 Very Rare 1995 E36 BMW M3 - ENGINE has only 78,000 miles on it, Avus Blue, Lt Gray Leather Interior w/ Vader Front Seats

Clean Title, Heavily Modified and Finely Tuned.  I have the CARFAX also.  To answer the first question on everyone's mind, I am posting this because it is becoming impractical for me and my family to have it.  My family is growing, I need a four door vehicle or a house with more garage space.  Since the later is less realistic for me, the car can be replaced for something the whole family can use.  This car has been a joy to build and use.  I've owned it for about 6 years and have clocked less than 6,000 miles per year on it.  It has been babied.  Any little tick or sound has been remedied and fixed about the moment I notice it.  I have documents and receipts totalling over $27,000 in repairs and modifications not including what I paid to buy the car.  I'm sure there are several hundreds of dollars more I don't have receipts for repairs and modifications.  Repairs were to replace worn out parts, like the alternator and water pump, and modifications are a plenty.  I bought this car from my best friend who needed the money at the time.  Besides the engine swap, I did the rest of the modifications. 
The only thing that is left original on this car, basically, is the drivetrain and disc brakes. 

Here is a list of the changes made to this car from stock:

There are most likely parts i've missed listing, but the major stuff is there.  I have tons of extra parts too.  The A/C blows cold and everything works.  I have a sub-box and amp in the trunk too.  The little computer in the center console had some pixels not working so I just unplugged it.  From what you could read, it worked just fine, it just annoyed me.  There are some paint blemishes on the front from regular driving on the crappy Utah roads, tiny rocks and stuff are unforgiving.  There is also a crack in the LF headlight casing and bumper cover in the center area.  There are minor scratches here and there, but barely noticable.  I tried taking pictures of them, but they just don't show up well enough, that is how minor they are. 

This baby dynoed at 302 rear wheel horsepower at 6 psi of boost.  I'm sure if you drove it down to sea level it would dyno around 375 rear wheel horsepower and be pushing around 9 psi.  I have a group of friends with a similar setup on their M3's and they are at sea level and that is what their power and boost levels are at.  She is a sleeper for sure.  I pass the emissions tailpipe sniffer and inpection every year with flying colors.  This car is fully street legal and safe with a CLEAN title.  I drove it to work and back for the last 6 years which is why you will only see about 5-6,000 miles per year on it.  My bride hates driving the clutch and we hate packing the family in the smallness of it when we take it out.  Like I said before, it is impractical for me and my family. 

I am looking for the right buyer.  I have it listed locally (and reserve the right to end the listing early) and have many offers from my BMW CCA.  Since I am not desperate to sell, we (our group including the people offering) decided to have some fun with it.  We wanted to see how high an offer I can get for it in a 21 day period which is why it is posted here.  We high-balled the buy-it-now just so we can give some breathing room for the offers. 
To help give you an idea of what we are looking at and what offer you might want to make, the lowest offer I have is 10,000 and that is locally and cash.  It will sell for at least that.  


The car is genuinely for sale and I am not up a creek if it doesn't sell so, p
lease, no low ball offers and if you come to see it, no joy rides.  I respectfully ask for serious interest only.  Obviously nobody can buy this car with a conventional auto loan, you'll need more than that.  Thank you for reading this far.  Please email me with ANY questions before you bid or offer.  I will be happy to talk over the phone too, just email me if you're interested.  The car is sold AS-IS with no warranty expressed or implied.  I'll only accept cash or a cashiers check from a reputable bank or credit union.  Once payment has cleared I will give up possession of the car.

Automotive April Fools' joke roundup [w/videos]

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Happy April, everyone. And we all know what this first day of the month means: April Fools' Day. Today is a national holiday for pranksters with the Internet acting as a serious enabler, and it's always fun to see what kind of vivid imaginations exist out there in the automotive world. The abundance of fake news gets a little old as the day rolls on, but we did manage to get in a few chuckles thanks to a handful of major automakers and automotive news outlets that got into the pranking spirit this year
Some of our favorites this year includes Subaru showing what happens when you combine a bunch of rumors, a Corvette some may have already thought was a joke or Honda providing some in-car innovation circa the late 1980s. Honestly, we're still waiting for official confirmation from Mitsubishi that the recently introduced 2014 Mirage is an elaborate April Fools' joke using a failed design intended for the 1995 Geo Metro. We dug up as much "official" OEM foolishness we could find, as well as some of our other favorites, and posted them all below.

BMW unleases new M4 as MotoGP safety car

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

BMW has some considerable racing prowess to crow about, and draws on those credentials to create models like the new M4. But it's not about to rest on the laurels it's won at the end of innumerable races past and present. Mere months after the release of its latest performance coupe, BMW has already revealed a new M4 touring car for the DTM series, and has now unveiled its new M4 safety car for the MotoGP motorcycle championship.
Revealed on the BMW M Facebook page and set to debut at the front of the grid at the season opener in Qatar a couple weeks from now, the new M4 safety car is just the latest in a long string of official vehicles it has provided to the MotoGP series. Previous examples have included everything from the 1M Coupe to the M6 and the X6 M.
Like its predecessors, the M4 safety car features emergency lighting, special equipment and of course BMW's trademark white livery with red, navy and light blue stripes that, in this arrangement, give the new Williams Martini Racing livery a run for its money. Logos promote the BMW M Performance Parts you can buy to bring your own Bimmer up to spec, which on this car isn't likely have changed much from stock.

VW, Rivian, Nissan, BMW, Genesis, Audi and Volvo lose EV tax credits starting tomorrow

Mon, Apr 17 2023

The U.S. Treasury said Monday that Volkswagen, BMW, Nissan, Rivian, Hyundai and Volvo electric vehicles will lose access to a $7,500 tax credit under new battery sourcing rules. The Treasury said the new requirements effective Tuesday will also cut by half credits for the Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Rear Wheel Drive to $3,750 but other Tesla models will retain the full $7,500 credit. Vehicles losing credits Tuesday are the BMW 330e, BMW X5 xDrive45e, Genesis Electrified GV70, Nissan Leaf , Rivian R1S and R1T, Volkswagen ID.4 as well as the plug-in hybrid electric Audi Q5 TFSI e Quattro and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) electric Volvo S60. The Swedish carmaker is 82%-owned by China’s Zhejiang Geely Holding Group. The rules are aimed at weaning the United States off dependence on China for EV battery supply chains and are part of President Joe Biden's effort to make 50% of U.S. new vehicle sales by 2030 EVs or PHEVs. Hyundai said in a statement it was committed to its long-range EV plans and that it "will utilize key provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act to accelerate the transition to electrification." Rivian declined to comment and the other automakers could not immediately be reached for comment. Treasury also disclosed General Motors electric Chevrolet Bolt and Bolt EUV will qualify for the full $7,500 tax credit. GM said earlier it expected at least some of its EVS would qualify for the $7,500 tax credit under the new rules, including the 2023 Cadillac Lyriq and forthcoming Chevrolet Equinox EV SUV and Blazer EV SUV. Treasury said all GM EVs will qualify. Earlier, Ford Motor and Chrysler-parent Stellantis said most of their electric and PHEV models would see tax credits halved to $3,750 on April 18. Treasury confirmed the automakers' calculations. The rules were announced last month and mandated by Congress in August as part of the $430 billion Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The IRA requires 50% of the value of battery components be produced or assembled in North America to qualify for $3,750, and 40% of the value of critical minerals sourced from the United States or a free trade partner for a $3,750 credit. The law required vehicles to be assembled in North America to qualify for any tax credits, which in August eliminated nearly 70% of eligible models and on Jan. 1 new price caps and limits on buyers income took effect.
