Amazing Service History

NO RESERVE!!

 

 

Being offered at NO RESERVE is the sports convertible you’ve been waiting for:  

1998 BMW M3 Convertible with only 74k miles, accident-free, an amazing service history and in the nicest, rarest color combination.

- Accident-free with great service history. Take a look at the free Carfax report provided at the end of this description. Carfax values this M3 at $1,990 ABOVE RETAIL value given its excellent history!!

- Please take your time. I've included OVER 100 high-definition pictures of the vehicle. It is a very large auction with the high-def pictures. Please allow enough time for all of the pictures to load.

- 3.2L inline-6 motor is legendary. This is the motor that set the standard in the late 90s. Straight 6, no forced induction, no turbocharger producing 245 horsepower. Not to mention this is one of the most reliable motors ever built. With only 74k miles, this M3 is going to last the next owner a very long time.

- E36 M3 body style is a true modern classic. The M sport bumpers, side skirts with the 10 double-spoke M rims is a truly unique look.

- Automatic transmission shifts perfectly through gears. With the optional Sport, Economy, and Manual transmission modes, the E36 M3 was truly ahead of its time; giving the driver complete freedom and control of the drive. Leave it in economy mode for better MPG, place it in sport mode for faster shifting and that extra M power, or go into manual mode and sequentially shift the gears yourself.

- Drop-top M3 convertible in Estoril Blue with white leather, HK audio, heated seats. The M3 is just a blast to drive and a real head turner. This is the ultimate sports car driver's dream.

- Estoril Blue on White Leather with Gray dash/trim is the nicest color combination, hands-down.

- Mechanically, the M3 is excellent; everything works great and the BMW really rides beautifully.

- Brakes, exhaust and suspension are all excellent.

- No engine warning lights or malfunctions of any kind.

- Heat blows hot and A/C is ice-cold!

- Cruise-control operates perfectly.

- Premium/Sport and Winter package with HEATED seats, dual power seats, heated power mirrors, M rims, keyless-entry.

- All power options function 100%.

- HK audio sounds great. There’s no better feeling driving this M3 down the highway with the top down, music blasting and engine revving.

- M wheels look great and really complete the look of the BMW. Wrapped in FOUR MATCHING TOYO tires.

- Estoril Blue Metallic exterior looks great and shines beautifully. There are 1-2 door dings, a dent on the front grille and a few light scratches on the trunk lid as you can see in the pictures. These are hardly noticeable and definitely do not detract from the overall beautiful appearance of the M3. We mention these to be as thorough as possible and provide as much information to all potential bidders.

- White LEATHER interior with gray trim is in excellent condition. Most of these E36 M3s have significant cracking in the leather, BUT NOT THIS ONE.  No tears or rips in the seats or carpets. The leather is absolutely gorgeous. The driver seat shows almost no wear; no side-bolster wear, no significant wrinkles. Dash/trim shine beautifully. Carpets look great with no stains or tears.

- Rear Seat looks barely used.

- POWER DROP-TOP convertible with the push of a button works 100%. No hesitations or stalling. 3 pin-size holes in the back left of the top as you can see in the pictures, nothing major.

- If you're looking at this auction, you know how hard these M3s are to find in this kind of well-kept condition. 

- All original owners' manuals, full spare tire in the trunk!! Alarm system with key-less remote, valet key and extra master key. This is one of the nicest, well-kept, all-original E36 M3s out there and THE ONLY ONE BEING SOLD AT NO RESERVE!!!

- This is really a rare find: 1998 BMW M3 Convertible in gorgeous Estoril Blue with only 74k miles, well-maintained, accident-free and being sold at NO RESERVE!!

- Buying a high-line vehicle is all about service, condition and history. THIS ONE HAS IT ALL!!!

- The BMW is completely turnkey.

Watch man destroy his M6 'lemon' with a sledgehammer and ax

Tue, 17 Sep 2013

Just to be clear, the owner of this BMW M6 isn't ready for another one. He and his friend destroyed the V10-powered coupe in anger at the entrance to the Frankfurt Motor Show in a decidedly public fashion. Bild and GT Spirit report that the owner was angry over mysterious quality and reliability issues that he claims BMW wasn't able to fix. What we have here, folks, is claimed to be a very expensive lemon.
As the story goes, owner Pourmohseni Hadi bought the 2007 M6 in 2008, and five years later, he is still complaining about mysterious vibrations, rattles and severe jolts during gear changes - the latter he says have caused passengers to become nauseous. The car was taken to several BMW repair shops in Italy and Hadi says he he has written a letter to the automaker about his issues, but the car was never fixed and the letter unanswered, he claims. What we don't know is how many miles the car has been driven and when all these problems started happening. The situation reminds us of a certain Lamborghini Gallardo from a couple years back.
While we understand Hadi's frustration, perhaps an M6 just doesn't suit his tastes. After all, we'd be lying if we said a perfectly functioning M6 of this generation wasn't bumpy over uneven surfaces and wouldn't make some passengers nauseous, with its stiffly sprung suspension and dizzying 500-horsepower V10. Anyone wanna bet his M6 was equipped with one of BMW's notoriously abrupt SMG single-clutch gearboxes?

BMW will show Mini EV concept at Frankfurt

Wed, Aug 30 2017

A month ago, BMW announced that it would electrify all its brands and model lines, including the Mini hatchback. A forthcoming full-electric Mini will enter production in 2019 at the Mini plant in Oxford, England, where the production line would join a German-built electric drivetrain with a British-built body. BMW notes that this will happen exactly 60 years after the original Mini hit the streets. View 5 Photos As the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show is upon us, BMW has introduced the concept version of the aforementioned electric Mini. The manufacturer says the color scheme chosen for the concept matches the previous electrified Mini, the experimental Mini E of 2008. That car was produced in a trial run of 600 units, and it provided BMW with valuable data as it was developing the i3 model, currently on the market. The Mini Electric Concept is powered by a lithium-ion battery, but no numerical specifications or range figures have been announced. It will be interesting to see whether the driving fun inherent to Minis can be translated, as a battery electric vehicle will undoubtedly be heavier than a fossil-fuel hatchback. The closed front grille stands as testament for doing without pistons or a need for engine cooling.

BMW says SUVs killed the sports car market

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

In many ways, we're living in a golden age of automotive performance. After all, it's possible to show up at a Dodge dealer, hand over about $60,000 and storm away with a 707-horsepower Challenger Hellcat. Or for those who prefer a touch more luxury, the BMW M4, Mercedes-AMG C63 and latest Cadillac ATS-V offer between 425 and 503 horsepower, depending on your pick, with a bit more poshness. However, none of these powerful vehicles fit the classic definition of a two-place, droptop sports car, and according BMW head of sales Ian Robertson, that's because the segment is very much in the doldrums.
According to Robertson, two factors seriously wounded the classic sports car market. First, the global economic crisis of a few years ago put a serious hurt on sales, according to Bloomberg. Further worsening the situation, the boom in popularity of luxury SUVs and crossovers in the past few years hasn't allowed for much recovery. Even car-hungry China hasn't helped much because of the smog in many cities and preference among some of the very rich there to be chauffeured.
Combined, Audi TT, BMW Z4 and Mercedes-Benz SLK sales peaked around 114,000 units a year in 2007, but they are only expected to reach 72,000 annually by the end of the decade. Robertson is pretty pessimistic about the market's comeback too. "Post-2008, it just collapsed. I'm not so sure it'll ever fully recover," he said to Bloomberg.
