I am selling my baby because I need money. 1985 3 series BMW e30 with a s52 engine from a 96 m3 in it. This car is ridiculously fast, I have beaten brand new S4's in it. She is in great condition, with a few minor cosmetic things that need to be done. I would do it myself but I am strapped for cash hence me selling her in order to move to NYC where I wont need a car. The chassis has about 150k on it and the engine has about 120k but was rebuilt before it was put into the car. The car has a 5 lug conversion. There is bluetooth connection, you can play music wirelessly from a phone, GPS capabilities, hands free talk, and you can download apps for the display. New speakers were installed last year, its been garage keep for the one winter it has been on the east coast, other then that it was a cali car it whole life, so absolutely no rust. Paint job is new and in great condition. Dash board is perfect, normally they are cracked. The dash is not completely screwed in on one point but just needs a couple screws and your good to go. Other issues, the glove box wont close because the dash is loose but when that is screw in it will be fine. This care is super rare, especially with the engine, and in the condition it is in with mint paint and no rust. The owner before me did all the work personally, so I dont know ever bit and detail of the swap but he did a lot of things I forget about, but he did the job very well. It has the m3 ecu2. The spedomotor is out of an m3 so it has the light up blue display which is cool, the M3 seats. This car really is a beast, and I wish I didnt have to sell it but I am broke and moving to NYC so some lucky person gets to have my baby. The clutch has a loose barring or plate something so it sometimes makes a noise but I have been told its an easy fix. Shifts and drives great just sometimes theres a noise when in neutral. Any questions comments or concerns feel free to ask.

2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe
Wed, 30 Oct 2013One of the many perks of this job is, not surprisingly, the cars. It's relatively easy to snag the keys to a vehicle for a special occasion, whether that be for a road trip, tailgating or helping a friend move. And while sometimes the tailgating might happen with a Ford F-150 instead of a Range Rover and the road trip might be in a minivan rather than a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, occasionally the stars align and a special vehicle arrives for an equally special time.
That's exactly how I found myself dressed to the nines and behind the wheel of the BMW M6 Gran Coupe, a $135,375 (as-tested) rocket ship, en route to a rare multi-wedding weekend to celebrate with two pairs of my closest friends on the biggest day of their lives (a very special congratulations to Kara and Zach, and Laura and Andrew). Continuing with our nuptial theme, the M mechanicals and the 6 Series Gran Coupe body are a match made in heaven.
BMW 2 Series Active Tourer pulls its way onto the stage
Wed, 05 Mar 2014We know what you might be thinking: here comes another BMW with yet another kind of roofline. Only this isn't just another BMW. It's the first front-drive BMW, and the first time we've ever seen it in person.
That model, of course, is the new 2 Series Active Tourer, debuting here in Geneva as the production version of the Concept Active Tourer and the beefier Concept Active Tourer Outdoor that followed. It shares about as much with the 2 Series Coupe as a jelly donut, but takes BMW into a new market segment - that of the high-roofed hatchback (or micro-minivan, depending on your perspective) occupied by the likes of the Mercedes-Benz B-Class and Volkswagen Golf Sportsvan.
Power comes from a choice of 1.5-liter turbo three, 2.0-liter turbo four or 2.0-liter turbodiesel - but aside from the forced-induction engines what they all the versions have in common is what makes the 2 Series Active Tourer newsworthy: they all sit up front, driving the front wheels. It's an idea BMW purists might not appreciate, but one we'd all better get used to just the same.
Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with
Mon, 12 May 2014Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.
