Bmw E30 M-technic S14 Convertible E30 M3 Conversion White Package on 2040-cars
Suwanee, Georgia, United States
This is one of my pride and joys since 1997 when I brought it. This is a rare 1992 e30 325ic M-Technic white package 5 spd car. I am the 3rd owner. Car has never seen snow or salt, always been a California and then Georgia car. NO rust at all. I brought the car from the BMW dealer in 1997 ( I still have the sale flyer) and have been the owner since. In 2008, I converted the car to full E30 M3 spec. It has a S14-4 cylinder engine, S14 5 spd transmission, M3 drive shaft and guibo, M3 shifter, M3 brake system, M3 5 bolt hubs and wheel bearings, e30 M3 struts/Bilstein sport shocks/H&R springs. The S14 has been converted to MAF metering from Split Second, It dramatically made much more torque and more h.p. So why did I replace the M20 6 cylinder engine with a S14 4 cylinder engine: because this is a E30, my other BMW is a 1991 e30 M3 coupe so this made a great companion to that car, and I had all this spare e30 M3 parts to put into this car. So I made this a full e30 M3 spec except for the body. Why didn’t I do a M3 body kit: because I didn’t want to make a e30 M3 cabrio replica exactly like the factory. I have been into E30 M3 since 1991 so I am VERY familiar with E30s and E30 M3s. If you ask around the E30 m3 community, most people know who I am. By starting with the white package M-Technic car, this is also a rare find. The interior was redone in OEM BMW ///M cloth- very rare and expensive as I had to source this fabric from BMW Germany. The steering wheel is very rare from a BMW Z1. You will never find another e30 with this steering wheel. The cluster is from e30 M3 except for the speedometer which is still 325i. Radio is a CD43 in dash CD player from a Z3. There are so many upgrades I have done to this car, some small, some big, some underneath the car, some on the exterior. See all the pictures at my web site. Little details like M-Technic door sills, M-technic badges, M3 EVO 3 hood seals. Samco silicone coolant hoses, real BMW accessory-center console armrest/cup holder, E30 wind deflector, under chassis X stiffener brace..….. The bad stuff: The electric top is now manual as the main rod is bent- I do have a new rod that will go with the car. The top itself is in decent shape, no holes on the fabric- I do clean and treat it every 6 months with special top cleaner and spray. The rear plastic window does have 2 cracks but it is pretty clear as I use plastic polish to keep it clear every year. I am including a brand new top with rear window with the sale of the car. During the previous owner, the left quarter panel has been replaced with factory BMW panel. Paint and fit is perfectly matched with the rest of the car. The car has some scratches here and there. See the pictures on the link below. The BBS RS wheels have all been restored by Metro wheels. ALL 6 wheels were taken apart and each piece polished or painted and re-assembled. All 6 wheels have Khumo tires 225-45-16 tires in decent shape. 2 of the 6 wheels did hit a curb so it has curb rash on the outer rim. I am also including a 7th BBS RS wheel that is un-restored. So you will have 7 BBS RS wheels!!! The gas gauge is not accurate, engine oil leak @ chain tensioner, missing left front brake cooling duct

Mini JCW Paceman vs. BMW M135i in family faceoff
Mon, 15 Apr 2013Over the last year, we've had the chance to drive two of the most exciting hatchbacks in the BMW family - the BMW M135i and the Mini Paceman John Cooper Works - but Autocar has managed to get the two corporate cousins together for a head-to-head comparison. Just like our initial impressions of the Paceman JCW, Autocar has little to complain about this new 215-horsepower hatchback... until it begins to factor in the faster, better-mannered and similarly priced M135i.
Despite laying down an extra 100 hp and delivering a 0-60 time that is almost two seconds quicker, the M135i carries the same price tag of 29,535 pounds in the UK; US pricing for the Paceman starts at $36,200, while it still isn't even clear if the US will be getting the M135i. Even more surprising is the fact that the Paceman falls short of the M135i in regards to rear seat and cargo volume, and just barely squeaks out a win in the fuel economy department. Scroll down to watch the BMW versus Mini hot hatch battle.
2014 BMW R NineT
Tue, 26 Aug 2014BMW is taking a page from the Harley-Davidson playbook with its groundbreaking R NineT. A retro cafe racer with an urban hooligan twist, the bike is fully customizable from fork to exhaust. Of course, any motorcycle can be customized, but the fact that BMW has built its newest bike to encourage modification using parts that can be swapped with simple tools is a radical move for a motorcycle maker best known for its plug-and-play touring bikes.
To underscore exactly how radical, BMW has even partnered with custom heavy-hitter Roland Sands Design, which developed the initial concept for the bike and is now manufacturing a full line of parts and accessories for the R NineT, including radial valve covers ($950), retro racing saddles ($400-$420), radial gauge housing ($400) and a radial headlight bezel ($250), among other things, all of which can be swapped with a socket wrench or screwdriver instead of a hacksaw, wire cutters and TIG welder.
Alas, the bike I tested for two weeks was stock, so consider it a blank canvas.
Hyundai, BMW and Ford win Concept Vehicle of the Year awards
Sat, 06 Jul 2013More than two dozen jurors started with a pool of 23 concept cars introduced at the most recent Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago, Toronto and New York auto shows, then pared it down to three winners in three categories for the twelfth annual North American Concept Vehicle of the Year Awards. The trophy-bearers are said to be those "vehicles most likely to shape the future of the automobile industry," and lead their classes in the Concept Car, Concept Truck and Production Preview divisions.
Hyundai had two cars as finalists for the Concept Car category, the competition boiled down to the Hyundai HCD-14 Genesis concept, Veloster C3 Roll Top, Honda EV-STER and the Toyota Corolla Furia. It won with the HCD-14 Genesis that was introduced at the Detroit Auto Show, a sharp sedan that sharply divided opinion between those who thought it was too much, those who thought it was too much Audi A7, and those who thought it was perfect. The award panel's judges, however, thought so much of it that it's got two awards in one sitting, not only taking concept car honors, but because it earned the highest overall score in the competition it also takes the crown for Most Significant Concept Vehicle of 2013.
The final selection in the Concept Truck category was down to the Ford Atlas, Kia Cross GT, Nissan Resonance and Volkswagen Cross Blue. The Ford Atlas took the silverware, after also winning the Eyes on Design award - shared with the Nissan Resonance - at the Detroit Auto Show where it was introduced.
