For sale is a 1999 BMW E36 M3 Convertible. This is a genuine E36 M3, not a clone.
I am a BMW enthusiast and have taken car of this car in the 2+ years I have owned it, which includes professional detailing every 6 months, and hand waxing the entire car every month in between. The previous owner, an older gentleman and also an E36 enthusiast, took care of the car the same way. To start, this is a very clean car with fewer than 80,000 miles, relatively low for a 15 year old car. The car is finished in Cosmos schwartz (black) over a stunning (and very rare) Modena interior, which offsets the black very nicely. In fact, there were only 104 E36 M3s convertibles made for the US market with this color combination, a testament to the car's rarity. The paint is 7.5/10, there are some blemishes, but nothing major. The car has never been in an accident, and the all the molding that came with the E36 M3 is in tact. The top was replaced before I bought the car and is in good shape. It was patched just before I bought it (see pic), but is solid and will last quite a while. Speaking of the top, it goes down without an issue; occasionally, I will have to give it a slight push, which is common with older E36 convertibles, but usually that is not the case. The more you use the top, the better it is, and since I only drive it in good weather (never in winter/snow/rain), I have it down all the time. The interior of this car is quite special. As stated above, this is the Modena interior, which has become very desirable in recent years for people looking at the E36 Ms. The seats are in excellent shape, though there is some cracking on the leather in the driver's seat (to be expected), but it is nothing serious. You may judge for yourself from the pictures. The car also comes with the original floor mats, which I have steam cleaned every year as part of the detail process. I cannot find Modena floor mats anywhere, including from Bavarian Autosport, the leader in wholesale parts for BMWs in the US. Therefore, I've done my best to preserve them, considering their rarity. Everything in the interior works, except for the digital clock, which is sometimes visible and sometimes not. All the other digital instruments work. What also makes this car unique is that it comes with both the Premium (10 spoke M wheels and Harmonn Kardon sound system) and Cold Weather packages (heated front seats). Speaking of the wheels, note that they are in excellent shape as well, with no curb rash or damage. This car is 100% original bone stock. Many of these cars have been modified in some way. Not this car. The engine is as exactly how it left the factory in Regensberg, Germany (no aftermarket computer chips, turbo boosters, etc). The S52 inline 6 was one of the best engines BMW had/has made. The US models had yellow side markers, which many people who own E36 M3s have swapped for clear or smokey lenses. While they may not look as cool or updated as the clear lenses, the yellow lamps are a testament to the originality of the car. The only thing that is aftermarket is the stereo system; the E36s were know to have crummy radios, and the previous owner put in a Kenwood System complete with CD player and ipod hookup. Recent service on the car includes: New suspension system, complete with Bilstein heavy duty shocks in the back and new struts in the front ($2200) New power steering pump and reservoir New alternator New spark plugs New brakes (rotors, calipers, and pads) This car has never been raced, tracked, thrashed or abused. Only cared for. I would really like to see it go to a good home, and to someone who appreciates it like I do. The E36 M3s were special cars. Feel free to contact me with any questions or more pictures. |

BMW i3 starts near $35,000; NA first deliveries January 2014
Mon, 08 Jul 2013While in Germany at the first early pre-production drives of the hotly anticipated BMW i3, BMW people finally hinted at a price ballpark. Numbers being tossed around by pundits have actually been pretty close to what BMW is discussing internally - between $35,000 and just over $40,000. We have been assured now that the base price, should one choose to buy and not lease in the Euro zone, is just over 35,000 euro, with some big taxes included in that price. In the US, the starting price for the fully EV plug-in version should be $34,500 or right thereabouts. In addition to new pricing, we've also gotten our best-yet look at the i3, with the freshly uncovered spy shots you see here.
European deliveries begin in November of this year for the fully electric version of the rear-wheel-drive i3 with 168-horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. The e-motor mounted over the rear axle is supplied with energy by the 22-kWh lithium-ion battery pallet under the passenger compartment. Recharging happens in any of three ways: public or personal garage plug-in charge station (garage version not included in the price), the onboard system's Pro Eco mode that adds resistance to the drivetrain in a type of rolling brake energy recuperation, or through the normal brake energy and off-throttle coasting regeneration more common to EVs. Range on a full charge of this drivetrain is said to be upwards of 100 miles under hyper-miling conditions.
Perhaps the best bit of news is that the alternative, range-extending, two-cylinder 600cc engine supplied by BMW Motorrad for the hybrid version of the i3 - mounted in the rear together with the e-motor - will add only 2,000 euros in Europe and about $2,000 in the US. This is a range-doubling solution that could have brought a much higher price gouge, so thank you, BMW. The hybrid e-drive i3 version arrives a couple months after the full-EV launch version. Remember that, unlike the very similar system for the Chevrolet Volt, the system in the i3 supplies no mechanical torque to the driven axle and is only used as a generator (a system BMW first used last year in the 1 Series-based Active ). The US is seen as the clear number one market for the i3.
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.
2016 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance: It's all in the details
Mon, Aug 22 2016It's no secret that Pebble Beach is an ode to gorgeous, and mostly, classic cars. The car show may be a place for automakers to showcase extremely expensive cars to wealthy buyers, but it's also one of the go-to places for enthusiasts that love automobiles and culture. While it's easy to be overwhelmed by the overall beauty of a car, the real magic often needs closer inspection to be realized. Every car at Pebble Beach is a work of art, but the true beauty of the vehicles lies in the details. And Autoblog's photographer, Drew Phillips, managed to capture the details on some gorgeous cars. From the Lamborghini Miura's exquisite steering wheel to Rolls-Royce's Spirit of Ecstasy, it's all at Pebble Beach. We think the details on some of the cars are prettier than the cars themselves, but don't take our word for it. Check out the beautiful gallery above and enjoy the tiny bits and pieces behind some of the prettiest cars in the world.
