Up for sale is a nice 1997 BMW M3 selling at NO RESERVE. Final bid owns this beautiful machine.  This is the 4 door sedan version with the highly sought after luxury package. This recent trade in is in need of some work but would be the perfect vehicle for someone with the mechanical aptitude to get it running perfectly again. These cars are truly one of the best deals in a sports car around.  When the E36 M3 hit the market, Car and Driver dubbed them "The Best Handling Car at Any Price".  One drive and you will see what they mean. The car always feels in complete control of the drivers hands and is solidly planted when taken into corners.  The light, yet evenly distributed weight of the car makes the car seem even faster that what you would expect looking at the motor specifications on paper(240hp).  Despite being ready for the track from the factory, these vehicles make excellent daily drivers. I have had a number of this generation M3 and I generally average 20mpg city and 28mpg highway.  For those familiar with the platform, you are well aware of their durability but for those new to these cars,it is unheard of to hear of a motor wearing out on this generation of M3....there are plenty on the road with over 300k miles and running good as new.

Here is a detailed rundown of the condition:
Exterior: The exterior of this vehicle is in good shape for any vehicle....much less one this old/with as many miles. The paint is still glossy and the only notable body "damage" is a small crack on the lower lip of the front bumper. As expected, there are numerous rock chips on the front bumper. I would say this car is in the condition you would expect of an average 80k mile car, if not better. The wheels on this car are in amazing condition. They must be off of a lower mile vehicle because they show no signs of wear/age. The tires are nearly new and have about 90% tread on them. The right front tire has a slight bulge on one of the sidewalls. The car does have a spare tire but the wheel is bent on the lip.

Interior: The interior is in good to decent condition and shows no signs of ever having been smoked in. The power sunroof works as it should and all windows except the drivers side window work. This vehicle comes with the luxury package which brings with it two tone seats, wood grain interior and heated seats(and premium HK sound). The hood latch inside is broken and you need pliers to pull the cable. Drivers inside door panel is loose...I assume the previous owner was going to replace the window motor.

Engine: The engine runs extremely strong with no odd knocks or noises. The engine runs as strong as the M3's ive had with only 50k miles on them.

Transmission: There is a transmission or sensor issue that causes the following: for the first couple of minutes of driving, the car "bogs down" and seems like it is stuck in 4th gear from the start. After warming up and driving for a few minutes, the car shifts as it should.  Once on the interstate or highway, it shifts between the gears flawlessly and the motor runs like a top.  I am looking more into the issue but perhaps you know more about it. Either way, at worst case scenario, used transmissions routinely go for $300-$500 for these cars and are not difficult to install as transmissions go or would be the perfect candidate for a manual transmission swap.

For what I suspect this vehicle will sell for, you would be able to part it out for a good profit. I cannot bring myself to do this with the vehicle being in such good shape. I have driven this car for an hour straight without it leaving me stranded but since I don't drive it every day, I would not recommend taking it on a road trip any longer than that.

I take great pride in fully disclosing the condition of my vehicles. Please call with any questions you may have about the car and let me know if I can help locate an auto transport company for you. There is a mandatory $120 dealer doc. fee on all ebay/internet sales

NOTE: $500 deposit due within 24hrs of auctions end. After this point, it will be offered to the next highest bidder if you cannot complete the transaction. Full payment due within 10 days of auctions end.

BMW launches new M Performance accessories for M5, M6

Wed, 16 Oct 2013

Those looking to make their stock BMW look like an M model might be interested in an M Sport package. But those who already drive an M model and want that extra bit of attitude to take it over the top look towards the M Performance Accessories catalog, to which BMW has just added a new range of add-ons for the M5 and M6.
The new range of accessories include a titanium exhaust from Akrapovic that's 22 pounds lighter and an extra bit throatier than the stock unit. BMW's also offering a carbon-ceramic brake kit and 20-inch alloys to accommodate them, as well as a carbon aero kit, carbon interior trim and those trademark stripes for the truly extroverted BMW performance enthusiast.
You can check them out in the gallery above and the press release below to see what Martin Tomzczk, the DTM driver sponsored by BMW M Performance Accessories, chose for his matte black M6 Gran Coupe daily driver.

Editors' Picks May 2021 | BMW M3, Toyota Camry and some hot Golfs

Thu, Jun 3 2021

We awarded Editors’ Picks status to a number of performance cars this month, but a couple more regular sedans won out, too. April saw us recognize four models, but that increases to six for May. As the weather warms up here in Michigan, we tend to get into the sports cars that we missed driving all winter, resulting in a sports car-heavy month of testing. That explains why the list this month is so heavy on sports cars and hot hatches. In case you missed our previous couple Editors' Picks posts, hereÂ’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in May that earned the honor of being an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2021 Toyota Camry 2021 Toyota Camry XSE Hybrid View 22 Photos Quick take: The Toyota Camry retains its place as one of the best midsize sedans you can buy. It comes in a variety of trims and powertrains, from the potent TRD model to the fuel-sipping hybrid. It's an attractive, functional and well-rounded car offering value and function. Score: 8.5 What it competes with: Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata, Kia K5, Nissan Altima, Mazda6, Subaru Legacy, VW Passat, Chevy Malibu Pros: Highly versatile, efficient hybrid, fun-to-drive sport models Cons: Average infotainment, polarizing exterior, slow base four-cylinder From the editors: Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore — “The Camry is one of the standard bearers in the midsize segment. With many companies abandoning this area, the ones that remain — like Toyota — do it well. Long a bastion of boring design and sleepy driving dynamics, the Camry is now legitimately attractive and offers a range of powertrains. It's a solid entry and along with the Honda Accord, makes the case for midsize sedans to exist." In-depth analysis: 2021 Toyota Camry Review | What's new, pictures, hybrid and AWD fuel economy   2022 Volkswagen GTI The new Volkswagen Golf GTI View 23 Photos Quick take: With engaging dynamics and distinctive styling, the GTI remains the standard for enthusiast hatches.
