 Very Rare 1995 E36 BMW M3 - ENGINE has only 78,000 miles on it, Avus Blue, Lt Gray Leather Interior w/ Vader Front Seats

Clean Title, Heavily Modified and Finely Tuned.  I have the CARFAX also.  To answer the first question on everyone's mind, I am posting this because it is becoming impractical for me and my family to have it.  My family is growing, I need a four door vehicle or a house with more garage space.  Since the later is less realistic for me, the car can be replaced for something the whole family can use.  This car has been a joy to build and use.  I've owned it for about 6 years and have clocked less than 6,000 miles per year on it.  It has been babied.  Any little tick or sound has been remedied and fixed about the moment I notice it.  I have documents and receipts totalling over $27,000 in repairs and modifications not including what I paid to buy the car.  I'm sure there are several hundreds of dollars more I don't have receipts for repairs and modifications.  Repairs were to replace worn out parts, like the alternator and water pump, and modifications are a plenty.  I bought this car from my best friend who needed the money at the time.  Besides the engine swap, I did the rest of the modifications. 
The only thing that is left original on this car, basically, is the drivetrain and disc brakes. 

Here is a list of the changes made to this car from stock:
 

The car remains
OBD I
3.0 motor replaced with a new 3.2 liter motor at 111,246 miles
Rebuilt head with Schrick 264/256 cams, new oil pump, timing chain, and related parts
New sensors all around
M50 intake manifold instead of the M52, more restrictive, intake manifold
Shorty header exhaust manifold
Borla stainless steel cat-back exhaust
V-3 Vortech Supercharger
Treadstone TR1035 front-mount intercooler
Custom intercooler/intake piping
Metal by-pass valve
Bosch 3.5" Porsche mass air meter
42lb Bosch green giant fuel injectors
Walbro 255 lph high-flow fuel pump, new fuel filter
Custom power steering re-location kit
New OEM alternator
New radiator
Rebalanced driveshaft and new related parts
UUC lightweight flywheel
UUC segmented kevlar clutch
UUC ultimate short throw shifter and double sheer connecting rod
New starter
Lower X-brace
H&R sport lowering springs
Bilstein Shocks and Struts
K-Mac adjustable camber kit
30mm front and 24mm rear sway bars
Active Autowerke Rear Differential Bracket
Full size spare
Two sets of wheels/tires:
     BBS RK 17" silver wheels with BFGoodrich G-Force KDW 235/40r17 tires, fronts 50%, rears 95%
     Chrome 17" BMW M wheels with 2 Michelin Primacy Alpin 225/45r17 snow tires, 65%, and 2 Bridgestone Blizzak LM-50 225/45r17 snow tires, 75%.
Gorilla lugnuts guaranteed to never rust or break
Porterfield RS-4 Brake pads all around
Custom FINE-Tune from Technica Motorsports
Dual A-pillar gauge pod with sport comp vacuum/boost gauge and sport comp electric fuel pressure gauge
PLX DM-6 Wideband Air/Fuel Multi-Gauge, PLX Air Intake Temperature Gauge
New interior fan
Glass Angel-eyes headlights with HID 6000k low beams and Fog lights, clear corners,
replacement rear tail lights 5-series style, no amber turn signal and side marker lights
Limo tint all windows behind the driver, 50% tint driver and passenger window

There are most likely parts i've missed listing, but the major stuff is there.  I have tons of extra parts too.  The A/C blows cold and everything works.  I have a sub-box and amp in the trunk too.  The little computer in the center console had some pixels not working so I just unplugged it.  From what you could read, it worked just fine, it just annoyed me.  There are some paint blemishes on the front from regular driving on the crappy Utah roads, tiny rocks and stuff are unforgiving.  There is also a crack in the LF headlight casing and bumper cover in the center area.  There are minor scratches here and there, but barely noticable.  I tried taking pictures of them, but they just don't show up well enough, that is how minor they are. 

This baby dynoed at 302 rear wheel horsepower at 6 psi of boost.  I'm sure if you drove it down to sea level it would dyno around 375 rear wheel horsepower and be pushing around 9 psi.  I have a group of friends with a similar setup on their M3's and they are at sea level and that is what their power and boost levels are at.  She is a sleeper for sure.  I pass the emissions tailpipe sniffer and inpection every year with flying colors.  This car is fully street legal and safe with a CLEAN title.  I drove it to work and back for the last 6 years which is why you will only see about 5-6,000 miles per year on it.  My bride hates driving the clutch and we hate packing the family in the smallness of it when we take it out.  Like I said before, it is impractical for me and my family. 

I am looking for the right buyer.  I have it listed locally (and reserve the right to end the listing early) and have many offers from my BMW CCA.  Since I am not desperate to sell, we (our group including the people offering) decided to have some fun with it.  We wanted to see how high an offer I can get for it in a 21 day period which is why it is posted here.  We high-balled the buy-it-now just so we can give some breathing room for the offers. 
To help give you an idea of what we are looking at and what offer you might want to make, the lowest offer I have is 10,000 and that is locally and cash.  It will sell for at least that.  


The car is genuinely for sale and I am not up a creek if it doesn't sell so, p
lease, no low ball offers and if you come to see it, no joy rides.  I respectfully ask for serious interest only.  Obviously nobody can buy this car with a conventional auto loan, you'll need more than that.  Thank you for reading this far.  Please email me with ANY questions before you bid or offer.  I will be happy to talk over the phone too, just email me if you're interested.  The car is sold AS-IS with no warranty expressed or implied.  I'll only accept cash or a cashiers check from a reputable bank or credit union.  Once payment has cleared I will give up possession of the car.

BMW mulled ten, eight, and six-cylinder engines for i8 before going hybrid

Wed, 09 Oct 2013

There's little doubt that the 2015 BMW i8 is one of the most radical and groundbreaking performance cars this industry has seen in a long time. From its unique carbon-intensive construction to its 1.5-liter, three-cylinder and electric motor plug-in powertrain to its concept-car appearance, the flagbearer for BMW's new i venture challenges the very notion of what it takes to be a supercar.
Yet apparently the i8 almost didn't do that at all. Yes, it probably still would've had innovative assembly techniques, serious performance and come-hither bodywork, but according to a new report in the Telegraaf, it was very nearly a much more conventional beast, drawing its power from a V10 engine. According to the report, that line of development never got much beyond the drawing board, but BMW engineers then shifted their focus to both V8 and six-cylinder motivation, going so far as to build prototype cars. The higher cylinder-count engines were eventually dropped altogether after BMW decided to turn the i8 into a hybrid, with the six-cylinder reportedly nixed due to heat management and weight issues. In the end, of course, BMW went with the PHEV powertrain that offers a total system output of 362 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque - plenty of thrust for this lightweight, all-wheel drive coupe while still enabling an incredible 94 miles to the gallon on the EU cycle. Regardless of how it turned out, it's still fascinating to think that BMW didn't have a much firmer conceptual idea of what it was after when it started the i8's development.
Here at Autoblog, we're genuinely thrilled about this new generation of greener hybrid super- and hypercars, a movement spearheaded by the i8, Porsche 918 Spyder, Ferrari LaFerrari and McLaren P1. But even so, our inner-gearheads can't help but wonder what might have been had BMW pursued a more conventional i8, either in place of, or in addition to, the car they did build. What do you think?

10 electric cars we’re excited are coming soon

Thu, Sep 22 2022

If you were considering buying an electric vehicle a couple years ago, we wouldn't fault you for thinking your options were limited, both in terms of quantity and quality. You just might not have been able to find an electric car that would suit your needs, lifestyle or budget. With the newest generation of EVs that have launched in the past year or two, your options have changed — and improved — dramatically. If you still don't see an EV you like, just wait a little while longer. It won't take long. There are a whole lot more on the horizon, and the problem may soon be in narrowing down your options. To give you an example, here are 10 electric vehicles we're excited about that you'll be able to buy very soon, from GM, from Germany, from Japan and more. Some of these will be available by the end of the year, and all are expected to launch by the end of 2023. The Chevy trio: 2024 Blazer EV, Equinox EV and Silverado EV GM is stepping into the future with strong footing. Following high-end electric launches from GMC (Hummer EV) and Cadillac (Lyriq), Chevrolet is bringing three electric vehicles with familiar nameplates. The 2024 Chevy Blazer EV (above left) will offer a number of versions, starting with the 2LT and RS trims in the summer of 2023, followed by the 557-horsepower SS in the fall and the base 1LT in early 2024. The 2024 Chevy Equinox EV (above right) will go on sale in fall 2023 as a limited-edition model, with volume sales ramping up in 2024, with a base cost of “around $30,000.” For those who prefer a bed to a liftgate, the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV is an electric pickup that looks more like the old Chevy Avalanche than the current Silverado. The WT (work truck) trim launches in fall 2023, while the 664-horsepower RST will follow in 2024. Read more: 5 new electric car companies coming in 2023 and beyond 2023 BMW i7 BMW revealed the all-electric 2023 i7 luxury sedan alongside the gas-powered 7 Series. It should go on sale before the end of 2022. The i7 xDrive60 will be the only variant, with its two motors providing a total of 536 horsepower and 549 pound-feet of torque, and its battery expected to offer a range of about 300 miles. Just like its internal combustion counterpart, this full-size sedan wonÂ’t come cheap, with the i7 starting at $120,295. 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Following the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 and Genesis GV60, the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 will be the fourth car using Hyundai GroupÂ’s E-GMP electric car architecture.

2015 BMW X6 stays the course with more power, RWD model

Thu, 05 Jun 2014

What would this world be without the BMW X6? Oh, sure, the whole coupe-crossover design trend surely would have started somewhere, but BMW was the first, launching its odd duck back in 2008. Much as we like to harp on the X6 (for being less functional and more expensive than the X5 on which it's based), people around the world sure do seem to like the thing, BMW having sold some 250,000 examples since the CUV's birth. And as you first saw thanks to leaked images this morning, the second-generation X6 has just arrived.
The shape is familiar, as are specific styling elements like the larger headlamps (now available with a full-LED treatment) and taillamps, mimicking those found on the X5. Two trims are available - xLine and M Sport - the former taking a more subdued approach, while the latter uses the traditionally bulgy and aggressive M-badged kit, with larger air intakes and matte aluminum grille bars. All X6s come standard with 19-inch wheels, and 20s are optional.
Regardless of trim, BMW will now offer the X6 in three guises here in the United States: sDrive35i, xDrive35i and xDrive50i. Dissecting the nomenclature, that means the first two models will be powered by BMW's 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six, good for 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque. The sDrive X6 uses rear-wheel drive, while the xDrive, of course, uses all-wheel drive. Moving up, the xDrive50i uses the same twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 as its predecessor, though power has been increased to 450 hp and 480 lb-ft. All X6 models are fitted with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and BMW says that the new powertrains are more efficient than before, though official fuel economy numbers have not yet been released.
