1997 BMW M3

Automatic Sedan

The car was in very good condition before the accident.  Everything worked and maintenance was always kept up on.  Interior is in very good condition.  This was one of the nicer M3's out there, it was not beat.  Which is why I believe it should be brought back to life.  I just don't have the time to do it.  I need it out of the way.  So you get a deal.  I valued the car at $7000 pre accident.  So if you feel you can fix it for under that, you will be making out.

The car hit a wall at under 30mpg, I don't know the speed, I was not driving.  Most of the impact occurred on the passenger side.  That is where you will have to have the strut tower area straightened out.  You will also need a new passenger front quarter panel.  Passenger door needs edge straighten or replaced.  Windshield needs to be replaced.  Dash and steering wheel need to be replaced.  Needs new hood.  Everything from the front of the engine forward needs to be replaced. Driver qtr panel is salvageable or you can replace.

Engine starts and runs.  There is no coolant left in it, so I never kept it running.  Just enough to pull it out of the garage for pictures.  It doesn't look like there is any damage to any major mechanicals.  Mainly the radiators, fans, and stuff up front.  The engine was not pushed on hard.  The expansion tank is pushed up to it, but the plastic tank would have broken if it was really pushed against the engine.  The engine fan  is hitting stuff, so it does make noise when running.

I quick started to look at prices and I think if you do the work yourself you can make out here.  Most all of the parts are standard E36 parts and there are a lot of them out there.  You can get the steering wheel for $50.  The dash for $100.  The windshield installed for $200.

The car has some UPGRADES!!!!!

It has a DINAN performance chip!  It is cali-legal too.

It has a K&N cold air intake.

It is the VANOS rattle fix.

It was always well maintained.  Mobile 1 every 3000 miles.  I had a dealer replace the trans fluid when I bought it $500 job.  Various suspension components have been replaced.  Front brakes are new, slotted and cross drilled.  Front wheel bearings are fairly new.  New air pump control value and air pump.

This is your opportunity to get into a nice M3 on the cheap.  Or your opportunity to make some money.

I don't want offers.  I don't want questions.  I don't want to show the car.  I just don't have the time.  If I had time, I would fix it up myself.  Just bid and when you come to pick it up, if you aren't happy, we can cancel the auction.  Auction is no reserve, so you will get the car.

Clean title in hand.

Defying Trump, major automakers finalize California emissions deal

Tue, Aug 18 2020

WASHINGTON — The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and major automakers on Monday confirmed they had finalized binding agreements to cut vehicle emissions in the state, defying the Trump administration's push for weaker curbs on tailpipe pollution. The agreements with carmakers Ford Motor Co, Volkswagen AG, Honda Motor Co and BMW AG were first announced in July 2019 as voluntary measures prompting anger from U.S. President Donald Trump. A month later, the Justice Department opened an antitrust probe into the agreements. The government ended the investigation without action. The Trump administration in March finalized a rollback of U.S. vehicle emissions standards to require 1.5% annual increases in efficiency through 2026. That is far weaker than the 5% annual increases in the discarded rules adopted under President Barack Obama. The 50-page California agreements, which extend through 2026, are less onerous than the standards finalized by the Obama administration but tougher than the Trump administration standards. The automakers have also agreed to electric vehicle commitments. Volvo Cars, owned by China's Geely Holdings, said in March it planned to join the automakers agreeing to the California requirements. It has also finalized its agreement. The settlement agreements say California and automakers agreed to resolve "potential legal disputes concerning the authority of CARB" and other states that have adopted California's standards. In May, a group of 23 U.S. states led by California and some major cities, challenged the Trump vehicle emissions rule. Other major automakers like General Motors Co, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV and Toyota Motor Corp did not join the California agreement. Those companies also sided with the Trump administration in a separate lawsuit over whether the federal government can strip California of the right to set zero emission vehicle requirements. Ford said the "final agreement will reduce emissions in our vehicles at a more stringent rate, support and incentivize the production of electrified products, and create regulatory certainty." BMW said "by setting these long-term, predictable, and achievable standards, we have the regulatory certainty that is necessary for long-term planning that will not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions but ultimately benefit consumers as well."

Watch a trio of Santas ride up Mulholland Drive

Wed, 25 Dec 2013

Santa Claus might have his eight reindeer - or nine, when it's foggy - to help him deliver presents in most parts of the world, but in southern California, it looks like he's traded up from Dasher, Dancer, Prancer and company to BMW, Yamaha and Ducati. RNickeyMouse is usually the place to check out spectacular motorcycle crashes on video along LA's Mulholland Drive, but a recent video caught a trio of Santas carving up the iconic, twisty road.
The three Santas are together, riding what appears to be a BMW S1000RR, Yamaha R1 and a hard-to-tell custom bike that could be a Ducati 1098. The video, which is posted below, also catches a bonus Santa riding solo on another S1000RR. Happy Christmas to all, and to all a cool bike!
