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 dishes on 'lightweight' 2014 M4
Mon, 15 Jul 2013BMW's M cars are not what we'd call featherweights. Sure, the big, bruising twin-turbocharged V8s deliver a lot of power, but the fact of the matter is that more weight often equates to less fun.
Which is why we're so excited over a recent sit-down the blokes at Top Gear had with BMW's product manager for small and medium cars, Matt Collins. The chat led to talk of the M3 Coupe replacing M4. Collins confirmed that, yes, the new M4 would be turbocharged. The new engine will also be a six-cylinder, which should make purists happy.
"What we'd like is more focus on lightweight engineering." -Matt Collins
2015 BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe
Thu, 22 May 2014Alpina has been lovingly modifying BMWs for half a century, but as we learned during a tour of the company's HQ in Buchloe, Germany, Alpina has been in the wine distribution business for nearly as long. The company has an estimated million bottles on reserve in two warehouses and a beautiful wine cellar/tasting room on property in western Bavaria, just yards from where its 1,500 hand-crafted automobiles per year are produced.
What does that have to do with the new B6 Gran Coupe? Well, it may help make sense of the overall character of Alpina's automobiles, especially vis-à-vis the similarly priced, similarly powerful M Cars that BMW sells in far greater numbers. Alpinas are built by wine connoisseurs for wine connoisseurs, or wine connoisseur types; they are not rip-snortin' racecars for the road - that's M's domain. Alpinas are esoteric, rich in character and nuanced. But make no mistake: they are very, very fast.
Our brief first drive of the B6 Gran Coupe - the only 6 Series-based Alpina we'll get in the US for 2015 - took place on German autobahns and Austrian alpine roads, where the car is more at home than anywhere in the world, both literally and figuratively. With 540 horsepower and 540 pound-feet of torque on tap from its twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 and xDrive all-wheel drive, the B6 is said to be able to hit 60 miles per hour in 3.7 seconds on its way to a top speed of 198 mph, a massive 43 mph faster than the M6, which is electronically limited to 155 mph. Yet even at insane speeds - we saw an indicated 190 mph on one particularly lonely stretch of Autobahn - the B6 feels more luxurious than sporty, taking the countenance of a low-slung Bentley Continental GT or an Aston Martin Rapide S, not a knife-edged supercar. It doesn't feel scintillating like a Porsche 911 GT2; rather it feels rock steady, like the 4,780-pound luxury sedan it is.
Toyota GT86 engineers explored shooting brake and sedan variants, are they still in the cards?
Wed, 13 Mar 2013According to the Toyota UK blog, engineers for the automaker were so excited developing the GT86 coupe that they investigated producing a whole family of models based on the rear-wheel drive sports car. And at least one engineer - product chief Tetsuya Tada - still hopes it can happen, even if not everyone at Toyota is onboard. Tada: "Actually we tried to do this secretly but the executives found us out. They said: 'What are you doing? Will you please focus on the coupe.'"
Those mooted variants included both a four-door sedan and a shooting brake. Why? Aside from the pure excellence of a lightweight, brilliantly handling hatchback, Toyota was keenly aware of the fact that it may need to spread the cost of development out across several models. Tada says that's part of the reason why it was so easy to create the convertible. The company knew from the outset that a softtop version was in the cards, and built the machine's structure to accommodate having the roof sliced off.
Tada also made mention of the already-announced collaboration between Toyota and BMW. The engineer said that the GT86 was particularly helpful because it demonstrated just how successful a product conceived and designed by two different companies can be. While he didn't say exactly what Toyota and BMW are up to, it's clear the two are looking into a number of possibilities. It's an interesting read with a lot of
