*** This is a relist by eBay user knapp001 via a new eBay account. If for any reason a serious buyer is uncomfortable purchasing the car via this username I have no issue relisting it with my primary username prior to purchase. To find out why I ended up creating new username, please see the bottom of this listing. Thanks for looking! *** This car started life as a stock 1998 BMW M3, but was completely decked out by Active Autowerke to the tune of over $35,000 ($23,650.95 in 1999, $6,851.14 in 2006, and $5,196.33 in 2012). All of the work was done by Active at Active, and it is fully documented. In fact, I have every piece of documentation for this car since the day it rolled of the lot, and all of the work has been done by either Active, BMW or a certified BMW mechanic. This car pushes about 470HP according to Active. It has never been abused or raced. I purchased the car from the original owner who kept it as a Sunday driver, which is represented by the less than 42,250 original miles on the odometer. The beauty of this car is that it drives like stock, albeit with a lot more of a kick. It drives and handles exactly like a BMW M3 should...not like the disappointing 240HP stock M3s that leave you wanting more. The car has received all of its required service and it remains in great operating condition. The tires have about 5,000 miles on them, the rotors and the calipers have a ton of meat on them. This car needs nothing, but a new driver. Here is a list of some of the major mods: AA Turbo Stage 2/Gen 2 Package at 12 psi boost AA Stainless Exhaust AA Stage II Intercooler AA Front Strut Tower Brace Koni Adjustable Shocks and Strut Kit with RD Lower Sports Spring Kit Stand-alone F.I. System High performance Clutch AA Aluminum Flywheel Chrome Air Grill Brembo 2 Piece Racing Brake Kit Eternal Wastegate HKS Turbo Timer HKS Variable Boost Controller AA "X" Brace lower front Chassis RD Swaybar Kit Dual Gauge A Piller with Boost and Air/Fuel OBD II upgrade Aluminum Radiator AA Diff Support Bracket Kit I would rate the interior and exterior at a 7 out of 10. The matching hardtop does not leak, and the soft top has almost never been used. I can provide copies of the documentation and any additional high resolution pictures by request. The car also comes with an additional set of staggered wheels and tires. The wheels are not in the best of shape, but all four of the Perrelli PZERO tires have less than 1000 miles on them (bought and mounted in Nov. 2012). The KBB private party value of the car is: Excellent - $12,103 Very Good - $11,803 Good - $11,628 The Truecar Private Party Sale Price is Low Range: $14,188 Market Average Sale Price: $14,413 High Range: $14,639 Recommended List Price: $16,575 If you include the cost of the car, there is almost $90,000 in this car (all of which is documented). The car has a clean Autocheck and Title. The car and I are in Pebble Beach, Ca. Buyer is responsible for pickup or shipping, but I will help in anyway I can once full payment is received. ***I am not a new eBay user. I have been selling on eBay since 2000 through my other username: knapp001. Please free to message me at that username to confirm ownership. The only reason that I created this new username is due to eBay's vehicle listing policy, which has labeled my primary account as a "high volume seller". As some of you know, eBay users are permitted to list 6 vehicles a year without an insertion fee (instead they pay a final value fee of $125), but if you relist the same vehicle that will count against your 6 listings (i.e. 6 different vehicles each listed one time and 1 vehicle relisted 6 times is the same thing). Despite being unaware of this policy when I relisted a vehicle too many times, I have no issue with it and feel that it is fair. However, if an eBay user ever goes over this 6 vehicle limit the user is permanently labeled as a "high volume seller" and the user is never again permitted to take advantage of the 6 insertion free listings. The alternative is paying a $50 insertion fee for each listing and relisting. This is directly from an eBay customer service rep who stated they do not agree with the policy and that eBay gets a lot of complaints about it. Their recommendation was to either use a friends account or create an entirely new one to circumvent this policy.*** |

ROEV lets you use multiple charging networks with one account
Thu, Nov 19 2015It may be a textbook case of a first-world problem, but any EV driver who doesn't want to carry two or three plug-in vehicle charging station cards when one would do is about to get a little smile on their face. This morning at the LA Auto Show, the new ROEV Association was announced that will let EV drivers carry just the one card. While you would think the all-caps ROEV stands for something, none of the pre-announcement materials nor the website explain it that way. Instead, it seems to just be a play on rove, which makes a lot of sense. There are three charging networks involved in ROEV: Blink, ChargePoint, and EVgo. Conveniently, these are the three largest in the US and have a combined 17,500 public chargers across the country. If you've got an account with one of these three networks, once ROEV goes into effect (expected in the spring of 2016), you'll be able to use that card at any participating charger without signing up for another account. Your personal details are kept private, ROEV says, and the companies coordinate behind the scenes to make it work. Pricing details were not disclosed. Besides the three main charging networks, two automakers are also founding members of ROEV: BMW and Nissan. ROEV says that Audi and Honda have also have already joined the Association and the organization wants to pull in all EV stakeholders to make electric vehicle charging easy. Fans of EV technology will note that ROEV has nothing to do with promoting either the CHAdeMO or the SAE Combo (CCS) fast charging standard. The Leaf is a CHAdeMO car while the i3 uses CCS, for example. The charging networks, of course, provide both kinds of plugs and don't promote one over the other. Tesla and its Supercharger network are not involved in ROEV, but Tesla drivers can, of course, participate in ROEV.
BMW reacquires original factory as classic center
Thu, 27 Feb 2014BMW was barely two years old when it started manufacturing airplane engines in a factory on Moosacher Strasse in Munich. Two years after that, it sold the factory to Knorr-Bremse AG, a leading manufacturer of brakes for trains and commercial vehicles, and BMW moved into a new facility on Lerchenauer Strasse. There it expanded into the industrial giant we know today, building engines for cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats and planes. It's taken the better part of a century to get that original factory back, but that's exactly what BMW has done, reacquiring the expanded facility from Knorr-Bremse this month.
The factory on Moonsacher Strasse will now serve as the headquarters for BMW Group Classic, the division that handles archives and historical vehicles for BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce. From there, just a stone's throw from corporate headquarters and its main plant (as well as BMW Welt and the BMW Museum), the classic division's operations will include a restoration workshop, vintage parts store, the company's archives, administration as well as a place to hold events. In addition, there will be an exhibition space for historical vehicles from the company's considerable collection.
At the heart of the new/old campus is the gatehouse, which is a protected heritage site and will serve as a gateway into the company's history. Read the full details in the press release below.
See the BMW 3 Series morph through history in this animation
Fri, Apr 29 2016The BMW 3 Series is now over 40 years old, and the folks over at Donut Media have put together a very cool animation to commemorate its four decades on the road. The minute-and-a-half-long video shows some of the highlights of the 3er's career, with the side view morphing from the super-basic 1975 E21 316 to the Group 5 racecar based on the same chassis, and up to the current F80-body M3 in Austin Yellow, with stops along the way highlighting different body styles from each of the car's six generations. The color names are at least as interesting as the little info callouts scattered around the video, and the sound bites of racing commentary are a definite treat, so be sure to have your speakers on. Another plus is that you can halt the video between morphing and create some very weird looking BMWs. As a bonus, the creators offer posters of the iconic German cars. It's another clip in a series from Donut Media that brought us an earlier 911 evolution video, so be sure to watch that one as well for a quick automotive history recap. Donut Media is also asking for suggestions on what to morph next. You can leave your ideas in the YouTube comments.
