The Quick Version:
1990 BMW M3 (E30)
Original Paint = BrilliantRot; Repainted HennaRot 1-year ago ($5000).
I've owned the car for the last 12-years
Original 2.3L S14 Engine
Original transmission (all gears shift smoothly!)
Recently had $5000 worth of engine maintenance done by certified BMW Mechanic
Setup with Ground Control Coil-Overs; Racing Dynamic Sway Bars and Strut Braces
Sparco Race Seats; Momo Race Wheel; UUC Short Shifter
4.10 Rear Diff
Lightened Flywheel + BMW "HD Clutch"
Resonator and Stainless exhaust
Rebuilt Dash Cluster; all gauges work!
Bolt-in Roll Bar / Half-Cage; Rear seat delete
All lights work; On-board Computer works; power windows & sunroof work
Discontinued SSR Wheels (17x7.5) with Toyo Rubber
Setup and maintained by certified BMW/Porsche mechanic for the last 10-years
Never Driven hard or raced, only taken out for the occasional "Track Day"
Always stored in a heated garage, always babied, never smoked in
NEVER in an accident / No body or frame repairs
This is a VERY clean example of a BMW E30 M3 with very minimal modifications; all of which were designed to improve
the driving experience. (reliability was ALWAYS the focus!)
This car would be a great candidate for a total restoration, OR as a dedicated track car.
Currently it's setup to be the best of both worlds as she corners COMPLETELY flat, yet is comfortable enough to
take my 70-year old mother for a drive.
The Long Version:
Ah- The E30 M3!
A car that you literally want to live in! Once you start driving you just want to keep going forever.
This particular car was setup to be reliable and drive as tight as possible while still being comfortable on
typical city roads.
Originally I had big plans to turn her into a replica, Group A BTCC track car, but had so many other projects
always going on that I never wanted to rip apart my beloved M3. As mentioned on Wikipedia & Top Gear (S03E02), this
is THE most successful road-going race car EVER!
Personally, I think it's a bit sad the current trend of meticulously restoring these cars and turning them into
museum pieces. The original S14 engine in this car needs to be heard at race tracks for generation after generation
so car enthusiasts never forget the sound of what many consider the best car ever built! The handling differences
between a stock M3 and one with a stiffer coil-over suspension / proper setup & damper adjustments is absolutely
NIGHT and DAY!
Suspension upgrades make this car handle completely flat through the turns while still being soft enough to take my
mom for rides. Remember: this is The Ultimate DRIVING Machine, not the Ultimate Original Condition Machine. Haha!
;-)
Completely clean chassis / CarFax / AutoCheck! No accidents or repairs! All maintenance was done with OEM parts by
the best BMW mechanic in WI. That includes:
- Main Seals,
- Main Bearings,
- Rebalanced Crankshaft
- New Rod Bearings, Cam Bearings
- New Slave Cylinder
- New Timing Chain, Timing Rail, and all other important bits.
Revs and runs like it's still 1989!!
Her name is Lily, but I'm sure she'd be OK with you renaming her ;-) I've had her for almost 15-years and it's been
an amazing journey, but now it's time to sell her and move onto the next chapter of life. It's important for me
that she goes to a good home; somebody who will drive her and baby her; not let her sit year after year.

BMW, Mini aim to sell million cars off new FWD platform

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

Mini sold 301,526 cars in 2012; BMW sold 1.54 million of its own models. According to a piece in Autocar, analysts say the coming UKL1 platform that will form the skeleton of the third-generation Mini Cooper and coming front-wheel drive BMW 1 Series could be responsible for "more than 900,000 cars per year" all by itself.
That sale fire is fueled by the UKL1 wearing up to twenty-three bodies in total between the two brands, 11 for Mini and 12 for BMW, rendering hatchbacks, sedans, coupes, convertibles, wagons, crossovers and people-haulers from about 12.5 feet to 14.5 feet. In April the VP of Mini USA said we might find some current models don't make it to a next generation, but a graphic accompanying the Autocar story has them all there. If it's correct, then those 23 models will only base model lines and don't account for different engines and four-wheel-drive options for each model.
The big changes that would perhaps mean big sales for the Mini line are a five-door hatch with two smaller rear doors for children, the sedan talked about last year for Asian markets and an MPV perhaps wearing the "Traveler" name that could send the Countryman in a more SUV-like direction.

Massive Airbag Recall Affects Seven Automakers

Mon, Jun 23 2014

The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a role in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time. BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall. Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the NHTSA found that moisture played a roll in determining if there would be a problem. Ford is recalling an estimated 58,669 cars that include the 2005-2006 model years of the Ford GT for the driver and passenger inflators, the 2007-2007 model years of the Mustang for the driver side and 2004 Ranger for the passenger side. It covers vehicles originally sold or currently registered in, wait for it... Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands. Honda is issuing three separate recalls regarding the problem. First, the company is recalling the 2002-2003 model years Civic, CR-V and Odyssey and the 2003 model year of the Accord, Element, Pilot and Acura MDX to replace the passenger's side inflator. This covers all models nationwide. Second, Honda is repairing the passenger's side airbag inflator in the 2003-2005 Accord, Civic, CR-V, Element, Pilot, the 2003-2004 model year versions of the Odyssey, the 2003-2005 model year Acura MDX and 2005 Acura RL. However, only for vehicles located in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. Owners will be notified in July. Finally, Honda is separately replacing some models' driver's side inflators.

Behind the scenes of BMW's 'Driftmob' [w/videos]

Tue, 26 Aug 2014



All this, for one minute and 47 seconds of action-packed footage with no official plot.
We arrive in Cape Town, South Africa, on the third and final practice day for the drivers of a BMWStories internet video called The Epic Driftmob feat. BMW M235i. We are immediately whisked to a large, empty parking lot on the outskirts of Cape Town, where tires are squealing and chunks of rubber are flying as five red BMW M235i coupes churn up more smoke than a California wildfire. And the smell - it smells like heated metal, the kind of thing rev limiters are made for. Times five.
