1988 BMW E30 ///M3 ~PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING~ -Re-listed due to a childish bidder- If you need to ask permission before bidding, don't waste your time- Will provide more pictures upon request! This beauty is at 85% full restoration (RUST FREE), Engine is out of vehicle and is awaiting a valve adjustment.
This 1988 E30 M3 Painted Speed Yellow! Pictures do not do the vehicles color justice! Exterior of the vehicle has been painted while the door jams, under the hood and under the trunk are still Dakar Yellow. Vehicle's original color is Salmon Silver Metallic, the original owner had the vehicle painted when the Dakar color was released, There is no sign of the original paint color anywhere except a little behind the rear seat (seat has to be removed enable to see this color) Original black interior. Well Maintained with an 1 binder filled with records that go back to the 90s for this vehicle! This vehicle was not abused it was passed down from family member to family member then I had the lucky chance to purchase it.
Vehicle is in great physical condition with 202,286 miles on the chassis, and 0 miles on rebuilt motor, Car has been prepped and restored ground up, NO EXPENSES SPARED at this time, by a local BMW shop that has been specializing in bmws for the past 20+ years. Interior of the vehicle is in decent clean shape this was my next adventure for the vehicle, their are a few cracks in the dash (a very common e30 problem) Nothing that a dash cap couldn't fix, as well as normal wear throughout the interior, Driver seat has a few tears, rest of the seats are tear free. Interior is clean otherwise. Vehicle does not have a stereo! Why would you need one in a vehicle like this?!?! Vehicle has the following mods; - Jim Conforti Chip - H&R Springs - Racing Dynamics Adjustable Anti Roll bars F+R - Momo Steering wheel - Short Shifter Items Installed around 196k Miles - Sachs clutch/pressure plate/ clutch master cylinder/ clutch slave cylinder - Lower control arms and control arm bushing - Racing Dynamic sway bar bushings - Urethane Transmission Mounts - Distributor Cap + Distributor rotor These are just some of the mods and new parts, I know I am forgetting others.
No Shortcuts were taken in this project, My intentions were to make it perfect to my liking and keep the vehicle for as long as I could. Original motor threw a rod so i had to purchase a new block, crankshaft, rods and pistons. Engine has been fully rebuilt from ground up meaning there is 0 miles on the motor painted dakar yellow, its just paint obviously you as the new owner can paint it as you please, ALL OEM parts were used, Only thing that is needed is a valve adjustment, then you would have a perfect s14 engine. Crankshaft polished, complete valve job, ALL new gaskets, New head bolts, new oil pump, new oil pump shims, New rod bearings, new connecting rod bolts, new main bearings, few thousand miles on water pump, new piston ring set, ALL SIZES ARE STANDARD. New timing chains, new timing guides except one (still in perfect condition). (I'm probably forgetting somethings) Vehicle and Engine sold together, once again engine is out of vehicle awaiting a valve adjustment and installation. I do not have the tools nor capital to continue this adventure. Vehicle is sold AS-IS where is, no if ands or buts! Vehicle is located in Montclair, California with a CLEAR New Mexico Title. Buyer is responsible for all shipping and transportation needs for this vehicle.
DO NOT waste my time or yours. Do your research and ask questions. If you are bidding on this vehicle please have a feedback of at least 3+ if you are below this amount please email me ahead of time, there is to many scams going on and fake bidders. Also HAVE your FINANCES in order before bidding.
This could be a fun quick project for the right person or family. The value of this vehicle is only rising by day. I want this vehicle to go to someone that knows what the true meaning of the e30 m3 is and will care for it and love it as much as I did. Trust me if I didn't have to sell it I wouldn't sell it. -Vehicle is also sold locally- ~Happy Holidays~ |

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners
Sat, 30 Mar 2013The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
BMW i8 headed to Frankfurt
Mon, 05 Aug 2013According to Edmunds, BMW will reveal its production i8 hybrid sports car at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month. The i8 is the second vehicle to come from the automaker's new "i" initiative, following the debut of the smaller i3 hatchback last month.
The BMW i8 makes its debut nearly four years after the original Vision EfficientDynamics concept bowed at the Frankfurt expo in 2009. The production car is expected to use a 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine that drives the rear wheels, coupled to an electric motor that drives the front wheels. Combined output is said to be something like 393 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, based on our earlier reports. The i8 is also expected to be very light, with curb weight coming in somewhere around 3,125 pounds. Finally, the i8 is said to have a pure electric range of 20 miles, and should be able to hit 62 miles per hour in just under five seconds.
Other publications had the chance to ride along in the i8 (in prototype form) and came away impressed. We're hoping we'll feel the same when the car officially goes on sale sometime in early 2014. Stay tuned for more at the i8's official unveiling in just a few weeks.
Recharge Wrap-up: Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Finishes AXCR, Nissan Leafs drive 528 million collective miles
Wed, Aug 20 2014The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV has successfully completed the Asia Cross Country Rally 2014. The plug-in Mitsu finished first in the EV class, and 14th overall, clocking in at 19 hours, 17 minutes and 12 seconds. For its second year in the competition, the Outlander PHEV used a new suspension with more ground clearance to help it tackle the race's treacherous terrain. Besides the glory of taking on the challenging competition, the rally helped Mitsubishi gather valuable data for EV development. The race took place over 1,367 miles of varied terrain from Thailand to Cambodia. Read more at Hybrid Cars, or visit Mitsubishi UK's Facebook page. Nissan Leaf drivers have driven more than 528 million miles worldwide. That accounts for a reduction of 150,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions since the EV's 2010 launch. Nissan projects that Leaf drivers will surpass a collective 1 billion electric kilometers (621 million miles) by January 2015, or perhaps even sooner if sales keep increasing. The mileage data was collected through the car's CarWings telemetry.

Whether it's battery-electric, hybrid, or plug-in hybrid, electrons will be doing their share to get the well-heeled from place to place. According to an article at The Sydney Morning Herald, PHEVs are "the most promising option." The BMW i8 is a fine example, as is the Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid, and Audi and Mercedes-Benz have plug-in plans of their own. Lexus, not so much. Read more at The Sydney Morning Herald. PGA golfer Hunter Mahan has taken delivery of a BMW i3 he won by scoring a hole-in-one. BMW offered a free, all-electric i3 to the first player to score a hole-in-one in the 2013 BMW Championship at Conway Farms Golf Club, which Mahan did on the 17th hole. The BMW Championship raised money for Evans Scholars Foundation. BMW Hole-in-One Scholar Melyzjah Smith, who was awarded a full four-year college tuition and housing scholarship in honor of Mahan's slick shot, was on hand to meet the golfer as he received his i3.
