1996 - Bmw M3 on 2040-cars
Malone, Washington, United States
Hello there, I have a 1996 E36 M3 for sale that is in fantastic condition! The car has only had a few owners, one of which was a former Stanford student and her father who is an auto enthusiast. I'm putting her up for sale because I plan on moving soon and won't have the garage space for the car and I don't want to leave it on the street or exposed to the weather. I have not been using this as my daily driver. It's been my weekend nice-weather fun car and when not in use, it sits in a fully covered garage (4 walls and a roof). It's mostly stock except for the 1900 ground control suspension system and a lightweight M5 clutch and flywheel that was installed by the previous owner. I guess he intended for the car to be his track car but never got around to actually doing it. When I bought it, he had a SPAL high performance electric fan kit that IS NOT installed that he gave me. I still haven't installed it (and never intended to) so I can include it with the purchase of the car. After I bought it and had it inspected, I put 1500 into it to fix the following at Strictly BMW in Bellevue: Replaced drive belts and pulleys Replaced valve cover gasket and 6 spark plug boots Replaced pedal travel sensor for ABS (to fix ABS warning light being displayed on dash). The previous owner has replaced/repaired: At 104,758 miles, replaced clutch/flywheel with M5 one, Install short shifter kit, changed transmission/engine/differential lubrication, replaced air boot. On 11/02/2010, the timing chain, guides, and tensioners were all replaced. Also, the VANOS unit was rebuilt. New tires as of 92,000 miles. New front brake pads and rotors at 95,000 miles. Coolant expansion tank replaced at 100,231. and the service records that show all this are included too. Like I mentioned earlier, this car has not been destroyed by a dumb 17 year old living out fast and the furious fantasies. Because the E36's have pretty much bottomed out in price, it's really hard to find one that isn't all messed up with stupid sound systems and ugly rims. It's been owned by adults with the exception of the Stanford student who just used it as her daily commuter. It's condition reflects the extra care it's been given.

Next BMW X6 to be larger, more aggressive
Tue, 16 Apr 2013If the current BMW X6, introduced in 2008, is looking a bit too bland for your tastes, have no fear as the next-generation model is reportedly going to be larger and more aggressive than its predecessor.
Autocar is reporting that an insider has revealed the all-new second-generation X6 will make its world debut at the 2014 Moscow Motor Show, going on sale just after summer. More aggressive styling will help BMW distinguish its sportier X6 from BMW's more practical models, such as the X3 and X5, said the source.
The next X6 will again share platforms with the X5, but it will be stretched slightly to provide second-row passengers with more legroom. Powerplants will also likely mirror those of its mainstream cousin, including a range of turbocharged six- and eight-cylinder engines and a range-topping M model (the 2013 BMW X6 M is show above).
2015 BMW i8 offers you a fast ride to the future for $135,700* [w/video]
Tue, 10 Sep 2013BMW's long-form teasing and rollout of its incredibly cool i8 has put us in a unique position to report from its world debut here in Frankfurt. Typically, an auto show debut marks just the start of the information dump about a new vehicle. The i8, however, is a car that we've already driven and reviewed, so perhaps the biggest news from the show floor is the official price of the thing, as well as getting to see it live and in person, of course.
Arriving in US showrooms in the spring of 2014, the i8 performance plug-in hybrid will carry a price tag of $135,700 (*not including $925 for destination and handling charges). That kind of cash puts the i8 near the very top of the BMW range (slotting just under the top-trim 7-Series models), and will buy a massive amount of new technology.
The four-seat i8 has the look of a true supercar, and its new-tech drivetrain will offer up the performance of a stirring sports car, at least. A TwinPower Turbo, three-cylinder, 1.5-liter engine will make 231 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque that's gets sent to the rear wheels, while a 96-kilowatt electric motor doles out 131 hp and 184 lb-ft of maximum torque to the fronts. Total system output of 362 hp and 420 lb-ft allows the i8 to sprint to 62 miles per hour in 4.4 seconds with all-wheels-driven handling, and it still returns an astonishing 94 miles per gallon US.
Two new RWD Toyota sports cars to join FR-S?
Fri, 09 Aug 2013Toyota as we know it could become a thing of the past. According to Australian site Car Advice, the Japanese brand known for bland cruisers like the Camry and Corolla is preparing to bring two new rear-drive cars to market that would slot above and below the Scion-badged FR-S. This is very, very good news.
Car Advice spoke to the GT86/FR-S' chief engineer, Tatsuya Tada, who claimed, "Akio Toyoda always says to me, Toyota sports car [family] should be three sports car brothers. 86 is in the middle." The oldest "brother" would be the spiritual successor to the Supra, even if it doesn't wear that name. Tada is in charge of that project, while a sub-GT86 project is being headed-up elsewhere.
Tada refused to comment on names (CA specifically mentions MR2 and Celica) for the new small car, but did say that, "Yes it is rear-wheel drive and that's Toyota's strong position - Toyota sports car must be rear-wheel drive." Perhaps the juiciest bit of information obtained from Tada's interview with Car Advice was his hinting that both new sports cars would be joint ventures, like the GT86/FR-S/Subaru BRZ triplets. Tada wouldn't say who Toyota was in bed with on the smaller model, but did mention that the Supra would be a product of the world's largest automaker's partnership with BMW.
