Here is my 1990 (Build date 10/1989) BMW E30 M3 with 86,300 Miles (by sale date might be up to 87,000)
I am selling because I miss having a convertable and I am only allowed 1 toy car (and 2 motorcycles So expect to see my BMW K1200GT for sale soon too as I rarely ride that). Car is being sold AS IS WHERE IS. There will be NO TEST Drives until the auction is over. The winner gets to test drive after full purchase price deposit. If you change your mind at that point You get your money back if it is something I did not disclose or acurately describe. If you simply change your mind at that point but I did describe it acurately I only ask for a good faith $50 for relisting fee on E-Bay. If you damage it during the test drive, you bought it. But I am not a complete idiot and I do not expect someone to buy this blind so I have provided a Virtual Test drive video and a TON of pictures most taken on 4/11/2014 including the video test drive you can view it / Download at: Enjoy even though I am not Jearmy Clarkson or anywhere close. Also I am willing to take the car to Performance Automotive in Malvern PA (They are my mechanics and have done almost all of the work on the car so they are very familiar with it) if you pay for a pre-purchase inspection. But I will insist that they give me a copy that I can share online for others to view and I will need to be notified quickly as I do work and need to arrange time to get this done. First the most important feature THIS HAS A CUP HOLDER!!!!! This rare feature in these cars makes this particular one worth at least $10K More!!!! The Good Full Resolution TONS of photos including the underside from when I had the brakes and steering rack done available at as well as a Virtual Test Drive Video: All kidding asside The cup holder is not permanant and has soft foam on the clamp to not damage the interior, but I will include it for no additional charge. Extremely well documented service history over 100+ Pages of document service history Authentic BMW OEM Carbon Fiber Wing This thing is unobtanium and I have never seen one for sale see Photo and notice german writing and BMW logo (hard to see but it is there). Multiple CarFax reports over the years and original VIN Stickers in the right locations show no accident history at all EVERYTHING Works on the car except the passenger Mirror adjustment motor (Just discovered during my video test drive). Transmission overhaul and new clutch plate assembly done by previous owner at 78.5K Miles This is about as close to an EVO II M3 as you can get Fully adjustable Konis at all 4 corners VERY COLD AC Cruise Control, Power Locks, Sunroof, Roof liner all great. Excellent Paint 9.5 out of 10 New refurbished front seats, also a new refurbished rear seat is available for less than $400 Original Wheels (Yes all 5) and Original Cassette Deck included (not on or in the car). 17" BBS wheels in excellent shape Alpine stereo with USB/IPOD support (in glove box) New Cross Drilled Slotted Disc Rotors and Pads less than 2K Miles Tires in Great shape with readings of 8/32nds all around Also includes a Never Installed or opened Keyless Entry, I hate the idea of having to use a key to lock and unloc the car but before I installed it I decided to sell the car and figured someone may want it or they may want the car to remain as original as possible. WeatherTech Floor mats for the front and a set of 4 Bavarian autosport mats for front and rear. The Not so good I choose a soft Marine Grade Vinyl for the seats and not Leather, I think they feel great and look great and based on the seats for my wife's Mini they do not crack, you can get an exact matching rear seat for just under $500 from the same people that did my seats (no core needed and I have the color code in the documentation), or you could have them recover in leather, or you can switch back to the original seats as they are included as well and you can see them in the photos The Rear seat is old and just feels rough, It looks pretty good but it is completely original so time / Sun has taken its toll. Mentioned passenger Mirror motor (I just discovered it not working while creating the virtual test drive video). Front Bumper Paint probably did not have enough flex additive so there are some minor cracks and banding Small scrapes on front bumper lower spoiler (see photos) Small scrapes on 2-3 of the 5 original wheels Tires on the original wheels crap PA Inspection just went overdue (if a PA resident buys the car I can get the inspection completed before you take delivery, it will pass including emmissions no problems) If you are out of state I will ensure you have a completely full Tank in since an inspection costs about $50 in PA. In an attempt to remove dead mouse smell from HVAC I sprayed a misting of bleach in vents and it ran out and discolored the carpet in the Driver and passenger footwells Not the brightest move... I had the system taken apart and found the rodent bastards and had them removed and the entire system cleaned when I converted the AC to R134a and the carpet could easily be re-dyed with spray carpet paint. The History: This is an extremely well documented car and in excellent shape Documentation starts with its Inspection 1 from BMW of Hawaii and includes over 100+ Pages It is now located in Glenmoore PA and I bought it 2 years ago from www.classiccargallery.com You can see their original photos here: http://classiccargallery.com/details.php?id=534&g=2 FYI this is not some crazy modded time bomb this is a very mild state of tune but provides the extra Oomph you want. Turner Motorsport Performance Chip: Adding a TMS Performance Chip gives you the biggest bang for your buck! Jim Conforti tuned these chips on the dyno to boost mid range torque and increase horsepower in the upper RPM range. While not exactly producing V8-levels of torque you will definitely like the power increase across the rev band. The best thing is that there is NO downside to installing a Turner Performance Chip. urner Motorsport has been in the BMW chip business since 1995 and all chips have been dyno-tuned to achieve optimum performance and safety. As an added feature, the top speed limiter is removed. Premium 91+ octane fuel is required.
Here is the Previous Owners sales Description at S14.net Since buying the car I have done the following work in addition to regular maintenance: Replaced the subframe bushings Sent the original Low Ratio BMW M3 Specific Steering rack for a professional rebuild It is the Right steering rack for the car and does not leak anymore: Removed dead Mice from the HVAC Converted the AC to R134a and rechaged the system (Today was 70 and it was Blowing 39 Degrees F) See Photos 4 Wheel Alignment with new steering rack Fixed Cruise Control Fixed Power Locks I am willing to end the auction early for the right price and reserve the right to do so, Make damn sure it is the right price and a non refundable $500 deposit will be required before I end the listing canceling bids. For the right Price see: And compare to what I am selling here. Otherwise I take my chances with the auction Reserve is at least $9000 less than the lowest priced M3 there as of 4/11/2014 Also have your finances in order before even bidding, Payment is due within 8 Days of auction end and due to PA laws we cannot close the transaction on a Sunday if you want to go to an auto tag place to transfer title. I have the title in hand. On Apr-12-14 at 10:15:03 PDT, seller added the following information: Questions have been raised about potential smell: If it smells then I described it wrong
buyer has the right to terminate the sale and get all of their money back. After what I spent cleaning that
thing out my mechanic would hear from me on that one and knowing him he would
not charge to redo the job. But knowing him he did a really good job so it really does
not smell. Also verified by my wife who can not only smell but also hear a
mosquito fart from 30 feet. I personally have put more than $6000 into this car and they are part of the documentation between new brakes, brake lines, steering rack, subframe bushings, Air Conditioning Conversion, AC Compressor, Front Seats, and more. Clutch plate, Shifter Bushings, Bearings, Gear box Oil, Differential Oil both with Redline synthetic, a Synchro, and the miscellaneous gaskets, rubber mounts, etc. Do not forget about the cup holder!!! |

The 2014 Alpina B4 Bi-Turbo Cabrio powers up luxury and speed
Tue, 04 Mar 2014The BMW specialists at Alpina know how to exploit a niche when they see one. With the BMW M4 still not technically official, it saw the need for a higher performance four-seat convertible than the 435i 'vert. Enter the new B4 Bi-Turbo Cabrio that is debuting at the Geneva Motor Show.
The European-exclusive model takes BMW's 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged inline-6 and massages it up to 410 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque, which is less power but more twist than the M4 would give buyers. Alpina's tend to be built more as quick, luxurious grand tourers, and the B4 Bi-Turbo gets is no different with an adaptive sport suspension and an eight-speed automatic. Plus it wears the classic pinstripes and 21-spoke wheels that are the brand's design hallmarks.
While the added weight for the convertible means that the Cabrio takes 4.5 seconds to reach 62 miles per hour, about a half-second slower than the coupe, at the moment it is the only way to get this kind of performance in a BMW convertible. Orders for the convertible open in March in Europe and prices in Germany start at 74,800 euros ($102,878 at today's conversion rates).
China probing German automakers over spare parts
Sat, 26 Jul 2014The Chinese market has proven to be a boon to German luxury automakers. However, the way that the companies have allegedly been controlling their supply of spare parts has begun to draw the ire of the nation's government. According to insiders speaking to Bloomberg, officials from the country's economic planning organization have opened a probe into Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and some Japanese carmakers over claimed price inflation and limiting supply.
Specifically, the investigation centers around two aspects of how the companies do business, according to Bloomberg. Investigators want to know whether the original equipment component makers are able to sell spare parts only to automaker-authorized dealers or if they are also available to independent shops. There is also the issue of whether the price markup on replacement pieces is too high. The tight controls could be partially explained by China's reputation for producing counterfeit parts.
Evidently, the investigators haven't checked parts prices at car dealers elsewhere in the world. At least in the US, paying more at the dealer for factory components just goes along with owning a vehicle. If evidence of price fixing is found, the companies could face fines the equivalent of millions of dollars, according to Bloomberg.
2014 BMW 4 Series drops its top, priced from $48,750*
Sat, 12 Oct 2013BMW will debut its new 2014 4 Series Convertible at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November, and after seeing plenty of spy shots and, most recently, some leaked images, we now have all the official details. To no one's surprise, the 4 Series convertible is, essentially, a topless version of BMW's new-for-2014 4 Series coupe, and will be offered in the United States in the same 428i and 435i guises.
On the base end, that means the 428i Convertible arrives with the company's 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, good for 240 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque, and available with either rear- or all-wheel drive. BMW says the 428i will sprint to 60 miles per hour in a respectable 6.2 seconds. For folks in need of more thrust, BMW will happily sell you a 435i Convertible, available only with rear-wheel drive, powered by a 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged inline-six that produces 300 hp and 300 lb-ft of twist. Hitting 60 mph in the 435i will take roughly five and a half seconds with the standard eight-speed auto. Curiously, BMW did not mention anything about a six-speed manual transmission for either model, so looks like this droptop might be an auto-only affair. We've contacted BMW for confirmation, so we'll keep you posted.
Like the 3 Series Convertible it replaces, the 4 Series uses a three-piece folding hardtop configuration, and BMW says that added sound deadening reduces audible wind noise by about two decibels. Folding the automatic roof takes just 20 seconds, and can be done at speeds up to roughly 11 mph. For chilly, top-down driving (something we're big fans of), there are now three-temperature neck warmers for the front seats - just like what Mercedes-Benz offers with its AirScarf system.
