Here is my 1990 (Build date 10/1989) BMW E30 M3 with 86,300 Miles (by sale date might be up to 87,000)
I am selling because I miss having a convertable and I am only allowed 1 toy car (and 2 motorcycles So expect to see my BMW K1200GT for sale soon too as I rarely ride that). Car is being sold AS IS WHERE IS. There will be NO TEST Drives until the auction is over. The winner gets to test drive after full purchase price deposit. If you change your mind at that point You get your money back if it is something I did not disclose or acurately describe. If you simply change your mind at that point but I did describe it acurately I only ask for a good faith $50 for relisting fee on E-Bay. If you damage it during the test drive, you bought it. But I am not a complete idiot and I do not expect someone to buy this blind so I have provided a Virtual Test drive video and a TON of pictures most taken on 4/11/2014 including the video test drive you can view it / Download at: Enjoy even though I am not Jearmy Clarkson or anywhere close. Also I am willing to take the car to Performance Automotive in Malvern PA (They are my mechanics and have done almost all of the work on the car so they are very familiar with it) if you pay for a pre-purchase inspection. But I will insist that they give me a copy that I can share online for others to view and I will need to be notified quickly as I do work and need to arrange time to get this done. First the most important feature THIS HAS A CUP HOLDER!!!!! This rare feature in these cars makes this particular one worth at least $10K More!!!! The Good Full Resolution TONS of photos including the underside from when I had the brakes and steering rack done available at as well as a Virtual Test Drive Video: All kidding asside The cup holder is not permanant and has soft foam on the clamp to not damage the interior, but I will include it for no additional charge. Extremely well documented service history over 100+ Pages of document service history Authentic BMW OEM Carbon Fiber Wing This thing is unobtanium and I have never seen one for sale see Photo and notice german writing and BMW logo (hard to see but it is there). Multiple CarFax reports over the years and original VIN Stickers in the right locations show no accident history at all EVERYTHING Works on the car except the passenger Mirror adjustment motor (Just discovered during my video test drive). Transmission overhaul and new clutch plate assembly done by previous owner at 78.5K Miles This is about as close to an EVO II M3 as you can get Fully adjustable Konis at all 4 corners VERY COLD AC Cruise Control, Power Locks, Sunroof, Roof liner all great. Excellent Paint 9.5 out of 10 New refurbished front seats, also a new refurbished rear seat is available for less than $400 Original Wheels (Yes all 5) and Original Cassette Deck included (not on or in the car). 17" BBS wheels in excellent shape Alpine stereo with USB/IPOD support (in glove box) New Cross Drilled Slotted Disc Rotors and Pads less than 2K Miles Tires in Great shape with readings of 8/32nds all around Also includes a Never Installed or opened Keyless Entry, I hate the idea of having to use a key to lock and unloc the car but before I installed it I decided to sell the car and figured someone may want it or they may want the car to remain as original as possible. WeatherTech Floor mats for the front and a set of 4 Bavarian autosport mats for front and rear. The Not so good I choose a soft Marine Grade Vinyl for the seats and not Leather, I think they feel great and look great and based on the seats for my wife's Mini they do not crack, you can get an exact matching rear seat for just under $500 from the same people that did my seats (no core needed and I have the color code in the documentation), or you could have them recover in leather, or you can switch back to the original seats as they are included as well and you can see them in the photos The Rear seat is old and just feels rough, It looks pretty good but it is completely original so time / Sun has taken its toll. Mentioned passenger Mirror motor (I just discovered it not working while creating the virtual test drive video). Front Bumper Paint probably did not have enough flex additive so there are some minor cracks and banding Small scrapes on front bumper lower spoiler (see photos) Small scrapes on 2-3 of the 5 original wheels Tires on the original wheels crap PA Inspection just went overdue (if a PA resident buys the car I can get the inspection completed before you take delivery, it will pass including emmissions no problems) If you are out of state I will ensure you have a completely full Tank in since an inspection costs about $50 in PA. In an attempt to remove dead mouse smell from HVAC I sprayed a misting of bleach in vents and it ran out and discolored the carpet in the Driver and passenger footwells Not the brightest move... I had the system taken apart and found the rodent bastards and had them removed and the entire system cleaned when I converted the AC to R134a and the carpet could easily be re-dyed with spray carpet paint. The History: This is an extremely well documented car and in excellent shape Documentation starts with its Inspection 1 from BMW of Hawaii and includes over 100+ Pages It is now located in Glenmoore PA and I bought it 2 years ago from www.classiccargallery.com You can see their original photos here: http://classiccargallery.com/details.php?id=534&g=2 FYI this is not some crazy modded time bomb this is a very mild state of tune but provides the extra Oomph you want. Turner Motorsport Performance Chip: Adding a TMS Performance Chip gives you the biggest bang for your buck! Jim Conforti tuned these chips on the dyno to boost mid range torque and increase horsepower in the upper RPM range. While not exactly producing V8-levels of torque you will definitely like the power increase across the rev band. The best thing is that there is NO downside to installing a Turner Performance Chip. urner Motorsport has been in the BMW chip business since 1995 and all chips have been dyno-tuned to achieve optimum performance and safety. As an added feature, the top speed limiter is removed. Premium 91+ octane fuel is required.
Here is the Previous Owners sales Description at S14.net Since buying the car I have done the following work in addition to regular maintenance: Replaced the subframe bushings Sent the original Low Ratio BMW M3 Specific Steering rack for a professional rebuild It is the Right steering rack for the car and does not leak anymore: Removed dead Mice from the HVAC Converted the AC to R134a and rechaged the system (Today was 70 and it was Blowing 39 Degrees F) See Photos 4 Wheel Alignment with new steering rack Fixed Cruise Control Fixed Power Locks I am willing to end the auction early for the right price and reserve the right to do so, Make damn sure it is the right price and a non refundable $500 deposit will be required before I end the listing canceling bids. For the right Price see: And compare to what I am selling here. Otherwise I take my chances with the auction Reserve is at least $9000 less than the lowest priced M3 there as of 4/11/2014 Also have your finances in order before even bidding, Payment is due within 8 Days of auction end and due to PA laws we cannot close the transaction on a Sunday if you want to go to an auto tag place to transfer title. I have the title in hand. On Apr-12-14 at 10:15:03 PDT, seller added the following information: Questions have been raised about potential smell: If it smells then I described it wrong
buyer has the right to terminate the sale and get all of their money back. After what I spent cleaning that
thing out my mechanic would hear from me on that one and knowing him he would
not charge to redo the job. But knowing him he did a really good job so it really does
not smell. Also verified by my wife who can not only smell but also hear a
mosquito fart from 30 feet. I personally have put more than $6000 into this car and they are part of the documentation between new brakes, brake lines, steering rack, subframe bushings, Air Conditioning Conversion, AC Compressor, Front Seats, and more. Clutch plate, Shifter Bushings, Bearings, Gear box Oil, Differential Oil both with Redline synthetic, a Synchro, and the miscellaneous gaskets, rubber mounts, etc. Do not forget about the cup holder!!! |

Best car infotainment systems of 2022
Wed, Jul 20 2022Declaring one infotainment system the best over any other is an inherently subjective matter. You can look at quantitative testing for things like input response time and various screen load times, but ask a room full of people that have tried them all what their favorite is, and you’re likely to get a lot of different responses. Some prefer systems that are exclusively touch-based with a simplistic user interface. Others may prefer a non-touch system that is navigable via a scroll wheel. You can compare it to the phone operating system wars. Just like some folks prefer Android phones over iPhones, we all have our own opinions for what makes up the best infotainment interface. All that said, our combined experience tells us that a number of infotainment systems are at least better than the rest. WeÂ’ve narrowed it down to five total systems in their own subcategories that stand out to us. Read on below to see our picks, and feel free to make your own arguments in the comments. Best overall: UConnect — Various Stellantis products If thereÂ’s one infotainment system that all of us agree is excellent, itÂ’s UConnect. Both UConnect 4 and the latest UConnect 5 software are included in this praise, too. It has numerous qualities that make it great, but above all else, UConnect is simple and straightforward to use. Ease of operation is one of the most (if not the single most) vital parts of any infotainment system interface. If youÂ’re expected to be able to tap away on a touchscreen while driving and still pay attention to the road, a complex infotainment system is going to remove your attention from the number one task at hand: driving. UConnect uses a simple interface that puts all of your key functions in a clearly-represented row on the bottom of the screen. Tap any of them, and it instantly pulls up that menu. We like the radio/media interface — itÂ’s super easy to swap stations or sources. The menu structure is easy to grasp, and of course both Apple CarPlay/Android Auto are available if you want them. UConnect 5 is a big visual improvement over UConnect 4, but thankfully it retains the same ease of use as the outgoing system. WeÂ’ll also point out that Stellantis is able to adapt UConnect to different screen shapes and sizes with great success — it works stunningly well in the vertical 12-inch screen of the Ram.
BMW expects China to pass US as its top market in 2013
Thu, 11 Jul 2013When you combine two billion citizens, 100 cities with more than a million inhabitants and an economy that's as unrestrained as Jim Cramer on an Adderall binge, China's explosive auto industry growth shouldn't be a huge surprise. Audi already lists the communist country as its largest market, while Mercedes-Benz is expecting it to be there in the next few years. Now, according to a report from Automotive News, BMW is expecting the People's Republic to overtake the United States in sales by the end of 2013.
We already discovered the extent that BMW is going to in establishing a dedicated Chinese stronghold, when we explored BMW's Shanghai-based DesignWorks studio ahead of April's Shanghai Motor Show. And while we argued that DesignWorks Shanghai hasn't really borne fruit, it isn't due to a lack of sales.
BMW China has seen a 16-percent jump in year-over-year sales, lead by a 28-percent gain in 5 Series sales. Part of BMW's growth strategy comes from an ever-expanding dealership network. Remember those 100 cities we mentioned with over one million people? According to Karsten Engel, CEO of BMW's Chinese operations, those 100-million-plus city dwellers don't have access to a premium dealership.
Recharge Wrap-up: BMW X5 PHEV debuting in Shanghai, Proterra sets up shop in CA
Thu, Apr 9 2015South Carolina-based Proterra has received funding to build electric buses in California. The California Energy Commission has awarded the company, which is headed by former Tesla executive Ryan Popple, a $3-million grant. Proterra will use the funds for a facility in the LA suburb the City of Industry, where its largest customer, Foothill Transit, also operates. Proterra has also opened an office in San Bruno, just south of San Francisco. Read more at SFGate or at ValueWalk. Despite its "urban mobility" design, the BMW i3 has become popular outside of large cities. Rather than singular urban centers, "The strongholds in this country are parts of California, Texas and southern Florida," said BMW North America CEO Ludwig Willisch. He also says the electric car hasn't been particularly successful in the Northeast, with cities like New York perhaps not being as mindful of sustainability as California. BMW is also nearing i3 sales of 12,000 a year, which Willisch calls "a sustainable rate." Read more at Automotive News. BMW will debut its X5 xDrive40e plug-in hybrid at the Shanghai Motor Show this month. It is the first PHEV from BMW's core brand (not from its i sub-brand). It uses a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and electric motor for a total of 313 horsepower, and a combined fuel economy of about 70 miles per gallon (according to the ECE test cycle). Press days for the Shanghai Motor Show are April 20-21. Read more in the press release below. BMW at Auto Shanghai 2015.
