Alpine White on Black Sport Leather with Evo Upgrades, the perfect drivers car. This enthusiast owned M3 has been tastefully upgraded with some of the best OEM and aftermarket parts available. Most importantly the engine, A 2.5L S14 Engine. After experiencing the increased power from the 2.5 liter you simply cannot go back. In the M3's final years of competition in touring car racing, rule changes increased maximum engine displacement to 2.5-liter's. Because of this BMW produced a production run of 600 very special M3's with this more powerful engine. Nice examples of these cars have now eclipsed over one hundred thousand dollars. This is the pinnacle of the road going E30 M3. This car is an opportunity to experience the ownership at a fraction of the cost. The motor was rebuilt in early 2009 and the mileage at the time of overhaul was 185550. This represents the mileage of the engine since rebuild at roughly 37,000 miles. The engine runs beautifully. technical info: Schrick 284/278 Cams, 11:1 CP Pistons, adjustable cam gears, BMW EVO Oil pump, BMW DTM Baffled Oil Pan, E36 Chain Tensioner, Evo Valve Springs, Evo Air Box, replaced valve shims, valve job. Valve Cover and intake plenum powder coated red. Exhaust is custom by Cars and Concepts Tampa Florida(local BMW e30 M3 specialist). Aluminum radiator.The Transmission is original and is in great shape. The clutch(Sachs/OEM), bearings, rear main seal(OEM) and shifter bushings were replaced less than 1000 miles ago and the flywheel was machined. The flywheel has been lightened to about 12lbs and does not cause any chatter or excessive vibration. This allows quicker revs similar to the factory flywheel in the Sport Evo. The car also features shorter shift throws courtesy of an OEM BMW Z3 shifter. I have tried to keep all modifications as period correct as possible during my tenure with the car.

BMW M235i Racing restores our faith in 'M'

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

Based on the upcoming BMW 2 Series and aimed at amateur and semi-professional racers, the 2014 BMW M235i Racing is a stripped-down, race-spec coupe ready to take on the Nürburgring in the VLN Endurance Championship race series against cars from Audi, Porsche and Toyota.
Obvious in the image above (click to enlarge), BMW has given the M235i Racing the wide-body treatment with a track that has been stretched by 3.5 inches. Under the hood, the 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder receives a power boost from a stock 322 horsepower up slightly to 333 hp, while other modifications include a full FIA roll cage, a racing fuel tank and a limited slip rear differential.
The M235i Racing replaces the M3 GT4 as BMW's factory racer, and it will be priced at 59,500 euros (close to $80,000), which is about as affordable as a factory-prepped racecar can get. The full press release is posted below, but we can't wait to see this car in action next year.

The importance of Angel Eyes, Ventiports and four round taillights

Sun, 01 Sep 2013

Just the other day, we told you about how Lincoln isn't really a luxury brand, according to Ford's head design man, J Mays. His argument was that Lincoln lacked the unique DNA to differentiate it from the rest of the market, although the arrival of the MKZ is beginning to change that. Now, we have this video from Autoline Detroit, where Jim Hall, an analyst for 2953 Analytics who was quoted in yesterday's Lincoln story, explains the influence of certain styling cues and how they impact the brands.
Using BMW (Angel Eyes) and Buick (Ventiports) as examples for small, simple touches that serve to distinguish the brand's vehicles on the road, Hall then points out how changing trademark styling features, as Chevrolet has done on the new Corvette Stingray, can hurt the vehicle's public perception. Take a look at the full video below for an interesting dive into what these styling features mean to their individual brands.

Toyota-BMW sports car to gain all-wheel drive, supercapacitors?

Mon, 24 Mar 2014

Sales of salt are skyrocketing following the latest rumor of the planned joint-venture sports car from Toyota and BMW. The whisperings indicate that project will spawn both a replacement for the BMW Z4 and a long-awaited Toyota Supra successor based on the FT-1 Concept shown above. Word is that the new cars will feature front-engine, all-wheel-drive layouts with plug-in hybrid technology. This news would appear to run somewhat counter to earlier reports that BMW and Toyota are teaming for a six-figure hybrid supercar.
According to Autocar, the project will benefit from the experience Toyota gained with the TS030, its hybridized Le Mans prototype. The evidence for this is, of all things, a Toyota Yaris - in particular, the Yaris Hybrid R that was shown at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show last September. That car used a 300-horsepower, 1.6-liter gas engine, while a pair of 60-horsepower electric motors provided all-wheel-drive push (an additional motor also sent additional juice to the front axle). The 414-system-horsepower drivetrain used supercapacitors in place of the traditional lithium-ion batteries of traditional hybrids.
For the production sports cars, Autocar claims that the Yaris Hybrid R's setup will serve as the basis for the new powertrain, although it won't be a direct carryover. Instead, a 2.0-liter BMW engine will be paired with Toyota-designed, BMW-built motors.
