Thank you for checking out my 1988 BMW E30 M3.  The E30 M3 in my opinion is by far the best M3 ever made.  This is a fine example of a mostly original M3 that has never been raced, mistreated or been in any accidents.  Below I have made a brief outline of the condition.  

EXTERIOR
- The car was repainted by a reputable shop and is currently in excellent condition.  It was just fully detailed and looks amazing. 
- Body is straight as can be. 
- Absolutely No Rust
- Wheels are original and in very good condition.  
- Tires have about 60% tread left

INTERIOR
- The car has it's original tan interior.  The interior is in excellent shape with no tears, marks, rips or excessive wear.  To make it showroom the interior could be refinished but that's totally up to the new owner.  
- All gauges, lights, doors, windows and electrical is in good working order.  
- Odometer is accurate and is fully functional.

MOTOR & TRANS
- Original S14 Motor was just refreshed last year and has less than 200 miles on it.  Parts replaced include JE pistons, timing chain, timing guide, head gasket set, oil pump, water pump, lower engine gasket set, intake air flow sensor, rod bearings and main bearings.  Also the head was serviced and the valves were resealed.  The block is now bored to fit the larger 94mm pistons. 
- Original Getrag 5 Speed transmission is in excellent shape and shifts smoothly.  

CHASSIS
- Completely Rust Free.  Absolutely Solid

HIGHLIGHTS
- No Accidents
- Vin tags on every panel except passenger side front panel.  Vin tags everywhere else including above the tool set and behind both the driver side and passenger side rear side markers.  

SUGGESTIONS
- Suspension could use tightening.  Drives fine but if you really want to let it rip you would benefit from having the suspension upgraded. 
- Interior is 100% original and hasn't been re-tinted.   Depending on how original you'd like to stay you may or may not want to touch the interior.
- Super Sprint exhaust is currently installed.  You may want to go back to the original exhaust if you prefer.  

This is a 1988 E30 M3 and is eligible for historic registration.  Please check with your local DMV for guidelines.  I have tried to outline the car the best I could however I realize that you may have questions.  Please ask as many questions as you'd like before bidding.  As this is a classic I definitely recommend a PPI before purchase, this is an AS IS sale and all sales are final.  You are more than welcome to setup a time with me to see it in person and take it for a test drive (deposit required before driving).   

** Please note the Autocheck in not accurate, apparently there was some documentation confusion back in the late 90's.  This is a no accident vehicle. The Carfax is 100% clean, feel free to run a report or email me for mine **

Most reliable cars and trucks of 2022

Tue, Nov 15 2022

Related: Least reliable cars and trucks of 2022   For years now, Consumer Reports has been one of the most prolific sources of vehicle reliability data around. The organization tests a number of vehicles each year and surveys its members on various automotive topics, including reliability. The results of its 2022 annual auto survey are in, and the list of most reliable vehicles has been revealed. Unsurprisingly, Toyota and Lexus dominated the list of most reliable vehicles, but BMW and Mini snuck into the top 10 as well. The list includes: Toyota Corolla Hybrid: 93 Lexus GX: 91 Mini Cooper: 89 Toyota Prius: 89 Mazda MX-5 Miata: 85 Lincoln Corsair: 82 Toyota Corolla: 81 Subaru Crosstrek: 80 BMW 3 Series: 80 Toyota Prius Prime: 77 In terms of the most reliable vehicle type, Consumer Reports says that sedans remain the best choice. Their average score is 58, which is notably better than SUVs’ average score of 51. Minivans and pickup trucks are lower, at 44 and 39, respectively. As Consumer Reports notes, many sedans are older models that have allowed their manufacturers to iron out the wrinkles, making them more reliable. Domestic automakers' SUVs and trucks performed better in the survey than their imported counterparts, with scores of 45 and 41, respectively. The study also showed that hybrids and plug-in hybrids are becoming more reliable, and have climbed the score ladder to the tops of their segments in many cases.  Consumer Reports says its study includes 17 trouble areas, including small stuff like creaks and rattles and much larger problems like drivetrain failures. The organization states that it weights each issue based on its severity to create its predicted reliability scores, with 100 being the best. A car must be in production for at least two model years to be considered for the list.

Lil Wayne's daughter gifted Ferrari GTO, BMW X4 for 16th birthday [w/video]

Thu, Dec 4 2014

It must be nice to have ludicrously rich parents. Rapper Lil' Wayne's daughter Reginae recently celebrated her 16th birthday with a huge party in Atlanta. Where many teens would be overjoyed just to get a family hand-me-down for a first car, the rapper's daughter got two brand-new vehicles – a BMW X4 and a Ferrari 599 GTO. The X4 would certainly be extravagant by itself, but it's not totally without precedent. Anyone who watched even a snippet of MTV's old show My Super Sweet 16, probably saw a few vehicles that were just as expensive. However, the concept of any newly licensed teen behind the wheel of a Ferrari is absolutely terrifying to us. This one is even crazier, with 661 horsepower and a chassis capable of lapping Ferrari's Fiorano test track quicker than an Enzo. Of course, with just 599 built, Reginae could probably just park the coupe and let it appreciate enough to finance her next big party. The BMW is reportedly going to be her daily driver, anyway. According to TMZ, Reginae's mother and stepfather bought her the Ferrari with Lil' Wayne's blessing. They believe their daughter can handle the 599 GTO, which shows some serious – if misguided – trust. Check out the video below to see the cars and her party.

M-fographic breaks down the history of BMW performance machinery

Fri, 18 Oct 2013

Few characters carry the kind of clout among performance enthusiasts as the letter M. For 35 years now, that one letter has adorned over 300,000 BMWs, each tuned to deliver a higher degree of performance than the stock models on which they're based.
The M division has worked up nearly 100 different models over the past third of a century, which can leave even the most expert among Bimmer fanatics bewildered. Fortunately British auto loan service Carfinance247 has commissioned this handy infographic to make sense of it all, and you can check it out below to see what the letter M really stands for.
