Intro:

For your consideration is this excellent condition 1995 BMW M3.  It currently has only 48,000 original miles.  The cosmetic and mechanical condition matches what would be expected of an example with such low miles.  The factory finish is the very appealing Avus blue metallic (code 276) with the difficult to find cloth and Amaretta suede interior.  This M3 of course has a 5 speed manual transmission.  This is a three owner M3, currently owned by a BMW M3 enthusiast (also recently owned a nice E30 M3), and this M3 has always been adult owned.  This is a get in and drive very presentable vehicle that is ready for the next owner.  Please view the video, images, and description to get a clear idea on this M3's great condition.

Exterior Condition:

There is absolutely no evidence suggesting that any part of this M3 has been repainted.  The Avus blue metallic all looks to be the factory applied original and is in impressive condition.  The color has a pearlescent type effect to it where it changes tone pending the amount and angle of light.  This vehicle has of course traveled 48,000 miles so some typical very minor “wear” to the finish should be expected (ex: very minor nicks from stones that are not very numerous and more so limited to the front).  There is nothing significant flaw wise to note on the finish otherwise.  The color, texture, reflection, and condition matches throughout the car.  The finish is very glossy and has great depth to it.  It was recently detailed and waxed so does not need any attention.  I would rate the condition and presentation of the finish a very solid 9.3/10.  Very impressive and presentable condition.      

 

The body of this M3 is of course in excellent condition as well.  It is very straight and completely solid.  It has been stored winters and driven mainly in nice weather.  Just like the finish, wear and flaws are extremely limited and probably less numerous that might be expected for even a 48,000 mile vehicle.  There are two extremely minor dings in the passenger door that are very shallow, difficult to notice, and could easily be removed with paintless dent repair if one was so inclined.  Some how and some way, there is a very small and minor bubble of oxidation on the driver side behind the rear wheel well just above the bumper.  Please view the picture as it is very minor.  It is very odd as such bubbles are not exhibited elsewhere on the vehicle so it may have possibly started due to a chip or something.  The passenger front bumper extremity, in the black plastic trim, has some minor scuffing to it.  Other than those items, there is not really anything that stands out (not that those even stand out) or worth noting.  All of the body panels look great and are very straight.  Impressive condition.  The gaps line up nicely.  Door and trunk jambs are great.  Doors, trunk, and hood all open and close nicely.  Underbody is very clean, solid, and straight.  Glass and lenses are in very nice condition.  Black trim and moldings are very presentable.  The stock rims are in very nice condition with very limited to no curb rash (A set of nice condition genuine FIKSE rims with certificate of ownership that the new owner can purchase separately).  The body of this M3 is in excellent well-taken-care-of condition and could easily be rated a 9.3/10. 

 

Interior:

The interior of this M3 is in presentable condition and in the condition to be expected for a 40,000 mile vehicle.  There are not really areas of excessive wear but of course some areas of typical wear.  For example, the seats show just normal use.  There are not significant flaws like splitting, wear through, or etc.  They are in very nice condition and have plenty of years of life left.  Seat foam is nice and firm.  Seats are manually adjusted which saves some weight over the electric ones.  Other parts that receive constant touching (steering wheel, shift knob, door panel, etc.) are presentable and again show the expected use, not excessive use, of a 48k mile vehicle.  Carpet overall is very nice throughout with only a few minor and small bleach spots on the driver rear carpet/floor mat.  The rest of the interior (dash, headliner, door panels, console, etc.) again are very presentable. 

 

Mechanical:

This M3 has been extremely well taken care of and always in excellent mechanical condition.  There are no areas mechanically that should require attention.  This M3 is good to go and ready to be enjoyed.  The engine starts up right away and idles smooth.  The engine runs strong and sound excellent.  No odd noises, vibrations, etc.  Runs at the proper temperature.  Excellent engine and not in need of attention.  Transmission is also great.  Absolutely no clutch slippage or gear shifting issues.  The rest of the drivetrain also is excellent.  The exhaust is in great condition and an upgraded cat-back system has been installed.  Brakes are great and not in need of attention.  Suspensions is also great and not in need of attention.  A front strut brace bar has been added.  Car drives very solid and confidently.  It is everything that would be expected for the mileage.  The air conditioning actually blows cold.  Speedo, tach, other gauges, radio, windows, sunroof, etc… of course work.  Spare and tool kit of course is present.  Tires should last a couple more seasons.  Only regular maintenance (oil change, other fluid changes) should be necessary.  This is a get in and go vehicle ready to be enjoyed.  It is top notch mechanically just as it is cosmetically.

 

Conclusion:

These E36 M3’s are well regarded by automotive enthusiasts.  In the context of affordable-to-premium sports cars and sports coupes from the mid-1990’s, E36 M3’s offer impressive handling, braking, and engine performance.  They have rock solid German engineering, are very usable and comfortable vehicles, and quite dependable.  Those seriously on the hunt for a nice, clean, original, un-modified, low mileage E36 M3 know how difficult it is to find a great example.  This one has all of the above traits and a few of the E36 enthusiast desired features such as the very appealing Avus blue metallic finish and uncommon light gray cloth/suede interior.  Condition wise, there is not much of anything that someone should be able to find fault in this example.  It looks and drives as good as should be expected of a 48,000 mile well cared for vehicle, if not better.  This is a top notch example of an E36 and should meet the needs of the next BMW enthusiast.  Serious buyers, please call with any questions, and or to arrange a viewing, between 8:00am and 8:00pm central.  Thank you!

She's just a girl... who's an E28 fanatic

Tue, 02 Apr 2013

Ashley Rodriguez has a thing for the BMW E28. The amateur train photographer has owned over 15 of the cars in her brief lifetime, and says she's attracted to the old 5 Series because of how rare they are. All told, she's owned every variation of the E28 with the exception of the 2.4td, and the crew from Petrolicious recently stopped by to train their lenses on her most recent acquisition: a lovely M535i. The site's latest video, Rare Things, takes a closer look at just what draws Rodriguez to the E28 and how her passion for the cars has evolved over the years.
As usual, Petrolicious serves up plenty of gorgeous footage of the vintage German sedan, and anyone who's ever harbored an obsession over any one particular model can certainly hear a few chords ring true in Rodriguez's words. Check out the clip below to see what we mean.

BMW 1 Series with B38 three-cylinder engine

Downsizing For BMW's Front-Wheel-Drive And i Futures
Output is quoted at 175 horsepower and BMW says it will hit 62 mph in 7.0 seconds.
The red five-door BMW 1 Series seen in this photo gallery has little to do with what is actually of importance here. What we've just tested at an airfield not far from Munich, Germany, is a new 1.5-liter TwinPower Turbo inline three-cylinder gas engine that we'll be hearing an awful lot about in the coming few years.
