Low owner CA car - I believe I'm the third owner - that will make a good basis for a restoration. Please note I'm not a professional mechanic nor do I play one on TV.
Basically, I have too many vehicles and not enough time to look after them so it's time for me to admit to that fact and sell a few.
- Very little rust - it has a little ding on the driver's side rocker panel that is showing a little rust. Doesn't photograph well unfortunately. Other than this area, I haven't found any other rust.
- Two sets of wheels and tires - the OEM wheels with 3 season tires in the pictures and a set of Momo five spokes with Blizzak snows that are one season old
- Had new lower front control arms with bushes fitted by the local BMW specialist last year. If you know anything about ixs, you know that's not a cheap job.
- Electrics work, including the heated seats.
- Original unmolested interior - no cracks in the dash, no speaker holes, still has the original radio and speakers
- Odometer is still working, yay :).
- Drivetrain is in good shape with the two exceptions mentioned below, engine still pulls hard. Currently fitted with a "winter" thermostat (88C) but comes with a stock thermostat, a set of stock headlights, a Peake code reader and a Bentley manual.
- Had new rear lights last year, too
- It's all stock - it even still has the OEM exhaust.
- The Antilock brakes just developed a fault - if the car sat for a while and you start it up, the brake pedal is hard as if the brake booster is defective. Press the brake pedal hard and brake pedal will act normally again (as will the brakes) but the Antilock brake warning light will illuminate. The brakes will need work as they are.
- AWD system is working according to my local BMW specialist, but it doesn't pass the jack test
- It has the usual bolster wear on the drivers seat and split seams on the rear seat. Good used replacement bolsters for the front seat are included.
- A/C doesn't blow cold
- One of the rear shocks is leaking. The shocks look like they're the originals and well past due their sell-by date.
- The previous owner had it resprayed in the stock color, unfortunately it's a cheap paint job and that shows - lots of orange peel and an almost complete absence of gloss.
- It has Euro headlights fitted and they work well (I think they're actually Xenons, but I'm not 100% sure). They're self-levelling headlights and unfortunately the self-levelling mechanism is missing so the headlight aim is rather random. A set of stock ix headlights come with the car, though, but the wiring needs to be reverted to stock.

2014 BMW M235i
Tue, 21 Jan 2014We know a number of BMW owners who reside in the Munich brand's core demographic - upper-five- and six-figure professionals who like to keep their automotive brand credentials as highly respected among their peers as their alma maters or the letters after their names. Before heading to Las Vegas to drive the new M235i, we asked four of those owners, "What did you think of the E30 3 Series?" Although phrased differently, every one of them had the same answer: "What's that?"
You can counter that we just happened to query a tiny and ignorant sample size, and it's possible that you're right. Nevertheless, in every case,we were speaking to BMW's core demographic, the increasing legion of buyers who have fostered another year of record growth and are responsible for BMW retaining its global luxury title for nine straight years. Question that, and we'll refer you to BMW's marketing department, its several hundred PowerPoint slides and several thousand pages of research that prove the point.
That second-generation E30 3 Series built a name, a brand and an entire segment by defining BMW-ness as superlative driving dynamics meets luxury - shortened to the phrase, "The Ultimate Driving Machine." Thirty years later, just being a part of BMW-ness and luxury is enough for the majority of buyers. The superlative handling, that's optional, and 150 hairy guys meet every Tuesday to keep the old religion going, light torches, sing dirges to the siren long gone and bang on their keyboards about the apostasies of modern buyers.
World Car of the Year finalists announced
Fri, 07 Mar 2014To say the 2014 Geneva Motor Show was packed full of news is an understatement as big as the show's home at the Palexpo convention center. Despite everything that we were able to cover during this year's show, there's still more coming out of Switzerland, including the announcement of the finalists for the 2014 World Car of the Year Awards.
We reported on the original list of finalists over three weeks ago, and now, that initial list has been pared down to three finalists for each of the five awards. The finalists were announced at a press conference by frequent Autoblog contributor and co-chair of the awards, Matt Davis (above).
The finalists for the overall title of 2014 World Car of the Year are the Audi A3, the BMW 4 Series and the Mazda3. The World Luxury Car of the Year will be either the Bentley Flying Spur, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, while the Performance Car of the Year will be awarded to the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, the Ferrari 458 Speciale or the Porsche 911 GT3 (which, um, yeah...).
Ruby celebrates 90 years of BMW Motorrad with special helmet collection
Fri, 25 Oct 2013BMW isn't the only one celebrating its own 90th anniversary building motorbikes. So is Atelier Ruby, that French manufacturer of jewel-like motorcycle helmets.
Ruby has just released a capsule collection of helmets marking BMW Motorrad's 90th anniversary, and we want them almost as much as a Bimmer bike itself. The Munich 90 collection includes three new designs available in three helmet styles, including the signature blue and red stripes on a white background worn by BMWs of two wheels or four on the racing circuit.
Of course, these helmets, being made by Ruby as they are, won't come cheap, with jaw-dropping prices ranging from $980 to $1,450. Of course there are more cost-effective ways to protect your noggin, but few more stylish.
