1988 BMW E30 ///M3 ~PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING~ -Re-listed due to a childish bidder- If you need to ask permission before bidding, don't waste your time- Will provide more pictures upon request! This beauty is at 85% full restoration (RUST FREE), Engine is out of vehicle and is awaiting a valve adjustment.
This 1988 E30 M3 Painted Speed Yellow! Pictures do not do the vehicles color justice! Exterior of the vehicle has been painted while the door jams, under the hood and under the trunk are still Dakar Yellow. Vehicle's original color is Salmon Silver Metallic, the original owner had the vehicle painted when the Dakar color was released, There is no sign of the original paint color anywhere except a little behind the rear seat (seat has to be removed enable to see this color) Original black interior. Well Maintained with an 1 binder filled with records that go back to the 90s for this vehicle! This vehicle was not abused it was passed down from family member to family member then I had the lucky chance to purchase it.
Vehicle is in great physical condition with 202,286 miles on the chassis, and 0 miles on rebuilt motor, Car has been prepped and restored ground up, NO EXPENSES SPARED at this time, by a local BMW shop that has been specializing in bmws for the past 20+ years. Interior of the vehicle is in decent clean shape this was my next adventure for the vehicle, their are a few cracks in the dash (a very common e30 problem) Nothing that a dash cap couldn't fix, as well as normal wear throughout the interior, Driver seat has a few tears, rest of the seats are tear free. Interior is clean otherwise. Vehicle does not have a stereo! Why would you need one in a vehicle like this?!?! Vehicle has the following mods; - Jim Conforti Chip - H&R Springs - Racing Dynamics Adjustable Anti Roll bars F+R - Momo Steering wheel - Short Shifter Items Installed around 196k Miles - Sachs clutch/pressure plate/ clutch master cylinder/ clutch slave cylinder - Lower control arms and control arm bushing - Racing Dynamic sway bar bushings - Urethane Transmission Mounts - Distributor Cap + Distributor rotor These are just some of the mods and new parts, I know I am forgetting others.
No Shortcuts were taken in this project, My intentions were to make it perfect to my liking and keep the vehicle for as long as I could. Original motor threw a rod so i had to purchase a new block, crankshaft, rods and pistons. Engine has been fully rebuilt from ground up meaning there is 0 miles on the motor painted dakar yellow, its just paint obviously you as the new owner can paint it as you please, ALL OEM parts were used, Only thing that is needed is a valve adjustment, then you would have a perfect s14 engine. Crankshaft polished, complete valve job, ALL new gaskets, New head bolts, new oil pump, new oil pump shims, New rod bearings, new connecting rod bolts, new main bearings, few thousand miles on water pump, new piston ring set, ALL SIZES ARE STANDARD. New timing chains, new timing guides except one (still in perfect condition). (I'm probably forgetting somethings) Vehicle and Engine sold together, once again engine is out of vehicle awaiting a valve adjustment and installation. I do not have the tools nor capital to continue this adventure. Vehicle is sold AS-IS where is, no if ands or buts! Vehicle is located in Montclair, California with a CLEAR New Mexico Title. Buyer is responsible for all shipping and transportation needs for this vehicle.
DO NOT waste my time or yours. Do your research and ask questions. If you are bidding on this vehicle please have a feedback of at least 3+ if you are below this amount please email me ahead of time, there is to many scams going on and fake bidders. Also HAVE your FINANCES in order before bidding.
This could be a fun quick project for the right person or family. The value of this vehicle is only rising by day. I want this vehicle to go to someone that knows what the true meaning of the e30 m3 is and will care for it and love it as much as I did. Trust me if I didn't have to sell it I wouldn't sell it. -Vehicle is also sold locally- ~Happy Holidays~ |

BMW 3 Series wagon configurator up, priced from $41,450
Mon, 25 Mar 2013If you're still smarting from the shock of the BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo, we have good news for you. BMW has just fired up the configurator for the 2014 3 Series wagon. Prices start at $41,450, excluding an $895 destination and handling fee. The price tag will buy you a 328i xDrive Sports Wagon with a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine boasting 241 horsepower paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission as standard equipment. The automaker's xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive is also standard, as is a fuel-saving auto start/stop function and 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped in all-season run flat rubber.
Buyers can step up to Sport Line trim for $2,600, and doing so graces the 3 Wagon with 18-inch wheels, high-gloss black accents outdoors as well as a sport leather steering wheel, high-gloss or aluminum interior trim and a black signature key fob. Luxury Line trim will set you back $2,300 abd features chrome trim accents outdoors and wood trim inside along with other goodies. Buyers can also opt for Modern Line trim at $2,300, complete with a turbine-design 18-inch alloy wheel, matte chrome trim bits outdoors and a range of interior trim options.
Our favorite of the bunch? That would be M Sport trim. While the tweaks are largely aesthetic, we dig the notion of 8-way power adjustable sport seats indoors and exclusive M Estoril Blue paint outside. Expect to pay $3,950 for the pleasure. Head over to the BMW site to build your own.
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.
A look back on BMW, South Carolina and Southern manufacturing
Sat, 29 Dec 2012It has been 20 years since BMW broke ground on its Spartanburg, SC manufacturing facility, and while the automaker doesn't have any plans to mark the moment, economists and industry analysts have taken a closer look at the facility's impact on South Carolina, the South and global manufacturing. As of November, the Spartanburg plant's 7,000 employees cranked out 25,000 vehicles per month, and BMW has poured some $6 billion into the state since the plant opened in 1993. While that figure nearly matches the state's proposed budget for next year, some say there have been drawbacks.
To begin with, South Carolina provided BMW with hundreds of millions of dollars worth of public money and tax breaks with little public oversight, setting a precedent that would repeat itself with other corporations. The Detroit News reports that a Pew Center evaluation found 26 states didn't have a sufficient system for evaluating tax incentive performance. But BMW opened the door for a Southern manufacturing renaissance, with automakers from Mercedes-Benz to Hyundai and Volkswagen opening plants in the Deep South.
While states have raced to offer ever sweeter tax and cash incentives for big manufacturers, officials say BMW is proof the system can pay dividends. You can read the full piece here.
