Valley Stream, New York, United States
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!

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. On Oct-21-13 at 20:12:49 PDT, seller added the following information:I also forgot to mention that the cooling system has been serviced very recently, including a brand new radiator, with receipts.

Next Jaguar F-Type rumored to get BMW M-sourced 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8
Thu, Oct 11 2018Unless we're discussing the Porsche 911 or Chevrolet Corvette, trying to predict the future of any sports car out there would stump even Miss Cleo. Reportage takes a walking dead theme, as with the next-generation Audi R8. Or it delves a succession of intel from "reliable sources" on every possibility, each one wilder than and incompatible with the last. The newest turn in the rumor cycle for the next-gen Jaguar F-Type says Jaguar's coupe will be fitted with a BMW-sourced 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8. The gossip comes courtesy of Georg Kacher writing in Car magazine. It closes the loop Kacher opened in 2016 when, writing in Automobile, he said BMW was hammering out a deal to provide V8 engines for the top-end Jaguar and Land Rover products. The deal would put more money in BMW's pockets for an engine that's expensive to develop but doesn't sell in large numbers, while weaning Jaguar off the thunderous and thirsty Ford-sourced 5.0-liter supercharged V8. We haven't heard anything else about that deal in the meantime. Since Kacher says the next F-Type will come in 2020, it seems the coupe would be the first car in the JLR range to get BMW power — specifically, BMW M Power. The 4.4-liter V8 codenamed S63 by BMW, but supposedly codenamed Project Jennifer inside JLR, makes 560 hp in standard form, or 625 hp in the M division's Competition vehicles. The current F-Type R Coupe puts out 550 hp, the SVR Coupe puts out 575 hp. However, the cloud of F-Type rumors is wide and nebulous. The head of JLR North America said last year that every product launched after 2020 will have some form of electrification, and we haven't heard of any hybrid plans for the 4.4-liter S63 V8. The next BMW M3 is said to get some sort of hybridization, but that sedan uses an inline-six. When Road & Track spoke to Jaguar design head Ian Callum earlier this month at the Paris Motor Show, the mag asked about a hybrid F-Type. Callum said electrification "is not necessarily the plan," adding, "There's not a plan, to be honest with you." He said what he'd like to do is "a mid-engine-style electric car." When Auto Express reported on Callum's wish, the mag called the product "a hybrid mid-engine supercar" with " dreams of taking on the McLaren 570S and Audi R8," using a V6 engine and powertrain components from the I-Pace. As a pure electric or a hybrid vehicle, this could be a way to get a C-X75-inspired sports car on the road, but it's not an F-Type replacement in either soul or price.
Is Audi getting complacent and suffering from brain drain?
Wed, 27 Nov 2013The argument is made in a Reuters article: Audi is falling behind other luxury brands, such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, due to a lack of research-and-development spending and "brain drain," or the migration of top executives and R&D chiefs to other parts of the Volkswagen Group. Reuters notes that Audi's current R&D chief is the third in 16 months.
Audi, which contributed to 40 percent of VW Group's $11.6 billion in profit the first nine months of the year, is delivering cars at a record pace: 1.31 million were delivered from January to October 2013 versus BMW's 1.35 million. Yet Audi, Reuters reports, doesn't have a halo car akin to BMW's new electrified i3 and i8 or an answer to Mercedes' plug-in-hybrid S-Class, and the R&D spending at Audi is less than BMW and Mercedes by a fair margin. It's noted in the article, however, that Audi benefits from other R&D spending within VW Group.
Reuters mentions that BMW "trumpets its new 'i' series" and the new Mercedes CLA and GLA ranges are winning "rave reviews" as part of its argument that Audi's recent lack of technological innovation could hurt future sales. Those cars do pack tons of new technology, some of which are firsts for mainstream production cars. But last time we checked, the i3 could be causing BMW's stock to slide, the CLA isn't receiving the rave reviews that Reuters would have you believe and the GLA hasn't been reviewed yet.
Jalopnik and Consumer Reports see who can pull off the best snow drift
Fri, Feb 20 2015The weather throughout much of the United States is pretty awful at the moment with some combination of extremely low temperatures, inches of snow and maybe some ice underneath it all. The folks at Jalopnik and Consumer Reports are making the absolute best out of a difficult situation by heading to CR's snow-covered test track and attempting to make the longest drift in a quartet of very different performance vehicles. Jalopnik brought along a Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S Wagon, a Subaru WRX STI, a BMW 228i and a 1973 Volkswagen Baja Bug (heck yeah!) for the challenge. Also, the track was perfect for this group, with a mix of packed snow in places and still a few inches of unsullied powder in spots too. Ostensibly the goal was to get the tail to step out through a particular corner, but in reality this was more about having hilarious fun in the snow with fast cars. The result just looks like the best time humanly possible in this weather.
