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!

Tailor-made BMW motorcycles presented by Petrolicious

Fri, Mar 27 2015

Italy is known as a world hub of great design, whether from finally crafted suits and shoes or screaming V8s from Ferrari. In its latest video, Petrolicious transitions to two wheels to focus on a man bringing the country's sophisticated style to some quintessentially German cycles. Calling Franco Augello a motorcycle customizer is almost a slander against his work. Instead of wild paint, heavily modified frames and serious engine upgrades, Augello's creations look more like high-end models from the original factory. His bespoke BMW R65 for a close friend is a perfect example of that craftsmanship. At first glance, the bike, which he calls the Inge 09 for his buddy's nickname, looks like a vintage BMW, albeit one in great shape. Looking closer, you can start picking out little details like the minimalist touches around the fuel filler and leather-wrapped grips. There's nothing flashy about Augello's bikes. Instead, his designs look like well-restored cycles that are more concerned with tiny improvements in some places rather than absolute authenticity. They offer all of the beauty of a Ermenegildo Zegna tailored suit with the ability to fire up the engine and take a ride.

BMW i3 will come with unusual 'OwnersChoice' non-lease option

Sun, Mar 16 2014

In case you were interested in driving a BMW i3 but were afraid of getting into a traditional lease, there's some good new for you. We think. BMW recently announced that it would offer something called "OwnersChoice" and "OwnersChoice with Flex" to make the elegant city EV an easier purchase. Or temporary purchase, anyway. Something called "OwnersChoice with Flex" is not listed on the federal government's consumer information page on vehicle financing and we couldn't get a better explanation out of BMW than the official announcement, but the gist appears to be that an i3 buyer can make a gigantic balloon payment at the end of the contract term in order to pay less in monthly costs along the way. The way Automotive News describes it, the typical balloon note chains the buyer to the car in such a way that, while you can get lower monthly payments, you're still on the hook for the amount of the financing even if you return the car. With OwnersChoice, if you give the i3 back after the contract is done (usually after three years), you're in the clear. With OwnersChoice with Flex, you need to pay up no matter if you keep the car or not, but you can take the $7,500 federal tax incentive and increase your balloon payment by - let's see here, what's the amount? ah, yes - up to $7,500, which would knock $208 (7,500 divided by 36) off your payment every month. BMW Group Financial Services (GFS) came up with this new lease/payment hybrid thing, and Fred Isele, BMW GFS vp of sales and marketing, says it lets owners get, "a comfortable payment for one of the highest technological and efficient premium electric vehicles available to date." BMW GROUP FINANCIAL SERVICES OFFERS 'OWNERSCHOICE WITH FLEX' FINANCING PRODUCT WITH PURCHASE OF NEW i3 -- PROVIDES END-OF-TERM OPTIONS SIMILAR TO LEASING, YET BENEFITS OF OWNERSHIP WOODCLIFF LAKE, NJ – February 25, 2014 – With the launch of the BMW i3, the brand's first premium electric vehicle, BMW Group Financial Services becomes one of the first in the industry to create a financial solution to ownership that provides eligible customers with the options to lower their monthly payment and return the vehicle at the end of their contract term. The financing product called 'OwnersChoice with Flex,' provides eligible BMW i3 customers the option to increase their final OwnerChoice balloon payment due at the end of their contract term by up to $7,500.

10 best new car deals of November 2021

Thu, Nov 4 2021

Sales of new cars, trucks and SUVs were drastically affected in 2020 due to the (still) ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The market started to show signs of recovery toward the end of last year before really coming on strong in the early months of 2021. Of course, then pandemic-related parts and worker shortages along with global shipping constraints started running amok and causing a great deal of pricing fluctuation and a limited supply of certain vehicles. Those problems (among other things) have led to record-high new-car transaction prices in the United States. The good news is that there are still plenty of great deals on new cars. Using data provided by TrueCar, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best automotive deals for November 2021. WeÂ’ve noted the original MSRP, the average transaction price, and the total savings in both dollars and as a percentage of the original sticker price. Basically, weÂ’ve done all the hard work for you! So now, all you need to do is compare deals, go on a few test drives, and maybe drive away in a great car (and an even better bargain).
