97 Bmw E36 M3 Rebuildable No Reserve on 2040-cars
Lebanon, Pennsylvania, United States
|
1997 BMW M3 Automatic Sedan The car was in very good condition before the accident. Everything worked and maintenance was always kept up on. Interior is in very good condition. This was one of the nicer M3's out there, it was not beat. Which is why I believe it should be brought back to life. I just don't have the time to do it. I need it out of the way. So you get a deal. I valued the car at $7000 pre accident. So if you feel you can fix it for under that, you will be making out. The car hit a wall at under 30mpg, I don't know the speed, I was not driving. Most of the impact occurred on the passenger side. That is where you will have to have the strut tower area straightened out. You will also need a new passenger front quarter panel. Passenger door needs edge straighten or replaced. Windshield needs to be replaced. Dash and steering wheel need to be replaced. Needs new hood. Everything from the front of the engine forward needs to be replaced. Driver qtr panel is salvageable or you can replace. Engine starts and runs. There is no coolant left in it, so I never kept it running. Just enough to pull it out of the garage for pictures. It doesn't look like there is any damage to any major mechanicals. Mainly the radiators, fans, and stuff up front. The engine was not pushed on hard. The expansion tank is pushed up to it, but the plastic tank would have broken if it was really pushed against the engine. The engine fan is hitting stuff, so it does make noise when running. I quick started to look at prices and I think if you do the work yourself you can make out here. Most all of the parts are standard E36 parts and there are a lot of them out there. You can get the steering wheel for $50. The dash for $100. The windshield installed for $200. The car has some UPGRADES!!!!! It has a DINAN performance chip! It is cali-legal too. It has a K&N cold air intake. It is the VANOS rattle fix. It was always well maintained. Mobile 1 every 3000 miles. I had a dealer replace the trans fluid when I bought it $500 job. Various suspension components have been replaced. Front brakes are new, slotted and cross drilled. Front wheel bearings are fairly new. New air pump control value and air pump. This is your opportunity to get into a nice M3 on the cheap. Or your opportunity to make some money. I don't want offers. I don't want questions. I don't want to show the car. I just don't have the time. If I had time, I would fix it up myself. Just bid and when you come to pick it up, if you aren't happy, we can cancel the auction. Auction is no reserve, so you will get the car. Clean title in hand. |

2011 BMW 1 Series M Coupe now more expensive than when new
Sun, 06 Apr 2014At the end of the day, your friendly Autoblog editors are car guys, just like you. So, while we might have more of an opportunity to test some of the most interesting vehicles on the new car scene than does your average gear head, we can still be found whiling away those long afternoon hours looking at used cars and thinking about what could be.
Just the other day, we had a vivid reminder about one of our dream cars from the very recent past, the 2011 BMW 1 Series M Coupe. If you didn't catch it, Michael Harley had a great time testing and reviewing the new Dinan S3-R version of the car, which throws an impressively engineered turbo and suspension tune on a BMW that was damn near perfect out of the box.
In the Comments section of that review, a few savvy Autoblog readers pointed out that our estimated price for a used donor car, set at $50,000, was low. Odd, we thought, as the car retailed for less than $50k ($46,135) when it was new in 2011. So we started checking around.
Corvette gets slidey with Britain's best performance cars
Sat, 18 Oct 2014Autocar wants to find Britain's best driver's car, and it's challenging a murderers' row of some of the world's best performance vehicles to find out, including the latest Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. All of them were therefore assembled at the Castle Combe Circuit to find a winner.
If it wants to take the crown from this pack of mostly European competitors, the 'Vette has to beat some steep competition. Its challengers include monsters like the Ferrari 458 Speciale, Ariel Atom 3.5R and Jaguar F-Type Coupe. As a further hurdle for the winner to clear, Autocar also has last year's champ among the fighters - the Porsche 911 GT3.
Even if you're not at all interested in the C7, there's still something here for practically any fan of fast cars. The competitors include relative oddities among the pack like the Renault Mégane RS Trophy and Alfa Romeo 4C. Plus, Autocar has some well-positioned microphones that let you hear the Atom wailing like a banshee and the roar of the 458 Speciale. Check out the video to see which one of these all-stars takes home the award this year.
BMW working on 2 Series Active Hybrid Tourer
Wed, 14 May 2014The cover may have officially been pulled off the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer at the Geneva Motor Show, but BMW has apparently continued working on other variants behind closed doors. While at first glance this prototype looks like any other Active Tourer, the "Hybrid Test Vehicle" stickers on the passenger door and rear bumper give it away as something a little different.
Details about the hybrid Active Tourer are somewhat sketchy at the moment, but BMW indicated its likely direction for the electrified hatchback in the earlier Concept Active Tourer. It used a hybridized 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine coupled with an electric motor with a total system output of 190 horsepower and 147 pound-feet of torque. The company claimed that it had a roughly 19-mile electric range and could hit 62 miles per hour in under 8 seconds. However, the Bavarian automaker hasn't said yet whether this powertrain would be used in the production version.
The internal combustion 2 Series Active Tourer is rumored to come to the US in 2015. Given the nearly complete look of the test car, the hybrid might not be too far behind.
