 Very reluctant sale of my 4/87 build 1988 M3. I have started small family and with new house have no room to keep her anymore. Car originally purchased in Atlanta in 1988 then moved to South Carolina where its been since. I have owned car last 15 years and have only put about 10,000 miles on her in that time. Previous owner resprayed car in about 1996 in original Diamantschwarz and added M color pinstripes under clearcoat. All sheetmetal is original and all show same VIN #. Again hood, front fenders, doors,trunk, rear fenders all show same OEM VIN# ending 5509. 100% original interior with black leather on grey carpet (some stains) and perfect headliner. I removed radio and have never cut into any interior panels for speakers. A/C works but is NOT cold. Power sunroof and windows work but driverside power mirror does not. Perfect crackfree, scratchfree dash and all original glass except for rear windshield that was replaced after dent (pictured) put above 3rd brakelight. The only panel gap thats not perfect is right rear corner where bumper meets quarter panel. There is crease (pictured) in sheetmetal under right rear tail light area of trunk, this was there when I purchased car. Paint is ok on sides and has good shine but horizontal areas hood, roof, trunk have dulled some from sun exposure. Clearcoat has peeled in several spots(pictured) and there are afew scratches and dimesize dings around car. Trunk wing shows worst clearcoat cracking and peeling as most e30 M3's do. Only rust on car is 3 surface rust spots (pictured) one under rear quarter glass and rolled lip of front fenders where paint peeled (pictured). Grill and trunk M3 emblems were removed when resprayed and never replaced. Car has original s14 engine that has never been into with about 197,500 miles. I say about because odometer broke no more than 300 miles ago. This is common issue on 80's BMW's as plastic odometer gears strip, Google it. Car starts and idles fine although starter sticks about 50% of time. There is intermitant loud noise until motor warms up that I would describe as powersteering related or possibly one of belt pulleys on front of motor. Only real issue I have ever had was what I thought to be fuel delivery problem but since changing ECU in glovebox, plugs, fuel filter, and disconnecting altitude sensor by cold air box she has run great! With only 10,000 miles in 15 years i've done several oil and filter changes but no one brand oil. Driving wise brake pedal is firm with lots of pad still, clutch pedal is crisp and no problems going thru gears. Car does'nt pull left or right on highway and shocks feel good. Wheels on car are 17' BBS RGR 1 piece with 95% tread Kumho tires. I am including OEM 16" BBS basketweave wheels that have old AVS Yoko's, however I have not located wheel center covers at this time. I will not accept offers before end of auction and won't do ppi because car could obviously use maintenance and tuneup with this mileage. Please call with any questions 803-261-6849 and I welcome any visitors to view car.

She's just a girl... who's an E28 fanatic

Tue, 02 Apr 2013

Ashley Rodriguez has a thing for the BMW E28. The amateur train photographer has owned over 15 of the cars in her brief lifetime, and says she's attracted to the old 5 Series because of how rare they are. All told, she's owned every variation of the E28 with the exception of the 2.4td, and the crew from Petrolicious recently stopped by to train their lenses on her most recent acquisition: a lovely M535i. The site's latest video, Rare Things, takes a closer look at just what draws Rodriguez to the E28 and how her passion for the cars has evolved over the years.
As usual, Petrolicious serves up plenty of gorgeous footage of the vintage German sedan, and anyone who's ever harbored an obsession over any one particular model can certainly hear a few chords ring true in Rodriguez's words. Check out the clip below to see what we mean.

BMW planning X4 M Performance diesel? [w/poll]

Wed, 04 Dec 2013

With the arrival of the new X4 in March, BMW will expand its crossover portfolio by one more model. But while some enthusiasts may have been disappointed by the news that the Bavarian automaker isn't likely to authorize an M version of the compact slantback crossover, this latest development could help bridge the gap.
Although the line used to be quite clear between standard BMWs and M models, Munich has been blurring it with the M Performance treatment. Those have included models like the M135i hatchback and M235i coupe, the diesel-powered M550d sedan and wagon and X5 and X6 M50d crossovers. Now word has it that BMW could follow a similar formula with the X4, creating a sub-M performance model.
What's more is that the X4 M Performance model could go diesel, following a similar formula that Audi undertook with its first performance crossover, the SQ5 TDI. The major difference here is that when Audi brought the SQ5 to these shores, it ditched the diesel for a gasoline engine. Could BMW do the same?
