1999 BMW M3 coupe
-Techno Violet exterior on Dove Gray leather interior.
-Fully loaded. 
-Sport package.
-Power Vader seats.
-5spd manual trans.
-78,xxx original miles.
-All original.
-Meticulously maintained.
-Only serviced using OEM BMW parts, including original BMW motor oil since new.
-Only 93octane Super petrol at the pump.
-Never modified or abused.
-Clean and clear history and title.

Mechanicals:
-The car starts on the first turn of the key every time.  Idles perfectly steady with no problems whatsoever.  The motor pulls extremely strong throughout the entire RPM range with full power and proper compression in all six cylinders.
-OEM clutch that feels and performs like new.  Transmission shifts perfectly throughout all gears with a tight and precise throw.  Absolutely no slipping, grinding, crunching, or problems of any kind. 
-Steering and suspension both feel excellent and leave the driver with full confidence.  Very sporty with tight and precise mannerism, although retaining that world renown BMW comfort on those longer drives.    
-Brakes are all newer and work flawlessly.  Hand brake also locks extremely tight.
-All electronics work as they should.  Rare powered Vader seats, original option.  The sought after OEM+ CD43 radio/headunit is installed, however the original tape deck radio is included.  The original CD changer is also still in the trunk and works as it should. 
-All lighting work as they should with no flaws.
-A/C blows ice cold on the hottest of days.  The heat also works flawlessly.  Perfect pixels and fully functioning climate control unit (very common problem with this model is a faulty climate control unit).
-Absolutely no warning lights or CEL on the dash cluster.

Cosmetics:
-Beautiful original Techno Violet paint in immaculate condition.  Before owning this ///M3 the thought of a purple car would have made me cringe, however I must say in full honesty that this is one of the cleanest, classiest, and coolest colors I have ever seen on any car.  The photos do not do justice for the condition of this car's paint, I welcome any serious buyers to come see for yourself.
-All plastic trim is in great shape and still deep black in color with minimal fading.
-All glass is original and flawless.
-The Dove Gray leather interior compliments the Techno Violet paint very well creating a subtle, yet extremely attractive color combination.  The carpets, door panels, and headliner are all in excellent condition with no stains, rips, or tears of any kind.  The dash is excellent as well with no cracks or defects of any kind.  The powered leather Vader seats are in great shape for their age, although they are not in "new" condition.  They are, however, extremely presentable and very in respectable shape giving their age and the nature of such a light color.  There are no stains, rips, tears, or holes in any of the seats.  The rear seats and passenger front seat are a solid 9.5/10 -- however the driver's seat is an 8/10 due to expected and common wear on the bolsters.  In all honesty, a simple "Leatherique" treatment would really bring the Vader seats up to par with the rest of the car.  In no way, shape, or form is any upholstery work required.  Unfortunately I am my own worst critic, but in reality almost everyone who sees the interior in person raves about its condition.
-The original spare tire, jack, tool kit, and entire trunk are in excellent, unmolested condition.
-The engine bay is extremely clean and appears to have been detailed regularly since new.  All plastics and rubber hoses are in excellent shape and are still a very deep black in color.  All fluid reservoirs are clean and presentable with no leakage.  
-Absolutely no leaking fluids anywhere.

Upgrades:
-Stainless steel STROMUNG exhaust.  Super high quality made in Germany and retails for $700 USD.  Looks, sounds, and performs incredible.  In my opinion, the best made and best sounding exhausts for the E36 ///M3.
-New black leather shift boot with tri-colored ///M stitching.
-OEM BMW ZHP weighted shift knob.
-OEM BMW CD43 headunit. 
-High quality aFe air intake which also improves sound and performance.

Disclaimer:
Despite being a meticulously maintained and low mileage example of this German built sport coupe, it is a used 1999 model year ///M3 with 78,xxx miles.  For its age, the car is immaculate, but one cannot expect a brand new car.  It is not without very minor flaws and blemishes, which are inevitable and should be expected on a vehicle that is 14+ years old.  Mechanically the car is without fault, and it is all up to date on any and all services.  Regular care and maintenance is required to keep this car in perfect working order.  Car is sold as-is, where-is.  No warranty is express or implied.  I encourage all interested parties to come feel, see, and hear this beautiful machine in person.

Feel free to email with any questions or concerns.  Good luck bidding!

A few detail I forgot to mention: (1)-The car was bought new in California, and remained in that beautiful warm and dry climate until 2008 where it was purchased in New York. It has always been garaged when not in use since it has been in NY. (2)-Absolutely NO RUST anywhere on this car. Structurally sound and solid. (3)-The original DSII wheels have been refinished in a Nogaro Silver color which compliments the car's color combination perfectly. The wheels are clean, cool, and beautiful. (4)-All four tires are like-new. Goodyear Eagle GT with 225/45 in the front and 245/40 in the rear. Very reliable, grippy, and comfortable tires with no road noise.

BMW, Mini aim to sell million cars off new FWD platform

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

Mini sold 301,526 cars in 2012; BMW sold 1.54 million of its own models. According to a piece in Autocar, analysts say the coming UKL1 platform that will form the skeleton of the third-generation Mini Cooper and coming front-wheel drive BMW 1 Series could be responsible for "more than 900,000 cars per year" all by itself.
That sale fire is fueled by the UKL1 wearing up to twenty-three bodies in total between the two brands, 11 for Mini and 12 for BMW, rendering hatchbacks, sedans, coupes, convertibles, wagons, crossovers and people-haulers from about 12.5 feet to 14.5 feet. In April the VP of Mini USA said we might find some current models don't make it to a next generation, but a graphic accompanying the Autocar story has them all there. If it's correct, then those 23 models will only base model lines and don't account for different engines and four-wheel-drive options for each model.
The big changes that would perhaps mean big sales for the Mini line are a five-door hatch with two smaller rear doors for children, the sedan talked about last year for Asian markets and an MPV perhaps wearing the "Traveler" name that could send the Countryman in a more SUV-like direction.

BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe and Concept 90 pics from Villa d'Este

Thu, 30 May 2013

Royalty and the ultra-wealthy rubbed damp shoulders at this past weekend's Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este on the shores of Italy's Lake Como, but even the rain couldn't extinguish the excitement generated by the millions of dollars of cars and bikes on display. Nowhere was this more true than with BMW, which marked the occasion with the reveal of two stunning concepts with six wheels between them - the shark-nosed Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe and the retrosexual Concept 90 motorcycle.
Conceived with Italian design house Pininfarina, the Gran Lusso Coupe is a power broker on 21-inch wheels. While we're not completely sold on every element of its design, this twelve-cylinder two-door concept moves us more than the current 6 Series, and not just because it has four more cylinders underhood and 48,000-year-old kauri wood paneling inside. BMW is sadly mum on production hopes, but we're not entirely optimistic - the company has graced us with a number of attractive concepts at Villa d'Este before, only to pack them away again without ever affording them a production future.
If one of these concepts has a better shot at finding its way into dealers, we have to believe it's the Concept 90 under the BMW Motorrad umbrella. Designed to celebrate the 40th anniversary of BMW's R 90 S, we think this Roland Sands Design air-cooled boxer would look fantastic on today's streets, especially with the rising popularity of vintage motorcycles and cafe racers.

Hands-on with BMW's Open Mobility Cloud at CES

Fri, Jan 8 2016

BMW had a bevy of cutting-edge technology ready for the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show that ran the gamut from a laser headlight for motorcycles to replacing the mirrors on an i8 with rear-facing cameras. The German automaker's most potentially life-changing (or most creepy, depending on your attitude) concept was the Open Mobility Cloud that aimed to connect the vehicle with a person's daily agenda, sort of like the way many folks use their smartphones. The tech includes a sci-fi piece of furniture called the Mobility Mirror that looks straight out of Star Trek. The pane of glass displays everywhere a person needs to go during the day, offers appointment reminders, and tracks vehicle charging. It even sends an autonomous car out of the garage when the owner picks up the key to leave the house. Get a better look at this cutting-edge connection between the home and the automobile from Autoblog editor-in-chief Michael Austin, direct from CES.
