1988 BMW M3 E30 - with S50B30 US spec E36 M3 motor & 5 spd gearbox.

Ideal base to build a stripped out track car with cage & harnesses etc.. or restore to full interior original spec road car.

The car has been completely stripped of its interior to inspect panels, floors and condition of wiring & carpeting. Drivers seat, dash & steering wheel still in place, so the vehicle is still drivable & roadworthy, with seat belts & mirrors etc..

All Interior parts removed are included with the sale, however as you can see from the photos it is in poor condition and will need refurbished.

VIN: WBSAK0303J2196492

MILEAGE: Title shows 102,413 MILES - Odometer shows 101,388 miles.

The odometer appears to be original but has stopped counting, so title reflects estimated true vehicle miles covered. (only about 1000 miles since last change of ownership), car was stored for a long time during engine transplant.

The Good:

Straight E30 M3 shell & chassis stripped ready for track preparation or restoration.
Strong S50B30 M3 motor installed in standard tune with all ancillaries. Runs & drives well.
5 spd M3 transmission with quick shift kit installed, No issues.
H&R springs, factory dampers.
OEM E30 M3 brakes all round, good rotors & pads recently replaced.
5 OEM 15x7" BBS M3 basket weave wheels in great condition with good bridgestone tires
Xenon bulbs in Euro smiley headlights. left Main beam light replaced with ram air intake. (Spare lamp included).
Evo M3 DTM front lip spoiler
E36 M3 shorter ratio steering rack installed.
Oil changed, all fluids topped off.
A/C system disabled, all parts to reinstate are included.
Heater & all controls function properly with NO leaks.
Brand new battery
No rust in some of the typical E30 problem areas: (Front windshield lower scuttle panel has been replaced, rear license plate lights area is good, under carriage looks good, trunk floor looks OK, battery tray shelf area next to firewall under hood has been replaced with new metal.
Original BMW factory build sheet from 09/28/1987
Clean & Clear title in hand.

The Bad:

The car is originally white and has been painted within the last few years, Badly. It looks fine from 15 feet away, but is a very amateur job. My plan was to repair the problem areas, install a cage and give it a full windows out respray inside & out.
The doors & hood need lined up properly, areas of bad body filler repairs & rusty sunroof tray, which will need removed completely & either a new one installed or sunroof to be sealed closed.
Leaky power steering hose. I have one but not sure if its the correct hose that needs replaced. (The steering rack doesn't leak, boots are dry). It is still drivable since it only uses a few drops of fluid per drive.
Engine conversion was completed by the previous owner and while it has been installed correctly, it needs some wires to be routed better, the radiator & some accessories need to be fastened more securely also.
Oil temp gauge is not connected & the tachometer sits at 3000 rpm until it revs past that point.
Exhaust is pieced together in the center with flex pipe, which leaks as it is not sealed. It is also very loud due to only having a rear muffler.
The dash has 2 major cracks, I have a crack FREE dash included along with all the other interior parts that were removed from the car. (Note: the rear seat bench is not included as it was too damaged, the back rest upper part is included).

Please email for many more pics of under the car, stripped interior, & spare parts included.

I have tried to be as honest as possible in describing the condition of the car, however i will no doubt have missed some details, so i welcome local inspections prior to bidding. Please don't hesitate to email with any questions.

Thank you.

BMW brings burlesque, Warhol, M1 and 6 Series Grand Coupe to Paris Photo LA

Mon, 22 Apr 2013

BMW has worked with Paris Photo for ten years. This year, the photography exposition lands in Paramount Studios in Los Angeles for the first time, and BMW is not only coming with it, the Bavarians are bringing the Art Car that started it all: the 1979 M1 painted by Andy Warhol. For those attending the show, there will also be making-of video of Warhol working on the car - but if you remember the mini lecture that EVO magazine's Henry Catchpole gave on the Art Cars, you'll remember that Warhol finished the car so quickly that the cameraman barely had time to get the film rolling.
With that will also be a series of photos of the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe dropped into noir scenes accompanied by burlesque models, all taken by photographer Uwe Düttmann. It's the first time they'll be exhibited at Paris Photo. You can check out a few of them in the high-res gallery above, and there's a press release below with more info.

Next-generation BMW 5 Series spied in Touring trim

Wed, 10 Jul 2013

It almost seems as if BMW just started selling the current-generation 5 Series, yet one of our spy photographers has already spotted a next-generation prototype in Touring form. Little is known about the luxury wagon in this early stage of testing, but it is expected to weigh much less than the current car, which, in 528i Touring guise with an automatic transmission, tips the scale at over 3,800 pounds. It is also expected to have the latest in driver-assistance technology. Despite the weight savings, and judging from the photos, it looks to have proportions similar to the current car, but don't expect the makeshift headlight and taillight clusters to make it onto the production model.
The crucial question for potential Touring customers in the United States is whether BMW will do the unexpected and import it here. The company's track record indicates that it will be sold in Rest of World markets only, but we're hoping that the next 5 Series will end the Touring's U.S. hiatus (and the 5 Series Gran Turismo's reign), which began in 2003 at the end of the E39 generation.
