1995 Cosmos Black E36 Obdi(s50) Bmw M3 Base Coupe 2-door 3.0l on 2040-cars
Dupont, Washington, United States

Hello fellow enthusiasts/E-bay surfers, I'm
putting my prized OBDI E36 M3 up for sale for the sole reason that I am
moving to Germany in 3 months and I cannot take it with me. That is
also the reason I am asking for such a low price, because I don't have
much time haggle prices. Shoot me an offer! Runs and drives like a dream, and the exterior is in amazing condition, especially for it's age! Just a few minor chips and scratches. Nothing major, all from age and previous owners. No missing parts. Surprisingly well kept leather interior all around. The driver seat is pretty much the only seat that shows age wear and it's not by much. The last owner ran a garage, so he had everything he needed to take really great care of it. I am the third owner and I have put just as much pride into the M3 as the previous ones. For most of the time I've owned it, it has been stored in the
garage when not driven. It was at 218,XXX miles when I bought it. It is currently at 233,107 miles and well maintained and kept.
Obviously being almost 2 decades old took it's naturally expected toll
on a handful of the OEM parts and workings, so I did a few good system
overhauls and part replacement/upgrades! If anyone has any questions on
what OEM/aftermarket work and tuning has been performed please feel free
to ask. That being said I'll get into the pros and cons lists of my
baby. PROS: -New rear tires: 235/40ZR-17 Sumitomo HTR Z II (500 miles) (Super Grabby!) -UUC steel clutch line (3,XXX miles) -UUC delrin clutch pedal bushings (3,XXX miles) -Cross-drilled rotors (19, XXX miles) -Bilstein shocks from TMS (19,XXX miles) -New slave AND master clutch cylinders (3,XXX miles) -Radiator (5,XXX miles) -Water pump (5,XXX miles) -Alternator (5,XXX miles) -Fan Delete "Mod" (800 miles) -Low temp thermostat (800 miles) -Both belts and all pulley wheels (800 miles) -Euro Air Box w/ snorkel -Euro 3.5" MAF (10,XXX miles) -TMS engine chip (500 miles) -SSI Stealth Undershield -Euro clear corner lights, tail lights, and side markers -Stealth Auto's chromed light bulbs in all turn signals -Self made clutch stop -Euro Samco intake boot (500 miles) -New OEM hood shocks -Brand new OEM fog lights (glass) -Newer style BMW Badges (painted) for both hood AND trunk (no more pesky sticker emblems that chip away) -Recently replaced headlight control switch -Freshly painted valve cover (Flat Black/High Temp) -Heated/ Fully Automatic Seats -Automatic Sunroof -OEM Wood Interior Trim -Original BMW multi-disc CD changer w/ spare disc cartridges -All interior lights recently replaced, including odometer, radio, A/C controls, and OBD -I just removed all the old faded tint from probably 1995, so the windows are fresh and clear -A LOT of extra goodies come with it. -OEM Spare M-Contour Rim (no tire/never used) -Euro 3.5" Comforti C/F Intake -US Air Box -US MAF -Extra ///M badge -OEM Engine Fan -US intake boot(x2) -All original Manuals, window sticker, and leather bound BMW binder for all your paperwork CONS(not many): -Paint: just a few minor chips/scratches, nothing major -Driver seat release cable is broken at the very end, so it doesn't manually release forward. It has been this way since before i owned it. It's an easy fix, but I haven't had any need to get around to it. -JUST recently the passenger side window motor has decided to work when it wants to. The window only gets stuck up, not down. Super annoying, but all it needs is a new passenger window motor and it'll be fine. As far as shipping goes, buyer are responsible for pick up/transportation. If buyer is within a 150 mile radius, I am willing to arrange a meeting/drop-off. I can work with pretty much any mode of payment. Cash in hand is ALWAYS preferred though. |

Bangle urges auto design shakeup, says industry not innovating
Fri, 30 Aug 2013Controversial designer Chris Bangle, the man behind the notorious E65 BMW 7-Series "Bangle Butt," has some rather sharp criticism for the current crop of automotive designers in an upcoming full-length interview with Automotive News Europe. The preview, posted on Automotive News, details parts of the interview, with the always vocal Bangle lamenting the state of modern automotive design.
"Even concept cars today simply anticipate the next production model coming down the line. Is this innovation? No. And at the end of the day this is what's preventing car design from moving into a new era." Controversial as Bangle's design philosophy may be, we can't help but think he has a point. His so-called "flame surfacing" at BMW and other stylistic elements had a huge influence on modern automotive design, although as the years have passed, there hasn't been much innovation on the same scale.
Interestingly, Bangle also mentions that he's been courted by a few manufacturers that wanted to install the American as the head of their design teams. He's flatly rejected them, telling ANE, "It's not something you can do part time, you have to do it with all your heart and soul or you're going to get it wrong."
BMW 1 Series dead for 2014
Fri, 18 Oct 2013BMW is temporarily abandoning the increasingly competitive and popular compact luxury segment, as it's announced that its 1 Series Coupe and Convertible will be discontinued for the 2014 model year, marking an ignominious end to a line that spawned a pair of excellent high-performance models during its life. Production on the Coupe officially ended in August, while convertible production was taken offline in June.
And while we're mourning the loss of the 1 Series, we're left wondering about the status of its replacement, the 2 Series. That car, which we've already seen inside and out and know the specs on, is expected to make its debut at the 2014 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, although it's unclear just how quickly BMW will get it to showrooms. Assuming BMW doesn't have a bumper crop of already-built 2013 models to hold them over, that leaves Munich-based manufacturer somewhat vulnerable, particularly as Audi and Mercedes-Benz are both launching new models in the compact-premium space vacated by the 1 Series. Any delay in the arrival of the 2 Series could be bad news for BMW, especially if the public is receptive to the new Audi A3 and CLA-Class (early signs suggest that the baby Benz has traction).
In addition, BMW has made a number of changes across the rest of its lineup which are listed below in the official press release. Some of the notable changes, though, include a revised 445-horsepower twin-turbocharged V8 on the 5 Series, a limited-edition Frozen Brilliant White Edition for the 6 Series and the rollout of a new, touchpad-equipped version of iDrive on a number of BMW models. Scroll down for the full press release from BMW.
BMW offers xDrive on 2015 2 Series
Fri, 06 Jun 2014BMW has released its mile-long list of model changes for 2015. It's mostly comprised of tiny tweaks to options packages, pricing or trim colors, but there are a few interesting new features in there too. One thing all buyers will notice is that as of July 1, the company's destination charge increases by $25, to $950 for all of its models.
The 2 Series gets two really useful upgrades for 2015. We already knew that BMW's xDrive all-wheel drive system would be offered on the M235i this summer. However, it won't be the only 2 capable of spinning all four wheels. The 228i model will also be available with the system for $34,850 (after destination), $1,800 more than the standard model.
The other big addition brings a sportier ride to the 228i (with or without xDrive) for those who don't want to spring for the M235i. BMW is adding a Track Handling Package (pictured above) that lowers the suspension 10mm and includes the Adaptive M Suspension, Variable Sport Steering, M Sport Brakes and 18-inch wheels with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. It's available on manual or automatic models at $1,600 for cars ordered with the M Sport or Sport Line trims or $2,200 without it.
