Valley Stream, New York, United States
1999 BMW M3 coupe
-Techno Violet exterior on Dove Gray leather interior. -Fully loaded. -Sport package. -Power Vader seats. -5spd manual trans. -78,xxx original miles. -All original. -Meticulously maintained. -Only serviced using OEM BMW parts, including original BMW motor oil since new. -Only 93octane Super petrol at the pump. -Never modified or abused. -Clean and clear history and title. Mechanicals: -The car starts on the first turn of the key every time. Idles perfectly steady with no problems whatsoever. The motor pulls extremely strong throughout the entire RPM range with full power and proper compression in all six cylinders. -OEM clutch that feels and performs like new. Transmission shifts perfectly throughout all gears with a tight and precise throw. Absolutely no slipping, grinding, crunching, or problems of any kind. -Steering and suspension both feel excellent and leave the driver with full confidence. Very sporty with tight and precise mannerism, although retaining that world renown BMW comfort on those longer drives. -Brakes are all newer and work flawlessly. Hand brake also locks extremely tight. -All electronics work as they should. Rare powered Vader seats, original option. The sought after OEM+ CD43 radio/headunit is installed, however the original tape deck radio is included. The original CD changer is also still in the trunk and works as it should. -All lighting work as they should with no flaws. -A/C blows ice cold on the hottest of days. The heat also works flawlessly. Perfect pixels and fully functioning climate control unit (very common problem with this model is a faulty climate control unit). -Absolutely no warning lights or CEL on the dash cluster. Cosmetics: -Beautiful original Techno Violet paint in immaculate condition. Before owning this ///M3 the thought of a purple car would have made me cringe, however I must say in full honesty that this is one of the cleanest, classiest, and coolest colors I have ever seen on any car. The photos do not do justice for the condition of this car's paint, I welcome any serious buyers to come see for yourself. -All plastic trim is in great shape and still deep black in color with minimal fading. -All glass is original and flawless. -The Dove Gray leather interior compliments the Techno Violet paint very well creating a subtle, yet extremely attractive color combination. The carpets, door panels, and headliner are all in excellent condition with no stains, rips, or tears of any kind. The dash is excellent as well with no cracks or defects of any kind. The powered leather Vader seats are in great shape for their age, although they are not in "new" condition. They are, however, extremely presentable and very in respectable shape giving their age and the nature of such a light color. There are no stains, rips, tears, or holes in any of the seats. The rear seats and passenger front seat are a solid 9.5/10 -- however the driver's seat is an 8/10 due to expected and common wear on the bolsters. In all honesty, a simple "Leatherique" treatment would really bring the Vader seats up to par with the rest of the car. In no way, shape, or form is any upholstery work required. Unfortunately I am my own worst critic, but in reality almost everyone who sees the interior in person raves about its condition. -The original spare tire, jack, tool kit, and entire trunk are in excellent, unmolested condition. -The engine bay is extremely clean and appears to have been detailed regularly since new. All plastics and rubber hoses are in excellent shape and are still a very deep black in color. All fluid reservoirs are clean and presentable with no leakage. -Absolutely no leaking fluids anywhere. Upgrades: -Stainless steel STROMUNG exhaust. Super high quality made in Germany and retails for $700 USD. Looks, sounds, and performs incredible. In my opinion, the best made and best sounding exhausts for the E36 ///M3. -New black leather shift boot with tri-colored ///M stitching. -OEM BMW ZHP weighted shift knob. -OEM BMW CD43 headunit. -High quality aFe air intake which also improves sound and performance. Disclaimer: Despite being a meticulously maintained and low mileage example of this German built sport coupe, it is a used 1999 model year ///M3 with 78,xxx miles. For its age, the car is immaculate, but one cannot expect a brand new car. It is not without very minor flaws and blemishes, which are inevitable and should be expected on a vehicle that is 14+ years old. Mechanically the car is without fault, and it is all up to date on any and all services. Regular care and maintenance is required to keep this car in perfect working order. Car is sold as-is, where-is. No warranty is express or implied. I encourage all interested parties to come feel, see, and hear this beautiful machine in person. Feel free to email with any questions or concerns. Good luck bidding! On Oct-21-13 at 19:36:47 PDT, seller added the following information:A few detail I forgot to mention: (1)-The car was bought new in California, and remained in that beautiful warm and dry climate until 2008 where it was purchased in New York. It has always been garaged when not in use since it has been in NY. (2)-Absolutely NO RUST anywhere on this car. Structurally sound and solid. (3)-The original DSII wheels have been refinished in a Nogaro Silver color which compliments the car's color combination perfectly. The wheels are clean, cool, and beautiful. (4)-All four tires are like-new. Goodyear Eagle GT with 225/45 in the front and 245/40 in the rear. Very reliable, grippy, and comfortable tires with no road noise. On Oct-21-13 at 20:12:49 PDT, seller added the following information:I also forgot to mention that the cooling system has been serviced very recently, including a brand new radiator, with receipts.

BMW M3 and M4 leak ahead of Detroit debut
Wed, 11 Dec 2013Images of the overhauled BMW M3 sedan and M4 coupe have leaked ahead of a debut at next month's Detroit Auto Show, along with option sheets and some specs.
Both wear the standard hallmarks of BMW's M division. There's a subtle power dome in the hood, along with the requisite M3/4-branded strakes on the front fenders. The front and rear fascia are more aggressive than what we've seen in the 3/4 Series M Sport package, as well. Split-five-spoke wheels mean the neither car will stand out in the family portrait and those gold calipers, meanwhile, signify what has been rumored for some time - the M3 and M4 will be getting carbon-ceramic brakes.
The cabin is home to the standard suite of M accoutrements, including a new steering wheel and more heavily bolstered seats. Special trim, including carbon fiber, will be available to further set these cars apart from the standard models.
Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating
Mon, Aug 6 2018Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.
Mercedes fights off late BMW surge to claim 2013 luxury sales crown
Sat, 04 Jan 2014The king is dead - long live the king. Mercedes-Benz is now your new US sales champion in the fiercely competitive luxury market, deposing the champ BMW, which has enjoyed annual supremacy for the past two years.
Thanks in no small part to the dynamite launch of the new, affordable CLA-Class, not to mention a redesigned E-Class and hot-selling S-Class, Mercedes moved 33,007 units in December alone, while sales in 2013 were up 14 percent, to 312,534. BMW, meanwhile, managed to sell 309,280 units in 2013. It was far from a sure thing for the Stuttgart-based brand, though, as BMW managed to nearly halve its rival's sales lead heading into the last month of 2013.
"We saw record sales, flexed our muscles across the entire product line from top to bottom and brought the customer experience to an all-time high," said Steve Cannon, Mercedes USA's CEO. While we don't have individual figures, it seems at first blush that the CLA was really the car that pushed Mercedes over the top.
