1995 BMW M3 Avusblau Metallic / Black Leather manual Vaders Power Windows Power Locks Power Sunroof Heated Seats Alpine CD Player with upgraded 6x9 rear speakers Factory Keyless Entry / Alarm with remote The time has come to part ways with my Avus M3. I have always wanted one of these and found this one just over a year ago. The only reason I am selling is that I have a company car and this one unfortunately just sits in the garage. I have 5 cars in my driveway, a camper and a trailer. I just don’t need it sitting anymore and want to stop hearing my wife ask “Why do you have that car?” I am a BMW nut, have had over 14 and will never sell my ’76 2002. While this car is not a cream puff by any means, it has a lot of good points and is a lot of fun to drive. I wanted a car I wouldn’t be scared to daily drive to work, and did that until I was offered my company car. The Good: Clean TN title Sunroof works smoothly in both tilt and all the way open Windows that auto adjust when you open/close the doors works A/C blows cold Alpine CD player Rear speakers have been upgraded to 6x9s with aftermarket adapter plate. Previous owner installed staggered M Contour wheels in 7.5s front and 8.5s rear New Headliner Rear 3.15 differential was replaced with a smoother 3.23 unit out of a later model E36 M3 - new Mobil 1 fluid was installed. Parts replaced in the last year: Front struts were replaced with brand new Koni Sports Rear shocks were replaced with brand new Koni Sports New RTAB bushings were installed along with UUC limiters UUC Tuned Sport springs were installed. These are comparable to H&R Sports in stance and ride New tie rods Lower cross brace from a Z3 was installed New rear shock mounts with upper shock reinforcements installed New upper strut mount rubber New front sway bar links New Clutch pedal with UUC anti-squeak/rattle clutch pedal bushings. New thermostat and water pump installed with metal blade. Metal thermostat housing installed. Kadunza Motorsport custom engraved valve cover with ///M logo and then powdercoated by Renewed Finishes. This is a thing of beauty and dresses up the engine bay nicely. New valve cover gasket installed at time of installation. New coolant expansion tank New clutch arm New UUC clutch arm bushings New radiator hoses New cabin filter New reverse light switch New M3 bumper lip Regular Mobil 1 oil and filter changes
Michelin Pilot Sports front and rear. Fronts are 225/45ZR17 and rears are 245/40ZR17. Tires are still good, however the car has been sitting for a few months and need to be driven. If anything, these will need to be replaced somewhat soon. The rears have the typical lowered BMW edges wearing.
The bad: No fog lights included. I was going to make fog light delete covers, but never got around to it. Fog light wiring is still there and switch on dash works. Car does have 1 accident in the rear from its past. Rear was repaired well and it is hard to detect. *****Read the following paragraph as I am fully disclosing everything about the car... CAR DOES HAVE HAIL DAMAGE on hood, roof/sunroof and trunk lid. From 10’ away you wouldn’t see it and the paint shines up nicely. Up close you can definitely see the dings. The rest of this car is so clean, I didn’t let it bother me. A lot of the dings could be cleared up with PDR, or just do like I did and not even notice it from the driver’s seat! I tried to take photos of this but with the glare and shine it is hard to notice. I will try to add more photos later.

BMW celebrates 30 years of M5 with 600-hp super sedan
Wed, 07 May 2014It's been 30 years since BMW rolled out the first M5, and while displacement and cylinder count may have fluctuated over those past three decades, output has only increased. The first-generation E28 M5 packed a 3.5-liter inline-six with 252 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque. The second-gen E34 model that followed added an extra 100 cc (and later 200 more) to produce 310 hp and 266 lb-ft. The E39 followed with a 4.9-liter V8 churning out 394 hp and 369 lb-ft, replaced by the award-winning 5.0-liter V10 in the E60 with its 500 hp and 380 lb-ft before BMW rolled out the latest model with a 4.4-liter V8, its twin turbos making up for the two dropped cylinders and 600 cc of displacement to produce 560 hp and 502 lb-ft of torque. But even that's being left in the dust by the new special edition you see here.
The 30th Anniversary Edition BMW M5 packs that same 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8, but cranks the output up to a nice, round 600 horsepower and a solid 516 lb-ft of torque to go with it. That makes it more powerful, not only than any M5 that's come before it, but also any of its rivals. The Jaguar XFR-S and Audi RS6 Avant (the latter only available as a wagon and not in North America) both lag behind this ultimate of Ultimate Driving Machines; only the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG trumps it on torque (but not on power), with 531 lb-ft in stock form and 590 in the S-Model.
As a result, the 0-60 time drops from a quoted 4.2 seconds in the stock M5 to a scant 3.7 in the 30th Anniversary edition (just one tick behind that twistier E63 S). The special M5 also comes with the Competition Package as standard, as well as a dedicated control module for the Active M Differential, a special Frozen Dark Silver matte finish, 20-inch alloys and black chrome badges. Special badges abound inside as well, where you'll also find black leather and Alcantara upholstery and aluminum trim. There'll even be a dedicated one-day course offered to owners at The Thermal Club in Palm Springs, CA, to further sweeten the deal.
BMW M4 pitted against i8 in drag race
Fri, Jan 2 2015Germany's Auto Bild has set up a very intriguing drag race to settle not just an inter-brand rivalry within BMW but a question of the old school versus the latest tech. The BMW M4 is a leader among the traditional sports coupes with a turbocharged inline-six spinning the rear wheels, but the M has to tackle the cutting-edge i8 with its turbocharged three-cylinder augmented with electric drive. See what happens when they go head to head. Even on paper, the race looks quite close. The i8 weighs about 300 pounds less than the M4 and also slightly nudges it out on net torque at 420 pound-feet versus 406 lb-ft. Also in some shots, the pavement looks just a little bit damp here, which would benefit the i8's all-wheel drive setup. However, the M-car has a healthy horsepower advantage with 425 hp against the hybrid's 357 hp. The race commences after a short introduction. Watch and see whether the traditional tech or latest layout wins the day.

This insane Barris-like custom car is a backyard BMW Z3 build
Fri, Jan 9 2015This is the second car made by Englishman Paul Bacon and it's called the Cosmotron, fashioned over 18 months in his backyard shed. Underneath that Jetsons bubble canopy and swinging-sixties body are the bones of a 1998 BMW Z3 with a 2.8-liter inline-six. Bacon stripped the roadster down, then built it back up using fiberglass laid over polystyrene foam, and leather hand-stitched by his wife. Bacon said he remembers how we were told that 21st-century cars would look like the Cosmotron, and since they don't, he had to fix the error. The list of 20th-century add-ons, however, is impressive, like the six SU carburetors topped off with department-store salt and pepper shakers, and the rear grille decorated with shiny plastic tops from moisturizer bottles. After driving the Cosmotron for two years, Bacon sold it to get ready for his third project. You can hear Bacon and the new buyer tell their stories in the video above.
