E30 M3 Race Car - New Build - VIN - WBSAK0304J2195402
History - Car was purchased out of Arizonia about 2 years ago with a cage installed. All running gear was out of the car. The body was sent to the body shop for fresh exterior and interior painting while the motor, trans, and diff rebuilt/replaced. All bushing were removed and replaced with new. Rear sub frame was removed and weld in inserts for camber/castor adjustments were installed. After painting the engine, trans, and diff were reinstalled. A custom chip was mapped with 93 octane fuel. Existing barn door AFM was utilized as was thinking of going into BMW M3T class. The car has been taken out for (2) shake down days and ran very well. Had solid engine and tranny mounts and switched back to the hard bushings (less vibration thru the chassis). The car hooks up in turns better than any car that I have driven. The differential is awesome and comes with finned Z3 cover. The car has safety switch cutoff and push buttons start. Lots of gauges for feedback on the track - oil temp, water temp, oil pressure, and Air/Fuel Meter. The items remaining for final race readiness are the installing the replacing the window net and center net and roll bar padding. The car has tons of high performance parts and would be a front runner. Please let me know if there are any questions.

- Manual BMW motorsports MS quick ratio steering rack
- New coolant hoses and heater core bypass
- Ground Control Advance design double adjustable suspension, adjustable sway bars, new bushings, solid rear subframe with 3mm adjustment, weld in rear camber/castor in rear subframe
- All brakes completely rebuilt, ABS still installed.
- Car has been corner balanced and aligned.
- Weight is around 2400 w/o driver.
Build recently completed after (2) years of assembling parts and getting work professionally performed. Engine rebuilt by The Power Plant Racing. As it has not been raced during my ownership and after build, the car will need a log book, center, window nets installed, and roll bar padding. Front and rear lexan windows are not perfect and have some scratches. Side lexan windows are brand new. Front has some slight cracking of the lexan around the curve.
Comes with (1) sets of 15"x8" kosei wheels and (1) 16" revolution wheels with full tread tires for rain. This car is very fast and handles great. I would estimate that this car that with new rubber would run sub 2:14s at VIR full coure.
Please let me know if there are any questions. Thanks for looking!

2020 Lamborghini Huracan Evo has the biggest price discount in America
Thu, Apr 9 2020Right now, buyers of the 2020 Lamborghini Huracan Evo are paying an average of $248,000 to drive the brand-new supercar off the dealer lot. That's a hefty chunk of change, but it represents $16,269 off the car's average $264,969 retail price, according to data provided to Autoblog by Truecar. That's the largest discount in America on a new vehicle for the month of April, 2020 when judged by the dollar amount in savings off the sticker. It's not all that uncommon to see a lot of money taken off the sticker price of expensive luxury cars. This month, right behind the Lamborghini sits the 2019 BMW 8 Series with a few bucks shy of $11,000 in savings, which is hardly surprising. Though it's a very sleek and entertaining car in some of its various incarnations, it hasn't exactly proven to be a hot seller for the German automaker. The fact that there are a total of 15 (!) possible configurations probably doesn't help. Two other BMWs, the 2020 7 Series ($10,164 in savings) and the 2019 i8 ($10,145) are also on the top 10 biggest discounts list. In between that BMW sandwich are the 2019 and 2020 editions of the Acura NSX. It doesn't really matter which one a buyer chooses to drive off the lot, either way lopping off more than $10,000 off the sticker price means the electrified supercar will cost just under $150k. For a look at the best new car deals in America based on the percentage discount off their suggested asking prices, check out our monthly recap here. And when you're ready to buy, click here for the Autoblog Smart Buy program, which brings you a hassle-free buying experience with over 9,000 Certified Dealers nationwide. Related Video:
2014 BMW X5 recalled over faulty child-safety locks
Tue, 27 May 2014BMW is set to recall some 6,400 of its new-for-2014 X5 SUVs built between December 12, 2013 and March 10, 2014 due to concerns that the child safety locks, if set, might deactivate without warning. The problem affects only those vehicles with the automatic soft-closing option.
According to the bulletin issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the lock mechanism on the rear doors "may not have been manufactured to correct tolerances," meaning the safety locks could disengage with a simple pull of the door handle. Basically, with a pair of tugs, the rear doors could be opened from the inside, regardless of child safety locks.
BMW is in the process of notifying owners of affected vehicles. Any necessary repairs will be conducted free of charge. Take a look below for the official press release from NHTSA.
What does the open patents deal mean for Tesla ... and BMW?
Sat, Jun 14 2014Gift to the world or trade bait? Tesla Motors announced this week it would open its patents for other automakers to use. That has analysts guessing whether the California-based electric-vehicle maker is looking to either swap trade secrets with other automakers or to expand the proverbial pie that represents the plug-in vehicle market. For its part, Tesla says the answer is B. BMW, which is establishing its i sub-brand of plug-in vehicles, would be a natural collaborator with Tesla, Forbes says. In fact, executives from the two companies met in Europe this week. Details were not released, but a BMW spokesman said, "Both companies are strongly committed to the success of electromobility and discussed how to further strengthen the development of electromobility on an international level." While Tesla brings battery technology to the table, BMW offers its carbon-fiber advancements that lighten vehicle-body weight. Those advancements are key to range-extending efforts and could do wonders for Tesla on its journey to help spur technology for the sake of getting more of the general public to accept plug-in technology as a viable first-car option. Then again, Forbes says Tesla, whose investors include Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler and Toyota, may be keeping its best technologies to itself by not patenting certain advancements at all. What's in Tesla's patent pool? uAutoInsurance analyzed Tesla's 249 patents and found that 104 of them related to battery technology, while 28 pertained to recharging activity, which wasn't surprising (about a quarter of those 249 patents couldn't readily be categorized). Tesla also has nine patents related to sunroof technology. The company is based in California, after all.
