Indiana, Pennsylvania, United States

Car is located in Indiana PA. For sale is a 1995 bmw 325i that has been completely swapped over to M3 specs or above. It has a 99 3.2l bottom end with 123,000 miles on it with obd1and M50 manifold on top. It has afe 3.5 intake attached to 3.5" HFM and the samco 3.5 to 3" boot. It has a cometic MLS head gasket, ARP head studs, schrick 256 264 cams, 255 lph fuel pump with 24lb blue top injectors, bav auto obd1 coil packs, Epic valve springs, 413 red label dme, aluminum radiator, E34 M5 clutch upgrade with grip force flywheel. The car has no issues mechanically and is driven almost daily. The suspension has all been swapped over to M3 parts along with the brakes. It has M3 side skirts, front bumper, side mirrors, badges, door sills, floor mats (brand new), instrument cluster.  Rear bumper is 325i.  The car was dynod at over 230 rwhp before the intake system and uuc underdrive pulleys were installed. The brakes are great, the suspension has no issues and performs even better than my low mileage 1997 M3 I used to own.  It has new struts, shocks, motor and transmission mounts, front control arms, new M front spindles and hubs/bearings, M3 sway bars, mounts, and ends installed within the last 10K miles.  Rear sub frame and trailing arms were swapped from another car and have rebuilt r tabs, bushings, and mounts.  The car also has front strut mount and rear subframe mount reinforcement plates welded on. It has M rear axles.  It has a Euro M3 instrument cluster and comes with a us spec M3 stock one also. The front seats are 325i sport seats, not M3 seats. Rear are M3 seats. It has a 5 speed Zf transmission (stronger). The paint is good and catches eyes from 10 feet away but has probably 8 dings when you get real close and some scratches that show up close. The car is rust free as it lived most of its life in Virginia. Interior carpet is not great but looks ok.  With a little tlc this car could be about perfect and it pulls like a train to redline. The vin will confirm that it is not an M3 but a 325i but all that means is cheaper insurance. A stock m3 is anemic by comparison.  I owned a 97 M3 and this car is a different animal.  It idles at around 900 rpms which I hardly notice and has good road manners putting around town.  At 4K rpms the car takes off.  Its a jekyll and hyde above and below 4K rpms. The car also has a UUC cup holder that holds large beverages securely, UUC underdrive pulleys, and comes with a UUC  short shift kit with dssr that are brand new, in the box, included with car.  The AC works as it should and it has Nitto invo sport tires with lots of life left.

The passenger side rear door lock is lazy sometimes.  The passenger front seat electric recline button does not function properly, it moves up and back but doesn't recline.  I pictured a repair on the driver side door where the rubber weather stripping is that was done poorly.  The interior driver door is missing the weather stripping, it doesn't affect operation but should be replaced as it limits road noise.  The center clip holding on the driver side skirt needs replaced.  It can be done with a screwdriver and your hand but I don't have a clip.  I tried to picture the overall condition of the paint. It has some scratches and wear and up close you can see its not new paint.  The hood and front bumper were repainted and look good and match.  The car will tell you coolant is low because it has a metal coolant reservoir the car does not recognize and sometimes the computer tells your the low beams had a failure but they always work.  If the car sits idling in traffic for an extended period on a hot day the check engine light will come on.  Hasn't come on for a while because 90 degree temperatures have left but it will.  I have been told this is because of the overlap in the cam running hotter and it will kill the o2 sensor quicker.  As soon as you turn the car off it clears the check engine light.  I've driven the car daily and have had no mechanical issues.  This car would run anywhere, anytime with stock reliability.  The E36 straight 6 engines are known for there reliability and durability.    724 541-2655

Mazda3 versus BMW 1 Series and Audi A3 in Euro diesel showdown

Sun, Dec 21 2014

It's not exactly a Tesla Model S taking on a Ferrari, but for us green enthusiasts, a drag race and comparison between reasonably priced diesel hatchbacks does hold interest, and UK's Auto Express was kind enough to do the deed. When raced, the diesels actually laid a little rubber coming off the line, though the track was covered in rain. Did we mention it was in the UK? The comparison was between diesel hatchbacks priced at less than 22,000 British pounds (about $34,500 US), and Auto Express pitted a Mazda3, a BMW 1-Series and an Audi A3 against each other. The results are revealed in the 11-minute video you can watch below. In short, one car smoked the others. In order to set the tone, you should know that the Mazda's 150 horsepower is about 35 more than the other two entrants. The Mazda also earned points for its quiet motor (it sounds more like a petrol engine, the host says), standard equipment that would add about $4,000 to the other two cars if included and relative roominess in front and in back. The Audi gained points for its storage space, while the BMW had the only rear-wheel-drive car in the hunt. See for yourself how the competition stacks up.

BMW i3 REx rated at 117 MPGe, 39 mpg with 72-mile EV range

Thu, May 22 2014

The numbers haven't made their digital way to the EPA's website yet, but we can now confirm that the BMW i3 with range extender will be officially rated at a combined 117 MPGe with 39 mpg once the battery runs out. That puts the amazing little city car just ahead of the pure-electric Fiat 500e (116 MPGE, combined) and behind the Honda Fit EV (118) and the Chevy Spark EV (119). In the plug-in hybrid category, it's at the top of the class, beating out the Honda Accord PHEV, which is rated at 115 MPGe but is also a much bigger vehicle. The i3 REx also has an official all-electric range of 72 miles and can go another 78 on gas (for a total of 150). When it's not carrying around the extra fuel tank and engine, the all-electric i3 gets 124 MPGe (combined), which is the currently the highest in the US. The i3 EV also has an all-electric range of 81 miles. BMW expects to deliver the first i3 REx in the US this week and delivered the first all-electric version earlier this month. There was a bit of a hold-up on the range-extender version thanks to a delay with getting these EPA numbers. Now that all the bureaucratic boxes have been checked, it's off to customer driveways they go.

2015 BMW X4 is a budget X6

Wed, 16 Apr 2014

We won't argue that crossovers are hugely successful vehicles, with automakers working to provide functional CUVs in a wide range of sizes. But over at BMW, things are just getting out of hand, as evidenced by this new X4 "Sports Activity Coupe" that debuts here at the 2014 New York Auto Show.
BMW is seeing fit to offer vehicles in even the most niche of niches, and the X4 is no exception. Want proof? Have a look at the X4, and the compare it to the X3, the 3 Series Gran Turismo, the 3 Series Sport Wagon, and the 4 Series Gran Coupe. Aside from marginal differences in things like ground clearance and the exact slope of the hatchback, what, exactly, is the difference?
Like the other models we just mentioned, the X4 is powered by either a 2.0-liter turbo-four with 240 horsepower or a more powerful, 3.0-liter turbo-six with 300 horsepower, and unsurprisingly, power is sent to the ground exclusively via the company's xDrive all-wheel-drive system. An eight-speed automatic transmission is the sole gearbox available with either engine. All sounds very familiar, right?
