Offered for a highly appreciating new owner is VERY SPECIAL ONE-OF-A KIND CUSTOM 1989 BMW M3 CABRIOLET! This spectacular E30-chassis M3 convertible began its life as a more pedestrian M20 powered 325ic when it began its transformation in the summer of 2008. Meticulous? Fussy? I think "obsessive-compulsive" is the more accurate term to convey the blood sweat and tears that I have poured into the creation of this exquisite classic driving machine! While it would be too painful to calculate every dollar spent in the process of this creation, it is safe to say that I have over $50,000 invested to date! No expense was spared in making this car correct in every way! The working six-digit odometer currently shows just over 95,000 miles. The vin of this 1989 BMW is: WBABB1306K8275006 which will be sold with clean and clear California title and is 100% California smog legal (certified by the state referee after engine swap) here in this state of ultra stringent smog requirements.
As I hope is so far conveyed in the words here, this car was created to be the very best of the best! At
THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This is one fast, tight and special driving machine! The acceleration is superb from the smooth and free-revving S50 six cylinder engine with mellifluous ehaust note, the handling is sublime rivaling anything from BMW's selection of 2013 offerings, the suspension is a perfect balanced being both firm and supple, the braking is strong and straight with excellent pedal feel. Overall this is one VERY fun and satisfying BMW to motor topless on the open road adding an exclamation point to the phrase "ultimate driving machine!

Want more? Head over to the 2013 PCotY hub. But before you do that, take a stab at guessing the winner of PCotY (we'll give you one hint: it isn't a Porsche).
Why BMW doesn't plan to integrate Apple's iOS in the Car
Wed, 12 Jun 2013While watching Apple introduce iOS in the Car during its WWDC keynote on Monday, we wondered how automakers, even the 14 who've already signed up to integrate this new in-car functionality of iOS 7, will feel about having the Cupertino company's mobile operating system supplant their own in-car systems. After all, some OEMs like Ford, General Motors and many luxury automakers have sunk millions of dollars into developing their own advanced infotainment, navigation and communication platforms like MyFord Touch, CUE and older systems like iDrive.
One automaker has now spoken up. A BMW spokeperson was interviewed by someone in the news department of British auto dealer group Arnold Clark and confirmed that the company would not be getting in line to integrate iOS in the Car anytime soon. The reason, as we suspected, is that BMW believes its own products developed over the last decade are both plenty good and already so deeply integrated with other systems of the car that, as told to Arnold Clark, "it would not be that straightforward to start changing all of the architecture of a car as has been implied [by Apple]."
While BMW isn't interested in spending more money to integrate Apple's services and functionality over its own, it has spent a good bit already to integrate iPhone functionality in its cars, including the relatively rare ability to support iPod Out and display Apple's own interface on Mini models with the optional Mini Connected feature, as well as committing to integrate Siri 'Eyes Free' functionality.
Alpina D3 may be coming to Frankfurt with 350 hp, AWD
Wed, 14 Aug 2013Rumors are swirling that Alpina, the tuning house that specializes in all things BMW, will followup its Geneva debut of the B3 Bi-Turbo with an oil-burning variant slated for debut at September's Frankfurt Motor Show. The news comes from Auto Zeitung, which reports that the second-generation D3 will be based off the Europe-only 335d.
This is a departure from the last D3, which had the four-cylinder turbo-diesel from the BMW 123d in a 3 Series body. The new model is expected to use a 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged inline-six, which will generate 350 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. That should scoot it to 62 miles per hour in under five seconds (likely while towing a tree stump). Both rear- and all-wheel drive should be available on the D3, and we imagine the thrill of this much power channeled through just the two rear wheels to be akin to skydiving sans parachute.
For our European friends that want an Alpina D3, but don't need more torque than any American full-size pickup, there may be plans to offer a four-cylinder variant that still delivers Alpina performance without a compromise in economy. We'll have more on the Alpina D3 when it debuts at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show.
