1995 Bmw M3 Base Coupe 2-door 3.0l on 2040-cars
Vail, Arizona, United States

NO RESERVE. This car has been my project car since August of 2011. I like rebuilding cars. This car was in good mechanical condition, but was in sorry cosmetic shape, it is beautiful inside and out now. The list of work I have done fills many, many, posts on M3F. I know what I am doing, and I do it right, I have the means and I enjoy doing the work. The suspension has been completely rebuilt (finished March 2013) with all OEM rubber and every AKG reinforcement there is (RTABS, Rear Sway, Motor mounts). She rides on Koni SA and HR OE Sports. This is the BEST street suspension setup for the car. You can spend lots of money on coil overs but unless you are ready for near professional racing you probably can't do better. You will not have to spend a dime on the suspension for the next several years. The tires have less than 10K miles on them. The AC blows very cold. The only niggling problem is the dreaded seat belt sensor light from the SRS. I replaced the sensor with a brand new one and problem persists. The light goes out after a minute or so. I chased it down for a few hours and after reading around the M3 forums about people that have had this particular demon for years I let it go. I don't really believe 20 year old airbags are going to function properly anyway. (I work with explosives for a living and have good reason to question this) I have not had a CEL in the last 18 months. The engine runs great and the leak down numbers are all less than 3%. I was shocked at how low they were. The cooling system was completely rebuilt in 2011, including VSL Rad,Stewart Pump and all new hoses. The engine exhales through AA headers (not cheap e-bay knockoffs) Turner hi-flow cats and AA cat back exhaust. The valve cover has been powder coated. She has a Euro intake box with 3.5" MAF with Dinan tune. Headlights are glass euro bosch units. The biggest problem with the car is the odometer, it read 203K miles. I expect the car to go much further. I have committed to buying a Lotus Elise so my M3 has to go. |

Why BMWs are cheaper than Hyundais in Korea
Sat, 18 May 2013Bloomberg reports shifting tariff regulations have upended the traditional automotive pecking order in Korea. Thanks to cheaper import taxes, foreign brands have seen market share jump from 28 percent to 41 percent over the last two years. BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi have all capitalized on the shift, with domestics like Hyundai and Kia suffering at the hands of their German rivals.
Taxes on European imports have fallen from 8 percent in 2011 to just 3.2 percent today. Over the next few years, tariffs will all but be eliminated for most imports, and taxes on US-made vehicles are expected to fall to just 4 percent in 2014. By 2016, that number will be zero. Needless to say, Hyundai and Kia are concerned about the shift.
Hyundai has seen profit fall by 15 percent last quarter, and the company says it is on pace to see the slowest sales growth since 2007. The company's shares have fallen by 12 percent. In order to stem the losses, Hyundai has discounted its midsize sedans and started working on diesel engine options.
BMW makes X7 in Spartanburg official
Fri, 28 Mar 2014BMW has made it official - there will be a flagship crossover called X7, and it will be built right here in the US of A. The announcement was made today, confirming rumors of the new model at the Spartanburg, SC factory that broke earlier this week.
"Plant Spartanburg was built to enhance and expand the BMW lineup, underscoring the BMW Group commitment to the United States" said Dr. Norbert Reithofer, chairman of the BMW board of management in a statement. "In addition to the X3, X5, X6, and the new X4, we are today announcing another all-new, larger X model to be manufactured exclusively at this plant for our world markets: the X7."
BMW will spend $1 billion by 2016 upgrading its South Carolina factory, which already produces the X3, X5 and X6. The plant is currently capable of producing 300,000 units per year, but with the big investment from BMW, capacity will climb to 450,000 units. 800 jobs will be added as a result of the investment and new and upcoming models.
BMW 1 Series GT morphs into production-spec 225i Active Tourer
Mon, 16 Dec 2013Based on the effort - and money - BMW is spending to break off the coupes and convertibles in its lineup as even-numbered models (like the new 2 Series and 4 Series), we figured the production version of the 2012 Concept Active Tourer was a lock to wear the 1 Series GT name. These spy shots paint a different picture, however, as they show the car seemingly in full showroom-ready trim during a photo shoot, wearing the 225i name indicating that it will be in the 2 Series family.
While it's still very possible that this badging is the final bit of trickery for disguising the front-wheel-drive 1 Series GT, the hatchback itself appears to be the real deal. Aside from new fascias, a smaller grille and slightly different lights, the styling of this "225i" stayed pretty true to the Concept Active Tourer. Thanks to our long-lensed photographer, we also get a brief glimpse inside the hatchback, which reveals a two-tiered instrument panel layout including the free-standing navigation display that is similar to the concept car.
Regardless of what name this new model will wear, expect it to be unveiled at next year's Geneva Motor Show in March before arriving in the US sometime in 2015.
