About me:
I am a lifelong automobile enthusiast, mature adult and BMW CCA & Porsche CCA member. While I appreciate all types
of 2 and 4-wheel vehicles, I've always leaned towards BMWs and Porsches for their driving experience and
reliability. I currently own a 2007 BMW M6 Convertible (manual transmission), a 1983 Porsche 928S (manual
transmission, supercharged) and this 1998 BMW M3 Convertible - which I'll tell you more about below. I love to
drive (prefer it over flying in most cases) and my cars are not garage queens - they get driven. My M6 is
approaching 110K mileage (I've owned since 20K - purchased from original owner) and my 928 has 125K on the clock.
Given how much I drive - and how many of my trips are multi-day, 250+ mile excursions, I am very demanding about
maintenance. I keep all of my cars in perfect mechanical condition and subscribe to the philosophy that one's
equipment should be kept in perfect working order at all times - so as to always be ready for use and never let one
down. I am also a stickler for cosmetic maintenance - my very first job was at a car wash and it taught me how to
care for cars before I could even drive them. All of my cars are regularly detailed - especially after long trips.
I take them to the best detail shops and they are waxed every time they are washed. This particular M3 has been
clay bar waxed 3 times in the 10 months I have owned it - in addition to numerous other regular washes and waxes. I
personally clean and condition the interiors and leather after each wash. The interiors (especially leather) are
the one thing I don't trust to others - I've seen too many interiors ruined by using cheap cleaners from the auto
parts store. I treat the interior vinyl/plastic with 303 Marine Aerospace Protectant (originally developed for
aerospace and aviation applications and marketed to the boating industry for UV protection on watercraft which are
constantly in the sun). Leather is cleaned with saddle soap and organic conditioners. I've attached photos of my M6
and 928 in addition the the M3 pics to give you an idea of the condition of my cars. Yes - I am meticulous with
them - but they give me great joy so I don't mind showing them respect and attention.
About this car:
I fell in love with the E36 M3 while in high school. I had a 1974 BMW 2002 at the time (all I could afford back
then). The E36 M3 had just come out - and one of the wealthier kids at school had just been given one by his father
- a 1995 Dakar Yellow coupe. It was the envy of myself and all my friends and I've wanted to own one ever since.
Later in life I was living in Mountain View CA - right around the corner from the original Dinan shop. I'd
regularly see Dinan tuned M3s driving down my street on the way to or from service. The cars looked and sounded so
good - I decided if and when I purchased my own E36 I would bring it to Dinan for the works.
Last spring my M6 was in the shop for some routine maintenance and performance upgrades. I'd had a good 2014 and
decided it was finally time to start looking for an E36 which I could drive for the summer while the M6 work was
completed.

2014 BMW M235i

Tue, 21 Jan 2014

We know a number of BMW owners who reside in the Munich brand's core demographic - upper-five- and six-figure professionals who like to keep their automotive brand credentials as highly respected among their peers as their alma maters or the letters after their names. Before heading to Las Vegas to drive the new M235i, we asked four of those owners, "What did you think of the E30 3 Series?" Although phrased differently, every one of them had the same answer: "What's that?"
You can counter that we just happened to query a tiny and ignorant sample size, and it's possible that you're right. Nevertheless, in every case,we were speaking to BMW's core demographic, the increasing legion of buyers who have fostered another year of record growth and are responsible for BMW retaining its global luxury title for nine straight years. Question that, and we'll refer you to BMW's marketing department, its several hundred PowerPoint slides and several thousand pages of research that prove the point.
That second-generation E30 3 Series built a name, a brand and an entire segment by defining BMW-ness as superlative driving dynamics meets luxury - shortened to the phrase, "The Ultimate Driving Machine." Thirty years later, just being a part of BMW-ness and luxury is enough for the majority of buyers. The superlative handling, that's optional, and 150 hairy guys meet every Tuesday to keep the old religion going, light torches, sing dirges to the siren long gone and bang on their keyboards about the apostasies of modern buyers.

2015 BMW M3 and M4 priced at $62,000 and $64,200

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

When the BMW M3 and M4 debuted on Monday at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, it was to much fanfare and excitement. At that time, though, we were missing a big piece of the M3/M4 puzzle - the price.
According to a report from our roundel-obsessed friends at Bimmerfest, the four-door M3 will star at $62,000, while the M4 Coupe is priced at $64,200. Those prices do not include a $925 destination charge. That's a pretty significant jump over the $56,275 starting price of the old M3 Sedan and $59,275 starting price of the last M3 Coupe, although we'd argue that these cars should easily outpace their V8 counterparts in terms of overall performance. In other news, a six-speed manual will come standard, while the seven-speed M DCT will be an optional extra.
Bimmerfest also came up with a timeline for the M3 and M4's arrival. We should expect the official announcement of pricing, along with the full order guides, released near the end of this month or in early February. Production will kick off in March, while customers will be able to begin placing orders in late April. We'll get our first crack at both cars in June, with deliveries beginning later that month.
