1995 Bmw M3 Clone 3.2l Obd1 M50 Manifold Cam on 2040-cars
Indiana, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Car is located in Indiana PA. For sale is a 1995 bmw 325i that has been completely swapped over to M3 specs or above. It has a 99 3.2l bottom end with 123,000 miles on it with obd1and M50 manifold on top. It has afe 3.5 intake attached to 3.5" HFM and the samco 3.5 to 3" boot. It has a cometic MLS head gasket, ARP head studs, schrick 256 264 cams, 255 lph fuel pump with 24lb blue top injectors, bav auto obd1 coil packs, Epic valve springs, 413 red label dme, aluminum radiator, E34 M5 clutch upgrade with grip force flywheel. The car has no issues mechanically and is driven almost daily. The suspension has all been swapped over to M3 parts along with the brakes. It has M3 side skirts, front bumper, side mirrors, badges, door sills, floor mats (brand new), instrument cluster. Rear bumper is 325i. The car was dynod at over 230 rwhp before the intake system and uuc underdrive pulleys were installed. The brakes are great, the suspension has no issues and performs even better than my low mileage 1997 M3 I used to own. It has new struts, shocks, motor and transmission mounts, front control arms, new M front spindles and hubs/bearings, M3 sway bars, mounts, and ends installed within the last 10K miles. Rear sub frame and trailing arms were swapped from another car and have rebuilt r tabs, bushings, and mounts. The car also has front strut mount and rear subframe mount reinforcement plates welded on. It has M rear axles. It has a Euro M3 instrument cluster and comes with a us spec M3 stock one also. The front seats are 325i sport seats, not M3 seats. Rear are M3 seats. It has a 5 speed Zf transmission (stronger). The paint is good and catches eyes from 10 feet away but has probably 8 dings when you get real close and some scratches that show up close. The car is rust free as it lived most of its life in Virginia. Interior carpet is not great but looks ok. With a little tlc this car could be about perfect and it pulls like a train to redline. The vin will confirm that it is not an M3 but a 325i but all that means is cheaper insurance. A stock m3 is anemic by comparison. I owned a 97 M3 and this car is a different animal. It idles at around 900 rpms which I hardly notice and has good road manners putting around town. At 4K rpms the car takes off. Its a jekyll and hyde above and below 4K rpms. The car also has a UUC cup holder that holds large beverages securely, UUC underdrive pulleys, and comes with a UUC short shift kit with dssr that are brand new, in the box, included with car. The AC works as it should and it has Nitto invo sport tires with lots of life left. The passenger side rear door lock is lazy sometimes. The passenger front seat electric recline button does not function properly, it moves up and back but doesn't recline. I pictured a repair on the driver side door where the rubber weather stripping is that was done poorly. The interior driver door is missing the weather stripping, it doesn't affect operation but should be replaced as it limits road noise. The center clip holding on the driver side skirt needs replaced. It can be done with a screwdriver and your hand but I don't have a clip. I tried to picture the overall condition of the paint. It has some scratches and wear and up close you can see its not new paint. The hood and front bumper were repainted and look good and match. The car will tell you coolant is low because it has a metal coolant reservoir the car does not recognize and sometimes the computer tells your the low beams had a failure but they always work. If the car sits idling in traffic for an extended period on a hot day the check engine light will come on. Hasn't come on for a while because 90 degree temperatures have left but it will. I have been told this is because of the overlap in the cam running hotter and it will kill the o2 sensor quicker. As soon as you turn the car off it clears the check engine light. I've driven the car daily and have had no mechanical issues. This car would run anywhere, anytime with stock reliability. The E36 straight 6 engines are known for there reliability and durability. 724 541-2655 |

2014 BMW M235i is your Diet M4
Mon, Jan 13 2014Alongside its big brothers, the M3 and M4, the new M235i was rolled out by BMW at the Detroit Auto Show today as the sportiest member of the 2 Series range. The sharp two-door is the replacement for the current 1 Series, meaning the M235i is more or less the equivalent of the old 135is. Underhood sits BMW's venerable 3.0-liter, turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine, complete with 322 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. Power is, naturally, sent to the rear wheels via either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic, allowing the M235i to hit 62 miles per hour in 4.8 seconds when optioned with the automatic. Prices start at $43,100, meaning the M235i should give the $47,450 Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG a real challenge in terms of cluck for the buck, provided a second set of doors isn't needed. We've got a full gallery of live images from the floor of the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, along with the stock gallery and BMW's press release from our original post on the 2 Series. Scroll up for the former and down for the latter. The All-New BMW 2 Series Coupe A new dimension for The Ultimate Driving Machine Woodcliff Lake, N.J. – October 24, 2013 – 6:00pm EDT/3:00pm PDT. . . BMW today announced the introduction of an entirely new model series with the introduction of the all-new BMW 2 Series Coupe. This new take on The Ultimate Driving MachineTM will arrive in the US in the first quarter of 2014 as the 228i and the M235i. The BMW M235i, the first M Performance Automobile offered in the US, includes an impressive list of performance enhancing features. This successor to the successful 1 Series Coupe will continue the decades-long tradition of premium sub-compact coupes with impeccable driving dynamics when it makes its world debut at the North American International Auto Show in January 2014. The 2014 BMW 2 Series Coupe will be offered at a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price of $33,025 for the 228i and $44,025 for the M235i, including $925 destination and handling.
BMW CS reinterpretation proves retro can be sexy [w/video]
Fri, 28 Mar 2014Designer David Obendorfer doesn't work for BMW, but perhaps the German automaker should give him a call. His CS Vintage Concept shows a singular ability to understand the brand's classic style and reinterpret it for today. He isn't some amateur, either. Obendorfer has an industrial design degree and has been penning the interiors and exteriors of yachts from the Officina Italiana Design for five years, which counts luxury shipbuilders like Riva and Sanlorenzo among its clients. His website shows a real passion and knack for modernizing '60s and '70s European cars, too.
Obendorfer prefers to reimagine classic automotive styles. "Retro cars are not copies of their predecessors or renovated specimens, rather they are carefully studied reconsiderations, strongly rooted in contemporary style," he tells Autoblog. For the CS Vintage Concept, he worked to update the looks of the seminal BMW 2000CS and its E9 chassis while placing them on a modern platform. Obendorfer's inspiration comes from his belief that the later CS models' design is partially responsible for defining BMW styling, with its shark-nose front and four round headlights.
The CS Vintage Concept's shape starts with a jutting hood and a quartet of LED headlights, but the whole design really comes together in profile. The Hofmeister Kink at the rear pillar with the BMW Roundel is a nice nod to the originals, yet the proportions still find the perfect fusion of classic and modern. The interior is minimalist, with a vast expanse of wood for the dashboard at first glance, but the latter opens to expose the car's infotainment system.
BMW i creates high-design solar charging carport
Fri, 09 May 2014With the first deliveries of the i3 under way, and the recent i8 press launch, the marketing push in the US for the BMW electric sub-brand has begun. These i vehicles are supposed to have a completely different feel from the rest of the brand's lineup. To complement their earth-friendly ethos, the Bavarian company commissioned BMW Group DesignworksUSA in California to create a solar carport concept that could keep the models sustainably topped up on power. It premiered alongside the i8 in Los Angeles at the electric sports coupe's media launch.
At first glance, the BMW i Solar Carport Concept looks like a pergola from a winery or a well-groomed garden, but like the i vehicles, the deeper you look, the more high-tech features there are. The sides feature carbon elements in a similar way that the i3 and i8 have a carbon fiber-reinforced plastic body. Bamboo forms the uprights because its quick-growing nature makes it rather sustainable, and the solar panels are strung along the top to harness energy.
Obviously the sun can't provide all of the energy that the electric cars need, and a BMW Wallbox Pro charger is also connected to the power grid as a supplement. It includes a readout telling users the amount of solar energy versus municipal electricity it's using.
