Thank you for checking out my 1988 BMW E30 M3. The E30 M3 in my opinion is by far the best M3 ever made. This is a fine example of a mostly original M3 that has never been raced, mistreated or been in any accidents. Below I have made a brief outline of the condition.

EXTERIOR

- The car was repainted by a reputable shop and is currently in excellent condition. It was just fully detailed and looks amazing.

- Body is straight as can be.

- Absolutely No Rust

- Wheels are original and in very good condition.

- Tires have about 60% tread left

INTERIOR

- The car has it's original tan interior. The interior is in excellent shape with no tears, marks, rips or excessive wear. To make it showroom the interior could be refinished but that's totally up to the new owner.

- All gauges, lights, doors, windows and electrical is in good working order.

- Odometer is accurate and is fully functional.

MOTOR & TRANS

- Original S14 Motor was just refreshed last year and has less than 200 miles on it. Parts replaced include JE pistons, timing chain, timing guide, head gasket set, oil pump, water pump, lower engine gasket set, intake air flow sensor, rod bearings and main bearings. Also the head was serviced and the valves were resealed. The block is now bored to fit the larger 94mm pistons.

- Original Getrag 5 Speed transmission is in excellent shape and shifts smoothly.

CHASSIS

- Completely Rust Free. Absolutely Solid

HIGHLIGHTS

- No Accidents

- Vin tags on every panel except passenger side front panel. Vin tags everywhere else including above the tool set and behind both the driver side and passenger side rear side markers.

SUGGESTIONS

- Suspension could use tightening. Drives fine but if you really want to let it rip you would benefit from having the suspension upgraded.

- Interior is 100% original and hasn't been re-tinted. Depending on how original you'd like to stay you may or may not want to touch the interior.

- Super Sprint exhaust is currently installed. You may want to go back to the original exhaust if you prefer.

This is a 1988 E30 M3 and is eligible for historic registration. Please check with your local DMV for guidelines. I have tried to outline the car the best I could however I realize that you may have questions. Please ask as many questions as you'd like before bidding. As this is a classic I definitely recommend a PPI before purchase, this is an AS IS sale and all sales are final. You are more than welcome to setup a time with me to see it in person and take it for a test drive (deposit required before driving).

** Please note the Autocheck in not accurate, apparently there was some documentation confusion back in the late 90's. This is a no accident vehicle. The Carfax is 100% clean, feel free to run a report or email me for mine **

BMW Shanghai: Driving in mega cities, designing the future and more

Thu, 25 Apr 2013

The BMW enclave is a suitable mix of high-tech and throwback cool.
A few days before the Shanghai Motor Show kicked off, we were part of an international group of media that was invited to have a look at the BMW Designworks Shanghai Studio and ConnectedDrive Lab facility. The building that BMW found to house its Chinese think tank is in a lovely part of Shanghai known as the former French Concession. The late 1890s and early 1900s French architectural style, brick-paved streets and tree-lined spaces feel a world apart from the ultra-modern heart of Shanghai, and the BMW enclave is a suitable mix of high-tech and throwback cool.

BMW M4 Coupe laps 'Ring in 7:52, bests outgoing M3

Thu, 19 Jun 2014

Comparing Nürburgring Nordschleife lap times is a bit of a black art, especially when looking at times officially set by manufacturers matched against other sources. Driver skill and weather conditions play a huge roll in determining a quality time. Still, it appears BMW fans have reason to celebrate because the new M4 Coupe beat the previous-generation M3 by 13 seconds in a recent test by Germany's Sport Auto magazine.
Sport Auto conducts what it calls the Supertest, where it runs performance cars around the 'Ring and the short course at Hockenheim to create its own database of comparable times. The M4 with a dual-clutch transmission, ceramic brakes and Michelin Pilot Supersport tires managed a quality 7 minutes 52 second lap around the 12.8-mile course, compared to 8:05 from the last M3, according to BimmerPost. The new coupe also beat the magazine's posted times for the Audi RS5 Coupe, which did it in 7:59, and Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG with an 8:01, but couldn't quite match the 7:44 set by a 911 Carrera S. Still, BMW must be somewhat pleased with these results of its new 425-horsepower coupe because it posted the magazine's cover and an image of the time on its official M Facebook page.
While the M4 apparently stands up to contemporaries and predecessors, new generations of the AMG and RS models are reportedly on the horizon. In other words, more tests will come.

European jury picks finalists for 2015 Car of the Year

Tue, Dec 16 2014

There are countless Car of the Year awards handed out each year, and naturally, Europe has its own way of doing things. Every year, a panel of jurists representing seven publications in seven different languages and seven different countries get together to name their joint Car of the Year. The panel released a list of 32 candidates back in July, and it has now whittled that list down to seven nominees. The list consists of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, the Citroen C4 Cactus (shown), the Ford Mondeo, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the Nissan Qashqai, the Renault Twingo and the Volkswagen Passat. Of those seven, only two are available in the US – those being the Mondeo (sold Stateside as the Fusion) and the C-Class. The Passat is an entirely different model in North America, the Qashqai isn't offered here, Citroen and Renault don't even participate in our market and the BMW 2 Series is represented here only by the completely different coupe and convertible. Expect the one and only recipient of the 2015 Car of the Year award to be announced at the Geneva Motor Show this coming March, and while you're waiting, you can place your guesses for the eventual winner in Comments.
