1999 Bmw M3 Base Convertible 2-door 3.2l on 2040-cars
Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, United States
|
The car is in excellent shape, the paint looks fantastic. Cosmetically, everything is factory, with a few exceptions. The corner lights are smoke, the Roundel on the hood has been smoked, the roundel on the trunk has been replaced with an "M" logo, and the center caps with the BMW logos are not on the car right now. I can restore all of the emblems/roundel back to factory if the winning bidder wishes.
The convertible top has bee replaced within the last year and is like new. As you can see, the engine compartment and trunk are in great shape and show how well this car was cared for. The front seats have some wear on them as can be seen from the photos. Having said that, they are in much better shape than many M3's of this vintage. The car is mechanically sound. It runs and drives just as an M3 should. There are no issues, and no lights in the dash are illuminated. The car is ready to go and drive home. Mechanically, a few upgrades have been made. The clutch, brakes, suspension, and exhaust have been upgraded. The car also has a short shift kit installed. The convertible top has been replaced in the last year and the car has barely been driven since then, so the top is basically brand new. The car looks good and drives great. This E36 body style is a favorite among many M3 enthusiasts. It is clean and pure. I have put a lot of money into this car to keep it well maintained and tip top. I have owned many BMW's and several M3's. I do not beat these cars and take great care of them. Any M owner knows how to treat these cars and appreciate them. I am looking for this car to go to a good home and to an owner who will appreciate it and all the care that has been put into it. FYI I am still driving the car here and there until it sells, although I do have a second car, so it should not be seeing much in the way of additional mileage. I am putting this up with no reserve, so high bidder gets the car. Any questions, feel free to call 609.923.2233 at anytime. My dad is a huge bimmer guy and helped me by the car. I am a student and due to expenses, I am down sizing. Because of my busy schedule, my dad will be handling the inquiries and that is his cell phone number. His name is Herc. He knows more about this car and BMW's in general than anyone I know. Of course, if you are serious about the car and need to speak to me directly, he will be happy to give you my number. Thanks for looking at this vehicle and best of luck bidding. -Alex |

Plug In 2014: BMW i DC Fast Charger is poised to change the EV game
Thu, Aug 7 2014It looks like it's just a blue box on a pole, but BMW's new i DC Fast Charger represents a much bigger deal than just the lowest-cost SAE Combo Charger on the market. BMW sees it as the key to getting more drivers into electric vehicles. As Robert Healey, the EV infrastructure manager for BMW of North America told us, "For [BMW], the future is clear. DC charging really is the future." "DC charging really is the future." – Robert Healey, BMW We spoke with Healey at the Plug-In 2014 conference in San Jose, CA last week about the promise of the new $6,548 DC fast charger. "The strategy is pretty simple," he said. "BMW wants to get as many DC Fast Chargers out there as possible. We're not in the charging business, we're in the EV business and to support the sales of our cars, we have identified some key areas: home charging, public charging and assistant services for EV drivers." That's why the first of the new blue boxes will be installed at the 285 i dealers in the US, many of whom already installed the cables needed for fast charging when they put in the Level 2 chargers, said BMW's Cliff Fietzek, manager of connected eMobility. Even if you haven't gotten a site ready for a DC fast charger, the installation costs for BMW's unit are lower because you don't need to pour concrete (for the wall unit) and the SAE Combo connector plug costs "significantly" less than the competing CHAdeMO plug, Fietzek said. One minor drawback to the BMW DC fast charger compared to the more expensive traditional, full-size DC fast chargers is that the 24kW BMW fast charger allows you to charge to 80 percent full in 30 minutes, while the bigger units can do the job in 20. The good news for EV drivers with SAE Combo cars (which, in the US, means the Chevy Spark EV and the VW e-Golf) is that any driver with a Combo plug car and a ChargePoint card will be able to use the BMW stations. In fact, BMW is talking with both GM and VW on where to install SAE Combo stations in the US so that there is minimal duplication of effort. In other places, BMW is working with other automakers, including Nissan, which uses a competing fast charging standard. "In Great Britain, we are installing triple chargers, the CHAdeMO, SAE Combo and the high-power, three-phase AC that can go up to 43 kW to support the Renault [EVs] and others," Fietzek said.
2015 BMW 2 Series Convertible will flip its lid for $38,850
Tue, 09 Sep 2014
For the most part, they look almost identical to their coupe versions, except that they now boast an electrically folding soft top.
BMW is dropping the top of the 2 Series in early 2015 in the US with convertible versions of the 228i and M235i. They'll make their world debut at the Paris Motor Show later this year and will show their faces on this side of the pond at the 2014 Los Angeles International Auto Show.
Hyundai, BMW and Ford win Concept Vehicle of the Year awards
Sat, 06 Jul 2013More than two dozen jurors started with a pool of 23 concept cars introduced at the most recent Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago, Toronto and New York auto shows, then pared it down to three winners in three categories for the twelfth annual North American Concept Vehicle of the Year Awards. The trophy-bearers are said to be those "vehicles most likely to shape the future of the automobile industry," and lead their classes in the Concept Car, Concept Truck and Production Preview divisions.
Hyundai had two cars as finalists for the Concept Car category, the competition boiled down to the Hyundai HCD-14 Genesis concept, Veloster C3 Roll Top, Honda EV-STER and the Toyota Corolla Furia. It won with the HCD-14 Genesis that was introduced at the Detroit Auto Show, a sharp sedan that sharply divided opinion between those who thought it was too much, those who thought it was too much Audi A7, and those who thought it was perfect. The award panel's judges, however, thought so much of it that it's got two awards in one sitting, not only taking concept car honors, but because it earned the highest overall score in the competition it also takes the crown for Most Significant Concept Vehicle of 2013.
The final selection in the Concept Truck category was down to the Ford Atlas, Kia Cross GT, Nissan Resonance and Volkswagen Cross Blue. The Ford Atlas took the silverware, after also winning the Eyes on Design award - shared with the Nissan Resonance - at the Detroit Auto Show where it was introduced.
