Very Rare 1995 E36 BMW M3 - ENGINE has only 78,000 miles on it, Avus Blue, Lt Gray Leather Interior w/ Vader Front Seats
Clean Title, Heavily Modified and Finely Tuned. I have the CARFAX also. To answer the first question on everyone's mind, I am posting this because it is becoming impractical for me and my family to have it. My family is growing, I need a four door vehicle or a house with more garage space. Since the later is less realistic for me, the car can be replaced for something the whole family can use. This car has been a joy to build and use. I've owned it for about 6 years and have clocked less than 6,000 miles per year on it. It has been babied. Any little tick or sound has been remedied and fixed about the moment I notice it. I have documents and receipts totalling over $27,000 in repairs and modifications not including what I paid to buy the car. I'm sure there are several hundreds of dollars more I don't have receipts for repairs and modifications. Repairs were to replace worn out parts, like the alternator and water pump, and modifications are a plenty. I bought this car from my best friend who needed the money at the time. Besides the engine swap, I did the rest of the modifications. The only thing that is left original on this car, basically, is the drivetrain and disc brakes.
Here is a list of the changes made to this car from stock:
The car remains OBD I
3.0 motor replaced with a new 3.2 liter motor at 111,246 miles
Rebuilt head with Schrick 264/256 cams, new oil pump, timing chain, and related parts

There are most likely parts i've missed listing, but the major stuff is there. I have tons of extra parts too. The A/C blows cold and everything works. I have a sub-box and amp in the trunk too. The little computer in the center console had some pixels not working so I just unplugged it. From what you could read, it worked just fine, it just annoyed me. There are some paint blemishes on the front from regular driving on the crappy Utah roads, tiny rocks and stuff are unforgiving. There is also a crack in the LF headlight casing and bumper cover in the center area. There are minor scratches here and there, but barely noticable. I tried taking pictures of them, but they just don't show up well enough, that is how minor they are.
This baby dynoed at 302 rear wheel horsepower at 6 psi of boost. I'm sure if you drove it down to sea level it would dyno around 375 rear wheel horsepower and be pushing around 9 psi. I have a group of friends with a similar setup on their M3's and they are at sea level and that is what their power and boost levels are at. She is a sleeper for sure. I pass the emissions tailpipe sniffer and inpection every year with flying colors. This car is fully street legal and safe with a CLEAN title. I drove it to work and back for the last 6 years which is why you will only see about 5-6,000 miles per year on it. My bride hates driving the clutch and we hate packing the family in the smallness of it when we take it out. Like I said before, it is impractical for me and my family.
I am looking for the right buyer. I have it listed locally (and reserve the right to end the listing early) and have many offers from my BMW CCA. Since I am not desperate to sell, we (our group including the people offering) decided to have some fun with it. We wanted to see how high an offer I can get for it in a 21 day period which is why it is posted here. We high-balled the buy-it-now just so we can give some breathing room for the offers. To help give you an idea of what we are looking at and what offer you might want to make, the lowest offer I have is 10,000 and that is locally and cash. It will sell for at least that.
The car is genuinely for sale and I am not up a creek if it doesn't sell so, please, no low ball offers and if you come to see it, no joy rides. I respectfully ask for serious interest only. Obviously nobody can buy this car with a conventional auto loan, you'll need more than that. Thank you for reading this far. Please email me with ANY questions before you bid or offer. I will be happy to talk over the phone too, just email me if you're interested. The car is sold AS-IS with no warranty expressed or implied. I'll only accept cash or a cashiers check from a reputable bank or credit union. Once payment has cleared I will give up possession of the car.

BMW 2 Series Active Tourer is the world's first front-drive Bimmer [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Feb 2014While BMW has been showing concepts for its Active Tourer for over a year, they never seemed entirely real. Why would BMW, a company that has built its image on sporty, rear-wheel drive sedans, move into the five-door, front-wheel-drive market? The answer is still not entirely clear, but the new BMW 2 Series Active Tourer is very real. It launches in Europe later this year and is rumored to come to the US in 2015.
To brand purists, a front-wheel drive BMW may seem anathema to everything the company has built, and the production Active Tourer has clearly been built to provide drivers with a luxurious but utilitarian package first and foremost. It is 170.9 inches long and rides on a 105.1-inch wheelbase, but despite its compact dimensions, its high roof allows for 16.53-cubic-feet of cargo space with the rear seats up or 53.33 cubic feet with them folded flat. Its general appearance is nearly identical to the previous concepts, except with a blunter nose and cleaner lines. The front end wears BMW's traditional dual circular headlights and naturally, while the profile incorporates the company's traditional Hofmeister kink into the greenhouse's rear pillar. The interior has been designed to be especially useful with a sliding rear seat, adjustable rear backrests, fold-flat backrests and optional features like an automatic tailgate and panoramic sunroof.
Unlike both previous concepts, none of the Active Tourer models at launch use hybrid power. For Europe, the hatchback is going on sale with three engine options. The basic version is the 218i Active Tourer with a 1.5-liter, turbocharged three-cylinder with 134 horsepower that we just previewed in the 2014 Mini Cooper - good enough for average fuel economy of 48 miles per gallon in the EU cycle when equipped with a six-speed manual. The next step up is the 225i Active Tourer with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that makes 228 hp and offers 39-mpg average fuel economy. Finally, there is the there is the 218d Active Tourer with its 148-hp, 2.0-liter turbodiesel and 57 mpg average fuel economy on the EU cycle. A six-speed manual is standard on all of them, but there is a six-speed automatic option for the 218i and eight-speed automatics available for the 225i and 218d. All-wheel drive will be available on future models.
BMW expects China to pass US as its top market in 2013
Thu, 11 Jul 2013When you combine two billion citizens, 100 cities with more than a million inhabitants and an economy that's as unrestrained as Jim Cramer on an Adderall binge, China's explosive auto industry growth shouldn't be a huge surprise. Audi already lists the communist country as its largest market, while Mercedes-Benz is expecting it to be there in the next few years. Now, according to a report from Automotive News, BMW is expecting the People's Republic to overtake the United States in sales by the end of 2013.
We already discovered the extent that BMW is going to in establishing a dedicated Chinese stronghold, when we explored BMW's Shanghai-based DesignWorks studio ahead of April's Shanghai Motor Show. And while we argued that DesignWorks Shanghai hasn't really borne fruit, it isn't due to a lack of sales.
BMW China has seen a 16-percent jump in year-over-year sales, lead by a 28-percent gain in 5 Series sales. Part of BMW's growth strategy comes from an ever-expanding dealership network. Remember those 100 cities we mentioned with over one million people? According to Karsten Engel, CEO of BMW's Chinese operations, those 100-million-plus city dwellers don't have access to a premium dealership.
BMW M235i Racing takes to the track
Mon, 09 Dec 2013Last month, BMW showed off a motorsports version of its new 2 Series Coupe called the M235i Racing. While that single image was obviously a rendering or design model, BMW Motorsports has now released a video showing the real deal being tested.
From what we can tell from beneath the camouflage, the wide-body fenders - to accommodate a 3.5-inch track stretch - are slightly different than the image BMW previously released. Still, the body is noticeably different from the stock coupe. The video, which is posted below, shows glimpses of the race-prepped interior, including a full FIA roll cage, but more importantly we get to hear the 333-horsepower engine and its throaty exhaust in action.
