It is a California car that has not been on the road since 1994. I have since been to the DMV and have paid all the back fees and penalties, giving this car a CLEAN TITLE AND CURRENT REGISTRATION. The goal of this build was to make the "Modern man's Tii". To fulfill this goal a M42 engine and 5 speed manual transmission was purchased. The car started out as a almost complete car minus some interior parts. Every part of the car was strip off and boxed away leaving only a rolling shell. From here the car was examined for rust which it had very little of and was all patched using BMW patch pieces for the parts that needed help. Additionally all the belt trim holes, molding holes, reflector holes and bumper holes were welded shut. Finally a custom TIG welded roll bar was installed in the car for increased body stiffness and safety for that possible track day. Before being sent to the paint shop all body panels were removed from the car ( doors, hood, trunk lid, and sunroof). Also the engine bay and trunk were both sandblasted to ensure a quality job would be performed in the difficult areas. While the car was at the paint shop the Suspension was being modified to match the spirit of the car. The front suspension was completely disassembled. The sub frame was reinforced at the common cracking spot located at the engine mount. All suspension pieces were sandblasted then hand painted with POR 15 to ensure ultimate durability and a nice clean finish ( a hammer has no chance of removing this paint). The sub-frame was re-installed with factory rubber bushings, none of that polyurethane crap that's too stiff and squeaky. Also during the removal process all bolts from the entire car were sent to the platers to be cleaned and zinc plated for corrosion resistance and sex appeal. The sub frame was re-assembled using these bolts. The Front struts on the car were removed and front coilovers were installed in their place. The coilovers feature a shortened strut, adjustable collar for ride height adjustment, Eibach 300lb springs, Bilstien heavy duty shocks and an extra degree of camber built into them. The strut bearings are also attached to a fixed camber plate adding an additional half degree of camber. The stock hubs were removed and factory E21 Hubs were installed in their place. This installation allowed for the front big brake conversion to be installed and features 10 in vented rotors and four piston Volvo brakes . Everything was assembled on shop floor and awaited its fresh new body. The rear suspension has a similar story to the front in that all the components were removed, sandblasted and painted with POR 15. Once removed the rear subframe was modified to allow for the adjustable camber and toe package to be installed. This will allow the owner to take out some of the excess camber that results from lowering the rear of the car. The rear of the car still lacks decent shocks and springs. Also the rear differential is a stock 2002 open. The brakes in the rear were also upgrade using the E21 10 inch backing plates and drums. Finally everything was re-installed using the newly cleaned and plated bolts. The Tii engine from this car was removed and a 1993 M42 motor out of a 318i was purchased. This motor produces more HP than the tii ( about 140 total) with the addition of electronic fuel injection instead of mechanical. The Motor, 5 speed manual transmission, radiator, header pipe, computer and wiring harness have all been acquired and are included with the car. The motor showed good leak down numbers, all under 5%,(very tight), although it has not been started yet. All Tii brackets from the engine bay have been removed to allow for this engine. The current condition of the car is as you see it in the photos. The car is a rolling shell with beautiful and smartly designed race suspension. The car was set up to be the ultimate street car, show car, and fun Sunday track car when the occasion arose. It is unfortunate that I will not be able to complete this car as many long hours and money have been invested. I would love to complete the car but time and money have brought this build to a halt. This would be a perfect build for someone with marginal skills. The hard parts are done, and have been done well as can be seen. If you have any questions about the car please feel free to ask. Thanks Keve 805 990 2279 Other painted parts Gas tank (sandblasted, painted with POR 15) Pedal Box (sandblasted, rebuilt, painted) Steering Box ( cleaned, painted) White Cad plated Parts Headlight buckets , hood latch, wiper motor, hood hardware , door grease latch, door catch, trunk hinges, trunk latch additional parts Painted front plastic air dam Painted rear fiberglass bummber Many stock parts found in the photos The paint has one spot on the car that got eaten by the buffing wheel during color sanding and finishing. About 100 dollars in damage. I recommend the buyer fixes this when the car is finished as it will be very likely that the car will receive another scratch or two during the build process. For photos of this spot please email me. Shipping I am willing to ship the car anywhere a buyer might like, although I would require that the buyer make all the arrangements. I also recommend that the buyer if interested stop by and look at the car before purchasing if all possible.

Renderings may show upcoming BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe
Thu, 26 Dec 2013We've already shown you spy images of the latest member of the BMW Gran Coupe family, the 4 Series Gran Coupe. Following the trend of the larger 6 Series Gran Coupe, the 4 Series variant grafts a spare set of doors onto its two-door body.
Now, the f30post forum has come up with what it says are patent drawings of the new 4GC (originally from Chinese site Autohome.com), giving a glimpse of what the coupe-sedan-thingy looks like without its camo in the way. What we're seeing is seemingly a mix of the 3 Series GT (noticeable around the rear window) with the larger Gran Coupe styling, while retaining the current 4 Series front end.
We can't say it looks great, but as these are merely renderings, it's far too early for us to come to a final conclusion on the overall look of the 4 Series Gran Coupe. Have a look up top at the patent images. We've also included our spy photos of the new Gran Coupe below. Let us know what you think of the latest niche product from BMW down in Comments.
European car sales up 8% in February
Sat, 22 Mar 2014Three weeks ago an analyst increased projections for European car sales this year, expecting them to climb three percent compared to last year instead of 2.7 percent. That number is a postive sign after years of hard times but it turns out February was especially good, overall European sales climbing eight percent on a wave of southern European recovery and discounts - and this comes after five months of gains including January's 7.2-percent jump over the year before.
The only country of Europe's five largest markets to post a decline was France, just as it did in January, Germany, the UK and Italy posting solid double-digit numbers, Spain rocking the charts with an 18-percent increase because of a government program to encourage trade-ins.
The only brand to miss the wave was Volkswagen, dropping 0.8 percent as it watched the double-digit growth at sister brands Audi, Seat and Skoda lift the Volkswagen Group sales up by seven-percent. Peugeot overcame flat sales at Citroën to improve the group by 3.5 percent, BMW and the Mercedes-Benz/Smart combo rose by four percent, the Fiat group jumped 5.8 percent, Ford was up 11 percent, the Renault Group 11.5 percent, General Motors 12 percent and the Toyota clan by 14 percent.
2015 BMW S 1000 RR looks to retain sportbike supremacy
Tue, 30 Sep 2014The BMW S 1000 RR is already a pretty potent member of the superbike ranks, but BMW is revealing a host of upgrades for this two-wheeled lightning bolt at the Intermot 2014 motorcycle show that should make it even faster.
The biggest additions to the latest 1000 RR are its new cylinder head, lighter valves and different intake cam to tweak even more power from the bike's 1.0-liter, four-cylinder engine, and BMW now rates it at a claimed 196 horsepower (or 199 horses if you go with the European measurement, converted from 146 kilowatts), a boost over the first-gen's 193 ponies, and 83 pound-feet of torque through a six-speed gearbox. Those adjustments would probably be enough to make the cycle a tick faster alone, but the Bavarian engineers also cut 8.82 pounds (4 kg) to bring the motorcycle's weight with a full tank of fuel to a feather-light 450 pounds. Much of that diet comes from the redesigned exhaust that cuts about 6.6 pounds off the scales.
Cradling that tweaked engine is a redesigned, lighter frame with fully adjustable springs. The bike also comes standard with Race ABS, stability control, seven-step variable traction control and three riding modes. In terms of styling, all of these changes are communicated through an updated fairing with repositioned, though still asymmetric, headlights.
