97 Bmw E36 M3 Rebuildable No Reserve on 2040-cars
Lebanon, Pennsylvania, United States
|
1997 BMW M3 Automatic Sedan The car was in very good condition before the accident. Everything worked and maintenance was always kept up on. Interior is in very good condition. This was one of the nicer M3's out there, it was not beat. Which is why I believe it should be brought back to life. I just don't have the time to do it. I need it out of the way. So you get a deal. I valued the car at $7000 pre accident. So if you feel you can fix it for under that, you will be making out. The car hit a wall at under 30mpg, I don't know the speed, I was not driving. Most of the impact occurred on the passenger side. That is where you will have to have the strut tower area straightened out. You will also need a new passenger front quarter panel. Passenger door needs edge straighten or replaced. Windshield needs to be replaced. Dash and steering wheel need to be replaced. Needs new hood. Everything from the front of the engine forward needs to be replaced. Driver qtr panel is salvageable or you can replace. Engine starts and runs. There is no coolant left in it, so I never kept it running. Just enough to pull it out of the garage for pictures. It doesn't look like there is any damage to any major mechanicals. Mainly the radiators, fans, and stuff up front. The engine was not pushed on hard. The expansion tank is pushed up to it, but the plastic tank would have broken if it was really pushed against the engine. The engine fan is hitting stuff, so it does make noise when running. I quick started to look at prices and I think if you do the work yourself you can make out here. Most all of the parts are standard E36 parts and there are a lot of them out there. You can get the steering wheel for $50. The dash for $100. The windshield installed for $200. The car has some UPGRADES!!!!! It has a DINAN performance chip! It is cali-legal too. It has a K&N cold air intake. It is the VANOS rattle fix. It was always well maintained. Mobile 1 every 3000 miles. I had a dealer replace the trans fluid when I bought it $500 job. Various suspension components have been replaced. Front brakes are new, slotted and cross drilled. Front wheel bearings are fairly new. New air pump control value and air pump. This is your opportunity to get into a nice M3 on the cheap. Or your opportunity to make some money. I don't want offers. I don't want questions. I don't want to show the car. I just don't have the time. If I had time, I would fix it up myself. Just bid and when you come to pick it up, if you aren't happy, we can cancel the auction. Auction is no reserve, so you will get the car. Clean title in hand. |

BMW's new strategy: Electric everything
Mon, Sep 12 2016Mercedes isn't the only car maker determined to beat Tesla before it gets huge. Sources speaking to German business daily Handelsblatt claim that BMW is in the midst of planning an executive shuffle that will also include a big shift in its electric vehicle strategy. While the company would still offer ground-up EV designs like the i3, the new strategy would greenlight electric versions of some of BMW's most important vehicles, including the 3-series sedan, X4 crossover, and iconic Mini. If the leak is accurate, management is likely to approve the change at the end of September. We've asked BMW for its take on the report, although it declined to comment to Handelsblatt. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Munich crew change tack, though. While Tesla has received hundreds of thousands of Model 3 pre-orders, i3 sales dropped in 2016 – the upscale (if oddly-shaped) EV just isn't as hot as it once was. If BMW electrifies some of its most popular cars, you wouldn't have to choose between a super-efficient, eco-friendly EV and the familiar designs of the brand's mainstream driving machines.The story originally appeared on Engadget, your guide to this connected life.Related Video: Featured Gallery Mini Vision Next 100 Concept View 38 Photos Green BMW MINI Electric Hybrid engadget
BMW, Mini to offer Amazon Alexa in all models beginning next year
Fri, Sep 29 2017Voice recognition has been available in cars for years now, but the technology has improved, and found its way into our pockets and our homes. With applications like Siri and gadgets like the Amazon Echo essentially acting as digital personal assistants, the ways we interact with technology through our voice have advanced significantly in recent years. BMW plans to take advantage of the evolved voice technology, and will offer Amazon Alexa in every BMW and Mini model beginning in the middle of 2018. Drivers will be able to use the usual Alexa features (or "skills" in Amazon speak) to get the latest news and weather, provide entertainment, or remotely control their smart home gadgets. Alexa will also perform car-specific duties, such as navigation or locating nearby businesses. Users can also check on movie times, request specific playlists or even order products from Amazon through Alexa. View 5 Photos It's the logical next step for BMW, which has allowed owners to check the status or control features of their car through Alexa's BMW Connected skill since last year. Users won't need to bring their smartphone along for the Alexa to work, as BMW and Mini models will be equipped with their own SIM cards. Alexa will be available in cars in the United States, United Kingdom and Germany. As our friends at Engadget point out, the timing is important, as Amazon risked being left behind by the likes of Apple and Google, which offer their technology in vehicles via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Amazon would do well to expand access beyond the three markets in-car Alexa will launch in, for exactly the same reason. Check out the video above for how BMW envisions users interacting with Alexa. We really hope some lucky M4 owner does, in fact, actually order a pizza while drifting on the deck of an aircraft carrier. That's a future we want to live in.

M-fographic breaks down the history of BMW performance machinery
Fri, 18 Oct 2013Few characters carry the kind of clout among performance enthusiasts as the letter M. For 35 years now, that one letter has adorned over 300,000 BMWs, each tuned to deliver a higher degree of performance than the stock models on which they're based.
The M division has worked up nearly 100 different models over the past third of a century, which can leave even the most expert among Bimmer fanatics bewildered. Fortunately British auto loan service Carfinance247 has commissioned this handy infographic to make sense of it all, and you can check it out below to see what the letter M really stands for.
