Here is a chance to own a very rare 1988 Bmw M3. The BMW is all original with no modifications and with only 113,700 Miles. It's well-maintained and has service history back to 2004. All the services on the car was done thru ( Mike O'Hara's Service,Inc) in Portland Oregon. In 08/27/04 major service was done to the car spend over $4200 and recent service was done 9/5/13 total cost $795. The BMW now runs like is should run with no problems or overheating. In 2004 when the service was done they had removed the AC condenser and it never was installed back, I do have that compressor and all of the parts to install back. All of the electrical on the car is working, Sunroof, power windows ,heater and all of the lights are working. Inside of the car is pretty good condition for this year, Dashboard, door panels, front seats has No rips. There is few cracks on the leather seats nothing major. The backseat is in good shape it has only a small tear is very hard to noticed. The paint outside is in good condition, but is Not pristine. There is a few micro scratches and rock chips and couple small door dents. On the left quarter panel there is a scratch, I had put some touch-up paint( see the picture ).On the left quarter panel there is a bigger dent on the bottom and there is a three or four small rust under the paint I also took pictures.The wheels are original and tires are about 50% left on it. It comes with AM/FM CD player it's working. The car comes with Original Owners manual, tool kit, spare tire and jack. Just pass the DEQ and registration with no problems.

In April 3 1996 The BMW had a total loss claim on the insurance due to the theft recovery, No structural or frame damage reported. I do have that original form from the insurance that is saying: There was no structural damage to the vehicle. Damage to the vehicle consisted of: Right door lock punched, Ignition defeated, column defeated, Interior completely gutted, Damage to the dash and damage to right door to obtain access into Vehicle. This is the exact words it's saying on the progressive claim Form, also on the title it has salvage rebuild.

You are welcome to call my mechanic to ask about the car Mike 503-287-0739 or you can choose your own mechanic for the pre-purchase inspection, Please no pre-purchase inspection after Auction ends. Check the pictures before you bid or ask any questions that you will like to know, I will be happy to answer if I know them. I will not end the auction sooner so please don't ask me what is my reserve price, just place a bid on the car if you are a serious buyer.

Keep in the back of your mind this is a 25 years old car and I had described the car best of my knowledge.

NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors

Wed, 22 Oct 2014

Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.

BMW says current M3 sold out, no new AWD M models planned

Mon, 06 May 2013

Car and Driver asked the head of BMW M, Friedrich Nitschke, a few questions about what the go-fast division had in mind for the future, and was rewarded with some enlightening answers. The best news to purist ears is that Nitschke said customers don't want all-wheel drive on their M cars, so it's the rear wheels alone that will propel new product into the future. If you want both an M badge and four driven wheels, it's the X5 M, X6 M and M Performance models you're looking for in the catalog.
"Mixed bag" is the phrase you're looking for regarding the other answers. Nitschke said that future M engines "at the core of their architecture" would "be closer to BMW AG engines" that are optimized for M cars, instead of following in the line of unique marvels like the V10 and naturally aspirated V8. They will keep the high redlines, however, with Nitschke saying "there is room beyond" the 7,000 rpm mark in BMW's current V8 turbos.
Managing weight will keep the same priority for M that it is for every other brand, so electrically assisted power steering is coming, as is an "unconventional" materials mix. At the smaller end of the M scale, Nitschke described three-cylinder engines as "attractive," saying that the brand can produce more than 310 horsepower from a three-pot.

BMW offering Track Handling Package for 2 Series

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

After getting a chance to drive the BMW M235i earlier this year, we mentioned our regret at not being able to sample the lighter and less powerful 228i Coupe. We'd like to have seen how close the latter could get to the former, noting that "there's a lot of room for upgrades with the $11,000 retail difference." BMW is closing that performance gap slightly, announcing that a Track Handling Package will join the options sheet for the 2015 228i Coupe.
The group bolts on Variable Sport Steering, Adaptive M Suspension and M Sport Brakes behind new 18-inch lightweight wheels wearing Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. There's no change to the 240-horsepower four-cylinder, but a coupe so equipped should be able to do plenty more with the horses it has thanks to a faster steering rack, sharper handling due to additional sensors and a ten-millimeter drop in ride height, and larger brakes and discs.
BMW has used the New York Auto Show as a venue to introduce the new Track Handling Package, and it will roll onto showroom floors in July and pricing will be announced sometime between now and then. Takers can get it with both the six-speed manual and eight-speed Sport Automatic, see it in the high-res image gallery above, and read about it in the press release below.
