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 planning Zhi Nuo Chinese sub-brand, may export models

Sat, 06 Apr 2013

Automakers continue to pour big money into the developing market that is China, and new sub-brands born of joint ventures with domestic partners crop up on what seems like a weekly basis. The latest? According to reports, BMW and its Chinese ally Brilliance are forming a new sub-brand called Zhi Nuo ("The Promise") that will likely rely on existing or older BMW products as a basis for new models.
Previous reports had indicated that the sub-brand could build its offerings based on an older 3 Series model (presumably the E90 series), but newer rumors have the X1 crossover (shown) factoring in. The Zhi Nuo brand could receive its official unveiling as soon as later this month at the Shanghai Motor Show.
Perhaps most interestingly, Automotive News Europe reports that the automaker's ambitions for Zhi Nuo may extend beyond China's borders. It's not clear what markets BMW may be eying, but executives admit the company hasn't ruled out Europe.

BMW reclaims US luxury sales crown from Mercedes

Tue, Jan 6 2015

The numbers, they are in: BMW has reclaimed the luxury-sales crown from Mercedes by a margin of 9,347 cars. Mercedes donned the king's headgear in 2013 after a strong final quarter of 2013 when the new CLA and S-Class poured out of dealerships. This year, led by the 3 Series/4 Series and X5, BMW sold 339,738 units – a 9.8-percent increase year-on-year. Mercedes, led by the C-Class and M-Class, saw its sales go up by 5.7 percent to 330,391 units. We'll have to wait a bit to see if there's another registrations-vs-sales challenge as in 2012, when BMW was anointed US luxury ruler. Behind them, a dark horse named Lexus nudged closer to the leading Teutons, selling 311,389 cars. The Japanese luxury automaker also had the biggest gain among the top three, its sales rising by 13.7 percent compared to 2013. Audi had the biggest sales of anyone among the top five, though, with a 15.2-percent gain to 182,011, which moved it a spot ahead of Cadillac; the Wreath-and-Crest brand dropped 6.5 percent to 170,750. Acura (167,843), Infiniti (117,300), and Lincoln (94,474) took the final positions. Speaking of Lincoln, sales at the once-mighty luxury marque stand as the mightiest jump of any on this list, up 15.6 percent. That's the power of Matthew McConaughey... and better cars and a new crossover, sure. So now that we're back to Round One of 2015, in case no one else has said it yet: "Ok, fight!"

More German automakers may be afoul of US emission standards

Wed, Sep 23 2015

Volkswagen has plenty of smoke to share, and that may mean fire for other German automakers that make diesel vehicles, says Automotive News. Earlier this month, European Federation for Transport and Environment said that BMW, Daimler's Mercedes-Benz and General Motor's Opel division are among other automakers that may have equipped their vehicles' diesel engines with similar software as VW's. That software was found to reduce emissions while a car is being tested for emissions and shuts down emissions-control systems during normal use. The European environmental group used data from the International Council on Clean Transportation. Automotive News notes that the European environmental group put out its own report earlier this month, before the VW scandal broke loose, but the report was pretty much overlooked. Now, VW is under fire after it was discovered that 2.0-liter diesel engines in the VW Jetta and Golf, and Audi A3, may be programmed to game the emissions system. VW sold almost a half-million diesel vehicles in the US during the past six years. Both BMW and Mercedes-Benz told Automotive News that the issue that befell VW doesn't apply to their diesel vehicles. Earlier this week, Volkswagen admitted its car ran the sneaky software, while the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has started a probe on the company. VW is setting aside more than $7 billion to pay for the alleged violations. Meanwhile, US taxpayers may have spent as much as $51 million a year to pay for subsidies related to VW's diesel vehicle sales in 2009 alone, according to the Los Angeles Times.
