Bmw E30 M3 Diamondschwartz Gray Interior Excellent Condition Cold Ac Under 87k on 2040-cars
Glenmoore, Pennsylvania, United States

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!!! |

Recharge Wrap-up: Renault ZOE wins Zenn Monte-Carlo Rally, BC revives EV rebates
Tue, Mar 24 2015Renault ZOE EVs took the top four places in the 2015 ZENN Monte-Carlo Rally. Renault's cars finished first in consumption, regularity and overall standings. ZOEs took the top four spots overall and in the regularity tests, and the top five places for consumption. Renault entered four teams - two with professional drivers (finishing first and second), one piloted by journalists (placing third) and another by bloggers (taking seventh place). Another individual team entered the race with their own ZOE and finished fourth overall. The electric vehicle race took place over 130 miles and seven and a half hours. Read more in the press release from Renault below. British Columbia has reinstated its Clean Energy Vehicle Incentive Program. Phase two of the program, which starts April 1, is expected to put another 1,700 plug-in cars on BC roads. It's funded by the province's Innovative Clean Energy Fund, which gets its money from carbon taxes. Customers can receive rebates of up to C$5,000 for EVs, while fuel cell vehicle customers could get back up to C$6,000. Drivers can also get up to $C3,250 for scrapping cars built before 2000. BC is also investing in more charging infrastructure, EV fleets and outreach. See the video above, and read more from British Columbia government website and at Green Car Reports. BMW is noticing increased sales of its i3 EV tied to government incentives for electric cars. "We can see a clear connection between sales figures and political initiatives," says BMW Group CEO Norbert Reithofer. "Wherever governments offer tangible incentives for e-mobility, the registration figures for the BMW i3 soar." Last year, BMW sold about 2,000 i3s in Norway and 3,000 in California. In Germany, where BMW only sold about 2,100 i3s, Riethofer suggests the government needs to do more to support clean cars. "The German carmakers have delivered their part of the bargain. The ball is in now in the court of policymakers," he says. Read more at Automotive News Europe. Renault ZOE takes the top four places in the 6th ZENN Monte-Carlo Rally Following a sparkling victory last year, Renault ZOE has put in yet another remarkable performance at the 2015 ZENN Monte-Carlo Rally with four ZOE models taking the top four spots.
Massive Airbag Recall Affects Seven Automakers
Mon, Jun 23 2014The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a role in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time. BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall. Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the NHTSA found that moisture played a roll in determining if there would be a problem. Ford is recalling an estimated 58,669 cars that include the 2005-2006 model years of the Ford GT for the driver and passenger inflators, the 2007-2007 model years of the Mustang for the driver side and 2004 Ranger for the passenger side. It covers vehicles originally sold or currently registered in, wait for it... Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands. Honda is issuing three separate recalls regarding the problem. First, the company is recalling the 2002-2003 model years Civic, CR-V and Odyssey and the 2003 model year of the Accord, Element, Pilot and Acura MDX to replace the passenger's side inflator. This covers all models nationwide. Second, Honda is repairing the passenger's side airbag inflator in the 2003-2005 Accord, Civic, CR-V, Element, Pilot, the 2003-2004 model year versions of the Odyssey, the 2003-2005 model year Acura MDX and 2005 Acura RL. However, only for vehicles located in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. Owners will be notified in July. Finally, Honda is separately replacing some models' driver's side inflators.
2014 BMW M5 facelift shows up online
Tue, 14 May 2013Is it that time already? Like its predecessors, the current BMW M5 has been endangering US licenses since it first went on sale here in 2012, but its design became a known quantity back at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. Apparently that also means that the F10 generation has already grown tired enough to the "Must Have Latest Set" who can afford these sorts of super saloons that a facelift is in order.
If these leaked images sourced from Autocar are anything to go by, BMW stylists have used a predictably light hand to rework their hottest 5 Series, with a revised grille that echoes the M6 along with modestly resculpted headlamps. The rear end appears wholly unaltered. Interior changes gleaned from a look at the cabin photos include an updated touchpad-equipped iDrive controller and a new steering wheel cribbed from the M6.
No new word on changes to the 4.4-liter, twin-turbo V8 powertrain, but in late April, we heard that BMW was readying new competition packages for the M5 and M6. The packages are said to include 15 more horsepower, revised suspension and steering, along with new wheels and blackened exhaust tips. Given that BMW is known for habitually underrating its cars' horsepower outputs (particularly its M models) we can't help but wonder if its engineers will need to do anything other than wave a magic wand to corral those extra ponies underhood...
