BMW E30 Turbo M3 Tribute. Powered by a 2.5L turbo 6 cylinder engine with a full custom exhaust and intercooler. The engine has a megasquirt ECU and despite only running 6psi of boost dynos at 240 hp at the wheel. The cold air intake is fully custom with removal of high beam lights and velocity stack openings created. Very custom and unique.   Additional boost and ECU tuning (Megasquirts are fully tunable with a laptop) should yield well over 300 hp.  The bottom end is a stock rebuild but the head has gotten the full treatment. (ported and polished, heavier springs, cams, etc)  less than 1000 miles on build. This e30 has a five speed and limited slip differential.


The car is extensively lightened with carbon fiber. The hood, deck lid, wing and wicker, sunroof, race mirrors, grill, eyebrows,rear filler panel, splitter, dash, and center console are all carbon fiber.  The center console is a one off piece. The rear seat has been removed and in its place a body color painted half cage has been fabricated. The cage is as beautiful as it is stout and rigid. The race seats are also carbon fiber and have five point race harnesses.  The steering wheel is on a quick release. The front has a tow hook so the car is ready for the track for driver education days or track days. 

The suspension is lowered and it is a fully adjustable Koni coil over set up. The car sits on ESM wheels and Toyo R888s race tires 245/45/16 front and rear. The ride height is aggressive and has the perfect stance. The car should be aligned before using on track. 

This car was built as a SEMA display car for Eurostop USA and has been to the SEMA show twice. It has also been featured in several magazines. I recently took it to a car show and won the people's choice trophy. It had a constant crowd around it the whole day. It is truly an attention getter and is well built. The car is gorgeous and aggressive. Powerful and light. It would make an awesome show car or track car. Or it is perfect for someone who wants the M3 look for half the price. 

I will assist with shipping. The car is in my personal collection and is located in central CT. As with any auction no warranties are expressed or implied and car is sold as is.  $500 deposit is due within 48 hours of auction end and  full  payment due within 10 days of auction end. Car must be picked up within 10 days unless prior arrangements are made. Car is available for viewing with notice. Please ask your wife, girlfriend, boss etc before you bid. Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Bid early and often and good luck. This car will certainly be the envy of your friends!

BMW X5 gets full battery of performance visuals

Wed, 12 Feb 2014

If you think BMW toned down its third-generation X5 CUV a little too much with its latest redesign, the new M Performance Parts line of optional parts may give you a chance to inject in a new sense of style.
The aesthetic parts include new carbon fiber pieces for the mirror caps, front splitter, rear diffuser and rear aero flaps. There's also a rear spoiler, high-gloss black kidney grilles, M Performance rocker panel decals and double-spoke 21-inch wheels with performance tires. The interior upgrades are similar with an available Alcantara steering wheel with carbon fiber trim, stainless steel pedals and carbon fiber gearshift trim.
Not all of the M Performance Parts are about style. The M Performance Power Kit sharpens throttle response and boosts power of the X5 xDrive35i to 320 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque, an improvement of 20 hp and 32 lb-ft, and an optional exhaust with chrome tips improves its sound. For buyers looking for improved stopping power, the M Performance Brake Kit adds six-piston calipers with 19-inch steel rotors.

BMW bringing 9 Series concept to Beijing

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

It appears that BMW is ready to take another step upmarket with a new concept flagship luxury sedan at the Beijing Motor Show at the end of April. The showcar is said to preview the company's rumored 9 Series, a sedan that would be positioned against top trims of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, like the rumored S600 Maybach.
According to Automotive News Europe, the concept sedan wears styling language adapted from the curvaceous BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe (pictured above) shown at the 2013 Villa d'Este Concours d'Elegance in May. It rides on BMW's new, modular platform - codenamed G11 - for the company's largest cars, an architecture also expected to be shared with the next 7 Series and future Rolls-Royce vehicles. It's rumored to bring the weight of the 7 closer to the 5 Series, which would be several hundred pounds lighter when comparing the base models of both current vehicles. We spotted the next-gen 7 Series testing over a year ago, and both it and the 9 Series are expected to go on sale in 2016.
Unfortunately, at the moment there is no official information about the concept. "We don't have any official news yet on anything in Beijing," Julian Arguelles, BMW USA spokesperson, tells Autoblog. However, it's heartening to think that BMW might be adapting the gorgeous shape of the Gran Lusso for production.

2014 BMW 6 Series gets Frozen Brilliant White convertible, manual option for M6

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

BMW has announced updates to the 6 Series lineup today, including a special "Frozen" edition of the convertible, and a 640i Gran Coupe in all-wheel-drive trim.
The 2014 BMW 6 Series Convertible Frozen Brilliant White Edition (catchy name, right?) will be available from select BMW dealers this May, and will offer buyers the signature paint, Frozen Black mirror caps, a black grille and uniquely designed, 20-inch M Performance wheels. Just 100 examples of the FBWE 6er will be produced, with both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive cars in the mix, for starting prices of $106,995 and $110,095, respectively (both prices include $895 in destination and handling charges).
BMW has also informed us that all of its 6 Series Gran Coupe models will now be available with the company's xDrive all-wheel-drive system. No pricing has been given for the xDrive versions of the car as of yet.
