Reluctantly its time to let her go... 1995 318is ///M3 conversion (318is body) Hellrot Red (paint still shines and is not faded) 135k miles runs very strong. These 3.0 s50 inline 6 motors will run well over 200k. 5pd Transmission shifts better than any e36's I have driven/owned. The body of the car is a 318s fully converted and fitted with M trim, engine, suspension, brakes, etc. I'll be clear, it does not just have an M motor and badges slapped on it but is fully converted. The title holds the 318is VIN but is every bit an M3 (price adjusted accordingly) . I have taken very good care of this slick ride. gets 23mpg HWY

I do have a full set of winter wheels and blizzak tires back in Ohio that I would be willing to ship out if a good offer is made on the car.
Minimal Issues
A/C needs recharge
Passenger door does not open from the outside, does from the inside.
Passenger power seat needs a new switch. (motors are good)
small ding on lower driver side door
Engine check light is on and off; engine has no hiccups. (not sure...it started after my coolant level sensor wires separated)
Rear Tires 20% tread
Front Tires 85%
The e36 body style in my opinion is the best body style of these M's and will be going up in value years to come.
Would like this to be driven and taken care of as well as I have.
Thanks for looking and Happy Bidding!

Toyota launches BMW-powered Verso in Europe
Tue, 03 Dec 2013BMW makes some sweet-revving engines, but its own vehicles aren't the only ones running BMW engines. So do the latest from Rolls-Royce and Mini, of course, as well as a handful of Peugeots and Citroëns thanks to its joint engine program with PSA. Wiesmann uses BMW engines, as did the famous McLaren F1. And now we can add one more to the list.
That would be the Toyota Verso, a Corolla-based minivan which Toyota builds in Turkey and sells in Europe and a few other markets overseas. The Verso is also now officially the first beneficiary of the partnership between Toyota and BMW as the Japanese automaker has released the MPV with BMW's 1.6-liter turbodiesel four.
The 111-horsepower engine is coupled to a Toyota transmission and joins the Verso range as the fourth (and least powerful) engine in the lineup, alongside the 122hp 2.0 diesel and the gasoline options with 1.6 liters and 160 hp and 1.8 for 180. Future collaborations between the two automakers will include fuel-cell development, a new joint sportscar platform, lightweight bodywork research and a new generation of lithium-air batteries. See the press release below for further details.

Is Audi getting complacent and suffering from brain drain?
Wed, 27 Nov 2013The argument is made in a Reuters article: Audi is falling behind other luxury brands, such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, due to a lack of research-and-development spending and "brain drain," or the migration of top executives and R&D chiefs to other parts of the Volkswagen Group. Reuters notes that Audi's current R&D chief is the third in 16 months.
Audi, which contributed to 40 percent of VW Group's $11.6 billion in profit the first nine months of the year, is delivering cars at a record pace: 1.31 million were delivered from January to October 2013 versus BMW's 1.35 million. Yet Audi, Reuters reports, doesn't have a halo car akin to BMW's new electrified i3 and i8 or an answer to Mercedes' plug-in-hybrid S-Class, and the R&D spending at Audi is less than BMW and Mercedes by a fair margin. It's noted in the article, however, that Audi benefits from other R&D spending within VW Group.
Reuters mentions that BMW "trumpets its new 'i' series" and the new Mercedes CLA and GLA ranges are winning "rave reviews" as part of its argument that Audi's recent lack of technological innovation could hurt future sales. Those cars do pack tons of new technology, some of which are firsts for mainstream production cars. But last time we checked, the i3 could be causing BMW's stock to slide, the CLA isn't receiving the rave reviews that Reuters would have you believe and the GLA hasn't been reviewed yet.
