Amazing Service History

NO RESERVE!!

 

 

Being offered at NO RESERVE is the sports convertible you’ve been waiting for:  

1998 BMW M3 Convertible with only 74k miles, accident-free, an amazing service history and in the nicest, rarest color combination.

- Accident-free with great service history. Take a look at the free Carfax report provided at the end of this description. Carfax values this M3 at $1,990 ABOVE RETAIL value given its excellent history!!

- Please take your time. I've included OVER 100 high-definition pictures of the vehicle. It is a very large auction with the high-def pictures. Please allow enough time for all of the pictures to load.

- 3.2L inline-6 motor is legendary. This is the motor that set the standard in the late 90s. Straight 6, no forced induction, no turbocharger producing 245 horsepower. Not to mention this is one of the most reliable motors ever built. With only 74k miles, this M3 is going to last the next owner a very long time.

- E36 M3 body style is a true modern classic. The M sport bumpers, side skirts with the 10 double-spoke M rims is a truly unique look.

- Automatic transmission shifts perfectly through gears. With the optional Sport, Economy, and Manual transmission modes, the E36 M3 was truly ahead of its time; giving the driver complete freedom and control of the drive. Leave it in economy mode for better MPG, place it in sport mode for faster shifting and that extra M power, or go into manual mode and sequentially shift the gears yourself.

- Drop-top M3 convertible in Estoril Blue with white leather, HK audio, heated seats. The M3 is just a blast to drive and a real head turner. This is the ultimate sports car driver's dream.

- Estoril Blue on White Leather with Gray dash/trim is the nicest color combination, hands-down.

- Mechanically, the M3 is excellent; everything works great and the BMW really rides beautifully.

- Brakes, exhaust and suspension are all excellent.

- No engine warning lights or malfunctions of any kind.

- Heat blows hot and A/C is ice-cold!

- Cruise-control operates perfectly.

- Premium/Sport and Winter package with HEATED seats, dual power seats, heated power mirrors, M rims, keyless-entry.

- All power options function 100%.

- HK audio sounds great. There’s no better feeling driving this M3 down the highway with the top down, music blasting and engine revving.

- M wheels look great and really complete the look of the BMW. Wrapped in FOUR MATCHING TOYO tires.

- Estoril Blue Metallic exterior looks great and shines beautifully. There are 1-2 door dings, a dent on the front grille and a few light scratches on the trunk lid as you can see in the pictures. These are hardly noticeable and definitely do not detract from the overall beautiful appearance of the M3. We mention these to be as thorough as possible and provide as much information to all potential bidders.

- White LEATHER interior with gray trim is in excellent condition. Most of these E36 M3s have significant cracking in the leather, BUT NOT THIS ONE.  No tears or rips in the seats or carpets. The leather is absolutely gorgeous. The driver seat shows almost no wear; no side-bolster wear, no significant wrinkles. Dash/trim shine beautifully. Carpets look great with no stains or tears.

- Rear Seat looks barely used.

- POWER DROP-TOP convertible with the push of a button works 100%. No hesitations or stalling. 3 pin-size holes in the back left of the top as you can see in the pictures, nothing major.

- If you're looking at this auction, you know how hard these M3s are to find in this kind of well-kept condition. 

- All original owners' manuals, full spare tire in the trunk!! Alarm system with key-less remote, valet key and extra master key. This is one of the nicest, well-kept, all-original E36 M3s out there and THE ONLY ONE BEING SOLD AT NO RESERVE!!!

- This is really a rare find: 1998 BMW M3 Convertible in gorgeous Estoril Blue with only 74k miles, well-maintained, accident-free and being sold at NO RESERVE!!

- Buying a high-line vehicle is all about service, condition and history. THIS ONE HAS IT ALL!!!

- The BMW is completely turnkey.

Tesla says Model 3 is best-selling midsize premium sedan in America

Wed, Jun 6 2018

Auto sales figures are sort of fuzzy numbers, no matter how you slice them and no matter which manufacturer you're talking about. Unless you're specifically tracking vehicle registrations, automakers generally self-report the figures. So, you have to trust that they aren't doing anything too tricky. Plus, not every sale is equal, as some are logged as dealership loaners or demo models, some go to fleets (like to a rental car agency), and still others are, of course, bought by traditional customers looking for a new daily driver. With that preamble out of the way, when we saw a tweet from Tesla claiming that the all-electric Model 3 is the best-selling midsize premium sedan in America, our interest was piqued. According to Tesla, market share of the Model 3 has just surpassed the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, which had up until now led the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, and Lexus IS as the best-selling sedan in its class. Note that the graph from Tesla below is, we think, specific to four-door models. So, is it true? Judging by the numbers we can find, including some from Bloomberg, which has a running chart to track Model 3 registrations, the answer is... probably. We don't know exactly how many Model 3 sedans Tesla is currently cranking out, but Bloomberg estimates production at about 2,560 units per week, and total sales for 2018 at 34,414. We know the number is increasing regularly, though, and Elon Musk has said most recently production sits around 500 units per day, which, on a seven-day cycle, would be 3,500 per week. We looked up Mercedes' sales figures for the month of May, 2018, and found that the German brand sold 5,419 C-Class models last month, for a total of 23,917 for the year (incidentally, that's down more than 30 percent from the year prior). While the bulk of those sales would surely be made up of sedans, it would also include a small percentage of coupes. Either way, it's likely that Tesla is currently producing and selling more Model 3s than Mercedes is C-Classes. Now, it's also worth considering if the C-Class is the only vehicle from Mercedes that directly competes with the Model 3. We'd guess customers may also cross-shop the CLA sedan with the Tesla, and if that's the case, you might decide it's worth adding in Mercedes' 2,527 CLA-Class sales last month and 9,622 so far for the year. The same argument could be made for certain versions of the BMW 2 and 4 Series.

2016 BMW M3 gains new colors, LED taillights

Thu, May 7 2015

The BMW 3 Series gets a few new models and some significant mechanical tweaks for its recently announced 2016 refresh. At the same time, the Bavarian brand is taking the opportunity to make some much more minor adjustments to the M3, too. BMW didn't mention the M3's changes in its announcement of the 3 Series refresh, but company spokesperson Hector Arellano-Belloc explained the updates to Autoblog. On the outside, the sport sedan now comes with full LED taillights, and the exterior is available with new colors from BMW Individual: Smoked Topaz Metallic and Champagne Quartz Metallic. The shades join Tanzanite Blue Metallic and Azurite Black Metallic from the brand's bespoke division. Under the hood, everything is the same with a twin-turbo, 3.0-liter inline-six engine making 425 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. Inside, the M3 gains the improved navigation system from the 3 Series that features over-the-air map upgrades. There's more chrome trim around the interior, as well. "Given how new it is, the changes to the M3 are minimal," said Arellano-Belloc to Autoblog. However, the tweaks show that BMW is trying to keep the performance sedan at the top of its game.

BMW to launch loaner program to avoid range anxiety on i models

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

BMW is looking to stave off electric vehicle range anxiety with a new program that offers buyers a free gasoline loaner with every i3 purchase. Ward's Auto reports BMW is confident that the EV will give buyers the kind of transportation they need for 90 percent of their trips. The loaners, meanwhile, will be available for those few occasions when drivers need to cover more ground than the machine's batteries will allow. The i3 gets around with help from a 180-horsepower electric motor paired with a lithium-ion battery pack.
The combo is good for trips of between 80 and 100 miles depending on driving habits and weather conditions, though BMW also plans to offer a model with a small two-cylinder range-extending gasoline engine as well. That option will likely set you back an additional $4,000. When the machine bows in 2014, it will likely come with a charge time of four to six hours when suckling from a 220-volt outlet.
As far as the conventionally powered loaner car goes, the cost of the program is included in the i3's purchase price, though BMW has yet to figure out how many free loans will be offered, or what happens after that threshold is reached.
