Seling my late 97 M3 Sedan. Its loaded with all the options, Harmon Kardon Sound, 5 speed manual transmission, armrest, heated seats, 6 disc changer, side airbags, etc etc. Currently has 132k. I repainted the car Cyber Grey Metallic recently (I'd rate the paint job 8.5/10 - better than the original 14 year old paint, but not perfect) and spent around 100 hours prepping and painting it. All the door jambs, inside of the trunk, gas filler door have been painted to match. The only thing still arctic silver is the engine bay. I was planning on pulling the engine this winter and spraying it then. The car was involved in a minor accident on the front DS corner. All panels were replaced with OEM - it only needed the fender, hood and grill surround. The grill surround still needs a bit of adjustment. The title is clean. Black Leather interior.

This car has been my toy and hasn't been driven in the winter. Always garaged. No rust, I've only put on 24k miles since I bought it 9 years ago. Runs like a dream. I'm still in the process of getting all the trim back on after it was painted.

Modifications and Features:

ASA 17" Rims with 225/45/17 tires (seen in most of the pics)
6 puck clutchnet clutch disc and red pressure plate (very streetable, not much more aggressive feeling than stock) - Installed around 115k.
Euro Headlights with 5k HIDs
Clear corners all around
FK adjustable coilover suspension (car can be raised up to stock height with these as well) great suspension, not too harsh but firm and great handling.

New Door handle surrounds/gaskets
New Battery Fall '13
New aluminum radiator and coolant system updated.
AC freshly recharged
New Clutch Slave Cylinder

What the car needs at this point:
2 front bumper trim pieces
sunroof gasket
2 vertical rear windshield trim pieces (old ones were cracked and removed when painting)
Gas and temp gauge surrounds reglued (this is a quick job and I may tackle it if I have time)
Pass Rear outer door handle doesn't work
Headliner and glovebox door are starting to sag - very common on these.
Airbag and ABS light need reset - likely a wheel speed sensor, though I haven't investigated it further
Coolant level sensor is bad I believe - car has and maintains full coolant level, no errors when starting or driving but it pops a low coolant level error when shut down.

Windshield washer nozzles need reinstalled.

FM doesn't work on the OEM radio.

Will need new tires in a couple thousand miles.

Tear in the base of the drivers side seat.

Recently it started throwing brake light failure warnings on the OBC - this is a very common issue with aftermarket euro taillights and is an easy fix - again I'll try to tackle this if I have a chance but work has been hectic lately. Brake lights still work as they should it just throws an error on the on board computer.

Priced for a quick sale, it is a low mileage clean M3 sedan (only
4400 made in the US) without any rust and these are becoming more and
more difficult to find in good condition. I'm a BMW enthusiast and have owned 5 different e36s over the past 12 years - this has been the one that I've kept the longest. Car is pictured with 2 door vader seats that have been sold. It will come with the powered, heated, OEM sport sedan M3 seats. I've done my absolute best to describe everything that the car needs - a majority of these things are low dollar items that just need some time spent on them. Unfortunately I started a new job a couple of years ago and haven't had the time to spend on it that I wish I could. Price reflects the items that it still needs to be brought back to perfect shape. Feel free to shoot me an email with any questions. Hopefully my perfect feedback score is a reflection of my integrity when selling things like this. Thanks and good luck! I'll try to update the listing with more interior pics shortly. The rear seat is non folding but does have the ski pass through. Side airbags were standard starting on the '98 model year in e36s - this is a late late '97 that has them but not the rear headrests. Car has never been tracked or autocrossed, the helmet pictured is for my motorcycle.

BMW 1 Series getting a small nose job

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

As BMW prepares to launch its new 2 Series lineup, it appears that the current 1 Series is going to get a little attention for itself. Based on these spy photos, the 1 Series hatchback (F20/F21), which is not offered in the US, will be getting a minor facelift in the near future.
From what we can see in these images, the updated 1 Series will definitely be getting a tweaked front end, with most of the attention focusing on the air intakes and grille. Our shooter tells us that it is possible that the headlights may yet be reworked in some way by the time we see this car in production form. It still isn't clear if we'll ever see this bodystyle or the next-gen 1 Series in the US, but our most recent report seems to indicate that the car's fortunes will depend somewhat on how well the Mercedes CLA-Class and Audi A3 sell.

BMW 1 Series with B38 three-cylinder engine

Downsizing For BMW's Front-Wheel-Drive And i Futures
Output is quoted at 175 horsepower and BMW says it will hit 62 mph in 7.0 seconds.
The red five-door BMW 1 Series seen in this photo gallery has little to do with what is actually of importance here. What we've just tested at an airfield not far from Munich, Germany, is a new 1.5-liter TwinPower Turbo inline three-cylinder gas engine that we'll be hearing an awful lot about in the coming few years.
