I purchased from the original owner in 2013 and the following have been performed by me since:
- New head gasket
- Head professionally machined by a local machine shop
- New radiator, hoses, & plastic thermostat housing and rear plastic coolant 90 (a must for any BMW this age)
- New spark plugs

About the car:

I purchased the car in 2013 from the original owner (a school teacher). The car had just been repainted a few months prior to my purchase. After doing so, they had the head gasket issue and did not want to invest more money in repairs.
The car was purchased new at BMW of Austin. The interior is in good condition and I just ordered a brand new set of floor mats from BMW. The driver seat has some wear on the leather and the passenger seat is in very good condition. Tires are Michelin and in good amount of tread left on all.

Features:
- Keyless entry/alarm with BOTH factory keys and BOTH remotes
- Optional computer display for average MPG, MPH, fuel range, etc.
- Power seats, cruise, windows
- CD changer in trunk and cassette player in day
- FACTORY HARDTOP - valued at $2,500 to $3,000 from recent eBay sales INCLUDED

Minor issues/notes:

- As with many BMW's of this age, the odometer backlight is dim and it is hard to read the odometer reading in full sun, but it is fully functional and readable.
- The back window in the convertible soft top has been removed and would need to be replaced if desired. I have included a new piece of convertible top clear plastic that can be used for this. I was quoted $500 from one upholstery shop owner to take the top off and sew in the clear vinyl. The cloth of the top is in good condition. Personally - If I drive with the top down it is only for a day or afternoon and then I put the hardtop back on.

I am open to trades of equal or lesser value. If less, you will have to come up with the difference in cash. I am not interested in junk, but would consider a project vehicle.

Call or email with questions. NO CALLS AFTER 9 PM please.

2015 BMW M3 Sedan, M4 Coupe are officially revealed [w/video]

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

The new 3.0-liter inline-six makes 425 turbocharged horsepower from 5500 rpm all the way up to 7300 rpm.
BMW has announced the 2015 M3 Sedan and M4 Coupe, high-performance versions of the new 3 Series and 4 Series that launched this year. The new Ms have stirred controversy in a variety of ways, but one must remember that the M cars traditionally don't follow a specific mold.

BMW celebrates with M4 DTM Champion Edition

Tue, 21 Oct 2014

Go back just a few seasons, and Germany's DTM touring car series was a straight-up competition between Audi and Mercedes-Benz. But BMW rejoined the race in 2012, winning both the drivers' and constructors' titles on its first year back and celebrating with a special matte-black M3 DTM Champion Edition. Last season, it won the constructors' championship but not the drivers', and this year it did the opposite. In short, it's been an impressive comeback for the Bavarian automaker, and to celebrate this year's accomplishments, it's followed up with the new M4 DTM Champion Edition for Europe you see here.
Based on the new M4 coupe - which forms the basis for BMW's DTM challenger as well as its pace car - the Champion Edition is distinguished by its special livery: The orange grille frame, the matte black hood and trunk with multicolored stripes, the black stripes along its shoulder and rocker panel, and the blacked-out 19-inch wheels all to pay homage to champion Marco Wittmann's racecar, as does special lettering on the rear windows.
Other enhancements include black front splitter and skirts, carbon front flaps and mirror caps, rear spoiler and carbon diffuser, while autographed sill plates and carbon interior trim with the car's serial number adorn the cabin. Only 23 examples will be offered, symbolic of the number adorning the winning tin-top racer and the flank of this special edition as well.

BMW web sales plan opposed by German dealers

Tue, 23 Jul 2013

Tesla isn't the only manufacturer that is facing a backlash over its plans to sell cars directly to customers. BMW is under fire from its German dealerships over its desire to sell its cars via the internet.
BMW has plans to sell the new i3 through the World Wide Web, while a "Mobile Sales Force" will be making house calls. According to Automotive News Europe, Head of German Sales Roland Krueger told German weekly Wirtschaftswoche, "We can imagine that Internet sales could be expanded to all models." This is the particular caveat that has traditional brick-and-mortar dealers so up in arms.
According to the head of BMW's German dealerships Werner Entenmann, "We told BMW in no uncertain terms that we cannot accept direct sales channels." Reuters reports that an anonymous dealer has gone so far as to pledge not to use the sales force in Germany. Krueger, for what it's worth, told Wirtschaftswoche that the "backbone" of BMW sales will still be traditional dealerships.
