Super Clean Bmw M3 Autox & Track Ready. Many Upgrades A Muts See! No Rust! on 2040-cars
Galena, Ohio, United States
|
You are bidding on a super clean and completely rust free daily/autox 95 BMW M3. The car is ready to compete in autox & track days. Over $3,000 in suspension alone done recently! Do not let the mileage fool you, this car has been very well taken care of! I have literally a book a receipts for past and recent work done. Pulls really strong, good compression on all cylinders and sounds really nice. Paint shines up really well, zero rust anywhere to be found on the car but the car was keyed in 3 small spots and the previous owned tried to touch it up (pics shown). Other than than, I see no other major defects. Even though it has a roll bar I have kept a lot of the comfort features intact so it could be daily driven. The working onboard computer is still installed, cruise works, power windows, Alpine stereo (speakers sound cruddy) has heat and a/c. I haven't ran the a/c for over 2 years so it may be due for a recharge but will check as soon as the weather breaks. Interior is pretty good but the door cards are starting to show some age and peel at the bottoms but there is a new headliner installed. I believe the clutch may need bled as I noticed some chirp in 3rd gear on my last outing. Seemed to have went away once it warmed up a bit. My loss, your gain! I purchased this car over 2 years ago with the intent over autox and track days only but a busy work schedule has prevented me from enjoying the car. It has literally sat in my garage for almost 2 years with the exception of 4 autox events I attended in 2012. I have listed below all the upgrades/work performed within the last 900 miles as well as anything major repaired in the last 40k miles. In addition to the items below the car includes a fitted car cover and some other small odds and ends. Please feel free to contact me to see the car in person or if you have any questions. As is, no warranty expressed or implied. As always, good luck and happy bidding! **** Please feel free to email me with offers or requesting additional pictures as I have tones of them******

BMW readying competition pack for M5, M6
Thu, 25 Apr 2013According to Car and Driver, citing a report in BMW Blog, BMW will be offering performance upgrades - likely called the Competition package - for its M5 and M6 models (including the convertible and Gran Coupe versions of the M6). Both cars will continue to be offered with the normal 560-horsepower, 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engines, but this new performance pack is expected to add an additional 15 hp to the mix.
No need to worry, however - the upgrades won't simply be limited to a small boost in power. These M5 and M6 models will reportedly get new wheels, black exhaust tips, a more direct steering ratio and reworked suspension geometry which will provide better overall handling. Top speed is said to remain governed at 190 miles per hour, but that these extra improvements will shave one-tenth of a second off the cars' 0-60 times.
No pricing information has been revealed as of this writing, though we imagine it'll likely come at a substantial cost over the current starting prices of the M5 and M6 ($90,200 and $108,350, respectively).
Rinspeed Budii Concept is a rolling smorgasbord of future tech [w/video]
Wed, Mar 4 2015There's a strange dichotomy going on inside the Rinspeed Budii Concept. Actually, there's a slew of seemingly mismatched ideas, but that seems par for the course when it comes to the mind of Frank Rinderknecht, no? For instance, there's a manual-wind Manero PowerReserve watch embedded in the cabin, which seems quaint, considering the high-tech nature of the car's design and intent. A high-resolution camera apparently "recognizes" when the watch is getting low on power, and a robotic arm "uses ingenious motions to wind the movement" of the watch. Seriously. The aforementioned robotic arm is a seven-axis unit that can "reach out" to the driver or passenger so that they can take over driving duties from the autonomous car. In this way, the occupants can choose to put their lives under the control of the "cognitive and intuitive autopilot" provided by a telescoping laser scanner and a high-res camera that map the car's surroundings, or to make their own "ethical" driving decisions. We kind of assume that refers to the current autonomous-driving question of the times: whether or not to save the lives inside the car our outside of it in case of emergency. If all of that sounds suitably high-tech, you should also know that the "feel-good lounge atmosphere" of the interior features removable plexiglass work surfaces inside, folding blinds for privacy that are custom printed with user-selectable designs, air outlets with ambient lighting, a "wellness shower in the headliner" (whatever that means) and a center console with – you guessed it – cup holders. The platform on which all of this is based is the all-electric BMW i3 hatchback. If all of that sounds intriguing, we suggest you read all about it in the press release below and take it all in via the included image galleries. Rinspeed "Budii" redefines human-machine interaction Reach out to robots The vision of autonomous driving will soon become reality and will fundamentally change the interaction of man and automobiles. While the research centers of the automotive industry are still feverishly working on the technical solutions, progressive thinkers such as the Swiss idea factory Rinspeed are already giving concrete thought to how automated private transport will transform the car and the man-machine system. Besides fundamental conceptual changes, this will also have to involve issues of ethics and society. In the past, the robots in the factories of this world merely assembled cars for people.
A look back on BMW, South Carolina and Southern manufacturing
Sat, 29 Dec 2012It has been 20 years since BMW broke ground on its Spartanburg, SC manufacturing facility, and while the automaker doesn't have any plans to mark the moment, economists and industry analysts have taken a closer look at the facility's impact on South Carolina, the South and global manufacturing. As of November, the Spartanburg plant's 7,000 employees cranked out 25,000 vehicles per month, and BMW has poured some $6 billion into the state since the plant opened in 1993. While that figure nearly matches the state's proposed budget for next year, some say there have been drawbacks.
To begin with, South Carolina provided BMW with hundreds of millions of dollars worth of public money and tax breaks with little public oversight, setting a precedent that would repeat itself with other corporations. The Detroit News reports that a Pew Center evaluation found 26 states didn't have a sufficient system for evaluating tax incentive performance. But BMW opened the door for a Southern manufacturing renaissance, with automakers from Mercedes-Benz to Hyundai and Volkswagen opening plants in the Deep South.
While states have raced to offer ever sweeter tax and cash incentives for big manufacturers, officials say BMW is proof the system can pay dividends. You can read the full piece here.
