E30 M3 Race Car - New Build - VIN - WBSAK0304J2195402
History - Car was purchased out of Arizonia about 2 years ago with a cage installed. All running gear was out of the car. The body was sent to the body shop for fresh exterior and interior painting while the motor, trans, and diff rebuilt/replaced. All bushing were removed and replaced with new. Rear sub frame was removed and weld in inserts for camber/castor adjustments were installed. After painting the engine, trans, and diff were reinstalled. A custom chip was mapped with 93 octane fuel. Existing barn door AFM was utilized as was thinking of going into BMW M3T class. The car has been taken out for (2) shake down days and ran very well. Had solid engine and tranny mounts and switched back to the hard bushings (less vibration thru the chassis). The car hooks up in turns better than any car that I have driven. The differential is awesome and comes with finned Z3 cover. The car has safety switch cutoff and push buttons start. Lots of gauges for feedback on the track - oil temp, water temp, oil pressure, and Air/Fuel Meter. The items remaining for final race readiness are the installing the replacing the window net and center net and roll bar padding. The car has tons of high performance parts and would be a front runner. Please let me know if there are any questions.

- All brakes completely rebuilt, ABS still installed.
- Car has been corner balanced and aligned.
- Weight is around 2400 w/o driver.
Build recently completed after (2) years of assembling parts and getting work professionally performed. Engine rebuilt by The Power Plant Racing. As it has not been raced during my ownership and after build, the car will need a log book, center, window nets installed, and roll bar padding. Front and rear lexan windows are not perfect and have some scratches. Side lexan windows are brand new. Front has some slight cracking of the lexan around the curve.
Comes with (1) sets of 15"x8" kosei wheels and (1) 16" revolution wheels with full tread tires for rain. This car is very fast and handles great. I would estimate that this car that with new rubber would run sub 2:14s at VIR full coure.
Please let me know if there are any questions. Thanks for looking!

Corvette gets slidey with Britain's best performance cars
Sat, 18 Oct 2014Autocar wants to find Britain's best driver's car, and it's challenging a murderers' row of some of the world's best performance vehicles to find out, including the latest Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. All of them were therefore assembled at the Castle Combe Circuit to find a winner.
If it wants to take the crown from this pack of mostly European competitors, the 'Vette has to beat some steep competition. Its challengers include monsters like the Ferrari 458 Speciale, Ariel Atom 3.5R and Jaguar F-Type Coupe. As a further hurdle for the winner to clear, Autocar also has last year's champ among the fighters - the Porsche 911 GT3.
Even if you're not at all interested in the C7, there's still something here for practically any fan of fast cars. The competitors include relative oddities among the pack like the Renault Mégane RS Trophy and Alfa Romeo 4C. Plus, Autocar has some well-positioned microphones that let you hear the Atom wailing like a banshee and the roar of the 458 Speciale. Check out the video to see which one of these all-stars takes home the award this year.
BMW recalls over 76k 2012-2014 models over brake failure
Sat, 28 Sep 2013Bimmerfest is reporting that BMW has notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of its intention to voluntarily recall more than 75,000 3 Series, 5 Series, X1, X3 and Z4 models due to a possible loss of power brake assist that could result in the vehicles failing to stop. The recall affects 2012-2014 models equipped with either the N20 or N26 engine produced from May 2012 to August 2013. Until recall repairs have been performed, BMW dealers will discontinue selling or delivering any affected vehicles in their inventories.
The problem has been traced to restricted oil supply from the intake camshaft to the brake vacuum pump, which may cause the brake vacuum pump to fail, resulting in a loss of power brake assist. While the hydraulic brakes will still function, the driver must much apply greater pedal pressure and the distance required to stop the vehicle will increase.
BMW has reported three minor accidents with no confirmed injuries. According to Bimmerfest, drivers who encounter a braking problem should "pull the emergency brake and apply as much brake pedal pressure as possible. If your BMW has an electronic parking brake pull up and hold the switch to engage the brake." Drivers should then park in a safe location and contact BMW Roadside Assistance.
BMW broadens engine bolt recall to nearly half-million cars worldwide
Fri, 11 Apr 2014Almost one month ago, we reported on a BMW investigation into a potentially defective bolt that lived in the company's VANOS variable valve timing system. At that point, the potential recall was seemingly limited to Chinese-market cars; the company was filing a recall application with Chinese officials.
Today, Bloomberg is reporting that the engine bolt issue has expanded into a recall for several world markets, involving some 489,000 vehicles. BMW was able to verify that report to Autoblog, while also providing a great deal more detail about the issue and vehicles affected.
The recall affects vehicles powered by N55 inline six-cylinder gasoline engines equipped with VANOS and Valvetronic technologies. 1 Series, 3 Series, 5 Series and 5 Series Gran Turismo, X3, X5, X6 and Z4 models from the 2010 to 2012 model years are included, as is the 2012 6 Series.
