1988 Bmw M3 Base Coupe 2-door 2.3l on 2040-cars
Jamaica, New York, United States
|
Thank you for checking out my 1988 BMW E30 M3. The E30 M3 in my opinion is by far the best M3 ever made. This is a fine example of a mostly original M3 that has never been raced, mistreated or been in any accidents. Below I have made a brief outline of the condition.
EXTERIOR - The car was repainted by a reputable shop and is currently in excellent condition. It was just fully detailed and looks amazing. - Body is straight as can be. - Absolutely No Rust - Wheels are original and in very good condition. - Tires have about 60% tread left INTERIOR - The car has it's original tan interior. The interior is in excellent shape with no tears, marks, rips or excessive wear. To make it showroom the interior could be refinished but that's totally up to the new owner. - All gauges, lights, doors, windows and electrical is in good working order. - Odometer is accurate and is fully functional. MOTOR & TRANS - Original S14 Motor was just refreshed last year and has less than 200 miles on it. Parts replaced include JE pistons, timing chain, timing guide, head gasket set, oil pump, water pump, lower engine gasket set, intake air flow sensor, rod bearings and main bearings. Also the head was serviced and the valves were resealed. The block is now bored to fit the larger 94mm pistons. - Original Getrag 5 Speed transmission is in excellent shape and shifts smoothly. CHASSIS - Completely Rust Free. Absolutely Solid HIGHLIGHTS - No Accidents - Vin tags on every panel except passenger side front panel. Vin tags everywhere else including above the tool set and behind both the driver side and passenger side rear side markers. SUGGESTIONS - Suspension could use tightening. Drives fine but if you really want to let it rip you would benefit from having the suspension upgraded. - Interior is 100% original and hasn't been re-tinted. Depending on how original you'd like to stay you may or may not want to touch the interior. - Super Sprint exhaust is currently installed. You may want to go back to the original exhaust if you prefer. This is a 1988 E30 M3 and is eligible for historic registration. Please check with your local DMV for guidelines. I have tried to outline the car the best I could however I realize that you may have questions. Please ask as many questions as you'd like before bidding. As this is a classic I definitely recommend a PPI before purchase, this is an AS IS sale and all sales are final. You are more than welcome to setup a time with me to see it in person and take it for a test drive (deposit required before driving). ** Please note the Autocheck in not accurate, apparently there was some documentation confusion back in the late 90's. This is a no accident vehicle. The Carfax is 100% clean, feel free to run a report or email me for mine ** |

BMW won't build M4 Gran Coupe
Fri, 04 Jul 2014Over the last few years, it feels like BMW has looked at its lineup and decided to offer a vehicle in every possible segment that it can find, no matter how small. The company is finally showing some restraint, though, at least when it comes to the high performance M division. For example, don't expect to see an M4 Gran Coupe at your local BMW dealer in the future.
M GmbH sales chief Jörg Bartels told Cars Guide in Australia, "It was definitely considered, but there is no plan to build an M4 Gran Coupe." The sport sedan just wouldn't make financial sense, he said. BMW already builds the M3 and M4 at separate factories, adding a third for such a niche model would be too much. Plus, the M3 already fills out the segment.
If you wanted an M model with a bit more storage space in the back, Bartels dashed those dreams, as well. He said that there isn't an M3 Gran Turismo hatchback in the pipeline, either.
Will global automakers drop local JV partners if China's government says they can?
Wed, 02 Jul 2014Chinese economic policies could be in for a big change, as President Xi Jinping pushes the communist country to open its domestic markets even further. That could mean big things for the auto industry, especially when it comes to the country's far-reaching joint-venture system.
According to Chinese law, foreign automakers may only maintain a fifty-fifty partnership with their domestic counterparts. But with Jinping's push for openness leading to potential free-trade deals, that policy could be relaxed (or eradicated all together) in short order. What's an automaker to do?
Well, in BMW's case, stay the course. Automotive News Europe reports that, despite the grumblings about the JV policy changes, the German manufacturer has resigned its agreement with Brilliance through 2028. This is made doubly remarkable by the fact that BMW signed the extension over three years before it was set to expire.
BMW unleashes 160-hp S 1000 R streetfighter motorcycle
Wed, 06 Nov 2013BMW Motorrad released the S 1000 RR superbike in 2010, but for those who'd like to take it down a (small) notch, the German motorcycle maker introduced the 2014 S 1000 R, a slightly less-ballsy version of the range-topping superbike, at EICMA on Tuesday.
In its transformation from 193-horsepower superbike to 160-hp sportbike, BMW detuned the 999cc inline four-cylinder engine a bit by lowering the redline from 13,000 RPM to 11,000 RPM, where peak power is made. Torque is rated at "approximately" 83 pound-feet (the RR makes 82.5 lb-ft), but more importantly, engineers tweaked the torque delivery in the R's favor by redesigning the cylinder-head ducts, modifying the camshaft profiles and reprogramming the engine management system. The result is seven lb-ft more torque than the RR up to 7,500 RPM. The R's torque peak occurs at 9,250 RPM.
The bike comes standard with ASC (automatic stability control) and "Race" ABS. Riders can choose between two modes, "Road" and "Rain," which adjust ABS and ASC settings to suit dry or wet roads. DTC (dynamic traction control) is available as an option, and with two modes, "Dynamic" and "Dynamic Pro," the system optimizes traction and helps riders achieve maximum acceleration.
