Very reluctant sale of my 4/87 build 1988 M3. I have started small family and with new house have no room to keep her anymore. Car originally purchased in Atlanta in 1988 then moved to South Carolina where its been since. I have owned car last 15 years and have only put about 10,000 miles on her in that time. Previous owner resprayed car in about 1996 in original Diamantschwarz and added M color pinstripes under clearcoat. All sheetmetal is original and all show same VIN #. Again hood, front fenders, doors,trunk, rear fenders all show same OEM VIN# ending 5509. 100% original interior with black leather on grey carpet (some stains) and perfect headliner. I removed radio and have never cut into any interior panels for speakers. A/C works but is NOT cold. Power sunroof and windows work but driverside power mirror does not. Perfect crackfree, scratchfree dash and all original glass except for rear windshield that was replaced after dent (pictured) put above 3rd brakelight. The only panel gap thats not perfect is right rear corner where bumper meets quarter panel. There is crease (pictured) in sheetmetal under right rear tail light area of trunk, this was there when I purchased car. Paint is ok on sides and has good shine but horizontal areas hood, roof, trunk have dulled some from sun exposure. Clearcoat has peeled in several spots(pictured) and there are afew scratches and dimesize dings around car. Trunk wing shows worst clearcoat cracking and peeling as most e30 M3's do. Only rust on car is 3 surface rust spots (pictured) one under rear quarter glass and rolled lip of front fenders where paint peeled (pictured). Grill and trunk M3 emblems were removed when resprayed and never replaced. Car has original s14 engine that has never been into with about 197,500 miles. I say about because odometer broke no more than 300 miles ago. This is common issue on 80's BMW's as plastic odometer gears strip, Google it. Car starts and idles fine although starter sticks about 50% of time. There is intermitant loud noise until motor warms up that I would describe as powersteering related or possibly one of belt pulleys on front of motor. Only real issue I have ever had was what I thought to be fuel delivery problem but since changing ECU in glovebox, plugs, fuel filter, and disconnecting altitude sensor by cold air box she has run great! With only 10,000 miles in 15 years i've done several oil and filter changes but no one brand oil. Driving wise brake pedal is firm with lots of pad still, clutch pedal is crisp and no problems going thru gears. Car does'nt pull left or right on highway and shocks feel good. Wheels on car are 17' BBS RGR 1 piece with 95% tread Kumho tires. I am including OEM 16" BBS basketweave wheels that have old AVS Yoko's, however I have not located wheel center covers at this time. I will not accept offers before end of auction and won't do ppi because car could obviously use maintenance and tuneup with this mileage. Please call with any questions 803-261-6849 and I welcome any visitors to view car.

BMW suing Saab Automobile Parts for $3.2M
Fri, 24 Aug 2012Saab might be all but dead, but that's not stopping automakers that were once involved with the Swedish brand from attempting to reclaim losses. According to a Fox Business report, BMW has filed a 2.6 million Euro suit ($3.2 million USD) with a Swedish district court against Saab Automobile Parts for deliveries that went unpaid.
In 2012, Saab Automobile AB signed an agreement BMW that would see the German automaker deliver four-cylinder gas engines for its 9-3 range.
The suit also asserts that Saab ordered a large number of spare parts, and no payments were made to BMW. At the time, Saab was far from liquid, and filed for bankruptcy in December of last year.
Next BMW 5 Series hits the 'Ring
Fri, Apr 24 2015Here are our latest photos showing the new BMW 5 Series, codenamed G30, testing at the Nurburgring. Based on the fairy door on the left front fender, we'll take this as the purported PHEV version that we caught last time around on German city streets. According to the insiders at BMW Blog, the 5er hybrid will take heavy inspiration from the X5 xDrive40e, including the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with electric assistance and a combined power rating of about 300 horsepower. The lighter CLAR architecture making its way under the 3, 5, 6, and 7 Series models is expected to remove anywhere from 80 to 100 kilograms in the 5, enabling non-US markets to partake of the 150-hp, turbodiesel three-cylinder engine at the entry-level end. However, the engine symphony will run up the scale through four-, six-, and eight-cylinder registers that include a 400-hp M550 diesel and a 600-hp V8 in the M5. The tech story is 'Go Go Gadget G30,' with rumors of autonomous abilities like being able to overtake other cars on its own – and signaling beforehand – and parking itself. Inductive charging through a floor-mounted plate, as shown at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, a new iDrive layout with a touchscreen and gesture-enabled functions, and over-the-air updates are also expected. We could see it revealed at next year's Geneva Motor Show, or maybe the 2016 Auto China, in Beijing, or sooner.
NHTSA gives okay for three automakers to skirt tire-related recalls
Thu, 25 Jul 2013BMW, Honda, and Mercedes-Benz are all going to avoid small recalls, after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued petitions for "findings of inconsequential noncompliance" to the three manufacturers, according to Tire Business. Basically, the petitions allow the brands to avoid recalls for some very, very minor issues.
BMW had tire placards on 364 X6 M CUVs that stated the car could only handle four passengers, when in reality it had room for three in the back. Actual plausibility of fitting three real humans in the slope-roofed Bimmer aside, the Munich-based manufacturer argued it was inconsequential, as the placards were correct regardless of the number of passengers.
Honda's case focused on 212 2011 and 2012 Acura TSX sedans equipped with 18-inch wheels. The TPMS systems on these cars were set for 17-inch wheels, rather than the larger hoops, but even with the lower settings, the tires maintain adequate load capacity.
