1990 Bmw M3 on 2040-cars
Peshtigo, Wisconsin, United States
More infos regarding my car at: isaiasiddrumheiser@cobblers.org .
The Quick Version:
1990 BMW M3 (E30)
Original Paint = BrilliantRot; Repainted HennaRot 1-year ago ($5000).
I've owned the car for the last 12-years
Original 2.3L S14 Engine
Original transmission (all gears shift smoothly!)
Recently had $5000 worth of engine maintenance done by certified BMW Mechanic
Setup with Ground Control Coil-Overs; Racing Dynamic Sway Bars and Strut Braces
Sparco Race Seats; Momo Race Wheel; UUC Short Shifter
4.10 Rear Diff
Lightened Flywheel + BMW "HD Clutch"
Resonator and Stainless exhaust
Rebuilt Dash Cluster; all gauges work!
Bolt-in Roll Bar / Half-Cage; Rear seat delete
All lights work; On-board Computer works; power windows & sunroof work
Discontinued SSR Wheels (17x7.5) with Toyo Rubber
Setup and maintained by certified BMW/Porsche mechanic for the last 10-years
Never Driven hard or raced, only taken out for the occasional "Track Day"
Always stored in a heated garage, always babied, never smoked in
NEVER in an accident / No body or frame repairs
This is a VERY clean example of a BMW E30 M3 with very minimal modifications; all of which were designed to improve
the driving experience. (reliability was ALWAYS the focus!)
This car would be a great candidate for a total restoration, OR as a dedicated track car.
Currently it's setup to be the best of both worlds as she corners COMPLETELY flat, yet is comfortable enough to
take my 70-year old mother for a drive.
The Long Version:
Ah- The E30 M3!
A car that you literally want to live in! Once you start driving you just want to keep going forever.
This particular car was setup to be reliable and drive as tight as possible while still being comfortable on
typical city roads.
Originally I had big plans to turn her into a replica, Group A BTCC track car, but had so many other projects
always going on that I never wanted to rip apart my beloved M3. As mentioned on Wikipedia & Top Gear (S03E02), this
is THE most successful road-going race car EVER!
Personally, I think it's a bit sad the current trend of meticulously restoring these cars and turning them into
museum pieces. The original S14 engine in this car needs to be heard at race tracks for generation after generation
so car enthusiasts never forget the sound of what many consider the best car ever built! The handling differences
between a stock M3 and one with a stiffer coil-over suspension / proper setup & damper adjustments is absolutely
NIGHT and DAY!
Suspension upgrades make this car handle completely flat through the turns while still being soft enough to take my
mom for rides. Remember: this is The Ultimate DRIVING Machine, not the Ultimate Original Condition Machine. Haha!
;-)
Completely clean chassis / CarFax / AutoCheck! No accidents or repairs! All maintenance was done with OEM parts by
the best BMW mechanic in WI. That includes:
- Main Seals,
- Main Bearings,
- Rebalanced Crankshaft
- New Rod Bearings, Cam Bearings
- New Slave Cylinder
- New Timing Chain, Timing Rail, and all other important bits.
Revs and runs like it's still 1989!!
Her name is Lily, but I'm sure she'd be OK with you renaming her ;-) I've had her for almost 15-years and it's been
an amazing journey, but now it's time to sell her and move onto the next chapter of life. It's important for me
that she goes to a good home; somebody who will drive her and baby her; not let her sit year after year.

BMW X5 driver repeatedly fails to understand big rig braking distances
Fri, 19 Sep 2014Nobody should be shocked that a big, heavy vehicle like a semi truck takes a longer distance to stop than the average passenger car; it's just basic physics. However, this BMW X5 driver seemingly has a major problem grasping the concept, and it results in some serious damage to the back of his SUV.
The whole incident is very confusing to watch. The BMW doesn't even seem to have a reason to slow down before the semi slams into the back of it at fairly high speed. But to make the situation even weirder, the crashes just keep happening again and again.
To give the BMW driver a little credit, he appears amazingly calm when surveying the damage afterward. But you have to wonder what this guy was thinking when trying a harebrained move like this. Check out the video to watch the carnage unfold.
Forza Motorsport 6's new drivable Hot Wheels cars are the best
Tue, May 3 2016Each month, Turn 10 Studios releases a new car pack for the latest installment of its Forza Motorsport video game. Sometimes that means less-than-exciting stuff coming to our Xbox Ones – BMW X6M, bleh – but this time our inner seven-year-old is beyond ecstatic. Two of the seven cars are based on actual Hot Wheels models. And. They're. Awesome. First we have the 2011 Hot Wheels Bone Shaker. Yes, there are flames on the side. And yes, there's a giant skull where the grille should be. This one came from the imagination of "Mr. Hot Wheels" Larry Wood, whose design was so popular it inspired an actual real-world creation. Like all good things in this world, it's powered by a small-block Chevy V8. Oh, and it has no roof. This will be a popular one among gamers. The other digitized Hot Wheels creation is a 2005 Ford Mustang. A modest vehicle, sure, but the toy designers have festooned this pony car with a wild paint scheme and the body mods to emphasize it. Originally developed to celebrate the 'Stang's 50th birthday, this Hot Wheels car trades Americana for wild Japanese style. There's just one functioning life-size version of this car in existence as well, but if you look hard, you might be able to find one of the 1:64 scale models that inspired it. Other highlights from this month's car pack include the latest Ford Focus RS – finally time to replace that NASCAR-V8-powered, all-wheel-drive 2009 Focus RS – the 2015 McLaren P1 GTR, the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro SS, the aforementioned X6M, and Alain Prost's 1990 Ferrari 641 F1 car. The Hot Wheels Car Pack is available for download today.

2015 BMW X4 gets its small-screen debut
Thu, 26 Jun 2014It's easy to dismiss the 2015 BMW X4. On one hand, the high-style crossover seems more like a boardroom decision than a practical one. In a world with the 3 Series, 4 Series, X3, 3 Series GT and 4 Series Gran Coupe, is BMW really being inundated with requests for a baby X6? Of course, when we finally got behind the wheel of the CUV for our First Drive, it proved rather entertaining, and certainly the X6's global sales success suggests that it's worth the relatively low-cost risk for the Bavarian automaker.
Now, it's the general public's chance to weigh in on the latest crossover Bimmer and vote with their dollars. The X4 is just hitting showrooms in the US, and BMW is beginning its marketing campaign for it with the slogan "Embrace the Unknown." The first TV ad shows off the CUV driving through the world's major cities as they undulate like the rolling ocean. A woman flatly says phrases starting with "Go," while a synth-heavy score plays underneath that wouldn't be out of place over the end credits in an '80s sci-fi movie.
Visually, it's actually kind of a cool ad and evokes some of the special effects from Inception. Focusing on an urban atmosphere is probably a good idea, too, because the percentage of X4s going offroad is likely to be in the low single digits, if that. Now, let's see if BMW buyers are willing to embrace the unknown of the X4. Scroll down to watch it for yourself.
