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.

This 1966 BMW 1600 Neue Klasse lives on the backroads

Thu, Mar 3 2016

Among early BMWs, the 2002 gets a lot of love for being a relatively accessible, great-handling little sports coupe. Jim Huff explains in the latest episode of Petrolicious why the slightly earlier BMW 1600 Neue Klasse sedan also offers a fantastic drive – especially with some choice modifications. Huff was a fan of 2002s until his wife gave him a vintage BMW sedan model car as a gift. That toy sparked his interest in the Bavarian automaker's earlier four-door models, and he had to have one to drive. He eventually tracked down his 1966 1600 and started on a project to convert it into a great vehicle for blasting over California's backroads. Huff's 1600 still features the original classic lines, but his now includes a larger 2.0-liter engine with Weber carbs, an upgraded suspension, and improved brakes. As a result of the tuning, the vintage BMW can hang with Huff's buddies in Alfa Romeos and Porsches on curvy roads. It sounds fantastic, too. Petrolicous interviews Huff, and he discusses a little about the history of these sedans. The real highlight is seeing and hearing his BMW in motion, though. Enjoy the ride with him in this video.

2016 BMW M3 gains new colors, LED taillights

Thu, May 7 2015

The BMW 3 Series gets a few new models and some significant mechanical tweaks for its recently announced 2016 refresh. At the same time, the Bavarian brand is taking the opportunity to make some much more minor adjustments to the M3, too. BMW didn't mention the M3's changes in its announcement of the 3 Series refresh, but company spokesperson Hector Arellano-Belloc explained the updates to Autoblog. On the outside, the sport sedan now comes with full LED taillights, and the exterior is available with new colors from BMW Individual: Smoked Topaz Metallic and Champagne Quartz Metallic. The shades join Tanzanite Blue Metallic and Azurite Black Metallic from the brand's bespoke division. Under the hood, everything is the same with a twin-turbo, 3.0-liter inline-six engine making 425 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. Inside, the M3 gains the improved navigation system from the 3 Series that features over-the-air map upgrades. There's more chrome trim around the interior, as well. "Given how new it is, the changes to the M3 are minimal," said Arellano-Belloc to Autoblog. However, the tweaks show that BMW is trying to keep the performance sedan at the top of its game.
