1990 No Frills Bmw E30 M3 Base Coupe 2-door 2.3l on 2040-cars

Year:1990 Mileage:136797
Location:

San Francisco, California, United States

San Francisco, California, United States

So I’m not going to dwell into the history of M Motorsport or why the M3 is a worthy investment.  I figure if you’re looking at this ad you pretty much know what the car is and why you should buy it.  Let’s address what I believe to be problem areas.

The CON’s:
- Temperamental sunroof.
- Coffee stain on carpet behind driver’s seat.
- Alignment.
- Scratches on front bumper and left rear.*
- Weathered rear spoiler, paint cracking.*
- Missing 1” tow hook cap. Assuming another M3 owner saw it and stole it.
- Aged front original seats, worn not torn.
- 136,797miles on original motor.
- Aftermarket Alpine radio.
- Aftermarket Nardi steering wheel.
- Aftermarket AC Schnitzer pedals.
- Irritating young photographers if you don’t like the attention.

*- can have bumpers and rear spoiler repainted for additional $900. I left them unpainted so as not to deceive the new buyer.


The PRO’s:
- Clean title. Smogged. California car.
- Bonafide 1990 M3. Factory 212hp. The last year sold in the state of California. 91’s never in CA.
- Untouched engine.
- All original Sterling Silver Metallic paint. No repainted parts on the car.
- Original motor. Matching #s.
- Euro headlights.
- Mint interior pieces. NO CRACKS or scuffs on otherwise mint dash and center console.
- Functioning power windows, A/C, heater, radio, wipers, headlights, signals, and reverse.
- Complete tool kit.
- Never tracked.
- No accidents on chassis.
- Oil changes every 3500miles.  Factory oil filter. 100% smooth idle.
- Replaced door seals and near mint window seals from a year ago.
- 90+% new Falken tires replaced 1 year ago.
- Brake pads and rotors replaced 1 year ago with tires.
- Functioning door and trunk lock with original key.

Bid with complete confidence. Car will also come with many extra parts which I bought for spare.

BMW CS reinterpretation proves retro can be sexy [w/video]

Fri, 28 Mar 2014

Designer David Obendorfer doesn't work for BMW, but perhaps the German automaker should give him a call. His CS Vintage Concept shows a singular ability to understand the brand's classic style and reinterpret it for today. He isn't some amateur, either. Obendorfer has an industrial design degree and has been penning the interiors and exteriors of yachts from the Officina Italiana Design for five years, which counts luxury shipbuilders like Riva and Sanlorenzo among its clients. His website shows a real passion and knack for modernizing '60s and '70s European cars, too.
Obendorfer prefers to reimagine classic automotive styles. "Retro cars are not copies of their predecessors or renovated specimens, rather they are carefully studied reconsiderations, strongly rooted in contemporary style," he tells Autoblog. For the CS Vintage Concept, he worked to update the looks of the seminal BMW 2000CS and its E9 chassis while placing them on a modern platform. Obendorfer's inspiration comes from his belief that the later CS models' design is partially responsible for defining BMW styling, with its shark-nose front and four round headlights.
The CS Vintage Concept's shape starts with a jutting hood and a quartet of LED headlights, but the whole design really comes together in profile. The Hofmeister Kink at the rear pillar with the BMW Roundel is a nice nod to the originals, yet the proportions still find the perfect fusion of classic and modern. The interior is minimalist, with a vast expanse of wood for the dashboard at first glance, but the latter opens to expose the car's infotainment system.

BMW 8 Series turns 25 [w/video]

Wed, 04 Jun 2014

From the very beginning, the BMW 8 Series was a head turner. It was hardly a common sight in the first place, and the angular lines and low, pointed nose made the GT look like something special on the road. It's been 25 years since the Bavarian brand's flagship coupe of the '90s debuted, and owners celebrated the anniversary in style in Germany.
The 8 Series still looks great today, but its popup headlights give away its age a little. You just don't see them anymore. It was introduced at the 1989 Frankfurt Motor Show as the 850i with a 5.0-liter V12 under the hood capable of 295 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. Later, even bigger V12s would find their way in there. Production lasted until 1999, but they were rather exclusive with 30,621 built in its lifetime.
To celebrate the anniversary, several BMW clubs organized 120 examples for display at the company's headquarters in Munich. The brand took advantage of the display to show off the ultimate 8 prototype as well. The one-off special packed a 550-horsepower V12 and a body with optimized aero. That engine eventually became the basis for the one in the McLaren F1.

Forget about greenlighting it, BMW is already testing the M2

Thu, 08 May 2014

One week ago, we reported, with some skepticism, that BMW had greenlit a car we've been waiting for since the 1 Series M Coupe was discontinued - the M2. Now, we have the first images of that new hotshot underoing testing in Germany.
What's our reasoning here? After all, this just looks like an M235i. Well, that camo is disguising swollen fenders designed to conceal wider tires. Now, these aren't production changes, and it's very likely that the eventual M2's fenders will look quite a bit different. According to our spy, the front fenders have been borrowed from the M235i Racing, while the rears are from an unknown source.
Our spies are also quick to point out a few other high-performance items on this mule. The cross-drilled brakes and blue M calipers are one such item, although we aren't sure how much they differ from the optional stoppers on the production M235i. The black wheels are borrowed from the M3 and M4, and are shod in what look like a sticky set of Michelin tires.
