This vehicle is currently located in Atlanta, GA. I am a used car dealer. I basically purchased this vehicle as a toy. I was going to use it as a track car. When I purchased the vehicle, it did not run and drive. The engine was locked. The cause seemed to be a blown head gasket. No coolant in radiator, all the coolant was in the block when we drained the oil. I had a perfect engine & gearbox out of another M5 that was wrecked badly and not worth repairing. That engine went into this car. The donor cars mileage at the time of the swap was 86,348 and the donor car was a 2002 M5. If you want the VIN to verify or pics of the donor car, just let me know.

This vehicle that I am selling ONLY comes with a Florida Certificate of Destruction. Please don't ask me why, where, how to get a title for it, etc. The answer will be I do not know. If you are the high bidder, its your responsibility to know the rules and regulations of your home state or country as well as what you can and can't do with the car once you acquire it. Included with the sale of the car will be the Florida Certificate of Destruction and a bill of sale from me. That is all.

The bad:The car was involved in an accident in its past life. It was repaired fairly, but not perfectly. The front bumper is not original, fog lights are missing. PDC sensors are not connected. Plastic panels under & around the front end were not replaced. Paint work is fair, some imperfections, but for the most part you have to be looking for them or know what you're looking for. Dent below drivers side tail light. Drivers door window regulator is not working. Aftermarket wheels, painted calipers. Star in windshield.

The good:Newer, lower mileage engine and gearbox. Fresh oil change with Liqui Moly 10w60. Some brittle vacuum hoses were replaced while the new engine was being installed. Power steering hose replaced. Car runs, drives great. No check engine light on. Brand new front rotors and pads (less than 300 miles). Interior is in very good condition. No major interior issues, no major rips, tears, odors, stains, etc. Aftermarket wheels have good tires.

Please ask as many questions as possible. I have perfect feedback and want to keep it that way. I tried to give you an honest description. If you have any other questions, just let me know. High bidder is buying the car as-is. No warranties or guarantees.

BMW V8-powered Ford Model A is the definition of Hot Rod

Thu, 20 Jun 2013

Today, hotrodding has a pretty staid definition. Take one classic American car, add one classic American V8, sprinkle with tire smoke and you pretty much have every hot rod to roll out of a shop in the last 40 years. Mike Borroughs knows it wasn't always this way. Once upon a time, getting your bucket to go faster meant grabbing whatever parts were lazing about the yard, bolting them together with a bit of ingenuity and laughing your way down the quarter mile. It's in that spirit that Burroughs built his 1928 Ford Model A.
Rather than turn to the tired flathead or the common Chevrolet small block, Burroughs plucked a 4.0-liter V8 from a 1995 BMW 7 Series. With 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, the engine has no trouble shuffling the old A around town. He had to build a custom chassis to get everything to cooperate, but the result is a 1,500-pound heathen that looks built to harass dry lake beds. You can check it out in the video below. Be warned, the soundtrack by Hanni el Khatib may not be safe for work - awesomeness of this caliber rarely is.

Jalopnik and Consumer Reports see who can pull off the best snow drift

Fri, Feb 20 2015

The weather throughout much of the United States is pretty awful at the moment with some combination of extremely low temperatures, inches of snow and maybe some ice underneath it all. The folks at Jalopnik and Consumer Reports are making the absolute best out of a difficult situation by heading to CR's snow-covered test track and attempting to make the longest drift in a quartet of very different performance vehicles. Jalopnik brought along a Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S Wagon, a Subaru WRX STI, a BMW 228i and a 1973 Volkswagen Baja Bug (heck yeah!) for the challenge. Also, the track was perfect for this group, with a mix of packed snow in places and still a few inches of unsullied powder in spots too. Ostensibly the goal was to get the tail to step out through a particular corner, but in reality this was more about having hilarious fun in the snow with fast cars. The result just looks like the best time humanly possible in this weather.

2013 BMW M3 Coupe Lime Rock Park Edition

Thu, 25 Jul 2013

Sic Transit Gloria
I like difficult cars. I like turbo "moments," dramatic weight distribution, low-grip, peaky power delivery, and overly quick steering, along with ultra-short wheelbases and any number of other non-racecar-perfect dynamic foibles. I love the newest generation of BMW cars and engines - all turbo'd up with tons of torque and power everywhere in the rev range, too. But what I think the enthusiast community will miss when this 2013 M3 Coupe becomes the 2014 M4 Coupe - replacing its idiosyncratic, small-displacement, revvy V8 for something like a triple-turbo, directly injected, inline six-cylinder powerhouse in the process - is the work it takes to drive the car fast and perfectly. Sometimes small flaws just make things better; my mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun, and all that.
The idea of this E92 M3 going away then, magnified by the loss of the M3 badge for the coupe, is at best bittersweet for me. This generation of M car is already surpassed in terms of raw thrills by the better-than-ever Mercedes-Benz C63, a car that doesn't ask its driver to sacrifice low-end grunt or the very latest in amenities in return for stellar backroad performance. Yet any time I've been lucky enough to lap a track in the M3, it has quickly become clear that the Bimmer is the better on-edge tool. With the freedom to wring the neck of the 4.0-liter V8 and room to exercise the lovely balance of the car, the E92 is hard to match (even six years after its debut).
