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.

BMW i5, i7 rumors surface again
Tue, Feb 17 2015When we first wrote about a rumored BMW i5 in January 2014, after speaking to the Munich-based head of electric vehicle operations and strategy, BMW USA wrote to tell us that the "suggestion of a BMW i model larger than the i3 is hypothetical at this point." After that note came a year of speculation from places like Car and Driver, Automobile and Autocar zeroing in on what this "hypothetical" EV would look like. Car has this year's first scoop, laying out a few more of the ideas behind the expansion of the i line. Said to be aimed straight at the Tesla Model S, it is based on the long-wheelbase, Chinese-market 5 Series but will be badged as either an i5 or an i7. Expected to arrive in time for the 2018 model year to join the next-generation 5 Series, it will be priced to compete with the Model S, but loading up on options can push that beyond $125,000, according to Car. Outside will be a sedan body, possibly with cues from the 6 Series Gran Coupe and the next 7 Series. The internals will be a mix of components like steering, brakes, and suspension from the next ICE 5 Series, with a plug-in hybrid, battery-extending powertrain derived from the i8. Car's info suggests a four-cylinder motor with around 245 horsepower up front, with a 204-hp e-motor also up front and a 90-hp e-motor in the back, as opposed to the i8's single motor. That arrangement provides about 544 total horsepower and will allow the sedan to run in purely electric front- or rear-wheel drive, or as a petrol-electric all-wheel drive. Electric range should be around 80 miles, and the ICE will be limited to operation above 40 miles per hour. There's reason to start putting weight behind these specs because they repeat, almost exactly, those written in the Automobile piece from December. That story said BMW wants to build 30,000 of them per year, and a concept could come in 2017.

BMW: Newfangled Idea
Mon, Feb 2 2015Former Today Show hosts Katie Couric and Bryant Gumbel joined the all-new BMW i3 for its 2015 Super Bowl spot. The 60-second spot harkens back to the pair's bewilderment over the Internet way back in 1994, before cutting to the revolutionary electric Bimmer, which elicits a similarly perplexed reaction. It's a clever spot for BMW, tying its perhaps misunderstood EV to another formerly unfamiliar piece of tech. We're no strangers to the i3, but if you are, check out our detailed review on the electric hatch.
Weekly Recap: The divergent paths of Tesla and Fisker
Sat, 02 Aug 2014
There's no doubt that Tesla is downshifting while Fisker has been grinding its gears. But it wasn't always that way.
In the wake of Tesla's recent success, it's easy to forget that there were once two California electric carmakers with bright futures.
