 Very Rare 1995 E36 BMW M3 - ENGINE has only 78,000 miles on it, Avus Blue, Lt Gray Leather Interior w/ Vader Front Seats VIN- WBSBF9327SEH00883

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).


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.

Ken Block and friends race light in silly-beautiful Castrol commercial

Wed, 28 May 2014

How does one make fast, loud, drifting cars better? Well, you can add more fast, loud, drifting cars or you can add lasers. Either or, really. In this case, Castrol did the right thing and added both, creating a highly stylized commercial for its Edge Titanium motor oil starring South African racer Adrian Zaugg, BMW factory driver Augusto Farfus, Audi DTM and Le Mans staple Mike Rockenfeller and some bloke named Ken Block.
Their cars? No surprise, but Block is in his Ford Fiesta GRC, while Zaugg samples a Lamborghini Aventador and Farfus and Rockenfeller drive along party lines, with a BMW M4 and an Audi R8, respectively. And those cars look good, too, thanks to the creative light and laser work on display.
Take a look below for the video from Castrol.

What would you drive in 1985?

Wed, May 6 2020

Bereft of live baseball games to watch, I've turned to the good ship YouTube to watch classic games. While watching the 1985 American League Championship Series last night, several of the broadcast's commercials made its way into the original VHS recording, including those for cars. "Only 8.8% financing on a 1985 Ford Tempo!" What a deal! That got me thinking: what would I drive in 1985?  It sure wouldn't be a Tempo. Or an IROC-Z, for that matter, despite what my Photoshopped 1980s self would indicate in the picture above. I posed this question to my fellow Autobloggists. Only one could actually drive back then, I was only 2 and a few editors weren't even close to being born. Here are our choices, which were simply made with the edict of "Come on, man, be realistic."  West Coast Editor James Riswick: OK, I started this, I'll go first. I like coupes today, so I'm pretty sure I'd drive one back then. I definitely don't see myself driving some badge-engineered GM thing from 1985, and although a Honda Prelude has a certain appeal, I must admit that something European would likely be in order. A BMW maybe? No, I'm too much a contrarian for that. The answer is therefore a 1985 Saab 900 Turbo 3-Door, which is not only a coupe but a hatchback, too. If I could scrounge up enough Reagan-era bucks for the ultra-cool SPG model, that would be rad. The 900 Turbo pictured, which was for auction on Bring a Trailer a few years ago, came with plum-colored Bokhara Red, and you're damn sure I would've had me one of those. Nevermind 1985, I'd probably drive this thing today.   Associate Editor Byron Hurd: I'm going to go with the 1985.5 Ford Mustang SVO, AKA the turbocharged Fox Body that everybody remembers but nobody drives. The mid-year update to the SVO bumped the power up from 175 ponies (yeah, yeah) to 205, making it almost as powerful (on paper, anyway) as the V8-powered GT models offered in the same time frame. I chose this particular car because it's a bit of a time capsule and, simultaneously, a reminder that all things are cyclical. Here we are, 35 years later, and 2.3-liter turbocharged Mustangs are a thing again. Who would have guessed?

BMW denies collaborating on Apple Car

Mon, Mar 9 2015

BMW and Apple already have a few possible partnerships coming in the future. For example, the Bavarian brand is likely using CarPlay at some point, and there may be an Apple Watch app for the i3 and i8 eventually, too. However, there is absolutely no plan for the German company to collaborate on the oft-rumored Apple car, the automaker says. The rumor of this shared development first cropped up in the German magazine Auto Motor und Sport, according to Reuters. The report claimed that the Apple cars could be sold from Apple Stores but serviced at BMW dealers. "We are in regular talks with companies from the IT and telecommunications sector, including Apple, concerning topics like connected vehicles. Developing or building a car is not a topic of these discussions," said a BMW spokesperson responding to the allegations to Reuters. The Apple car has been a scorching hot topic as of late. The tech giant reportedly has assigned around 200 people to the project, including former employees from Tesla and A123 Systems. The EV model could be ready as soon as 2020, according to some stories. This latest collaboration rumor seems especially dubious when you consider BMW's investments to develop the i3 and i8, though. With more models possibly on the way, it doesn't seem to make much sense to take on a development partner so late in the game. Last year, there were similar stories about a deal between the automaker and Tesla, which were also dismissed.
