I am selling my 89 E30 325ix. 

The car has 114,000 miles and is in exceptional condition for 25 years old. You will not find many cleaner E30s, especially with low miles like this. This car appreciates in value every day. I have upgraded the sound system to Alpine w/ Bluetooth, and swapped the original 4-spoke steering wheel with an '89 E30 M3 3-spoke wheel, however, I have the original parts, which will come with the car.

This car is exceedingly rare, and to find one like this, with no rust and low miles, is a bit like finding a unicorn. 

Here are the production numbers for this car in the United States by year:

1988: 310 sold
1989: 844 sold
1990: 699 sold
1991: 454 sold

As you can see, it's rare; you'll have 1 of 844 E30 325ix BMWs in the country...not too bad. Do a search for one, you'll be lucky to find more than a couple at any one time on craigslist or eBay. This has been my daily driver for the past year and it is unreal in the snow...unstoppable. Read the reviews—if you're reading this, you know. 

It wouldn't take much to make this a show car, but it's definitely not there—it is a daily driver, an exceptionally clean driver, but a driver nonetheless. Do not expect a garage queen, concours-type car. 


In the past year I have done the following:

New Timing belt
New Water pump
New cat-back exhaust (OEM stock)
New Bilstein HD shocks & struts (F&R)
New HR Springs w/ alignment (lowers the car by about 1.4"), rides beautifully...
New strut mounts front and rear
New front driveshaft
New front windshield
New Big O tires (all season radials, great in snow)
New Alpine stereo w/ Bluetooth phone connectivity and remote
New breather hoses
New Aux fan resistor
New idle control valve hose
New coolant sensor
New Bosch wipers
New ball joints
New Alpina floor mats
New 30% window tint all around

The interior is in excellent condition. There are a couple of small cracks on the dash (see photos, very common), but nothing major. The front driver's seat has a small seam that is slowly coming apart, but it can be sewn back easily. Apart from these, the interior is perfect. No tears in the headliner, carpets are perfect, Alpina floor mats are new. 

The exterior is in very good shape. There are some spots where the paint is starting to crack a bit, especially noticeable on the trunk lid (see photo). I priced out having the deck lid painted, and it's about $500. There is some fading on the passenger side lower skirt as well (see photo). Otherwise, for 25 years old, the paint is in pretty good shape. The hood was repainted in DiamondSchwartz metallic by the previous owner and looks new. 

Mechanically, the car is sound. Never gets hot, AC blows cold, heater is perfect. Cruise control works, fog lights work, blinkers work, computer works, everything works as it should. I would not hesitate to drive this car across the country tomorrow...or wait until it snows, even better!!

Horsepower/Torque: 168 bhp (125kW) @ 5800rpm / 164 ft/lb (222Nm) @ 4300rpm (redline 6700 RPM, rev limiter rpm) 


THIS CAR WILL SELL QUICKLY AND IT'S LISTED LOCALLY IN BOULDER, COLORADO WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED NEW 25 YEARS AGO. DON'T LET THIS ONE SLIP BY...

BMW Vision Gran Turismo takes M235i Racing to the virtual extreme [w/videos]

Wed, 14 May 2014

Late last year, Mercedes-AMG worked up a concept car called the Vision Gran Turismo. It presented it at the Los Angeles Auto Show, but that wasn't the point: the point was that it would feature in Gran Turismo 6 on the PlayStation 3. It wasn't the first concept created specifically for the popular driving simulator - following similar projects by Citroën and Red Bull Racing - and as we reported just a month later, it wouldn't be the last. What we have here is the next.
Looking like an even more extreme version of the M235i Racing, the BMW Vision Gran Turismo concept builds on "the tradition of the successful BMW touring cars of the 1970s" in a heart-pumping, if unfortunately strictly virtual form. It's got more extreme aero than the aforementioned M235i Racing and a striking take on the M division's signature light blue, dark blue and red stripe over white livery.
Underneath the digital bonnet sits the same 3.0-liter inline six as the M235i, but pumping out a prodigious (if theoretical) 549 horsepower - far more than the 333 hp in the actual Racing version or the 320 hp in the roadgoing model. Of course BMW has given it an ideal 50:50 front-rear weight distribution and a curb weight of 2,600 lbs - nearly a thousand pounds less than the roadgoing M235i.

BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe spotted wearing minimal camo, M Sport pack

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

The new BMW 4 Series is essentially the coupe version of the latest 3 Series. So it would stand to reason that the four-door version of the 4 Series, in turn, would be the 3 Series - right? Well, yes and no.
Just as BMW offers both a 5 Series sedan and a four-door version of the 6 Series called the Gran Coupe, so, too, will its 4-Series family expand. So following the release of the new 4 Series Convertible, here we have the latest batch of spy shots showing the upcoming 4 Series Gran Coupe - which in turn should not be confused with the hunchbacked 3 Series Gran Turismo, which is more of a sporty wagon than a four-door coupe.
The nearly ready test vehicle pictured here is wearing only minimal camouflage to hide some last few details, but also appears to be wearing the M Sport package that will bridge the gap (at least, visually speaking) between the base models and the M4 Gran Coupe that is all but certain to follow.

BMW i3 misses top Euro safety rating [w/videos]

Wed, 27 Nov 2013

The Euro NCAP just tested a recent batch of new cars including the 2014 BMW i3, and the EV Bimmer scored less-than-perfect results. Though not horrible, BMW's all-electric/range-extended i3 was given a four-star (out of five possible) crash rating due to concerns with front-occupant whiplash and side-impact protection.
Based on the crash results, the BMW provided suitable protection for occupants in the frontal, side barrier, pedestrian and child-seat tests, but the i3 was tripped up when it came to the more severe side pole test and the rear-impact test. The pole test showed protection to the chest of the test dummy was "weak," and the front seats only provided "marginal" protection against whiplash for front passengers. Scroll down to watch two videos released by the Euro NCAP of the i3 being tested.
