Amazing Service History

NO RESERVE!!

 

 

Being offered at NO RESERVE is the sports convertible you’ve been waiting for:  

1998 BMW M3 Convertible with only 74k miles, accident-free, an amazing service history and in the nicest, rarest color combination.

- Accident-free with great service history. Take a look at the free Carfax report provided at the end of this description. Carfax values this M3 at $1,990 ABOVE RETAIL value given its excellent history!!

- Please take your time. I've included OVER 100 high-definition pictures of the vehicle. It is a very large auction with the high-def pictures. Please allow enough time for all of the pictures to load.

- 3.2L inline-6 motor is legendary. This is the motor that set the standard in the late 90s. Straight 6, no forced induction, no turbocharger producing 245 horsepower. Not to mention this is one of the most reliable motors ever built. With only 74k miles, this M3 is going to last the next owner a very long time.

- E36 M3 body style is a true modern classic. The M sport bumpers, side skirts with the 10 double-spoke M rims is a truly unique look.

- Automatic transmission shifts perfectly through gears. With the optional Sport, Economy, and Manual transmission modes, the E36 M3 was truly ahead of its time; giving the driver complete freedom and control of the drive. Leave it in economy mode for better MPG, place it in sport mode for faster shifting and that extra M power, or go into manual mode and sequentially shift the gears yourself.

- Drop-top M3 convertible in Estoril Blue with white leather, HK audio, heated seats. The M3 is just a blast to drive and a real head turner. This is the ultimate sports car driver's dream.

- Estoril Blue on White Leather with Gray dash/trim is the nicest color combination, hands-down.

- Mechanically, the M3 is excellent; everything works great and the BMW really rides beautifully.

- Brakes, exhaust and suspension are all excellent.

- No engine warning lights or malfunctions of any kind.

- Heat blows hot and A/C is ice-cold!

- Cruise-control operates perfectly.

- Premium/Sport and Winter package with HEATED seats, dual power seats, heated power mirrors, M rims, keyless-entry.

- All power options function 100%.

- HK audio sounds great. There’s no better feeling driving this M3 down the highway with the top down, music blasting and engine revving.

- M wheels look great and really complete the look of the BMW. Wrapped in FOUR MATCHING TOYO tires.

- Estoril Blue Metallic exterior looks great and shines beautifully. There are 1-2 door dings, a dent on the front grille and a few light scratches on the trunk lid as you can see in the pictures. These are hardly noticeable and definitely do not detract from the overall beautiful appearance of the M3. We mention these to be as thorough as possible and provide as much information to all potential bidders.

- White LEATHER interior with gray trim is in excellent condition. Most of these E36 M3s have significant cracking in the leather, BUT NOT THIS ONE.  No tears or rips in the seats or carpets. The leather is absolutely gorgeous. The driver seat shows almost no wear; no side-bolster wear, no significant wrinkles. Dash/trim shine beautifully. Carpets look great with no stains or tears.

- Rear Seat looks barely used.

- POWER DROP-TOP convertible with the push of a button works 100%. No hesitations or stalling. 3 pin-size holes in the back left of the top as you can see in the pictures, nothing major.

- If you're looking at this auction, you know how hard these M3s are to find in this kind of well-kept condition. 

- All original owners' manuals, full spare tire in the trunk!! Alarm system with key-less remote, valet key and extra master key. This is one of the nicest, well-kept, all-original E36 M3s out there and THE ONLY ONE BEING SOLD AT NO RESERVE!!!

- This is really a rare find: 1998 BMW M3 Convertible in gorgeous Estoril Blue with only 74k miles, well-maintained, accident-free and being sold at NO RESERVE!!

- Buying a high-line vehicle is all about service, condition and history. THIS ONE HAS IT ALL!!!

- The BMW is completely turnkey.

Meet the inventor of the BMW 3 Series wagon

Sat, 11 May 2013

It's hard to imagine, but once upon a time, there were only two BMW 3 Series variants: the coupe and sedan. Back before gran coupes, convertibles and yes, even touring models were available, buyers could only get their 3 Series fix if it came with two or four doors and a fixed roof. Back in the mid '80s, BMW engineer Max Reisbock was having some trouble fitting his whole family into his four door. Rather than suck it up and buy a van, he picked up a wrecked 3 Series and got to cutting in a buddy's garage. Months later, he had the very first 3 Series Touring ever built.
At first, he kept the the car to himself, using it to haul friends and family around, but he eventually showed it off to his friends at work. When the BMW executives found out about his project, they called him up to take a closer look. After putting an eyeball on the car, they took it, copied his design, made a few tweaks and quickly rolled out the first production 3 Series Touring. How's that for validation? Check out the video below for Reisbock's story.

Mercedes and VW battling Uber and Apple to spend billions on Nokia mapping division

Tue, May 12 2015

Whether for autonomous driving or simply better navigation, digital mapping is closely linked with the future of motoring. The sale of a major player in that industry is spurring a showdown between automotive behemoths and tech giants, and it's a fascinating battle to watch unfold. Nokia is selling its Here mapping division, and while the company might not have the name recognition of Google, it controls about 70 percent of the auto market. The business is valued at $785 million, according to Reuters, but is likely to sell for significantly more. Case in point: Uber reportedly submitted a $3 billion bid. Apple has also been rumored to be among those interested in purchasing Here. A trio of German automotive heavyweights is mounting a challenge to Silicon Valley, though. According to Reuters speaking to two unnamed insiders, Daimler, BMW, and Audi are teaming up to submit a joint bid for an undisclosed sum. They're worried that if Here falls under the control of tech companies, then automakers might have limited availability to these vital maps in the future. Nokia bought Here for $8.1 billion in 2007, according to Reuters. The company operates a fleet of vehicles with cameras and LIDAR that drive around the world to create high-definition maps. It also generates even more information by using the GPS data from shipping and trucking companies.

BMW, Hyundai score big in JD Power's first Tech Experience Index

Mon, Oct 10 2016

While automakers are quick to brag about winning a JD Power Initial Quality Study award, the reality, as we've pointed out before, is that these ratings are somewhat misleading, since IQS doesn't necessarily distinguish genuine quality issues. JD Power's new Tech Experience Index aims to solve that problem. The new metric takes the same 90-day approach as IQS but focuses exclusively on technology – collision protection, comfort and convenience, driving assistance, entertainment and connectivity, navigation, and smartphone mirroring. It splits the industry up into just seven segments, based loosely on size, which is why the Chevrolet Camaro is in the same division (mid-size) as Kia Sorento and the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class is in the same segment as the Hyundai Genesis (mid-size premium). It makes for some screwy bedfellows, to be sure. Still, splitting tech experience away from initial quality should allow customers to make more informed and intelligent decisions when buying new vehicles. In the inaugural study, respondents listed BMW and Hyundai as the big winners, with two segment awards – the 2 Series for small premium and the 4 Series for compact premium, and the Genesis for mid-size premium and Tucson for small segment. The Chevrolet Camaro (midsize), Kia Forte (compact), and Nissan Maxima (large) scored individual wins. Ford also had a surprising hit with the Lincoln MKC, which ranked third in the compact premium segment behind the 4 Series and Lexus IS. This is a coup for the Blue Oval, whose woeful MyFord Touch systems made the brand a victim of the IQS' flaws in the early 2010s. But Ford and other automakers might not want to celebrate just yet. According to JD Power, there's still a lot of room for improvement – navigation systems were the lowest-rated piece of tech in the study. Instead, customers repeatedly saluted collision-avoidance and safety systems, giving the category the best marks of the study and listing blind-spot monitoring and backup cameras as two must-have features – 96 percent of respondents said they wanted those two systems in their next vehicle. But this isn't really a surprise. Implementation of safety systems from brand to brand is similar, and they don't require any input from users, unlike navigation and infotainment systems which are frustratingly deep.
