E30 M3 Hennarot, Euro S50b32, Recaro, Wilwood, Excellent Condition on 2040-cars
Arlington, Virginia, United States
|
1988 Hennarot E30 M3 with an E36 M3 S50B32 Euro motor. 191,0xx miles on the chassis, approx 79k miles on the motor/transmission. I purchased this car in the spring of 2013 from a gentleman in CA who had done most of the mechanical work on the car, and really made it into the wonderful driving car that it currently is. From my understanding the car was largely stock when he bought it several years before my ownership, from that point he focused on maintenance that the car needed. I have a binder containing most of the documentation from the previous owner. The motor swap is obviously the biggest change over stock. I’ve been told by two separate and independent shops, that the swap was very well done. The engine is very strong, and runs extremely well, I had a compression/leak down done on the car before my purchase and all cylinders checked out perfectly. In fact, the company that sold him the motor wrote ‘superb engine’ on the valve cover while they were testing it. I'd estimate that engine has been in the car for about 6000 miles. When I took delivery of the car I drove it home 1300 miles, it was a great drive, and the car didn’t miss a beat. I never had any intention of selling this car this quickly, but I’ve purchased two other BMW’s from the late 80’s that are projects, and simply don’t have room for my M3 any longer. Exterior Modifications: - OEM Evo2 front splitter with replica Evo3 splitter - Evo3 rear spoiler and carbon fiber flap - BMW Motorsport door handles - Euro smilies Drivetrain/Engine Modifications: - Genuine carbon fiber airbox with OETuning tune - AKG S50/S52 E30 motor mounts (less than 2000 miles old) - Z3 steering rack - E28 M5 coding plug (so the stock RPM gauge is accurate) - Sparco strut bar - E36 Euro M3 radiator - ZF 5sp transmission (less than 2500 miles old) - Autosolution SSK - Treehouse control arm bushing - E36 M3 Eisenmann muffler with catless custom exhaust - Massive Rally BBK (6 pistons front, 4 pistons rear) - Ground Control S/A coilovers - Ground Control camber plates - Ground Control rear shock mounts - Ground Control 650#/400# springs (less than 1000 miles old) - E28 3.25 LSD differential (rebuilt by Diffs Online about 2500 miles ago) - 17” OZ Superleggera wheels (no curb rash) - Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 215/40/17 (less than 5000 miles old) Recent Maintenance (oil changed every 3000 miles): - Brake fluid flush (less than 7000 miles old) - New spark plugs (less than 5000 miles old) - E36 '96+ offset front control arm (less than 4000 miles old) - New front wheel bearings (less than 4000 miles old) - Various belts and gaskets replaced (less than 4000 miles old) - New battery (less than 4000 miles old) - New fuel tank and fuel pump (less than 2000 miles old) - New thermostat (less than 500 miles old) - New sway bar end links (less than 500 miles old) Interior Modifications: - NRG quick release hub - thin version - Momo Champion steering wheel - Recaro SR3 seats (new less than 1000 miles old) - VDO cluster gauges (oil temp, oil pressure, water temp) - BMP instrument console (for the VDO gauges) - Custom ///M floor mats (less than 500 miles old) - Alpine head unit (note: there are no cracks in the dash) - ZHP weighted shift knob Considerations: - Dot-r front left fender.....parking lot mishap with a previous owner - The rear bumper was painted at one time - There is a small amount of rust repaired below the windshield on the driver side (see photo) - The driver side E-brake shoe assembly is missing (e-brake still works fine) - No a/c, heater core (note: the lines are still intact) - Corners of the bumpers stick out slightly (common) - The spare tire well is riveted shut - I personally like the patina on the front bumper, others may think it needs a repaint. - The exhaust is slightly crooked, and if desired could be rehung There isn’t much to nit pick on this car, you can get in and drive it across the country, or to work everyday. It has major and expensive upgrades that arguably make it a better car. Better in the sense that it has a power train that is more reliable than the S14, it creates more power, brakes harder, and turns faster. As you can see from the pictures the paint is in fantastic condition for a 25+ year old car. If you have never seen hennarot in person, it’s a gorgeous color, and also quite rare, I believe only about 300 M3’s were produced in this color. I am happy to answer any questions serious buyers have, I’ve tried to be as thorough and forthright with the condition as possible. I do have the car listed locally and reserve the right to end the auction early. |

Even 'Ring taxi drivers need to respect the Green Hell
Wed, 06 Aug 2014The Nürburgring Nordschleife has the reputation as one of the most difficult tracks in the world to master - deservedly so. With 14 miles of roadway and about 160 corners over a massive amount of elevation change, the amount of grip can change from turn to turn. As the driver of the famous BMW Ring Taxi learned this weekend after a shunt into the barricades, the 'Ring can bite unsuspecting pros just as easily as amateurs.
The video of the incident below shows the M5 oversteering right into the wall as a phalanx of Porsche models arrive behind it. According to Bridge to Gantry, a website that specializes in news about the 'Ring, the taxi's passengers were picked up by another Ring Taxi and driven off with a fantastic story to tell their friends back home. "The accident happened at low speed, there were two passengers in the car, but no one had at any injuries," said BMW spokesperson Cypselus von Frankenberg to Autoblog via email.
The crash also closed track for over an hour to clean up and to haul the stricken BMW away. When a driver making a living from driving lap after lap at the Nordschleife has a crash even as seemingly minor as this one, it just goes to show why the course has the nickname 'The Green Hell.'
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?
BMW and Samsung enter expanded battery agreement [w/video]
Fri, Jul 18 2014What's good for the goose is good for the gander. In this case, the goose is BMW and the gander is Samsung. And their five-year plan has worked out well. The German automaker this week expanded its current agreement with the South Korean battery-making giant. BMW and Samsung SDI reached a memorandum of understanding for Samsung to keep making batteries for BMW's growing stable of i3 battery-electric and i8 plug-in hybrids as well as yet-to-be revealed hybrid models. No dollar amount or new time frame was revealed, but with BMW already moving about 5,400 i3 vehicles during the first six months of the year, there should be a substantial amount of funds changing hands. BMW started working with Samsung in 2009 when it began buying batteries for its Megacity electric vehicle from SB LiMotive, a 50-50 joint-venture between Samsung SDI and Bosch. Things have been looking up for Samsung since last August, when Tesla Motors decided to diversify its battery supply chain by branching out beyond Panasonic and buying some of its lithium-ion batteries from Samsung. Feel free to check out the Samsung-Bimmer press release, along with a video report, below. BMW Group and Samsung SDI expand partnership BMW Group and Samsung SDI expand partnership: Signing of a memorandum of understanding for delivery of further battery cells in signing of MoU for delivery of further battery cells Seoul. The BMW Group and Samsung SDI plan to expand their supply relationship for battery cells for electro-mobility. The two companies signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to this effect today in Seoul. Samsung SDI will supply the BMW Group with battery cells for the BMW i3, BMW i8 and additional hybrid models over the coming years. The most important elements of the agreement are the increase in quantities delivered over the medium term, in response to growing demand for electro-mobility, and further technological development of battery cells. Dr. Klaus Draeger, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, responsible for Purchasing and Supplier Network: "Our partnership with Samsung SDI is a good example of successful Korean-German cooperation on innovative technologies. The battery is a key component in every electric vehicle – since it basically determines the range and performance capabilities of the car.
