This car has been a fun and reliable commuter of mine for the past eight years, but unfortunately I must sell it for financial reasons. This car was produced in Germany in 1998, the last year that the E36 was made. As a result, this particular car has had a lot of the kinks and bugs that you'll find in other year E36's ironed out. This car also has the premium package with spoked aluminum alloy wheels, a grey leather interior, power everything, heated seats, remote entry, and a 6-CD changer.
Even better, practically everything still works! The engine and drivetrain are quiet, powerful, and smooth; the alignment is true; the steering is tight; the interior is in great condition; the AC is cold; the rubber and brakes are above 60%; and all the little Night Rider style electronics work just as they should. Now nothing is perfect, and unfortunately the sunroof is stuck shut (but still keeps rain out), there is a crack in the windshield, and there are a few minor dings in some panels, which are worst in the rear (from getting bumped at low speed in a parking lot). Pictures of windshield and rear provided for your own assessment. One important thing to note is that the cooling system for this car was completely replaced (by a BMW shop) four years ago, after a leak popped up. Without fail, the car has been working perfectly fine ever since, and has not had any cooling issues. That this happened to ME (and not you) is a huge plus for any potential buyer, as this is really the only major (and expensive) service job that E36's usually require. I've maintained this car diligently with synthetic oil and 89 octane fuel. It has had its BMW Inpsection II Service completed at 110k miles. This car has passed emissions every time since I bought it, with the exception of having to replace the gas-cap once when I moved to WA. Current registration good until August 2015. I have all the service records for your reference. I also have chains, a spare key and remote, and a Bentley service manual that I'm throwing in to sweeten the deal. Here's a video clip of the car starting up cold and revving to 4k and then 6k RPM: Readers Digest Version: Pros: Everything works (except sunroof) New engine cooling system (have service records) Completely stock through and through Alignment is true New disks (cross drilled) and pads (at 80%) Tires at 60% Regular synthetic oil changes Super clean interior Power Everything Includes chains, extra keys, service manual, service records Passes Emissions Cons: Sunroof stuck shut (still seals out rain) Crack in windshield Minor body damage in rear Message me if you are interested, have more questions, want more pictures, or want a full car fax report. Thanks for looking! On Sep-16-14 at 16:35:54 PDT, seller added the following information: VERY IMPORTANT SHIPPING/PAYMENT/SCHEDULE DETAILS - PLEASE READ... I just realized I will be out of town, camping, from September 18th-21st. As a result, I will be away from the internet and out of cell service during these days. If you want to buy this car, you must be OK with dealing with full payment and shipping details on Monday, Sept 22nd. Rest assured, if you win the auction, and send me the initial $500 deposit within 24 hours, you get dibs on the car, and its yours as soon as the full payment comes through. Check my eBay record, I am a trusted and reputable seller, and do not want to mess that up, so I just wanted to be clear that I will not be able to communicate with anyone between September 18th-21st. If you have any questions about the car, or payment details, please ask them now, as I will not be able to answer them on the day of auction closing (Thursday, Sept 18th). Thanks again for looking! -Kyle |

Is Audi getting complacent and suffering from brain drain?
Wed, 27 Nov 2013The argument is made in a Reuters article: Audi is falling behind other luxury brands, such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, due to a lack of research-and-development spending and "brain drain," or the migration of top executives and R&D chiefs to other parts of the Volkswagen Group. Reuters notes that Audi's current R&D chief is the third in 16 months.
Audi, which contributed to 40 percent of VW Group's $11.6 billion in profit the first nine months of the year, is delivering cars at a record pace: 1.31 million were delivered from January to October 2013 versus BMW's 1.35 million. Yet Audi, Reuters reports, doesn't have a halo car akin to BMW's new electrified i3 and i8 or an answer to Mercedes' plug-in-hybrid S-Class, and the R&D spending at Audi is less than BMW and Mercedes by a fair margin. It's noted in the article, however, that Audi benefits from other R&D spending within VW Group.
Reuters mentions that BMW "trumpets its new 'i' series" and the new Mercedes CLA and GLA ranges are winning "rave reviews" as part of its argument that Audi's recent lack of technological innovation could hurt future sales. Those cars do pack tons of new technology, some of which are firsts for mainstream production cars. But last time we checked, the i3 could be causing BMW's stock to slide, the CLA isn't receiving the rave reviews that Reuters would have you believe and the GLA hasn't been reviewed yet.
First Ride: 2015 BMW M3 and M4
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Getting Our Butts In The Seats
Both the non-M BMW 3 Series sedan and 4 Series coupe have so far brought much pleasure to us at Autoblog. The terrific four-cylinder 328i trim has become our favorite of the 3 Series line, while we have yet to get a chance at the 428i coupe. That said, the 35i trim powered by a 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo inline six-cylinder engine is not exactly to be sniffed at.
We all know the ones you're really waiting for, though. The F80 fifth-generation M3 sedan and the supremely sexy F82 M4 coupe. Rumors have been buzzing for a couple of years now that the engine would be another V8, only turbocharged this time, or else a tri-turbo six. Well, today BMW confirmed that the mill under the hood's power bulge is a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder TwinPower Turbo of the biturbo variety, referred to internally as "S55B30 variant."
2015 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe
Fri, 06 Jun 2014It's hard to say what a coupe is anymore. Is it merely a car with two doors? Does it have to have an arching roofline? Do frameless windows count for anything? Can a five-door hatchback or even an SUV be a coupe? At some point in the last few years, nearly everything we thought made a coupe a coupe has been challenged by something that calls itself a coupe, but to most people isn't. Our friends at BMW have led most of this line of questioning.
The new 2015 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe is one of the latest Bimmers to challenge the moniker (which also challenges the idea of "Gran," for that matter), and unlike some of its other "coupe" variations - we're looking at you, X6 - this one is a pretty one. The 4 Series Gran Coupe is essentially a four-door version of the 4 Series, which is itself a two-door version of the 3 Series. Huh? Wouldn't that simply make it another 3 Series? Of course, but this one is prettier, as it uses the 4's sexier body styling, with its lower nose, wider-looking stance and edgier lighting graphics. It is also technically a five-door hatchback, not a sedan per se, and it utilizes frameless side door glass, which apparently does count for something in BMW coupe-land. Significantly, the 4 Gran Coupe's wheelbase is identical to the two-door; if it was longer - as is the case with the 3 Series and 5 Series hatchbacks - that might make it a "Gran Turismo." Confused yet?
We recently got our first chance to drive the 4 Series Gran Coupe at a press launch in Spain, and while the only version we were given was a rear-drive 428i Gran Coupe with the M Sport contents, the harrowing roads around Bilbao gave us a good idea of what this car is all about from a driving dynamics standpoint. Here's some of what we found:
