1998 BMW M3 sedan in ultra rare Techno Violet metallic over black leather. NO SUNROOF!  You are looking at the very best M3 sedan anywhere, hands down.  I bought the car from a fellow BMW enthusiast and BMW CCA member over ten years ago.  I subsequently sold it to a friend/client who proceeded to invest over $50k in performance modifications including a complete Dinan S3 kit.  All performance work was done at 59,200 miles in May 2003.  I re-acquired the car and the reality is that I already have too many cars.  


Dinan S3 includes

1.  Dinan Supercharger
2.  Dinan Throttle Body
3.  Dinan Exhaust
4.  Dinan Stage 3 suspension including Dinan/Koni shocks and Dinan springs 
5.  Dinan Front and rear strut and shock tower braces

 HRE  547R wheel set with 18x8 and 18x9

Separately, a port and polish on the cylinder head was done to improve air flow.  A custom aluminum radiator was also installed. VDO oil temperature, oil pressure, and supercharger boost gauge cluster sit below the on board computer.

Also installed are a Dinan fuel rail cover and engine cover, both in carbon fiber.

Brembo big brake kit, front and rear installed at 59,500 miles in June 2003.

Aftermarket Xenon headlights installed 69,960 miles 11/30/12.


This car as you can see in the pics, it is virtually showroom new.  Never tracked or abused.  The leather still is still soft and smells new as well.  NO leaks!

No expense spared on maintenance.  Frequent oil changes and all maintenance and performance work performed at Avus Autosport in Glendale, CA.  

I doubt you will find another M3 sedan of this caliber anywhere.  This car is for the most discriminating enthusiast.  Words and pictures do not do this car justice.

This M3 is for the serious enthusiast.  It currently sits in a climate controlled garage among other collectible cars.  The price is firm.  Please do not ask or offer a lower price.  This M3 cannot be duplicated.  I will keep it rather than take any less.  The car is just incredible, one of the best all around cars I have ever experienced.

BMW i8 pitted against M4 in sibling rivalry track battle

Wed, Jan 7 2015

We recently watched Auto Bild challenge the BMW i8 against the M4 in a German drag race of decide the quicker of the inter-brand rivals. The hybrid took a commanding victory in that fight. However, Autocar now has a new battle for the two coupes. The siblings are together again on the Castle Combe Circuit to find out which of them offers the more enjoyable experience at the track. Unfortunately, we don't ever get a perfect point of comparison in the video because host Steve Sutcliffe never does a full lap in anger with either of them to set a time. Instead, he focuses more on how the BMWs feel behind the wheel. Sutcliffe also admits midway through the clip that the i8's electric motor is out of juice to power the front axle's electric motor. That only leaves the hybrid with its 228-horsepower and 236-pound-feet-of-torque turbocharged three-cylinder to spin the rear wheels. Still, Sutcliffe spends ample time explaining the benefits and downfalls of driving these coupes. See where his opinion falls between the M4 as the traditional German sports coupe and the i8 as the new-school hybrid in the video, above.

BMW i8 headed to Frankfurt

Mon, 05 Aug 2013

According to Edmunds, BMW will reveal its production i8 hybrid sports car at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month. The i8 is the second vehicle to come from the automaker's new "i" initiative, following the debut of the smaller i3 hatchback last month.
The BMW i8 makes its debut nearly four years after the original Vision EfficientDynamics concept bowed at the Frankfurt expo in 2009. The production car is expected to use a 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine that drives the rear wheels, coupled to an electric motor that drives the front wheels. Combined output is said to be something like 393 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, based on our earlier reports. The i8 is also expected to be very light, with curb weight coming in somewhere around 3,125 pounds. Finally, the i8 is said to have a pure electric range of 20 miles, and should be able to hit 62 miles per hour in just under five seconds.
Other publications had the chance to ride along in the i8 (in prototype form) and came away impressed. We're hoping we'll feel the same when the car officially goes on sale sometime in early 2014. Stay tuned for more at the i8's official unveiling in just a few weeks.
