VEHICLE RELISTED - Buyer had second thoughts on buying car he had never seen before so I returned deposit to him and canceled the deal. I can understand his situation, but please do not bid on vehicle if you are not serious about purchasing.

This is a very clean 1997 BMW M3 with vader seats, 11-button OBC, fresh oil change and comes with stock E36 wheels and BBS replicas (Currently on car). Car is in great condition and very clean considering it is a 1997. Recently the headliner, radiator, and radiator fan clutch have been replaced. New brake pads and rotors in the front due to warped rotor (previous owner put on cheap slotted rotors). Rear brakes are in good shape. Paint is in good condition. Minor blemish near front right fog lamp (small debris must have popped up and scraped paint while driving. I am not in a rush to sale this car, but I will entertain reasonable offers. I relocated back to Nashville from LA (car was shipped back, not driven) and would like to get a bigger vehicle at this point. Car is fun to drive and never been tracked. Please email me with any questions on the car.

I realized that the questions and answers from the original ad here on eBay are not posted here. Wanted to get them copy and pasted here for additional info about this M3:

Q:	Nice looking M3! A couple of questions: Has the car been smoked in (very important)? What kind of suspension is on the car? Does the car have 2 kinds of wheels or am I just mistaken? Are any check engine or codes being thrown on the dash or check control screen? Condition of the headliner? Many thanks.	Aug-10-14
A:	Thanks for your interest. Car has never been smoked in. Konis suspension on the car. 2 sets of wheels come with the car, stock set and BBS reps. No check engine lights or codes. Headliner was replaced last year except for cover on sunroof which is still holding up.
Q:	Hi, i have a few questions. Does the A/C work? Does the power steering pump leak? Have you had any issues with the rear shock towers breaking? Have you ever replaced the shocks and struts? Do you have the maintenance records? Are the spare wheels staggered or all one size? Are they mounted with tires? Condition? Thanks, I am very interested in the car.	Aug-10-14
A:	A/C works great. The HVAC blower was replaced shortly after I bought the car. No issues with the power steering pump that I am aware of. Rear shock towers are good. Previous owner had koni's installed on all 4 corners. Spare wheels are staggered. I will include all maintenance records that I have with the car. Previous owner gave me everything he had regarding maintenance records. Some of which goes back to the original owner. Plus I have some additional parts (OEM kidney grilles, taillights and turn signal lamps to name a few) and I will be including with the car. Stock wheels have tires, but the tires will need to be replaced before too long. Tires on BBS replicas are in good condition, only have about 10000 miles on them at the very most.
Q:	Any issues with the car? How's the paint?	Aug-09-14
A:	Thanks for your interest in the car. Only issues regarding the car that I am aware of are some burned out pixels in the OBC (a typical issue with the OBC on the e36) and occasionally some speakers cut in and out. The original owner had an aftermarket radio installed in the trunk of car. I was told by the person I purchased the car from that he was a lawyer in Northern California and had a sound system installed for classical music... seemed strange in my book, but to each his own. I am a bit of a purist, so the first thing I did was have an audio shop in LA take it out of the trunk. Ever since then, the speaker wiring seems to have a bit of trouble from time to time. As for the paint it seems to be in great shape for a 1997. I had the car detail earlier this year and I was amazed at how good the car looked. On the front right corner near the fog lamp there is a spot where something must have popped up while driving and put a minor spot on the car. Aside from that nothing out of the ordinary other than what you would expect for a 1997. I go back and forth on even wanting to sell this car, but if I do I will probably get another e36 somewhere down the line. I had an e46 m3 prior to this one and although that is still my favorite body style of m3, I can say without question I have enjoyed driving this e36 much more. Please let me know if you have any more questions.

2014 BMW 6 Series gets Frozen Brilliant White convertible, manual option for M6

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

BMW has announced updates to the 6 Series lineup today, including a special "Frozen" edition of the convertible, and a 640i Gran Coupe in all-wheel-drive trim.
The 2014 BMW 6 Series Convertible Frozen Brilliant White Edition (catchy name, right?) will be available from select BMW dealers this May, and will offer buyers the signature paint, Frozen Black mirror caps, a black grille and uniquely designed, 20-inch M Performance wheels. Just 100 examples of the FBWE 6er will be produced, with both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive cars in the mix, for starting prices of $106,995 and $110,095, respectively (both prices include $895 in destination and handling charges).
BMW has also informed us that all of its 6 Series Gran Coupe models will now be available with the company's xDrive all-wheel-drive system. No pricing has been given for the xDrive versions of the car as of yet.

2014 BMW 4 Series convertible spotted

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

We've seen a few spy shot packages featuring the upcoming BMW 4 Series Convertible already, but never with the car quite so naked as in this latest batch. Nabbed just outside the BMW Nürburgring workshop in Germany, this Melbourne Red 4 Series also shows the M Sport package for the first time.
With all of the cladding removed, we can see that the convertible shares the 4 Series coupe's great-looking nose and front end, though the resolution of that folding hard top into the rear bodywork remains a bit harsh.
With the 4 Series coupe now completely official, we have a pretty good idea of what the powertrain lineup for the 'vert will be. We'll be pretty surprised if a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and a 3.0-liter six-cylinder turbo aren't the go-to engines at launch. Production of the droptop is likely to begin at the end of the year, so start bugging your local BMW dealer.

BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coup'e bows at Villa d'Este

Fri, 24 May 2013

The first collaboration between BMW and Pininfarina is this blunt-force two-door called the BMW Pininfarini Gran Lusso Coupe revealed at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. Said to be the "interpretation of a luxurious BMW Coupé as seen through the eyes of Pininfarina," once you get past all of the design-speak, you can focus on the full-bodied and keen-edged missile sitting on 21-inch wheels.
The long wheelbase makes for short overhangs. Up front, BMW's design language gets scraped across a whetstone, everything getting sharper, including the usually round cat's eye headlights that have gone dihedral. Under the hood is a V12, behind the twin-kidney grille in matte-sheen aluminium and high-gloss black. The same aluminum treatment also backs the taillights, the lenses designed to let air flow through them.
Inside is room for four, a cockpit canted toward the driver, Foglizzo leather in black and Tobacco Brown, 48,000-year-old kauri wood from New Zealand, deep pile carpet on the floors, a patterned virgin wool headliner and an "oblong aperture in the roof liner" set off by white LEDs.
