1997 BMW M3 Track Race Car

VIN: WBSBG9329VEY74145

Arctic Silver Metallic; 5-speed Manual; 3.2-liter (S50) Inline-6 with 300+ hp; NASA GTS3 and BMW Prepared Class or Track/Race/DE Car; Title; Two-Owners; Tons of Upgrades: Two Sets of Wheels, Diff Cooler, Fall Line Custom Cage (2007), Cams, Headers, Cold Air Intake, Blanton 3.64 diff, Wilwood Brakes, OBD I ECU, Two Racetech Seats (new in 2011, one barely used), JRZ Suspension, Double-Adjustable Shocks, Racing Dynamics Strut Brace, Dual Fuel Pumps, Lightweight Flywheel/Heavy Duty Clutch, and Much More; Professionally Maintained.

This 1997 BMW M3 (E36) was delivered new in Dallas, Texas in November of 1996 with 42 miles on the odometer. That original owner sold the car to the second owner in October of 1998 (when the car had 14,807 miles). That second owner originally used the M3 as a road car. He then developed the car extensively for racing/track days in 2007 with around 86,000 miles. The M3 has all original body panels and it is in very good condition. Both owners took excellent care of this M3 and it has been maintained to a very high standard.

Included in the sale are two sets of wheels along with many race spares (new brake rotors, brake pads, service manual, wheel bearings, fuel pump, AIM data acquisition system with Smarty Cam) and a ton of original M3 parts (removed when the car was built for track use in 2007).

This M3 is fully sorted and is an excellent track, race, or DE car. It is not a pieced-together tuner car, it is developed and setup correctly. It is eligible for NASA GTS3 (very big bonus) and also for BMW Prepared Class. It weighs 2755 pounds. The engine develops 268 hp at the rear-wheels (300+ hp at the crank). The engine is an S50 out of a Z3M (20,000 miles on engine when it was built around 2007). The engine has 8000 miles on it since being built. New Racetech seats, a cool suit, and a new Optima battery were installed last year and have little use. The M3 only has a couple of track weekends over the past two-years and offers an inexpensive option for a buyer compared to building their own car from scratch.

2015 BMW M3 and M4 configurator launched, no lunch hour safe

Thu, 03 Apr 2014

BMW has just made your lunch break a little more interesting by launching the configurators for the M3 and M4. Pricing and options for the new sports coupe and sedan was revealed just a few days ago, but it's always more fun to see the visual effect your personalizations have on the bottom line.
The M3 and M4 start at $62,000 and $64,200, respectively, without a $925 destination charge. However, as soon as the configurator is opened, both models default with metallic paint ($550) and the M Double-clutch Transmission ($2900), plus extended leather on the M3 ($950) and full leather on the M4 ($3,500). This is basically the way they were shown when displayed at auto shows. Of course, there's nothing preventing users from setting up these performance machines however they like.
So sit down at your desk with a cup of coffee or a sandwich and create your perfect German sport sedan or coupe. It's always fun to see how much money can be spent on a dream car.

Dealers mobilize to protect their margins from automaker subscription services

Fri, Aug 24 2018

Six individual auto brands — Lincoln, Cadillac, Porsche, Mercedes, BMW and Volvo — have established or are trialing a vehicle subscription service in the U.S. Three third-party companies — Flexdrive, Clutch and Carma — run brand-agnostic subscription services. And three automakers — Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and General Motors — have also launched short-term rental services. Dealers, afraid of how these trends might affect their margins, are building political and lawmaking campaigns to protect their revenue streams. So far, three states are investigating automaker subscriptions, and Indiana has banned any such service until next year. It's certain that those three states are the first fronts in a long political and legal battle. Powerful dealer franchise laws mandate the existence of dealers and restrict how automakers are allowed to interact with customers to sell a vehicle. On top of that, Bob Reisner, CEO of Nassau Business Funding & Services, said, "Dealers and their associations are among the strongest political operators in many states. They as a group are difficult for state politicians to vote against." In California earlier this year, the state Assembly debated a bill with wide-ranging provisions to protect against what the California New Car Dealers Association called "inappropriate treatment of dealers by manufacturers." One of those provisions stipulated that subscription services need to go through dealers, but that item got stripped out when dealers and manufacturers agreed to discuss the matter further. In Indiana, Gov. Eric Holcomb signed a moratorium on all subscription programs by dealers or manufacturers until May 1, 2019, to give legislators more time to investigate. Dealers in New Jersey have taken their campaign to the state capitol, asking that the cars in subscription programs get a different classification for registration purposes. Automakers run the current subscription services and own the vehicles. Sign-ups and financial transactions happen online or through apps, leaving dealers to do little more than act as fulfillment centers to various degrees, with little legal recourse as to compensation amounts when they're called on to deliver or service a car. That's a bad base to build on for business owners who've sunk millions of dollars into their operations.

2019 BMW Z5 shows off its soft top

Thu, Jul 7 2016

BMW continues development work on the Z5, which will succeed the Z4 in its lineup for the 2019 model year. These latest spy shots again show off the Z5's classic sports-car proportions during testing on European roads. As expected, the roadster will switch to a cloth top instead of the retractable hardtop the Z4 uses. The much-anticipated Z5 will be based on a rear-wheel-drive platform that's jointly developed with Toyota. Rumors persist Toyota's version will mark the return of the Supra name, though the Japanese automaker has been silent on the matter. Reports say the cars could be assembled by Magna Steyr in Austria. We expect the Z5 will run four- and six-cylinder engines, and the soft top will help the roadster reduce weight and likely improve performance. It's also possible BMW will build a fixed-roof Z5. We predict the Z5 will appear on the auto show circuit within the next year. The long-running Z4 launched for 2009.
