Alpine White on Black Sport Leather with Evo Upgrades, the perfect drivers car. This enthusiast owned M3 has been tastefully upgraded with some of the best OEM and aftermarket parts available. Most importantly the engine, A 2.5L S14 Engine. After experiencing the increased power from the 2.5 liter you simply cannot go back. In the M3's final years of competition in touring car racing, rule changes increased maximum engine displacement to 2.5-liter's. Because of this BMW produced a production run of 600 very special M3's with this more powerful engine. Nice examples of these cars have now eclipsed over one hundred thousand dollars. This is the pinnacle of the road going E30 M3. This car is an opportunity to experience the ownership at a fraction of the cost. The motor was rebuilt in early 2009 and the mileage at the time of overhaul was 185550. This represents the mileage of the engine since rebuild at roughly 37,000 miles. The engine runs beautifully. technical info: Schrick 284/278 Cams, 11:1 CP Pistons, adjustable cam gears, BMW EVO Oil pump, BMW DTM Baffled Oil Pan, E36 Chain Tensioner, Evo Valve Springs, Evo Air Box, replaced valve shims, valve job. Valve Cover and intake plenum powder coated red. Exhaust is custom by Cars and Concepts Tampa Florida(local BMW e30 M3 specialist). Aluminum radiator.The Transmission is original and is in great shape. The clutch(Sachs/OEM), bearings, rear main seal(OEM) and shifter bushings were replaced less than 1000 miles ago and the flywheel was machined. The flywheel has been lightened to about 12lbs and does not cause any chatter or excessive vibration. This allows quicker revs similar to the factory flywheel in the Sport Evo. The car also features shorter shift throws courtesy of an OEM BMW Z3 shifter. I have tried to keep all modifications as period correct as possible during my tenure with the car.

Weekly Recap: BMW rolls out ambitious plug-in hybrid electric plan

Sat, Dec 6 2014

"We believe that for the United States, this is going to be very important." – Julian Arguelles Let there be no doubt, BMW is serious about electric vehicles. The German automaker said this week it will make plug-in hybrid versions of all of its core models, an aggressive move that demonstrates its commitment to electric propulsion systems. BMW did not specify which vehicles will get the plug-in systems or provide a timeline for when they will arrive. But the announcement is clearly more than blustering, and the company revealed a 3 Series plug-in prototype this week at an event in France. BMW said the 3 Series uses a version of its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (240 horsepower, 300 pound feet of torque) with an electric motor sandwiched between the engine and transmission in place of the torque converter. It has an all-electric range of 22 miles. A plug-in X5 with the same powertrain was also displayed alongside the 3 Series, though the X5 has been on the auto-show circuit for more than a year, including a recent stop in Los Angeles. Those two vehicles use "eDrive," and BMW's plans represent the first widespread transfer of its technology from development of the i3 and i8 models to more mainstream products. BMW said it's developing electric powertrains so they can be deployed rapidly across its range, and they are flexible enough to be used with fuel cells in future products. Enticingly, BMW is also working on a "Power eDrive" system, which debuted in a 5 Series GT concept at the event in France. This setup has two electric motors powered by a 20-kilowatt-hour battery pack, and when teamed with a four-cylinder turbo, pump out about 670 hp. Reinforcing BMW's commitment, the company will add more than 200 jobs at its factory in Dingolfing, Germany, to support electric-vehicle development. The moves come as BMW and other automakers diversify their portfolios while fuel economy and emissions regulations are getting tighter around the world. The United States has set a 54.5-mpg CAFE requirement for the 2025 model year. BMW said the electric vehicles were developed with an eye toward the US market, its government policies and its wide-ranging commuting styles. "We believe that for the United States, this is going to be very important," spokesman Julian Arguelles said. Ben Scott, a senior analyst in London with automotive research firm IHS, said BMW's moves are expensive – but necessary – to keep pace with the market.

BMW Shanghai: Driving in mega cities, designing the future and more

Thu, 25 Apr 2013


The BMW enclave is a suitable mix of high-tech and throwback cool.
A few days before the Shanghai Motor Show kicked off, we were part of an international group of media that was invited to have a look at the BMW Designworks Shanghai Studio and ConnectedDrive Lab facility. The building that BMW found to house its Chinese think tank is in a lovely part of Shanghai known as the former French Concession. The late 1890s and early 1900s French architectural style, brick-paved streets and tree-lined spaces feel a world apart from the ultra-modern heart of Shanghai, and the BMW enclave is a suitable mix of high-tech and throwback cool.

BMW M135i vs. Mercedes A45 AMG in Euro small-lux throwdown

Fri, 19 Jul 2013

BMW and Mercedes-Benz - please, please, please bring the M135i and A45 AMG hatchbacks to North America. For as long as we can remember, buyers in the New World have been forced to look longingly at Europe and Great Britain and the excellent super hatches that are so routinely offered there. And while we're quite content with the Ford Focus ST and Volkswagen GTI, having a 360-horse five-door with a premium, content-rich interior sounds quite nice.
Our envy for Europe has grown after watching the latest video from Drive, which stars Chris Harris, the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG and the BMW M135i. This latest battle between MB and BMW takes place on both road and track, with Harris providing a running commentary. If you're interested in the upcoming Mercedes CLA45 AMG, you should pay special attention to the section on the A45, as the two are essentially fraternal twins. While the video is a bit on the long side, it provides a comprehensive rundown of both cars, giving those of us in North America just a small taste of what we're missing.
