1997 BMW M3 Track Race Car

VIN: WBSBG9329VEY74145

Arctic Silver Metallic; 5-speed Manual; 3.2-liter (S50) Inline-6 with 300+ hp; NASA GTS3 and BMW Prepared Class or Track/Race/DE Car; Title; Two-Owners; Tons of Upgrades: Two Sets of Wheels, Diff Cooler, Fall Line Custom Cage (2007), Cams, Headers, Cold Air Intake, Blanton 3.64 diff, Wilwood Brakes, OBD I ECU, Two Racetech Seats (new in 2011, one barely used), JRZ Suspension, Double-Adjustable Shocks, Racing Dynamics Strut Brace, Dual Fuel Pumps, Lightweight Flywheel/Heavy Duty Clutch, and Much More; Professionally Maintained.

This 1997 BMW M3 (E36) was delivered new in Dallas, Texas in November of 1996 with 42 miles on the odometer. That original owner sold the car to the second owner in October of 1998 (when the car had 14,807 miles). That second owner originally used the M3 as a road car. He then developed the car extensively for racing/track days in 2007 with around 86,000 miles. The M3 has all original body panels and it is in very good condition. Both owners took excellent care of this M3 and it has been maintained to a very high standard.

Included in the sale are two sets of wheels along with many race spares (new brake rotors, brake pads, service manual, wheel bearings, fuel pump, AIM data acquisition system with Smarty Cam) and a ton of original M3 parts (removed when the car was built for track use in 2007).

This M3 is fully sorted and is an excellent track, race, or DE car. It is not a pieced-together tuner car, it is developed and setup correctly. It is eligible for NASA GTS3 (very big bonus) and also for BMW Prepared Class. It weighs 2755 pounds. The engine develops 268 hp at the rear-wheels (300+ hp at the crank). The engine is an S50 out of a Z3M (20,000 miles on engine when it was built around 2007). The engine has 8000 miles on it since being built. New Racetech seats, a cool suit, and a new Optima battery were installed last year and have little use. The M3 only has a couple of track weekends over the past two-years and offers an inexpensive option for a buyer compared to building their own car from scratch.

Even 'Ring taxi drivers need to respect the Green Hell

Wed, 06 Aug 2014

The Nürburgring Nordschleife has the reputation as one of the most difficult tracks in the world to master - deservedly so. With 14 miles of roadway and about 160 corners over a massive amount of elevation change, the amount of grip can change from turn to turn. As the driver of the famous BMW Ring Taxi learned this weekend after a shunt into the barricades, the 'Ring can bite unsuspecting pros just as easily as amateurs.
The video of the incident below shows the M5 oversteering right into the wall as a phalanx of Porsche models arrive behind it. According to Bridge to Gantry, a website that specializes in news about the 'Ring, the taxi's passengers were picked up by another Ring Taxi and driven off with a fantastic story to tell their friends back home. "The accident happened at low speed, there were two passengers in the car, but no one had at any injuries," said BMW spokesperson Cypselus von Frankenberg to Autoblog via email.
The crash also closed track for over an hour to clean up and to haul the stricken BMW away. When a driver making a living from driving lap after lap at the Nordschleife has a crash even as seemingly minor as this one, it just goes to show why the course has the nickname 'The Green Hell.'

2014 BMW X5 recalled over faulty child-safety locks

Tue, 27 May 2014

BMW is set to recall some 6,400 of its new-for-2014 X5 SUVs built between December 12, 2013 and March 10, 2014 due to concerns that the child safety locks, if set, might deactivate without warning. The problem affects only those vehicles with the automatic soft-closing option.
According to the bulletin issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the lock mechanism on the rear doors "may not have been manufactured to correct tolerances," meaning the safety locks could disengage with a simple pull of the door handle. Basically, with a pair of tugs, the rear doors could be opened from the inside, regardless of child safety locks.
BMW is in the process of notifying owners of affected vehicles. Any necessary repairs will be conducted free of charge. Take a look below for the official press release from NHTSA.

BMW Individual gives 760Li a Sterling reputation

Thu, 24 Oct 2013

Standard chrome too plebeian for your taste? You can order a Rolls-Royce with its Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament made out of just about anything you want: gold, silver, glass... you name it. But if your sense of style is a bit less Anglo and a bit more Saxon, BMW has another option for you.
Feast your eyes on the BMW Individual 760Li Sterling edition. (But don't look directly at it. Don't you dare.) Crafted in partnership between BMW Individual and the silversmiths at Robbe & Berking, the special 7 Series is adorned with hammered sterling silver trim inside and out. The twin-kidney grille, the emblems, the interior trim panels... all hand-made in silver. So you won't want to park this particular Bimmer in the wrong neighborhood, because unlike the Rolls ornament, these don't retract safely under the hood.
The special edition gets a dark grey exterior tint and brown leather interior, the best to highlight the silver brightwork. Otherwise it's mechanically identical to any other 760Li (or so we would presume, as the press release didn't mention specifically), that being the flagship version of BMW's flagship sedan, complete with 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 at the front end of a long wheelbase. Check it out in the gallery above, including the build process at both BMW Individual and Robbe & Berking, and press release below.
