1995 Bmw M3 Clone 3.2l Obd1 M50 Manifold Cam on 2040-cars
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 |

BMW reacquires original factory as classic center
Thu, 27 Feb 2014BMW was barely two years old when it started manufacturing airplane engines in a factory on Moosacher Strasse in Munich. Two years after that, it sold the factory to Knorr-Bremse AG, a leading manufacturer of brakes for trains and commercial vehicles, and BMW moved into a new facility on Lerchenauer Strasse. There it expanded into the industrial giant we know today, building engines for cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats and planes. It's taken the better part of a century to get that original factory back, but that's exactly what BMW has done, reacquiring the expanded facility from Knorr-Bremse this month.
The factory on Moonsacher Strasse will now serve as the headquarters for BMW Group Classic, the division that handles archives and historical vehicles for BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce. From there, just a stone's throw from corporate headquarters and its main plant (as well as BMW Welt and the BMW Museum), the classic division's operations will include a restoration workshop, vintage parts store, the company's archives, administration as well as a place to hold events. In addition, there will be an exhibition space for historical vehicles from the company's considerable collection.
At the heart of the new/old campus is the gatehouse, which is a protected heritage site and will serve as a gateway into the company's history. Read the full details in the press release below.
BMW broadens engine bolt recall to nearly half-million cars worldwide
Fri, 11 Apr 2014Almost one month ago, we reported on a BMW investigation into a potentially defective bolt that lived in the company's VANOS variable valve timing system. At that point, the potential recall was seemingly limited to Chinese-market cars; the company was filing a recall application with Chinese officials.
Today, Bloomberg is reporting that the engine bolt issue has expanded into a recall for several world markets, involving some 489,000 vehicles. BMW was able to verify that report to Autoblog, while also providing a great deal more detail about the issue and vehicles affected.
The recall affects vehicles powered by N55 inline six-cylinder gasoline engines equipped with VANOS and Valvetronic technologies. 1 Series, 3 Series, 5 Series and 5 Series Gran Turismo, X3, X5, X6 and Z4 models from the 2010 to 2012 model years are included, as is the 2012 6 Series.
