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)

    -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.

Daily Driver: 2015 BMW X6 M

Wed, May 6 2015

Daily Driver videos are micro-reviews of vehicles in the Autoblog press fleet, featuring impressions from the staffers that drive them every day. Today's Daily Driver features the 2015 BMW X6 M, reviewed by Greg Migliore. You can watch the video above or read a transcript below. Watch more Autoblog videos at /videos. VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: [00:00:00] Hey, everybody. It's Greg Migliore, and today I am driving the 2015 BMW X6 M. This is the crossover coupe that is sort of a halo SUV for BMW. It's got its naysayers but I like it. I think it's a number of things enthusiasts like. It's fast, it's curvy, it looks good, it's fun to drive, and this one that I'm [00:00:30] testing out is absolutely loaded. It comes in at more than $115,000. Now that might seem like a lot for an X6, even in M trim, but you're getting a lot of stuff here. This has got a twin-turbo V8, pumps out 567 horsepower. It's mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission, which I think is a good one, and it runs with all-wheel drive. There's a number of M treatments like the wheels, some of the aerodynamic treatments up front. [00:01:00] It looks sporty and it also has a good tough crossover feel, but it still has almost a car feel as well because the X6 was designed to have a bit of a coupe dynamic. Now inside, is really a beautiful surroundings. We've got lots of trim. It looks like carbon fiber. We've got different color stitching. There's black trim, there's orange trim, there is some of the M colors of light blue and red trim on the steering wheel. It definitely looks like a [00:01:30] loaded BMW, but also an M BMW series. You lay on the throttle you can get away from stoplights quickly, no trouble. Sounds good. There's a nice exhaust note. It got moving. It's a quick car. It can get to 60 miles an hour in about four seconds, which when you consider this SUV is above 5,200 pounds, that's pretty quick. Some people question the point of an X6 in general, [00:02:00] and especially an X6 M. You're taking an SUV with less capability than an X5 and some other SUVs in this segment and then cutting it down and making a design statement. I say exactly. That's exactly what you're doing. I like a vehicle that looks like this that has those coupe-like stylings in the back. It's a little more of a cutting edge, curvy design. I think all of that's great. Then, if you're going to do different M versions of cars, why not do an X6 M?

British automakers take costly precautions as Brexit 'no deal' fears grow

Wed, Sep 26 2018

LONDON — Carmakers in Britain have triggered some Brexit contingency plans, such as certifying models in the EU, and are working on redrawing production schedules and stockpiling more parts to defend against any loss of unfettered trade after Brexit. The moves are aimed at ensuring plants, which rely on the just-in-time delivery of tens of thousands of components, can keep operating after Brexit on March 29, but will add costs and bureaucracy which could risk their long-term viability. London and Brussels hope to agree a deal by the end of the year to avoid tariffs and trade barriers, but Prime Minister Theresa May's proposals have been criticized by both Brexiteers, who want a cleaner break from the bloc, and the European Union. McLaren Automotive is looking at having its cars certified by both a British and an EU agency to smooth sales. It is also planning to stockpile critical components and change shipments into the EU around Brexit if there is disruption. "I will sell a little more in January and February and plan to pick the volume up in May and give us a leaner period through the change point," Chief Executive Mike Flewitt told Reuters. BMW, which said last week it would move the annual summer-time shutdown of its British Mini plant next year to April, is looking for lorry parking areas and warehousing on both sides of the channel and is seeking to sign contracts to lease certain locations, a spokesman said. It is also investing in IT systems to handle any new red tape as carmakers estimate tens of thousands of new documents could be needed if tariffs and customs are imposed. The German carmaker's Brexit plans are costing millions of pounds, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters. But Honda, which builds 10 percent of Britain's 1.67 million cars at its Swindon plant in southern England, is not in the market to buy "huge amounts of warehousing space," its Europe boss Ian Howells told Reuters. "It's been a very precise calculation or estimation of what components need to be brought in," he said, adding the firm could also alter its output to sell more into the EU at the start of next year. Waste of money? Many British carmakers have also asked suppliers to look into how they would handle delays at ports, executives told Reuters, as thousands of parts, engines and finished models move between Britain and the continent every day.

BMW patents strange three-cylinder pushrod engines, perhaps for cruiser motorcycle

Thu, Mar 12 2015

For decades BMW's motorcycles were easily identified by the two opposed cylinders sticking out of each side of the bike. While you can still find this layout on some of its products, these days the company also uses a variety of other layouts, depending on the model line. Based on European patents, there might even be a Bimmer in the ranks eventually with an absolutely bizarre-looking W3 configuration. BMW actually has two separate patents on these W3 designs, and both of them have the goal of cramming three cylinders into the space of a traditional V-twin. The first splays the cylinder out into a fan shape with pushrods operating the valves. The description submitted to the World Intellectual Property Organization describes the solution as, "The embodiment according to the invention represents an as of yet unknown type of W-3 reciprocating piston internal combustion engine having cylinder angles which can be largely freely sized." The other solution is more of a modification to the traditional V-twin. Two of the cylinders share a crankpin, but the third has its own and is positioned inside the angle of the V. It's a very odd-looking engine. With BMW's assertion that these designs are meant to fit in place of a traditional V-twin, Jalopnik speculates that they could be for a future cruiser from the company, and that would make sense. While brand offers a line of sport tourers with the K1600 line, it doesn't have something more classic to take on the likes of the Ducati Diavel. Creating such a weird engine would probably grab early interest from riders.
