demand." Electric-only driving would offer a range of 78 miles, company officials suggesting that it could remain in that mode for "fully two-thirds of its usage cycle." Whenever a vehicle like this arrives, that is, which Autobild says could be in 2019.
