1995 Cosmos Black E36 Obdi(s50) Bmw M3 Base Coupe 2-door 3.0l on 2040-cars
Dupont, Washington, United States
|
Hello fellow enthusiasts/E-bay surfers, I'm
putting my prized OBDI E36 M3 up for sale for the sole reason that I am
moving to Germany in 3 months and I cannot take it with me. That is
also the reason I am asking for such a low price, because I don't have
much time haggle prices. Shoot me an offer! Runs and drives like a dream, and the exterior is in amazing condition, especially for it's age! Just a few minor chips and scratches. Nothing major, all from age and previous owners. No missing parts. Surprisingly well kept leather interior all around. The driver seat is pretty much the only seat that shows age wear and it's not by much. The last owner ran a garage, so he had everything he needed to take really great care of it. I am the third owner and I have put just as much pride into the M3 as the previous ones. For most of the time I've owned it, it has been stored in the
garage when not driven. It was at 218,XXX miles when I bought it. It is currently at 233,107 miles and well maintained and kept.
Obviously being almost 2 decades old took it's naturally expected toll
on a handful of the OEM parts and workings, so I did a few good system
overhauls and part replacement/upgrades! If anyone has any questions on
what OEM/aftermarket work and tuning has been performed please feel free
to ask. That being said I'll get into the pros and cons lists of my
baby. PROS: -New rear tires: 235/40ZR-17 Sumitomo HTR Z II (500 miles) (Super Grabby!) -UUC steel clutch line (3,XXX miles) -UUC delrin clutch pedal bushings (3,XXX miles) -Cross-drilled rotors (19, XXX miles) -Bilstein shocks from TMS (19,XXX miles) -New slave AND master clutch cylinders (3,XXX miles) -Radiator (5,XXX miles) -Water pump (5,XXX miles) -Alternator (5,XXX miles) -Fan Delete "Mod" (800 miles) -Low temp thermostat (800 miles) -Both belts and all pulley wheels (800 miles) -Euro Air Box w/ snorkel -Euro 3.5" MAF (10,XXX miles) -TMS engine chip (500 miles) -SSI Stealth Undershield -Euro clear corner lights, tail lights, and side markers -Stealth Auto's chromed light bulbs in all turn signals -Self made clutch stop -Euro Samco intake boot (500 miles) -New OEM hood shocks -Brand new OEM fog lights (glass) -Newer style BMW Badges (painted) for both hood AND trunk (no more pesky sticker emblems that chip away) -Recently replaced headlight control switch -Freshly painted valve cover (Flat Black/High Temp) -Heated/ Fully Automatic Seats -Automatic Sunroof -OEM Wood Interior Trim -Original BMW multi-disc CD changer w/ spare disc cartridges -All interior lights recently replaced, including odometer, radio, A/C controls, and OBD -I just removed all the old faded tint from probably 1995, so the windows are fresh and clear -A LOT of extra goodies come with it. -OEM Spare M-Contour Rim (no tire/never used) -Euro 3.5" Comforti C/F Intake -US Air Box -US MAF -Extra ///M badge -OEM Engine Fan -US intake boot(x2) -All original Manuals, window sticker, and leather bound BMW binder for all your paperwork CONS(not many): -Paint: just a few minor chips/scratches, nothing major -Driver seat release cable is broken at the very end, so it doesn't manually release forward. It has been this way since before i owned it. It's an easy fix, but I haven't had any need to get around to it. -JUST recently the passenger side window motor has decided to work when it wants to. The window only gets stuck up, not down. Super annoying, but all it needs is a new passenger window motor and it'll be fine. As far as shipping goes, buyer are responsible for pick up/transportation. If buyer is within a 150 mile radius, I am willing to arrange a meeting/drop-off. I can work with pretty much any mode of payment. Cash in hand is ALWAYS preferred though. |

Project CARS vs reality at Laguna Seca shows amazing potential
Mon, 28 Apr 2014Project CARS is aiming to be the next great racing sim. Offering a mix of modern and classic cars on famous tracks, developer Slightly Mad Studios is trying to inject a fresh energy into the genre, and at the moment its game looks ready to take on Forza and Gran Turismo.
The game is still about six months from release, and the graphics already look practically photorealistic. The video below shows side-by-side laps of Laguna Seca in a BMW - real life on the left and the game on the right. It's absolutely astounding. Other than some changes to the sponsorship around the track, they are almost identical.
Of course anyone with quality seat time in a racing sim knows that graphics are just one factor. How the game feels is even more important, and without getting hands on, it's impossible to judge yet. However, consider our interest piqued. Project CARS is scheduled to launch in November on the Sony PlayStation 4, Microsoft Xbox One, Nintendo WiiU, Windows PC and Steam OS. Scroll down to check out the video.
BMW confirms X4 for next year, i3 preorders starting to add up
Wed, 20 Mar 2013BMW has confirmed the long-anticipated X4 will bow next year. Norbert Reithofer, chairman of the automaker's board of management, made mention of the upcoming CUV during remarks at the company's annual accounts press conference. Reithofer said that BMW has sold more than 2.7 million X models since it began producing the machines, and that the company plans to expand those offerings with the new X4 next year. He declined to offer up any more details, though from what we've heard so far, the model will be more of a crossover than either the X3 or the X5.
Reithofer also made it clear that BMW is getting serious about electric vehicles, saying the i3 (pictured above, in prototype form) is "definitely coming to market" and that the runabout will be ready by late 2013. BMW reports it has had "Several hundred advance orders" for the EV. As you may recall, the i3 uses a special carbon fiber reinforced plastic passenger cell to save weight and boasts a standard range of 93 miles. You can read the full transcripts from the press conference below for more information.
2015 BMW M3 Sedan
Tue, 20 May 2014BMW's all-new M3 Sedan is dynamically nearly identical to its two-door M4 Coupe sibling: a stopwatch reveals that both are sub-four-second cars to 60 miles per hour, a racetrack proves that the mechanical twins are equally as adept on a road course and a full afternoon of driving on public roads demonstrates that each possesses talented everyday adaptability.
Yet after driving both BMW models back-to-back over two full days in Portugal, it's clear there are a few noticeable differences, both objective and subjective, that don't require instrument testing to reveal. All it takes is a few hours behind the wheel of both cars to conclude that one is slightly more agile, and the other a bit more twitchy. One has better outward visibility, while its counterpart is unquestionably more convenient.
It is the little things - subtleties attained through seat-of-the-pants observations - that eventually allow me to choose a favorite.
