Bmw M3 Us on 2040-cars
Sarasota, Florida, United States
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.

BMW i8 will be first production car to use Gorilla Glass
Wed, 07 Aug 2013What do smartphones and the BMW i8 have in common? Glass. Scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass, that is. The i8 will be the first production car to use the chemically hardened material, which is more durable, lighter and provides more sound deadening than conventional laminated automotive glass. We thought it would be a natural replacement for windshields, but, according to Autoweek, BMW said it will be used for the rear window for sound deadening purposes. The Gorilla Glass will still be laminated, with two 0.7mm thick layers of it sandwiching an acoustic sheet, reports Autoevolution.
BMW reportedly claims the i8 will weigh less than 3,285 pounds, and to offset the heavy hybrid powertrain to reach that goal the automaker has implemented lightweight materials normally not found in mass-production automobiles. With a carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) monocoque used for both the (relatively) pedestrian i3 and the upscale i8, it's not surprising BMW was also the first to jump onto Gorilla Glass, especially given the timing of a report that a high-end automaker would introduce it within the year.
Be sure to check out our First Drive review of the i8 to see if BMW's newest sports car is living up to the hype.
What would you drive in 1985?
Wed, May 6 2020Bereft of live baseball games to watch, I've turned to the good ship YouTube to watch classic games. While watching the 1985 American League Championship Series last night, several of the broadcast's commercials made its way into the original VHS recording, including those for cars. "Only 8.8% financing on a 1985 Ford Tempo!" What a deal! That got me thinking: what would I drive in 1985? It sure wouldn't be a Tempo. Or an IROC-Z, for that matter, despite what my Photoshopped 1980s self would indicate in the picture above. I posed this question to my fellow Autobloggists. Only one could actually drive back then, I was only 2 and a few editors weren't even close to being born. Here are our choices, which were simply made with the edict of "Come on, man, be realistic." West Coast Editor James Riswick: OK, I started this, I'll go first. I like coupes today, so I'm pretty sure I'd drive one back then. I definitely don't see myself driving some badge-engineered GM thing from 1985, and although a Honda Prelude has a certain appeal, I must admit that something European would likely be in order. A BMW maybe? No, I'm too much a contrarian for that. The answer is therefore a 1985 Saab 900 Turbo 3-Door, which is not only a coupe but a hatchback, too. If I could scrounge up enough Reagan-era bucks for the ultra-cool SPG model, that would be rad. The 900 Turbo pictured, which was for auction on Bring a Trailer a few years ago, came with plum-colored Bokhara Red, and you're damn sure I would've had me one of those. Nevermind 1985, I'd probably drive this thing today. Associate Editor Byron Hurd: I'm going to go with the 1985.5 Ford Mustang SVO, AKA the turbocharged Fox Body that everybody remembers but nobody drives. The mid-year update to the SVO bumped the power up from 175 ponies (yeah, yeah) to 205, making it almost as powerful (on paper, anyway) as the V8-powered GT models offered in the same time frame. I chose this particular car because it's a bit of a time capsule and, simultaneously, a reminder that all things are cyclical. Here we are, 35 years later, and 2.3-liter turbocharged Mustangs are a thing again. Who would have guessed?
2014 BMW i3
Mon, 15 Jul 2013A Purer Than Ever Sort Of Driving Pleasure
This all started back in 2007 when the megacity urbanization trend hit full stride and BMW began brainstorming the 2020 future of mobility. The product was thus originally called the BMW MegaCity vehicle. Then the 'i' division of BMW was officially born in 2011, and we have since been exposed to various "leaked" images and official prototype unveilings of both this i3 and the i8 eco sports car. The latter (called i12 in the halls of Munich) was originally called the Concept Vision Efficient Dynamics and presented as a diesel-hybrid.
The time is now upon us for the market launch of the plug-in i3 (called i01 internally). The wider motoring public already has its opinions and BMW is listening to all of them, so there's a bundle of nerves around these limited drives of the i3 for a select few members of the media, Autoblog included. We came to an airfield outside of Munich and were handed an i3 test car to drive around a set course filled with blue- and white-striped cones. BMW tech experts were everywhere and some of the discussions around the various technical displays even got a little heated.
