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.

- The M3 is for sale locally so we reserve the right to end the auction early. Please give us a call at 410-803-4448 to make us a BUY-IT-NOW offer today!

- If you are planning on financing, we ask that you PLEASE HAVE ALL FUNDS/FINANCING APPROVED AND PREPARED BEFORE PLACING YOUR BID! If you need help getting approved, give us a call at 410-803-4448 and our finance manager with over 25 years experience will help get you approved today!!

- There is a $199 Document and Prep fee that allows us to sell the vehicle at NO RESERVE.

-This is a 10 day NO RESERVE auction. The highest bidder will win.

BMW offers M Performance Power Kit for 2012 335i sedan

Thu, 28 Mar 2013

BMW has let loose a new M Performance Power Kit for its F30-generation 335i and 335i xDrive sedans. Starting at $1,100 for the kit - installation is extra - your car will be fitted with a new ECU and air intake on the functional side and an M Performance engine cover and rocker panel stickers on the decorative side. The Power Kit raises the 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder's horsepower rating from 300 to 320, and on automatic models, torque gets a boost from 300 pound-feet to 332 lb-ft - manual transmission models get a smaller bump to 317 lb-ft.
According to the Bavarian automaker, you'll be able to hear the change in the overrun exhaust note, and 0-60 mile-per-hour times drop by 0.2 seconds. The package is available now at all BMW Centers in the US, and if you get it installed when you purchase the car new, it will get the same four-year, 50,000-mile warranty as the vehicle. Have it done after the fact and the kit will be warranted for two years and unlimited miles. There's a press release below with some more details.

Next BMW M5 could go all-wheel drive

Wed, Jan 14 2015

Franciscus van Meel had been a part of Audi AG management since 1996, in positions including chassis development and vehicle project director. In 2012 he was named managing director of Quattro GmbH - headquarters for personal favorites like the RS6 Avant and R8 - but he lasted just two years before being sent to lead an R&D division in Beijing. He returned from exile just ten months later but wearing a blue and white roundel, after being named to the top spot at BMW M. So it shouldn't be a surprise that when Auto Express asked van Meel about all-wheel drive on the next M5, he replied, "If we continue the power increases in the future... then probably the next generation M5 and M6 will have so much torque and power that we need to think about those solutions." It would make sense from a competitive standpoint, too - once the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG went 4Matic, that put the two of the three cars in the segment in the AWD column. And there's no "if" about a power increase: a recent report put next generation's output at 600 hp - that's 40 hp more than today - to power a lighter car. That report said there'd be the option of four-wheel drive, but AE takes van Meel's words as a definite sign that we'll see a more complex drive arrangement under the next M5. If so, then truth be told, van Meel is reiterating the thoughts of his predecessor from two years ago. The new M boss doesn't like the phrase "four-wheel drive," however; in clarifying those "solutions" he mentioned, he said that the car would be rear-biased to remain emotional, with the front tires kicking in to aid traction.

BMW X4 M probably not in the cards

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

BMW is preparing to exploit its latest market niche - those that find themselves unable to choose between the 3 Series, 4 Series and X3 - with the X4. If you're looking for an M product, though, you'll remain limited to the 3 and 4 Series. BMW's Bernhard Ederer, at the Australian launch of the X5, told Car Advice he wouldn't "bet on it," when asked about a hotter X4.
Oddly, Ederer's reasoning, according to the Aussies, is out of concern for the X6 M, whose sales the X4 M would apparently cannibalize. That's like saying the M3 doesn't make sense because it will cannibalize M5 sales - the logic just doesn't really hold up. "The question is what customers are we talking to? And are we talking to someone that is willing and able to afford [an X6 M]?" Ederer told Car Advice.
Car Advice seems to feel the same way, claiming the X3-based X4 will share its powertrains with its donor platform, and will eventually spawn an M variant, albeit a few years down the line.
