E30 M3 Race Car - New Build - VIN - WBSAK0304J2195402
History - Car was purchased out of Arizonia about 2 years ago with a cage installed. All running gear was out of the car. The body was sent to the body shop for fresh exterior and interior painting while the motor, trans, and diff rebuilt/replaced. All bushing were removed and replaced with new. Rear sub frame was removed and weld in inserts for camber/castor adjustments were installed. After painting the engine, trans, and diff were reinstalled. A custom chip was mapped with 93 octane fuel. Existing barn door AFM was utilized as was thinking of going into BMW M3T class. The car has been taken out for (2) shake down days and ran very well. Had solid engine and tranny mounts and switched back to the hard bushings (less vibration thru the chassis). The car hooks up in turns better than any car that I have driven. The differential is awesome and comes with finned Z3 cover. The car has safety switch cutoff and push buttons start. Lots of gauges for feedback on the track - oil temp, water temp, oil pressure, and Air/Fuel Meter. The items remaining for final race readiness are the installing the replacing the window net and center net and roll bar padding. The car has tons of high performance parts and would be a front runner. Please let me know if there are any questions.

- All brakes completely rebuilt, ABS still installed.
- Car has been corner balanced and aligned.
- Weight is around 2400 w/o driver.
Build recently completed after (2) years of assembling parts and getting work professionally performed. Engine rebuilt by The Power Plant Racing. As it has not been raced during my ownership and after build, the car will need a log book, center, window nets installed, and roll bar padding. Front and rear lexan windows are not perfect and have some scratches. Side lexan windows are brand new. Front has some slight cracking of the lexan around the curve.
Comes with (1) sets of 15"x8" kosei wheels and (1) 16" revolution wheels with full tread tires for rain. This car is very fast and handles great. I would estimate that this car that with new rubber would run sub 2:14s at VIR full coure.
Please let me know if there are any questions. Thanks for looking!

BMW 2 Series shows us its insides
Tue, 16 Apr 2013We've already seen the upcoming BMW 2 Series testing in both coupe and convertible body styles, and now we're getting our first glimpse inside the new entry-level coupe. Judging by the sportier exterior that we've seen in previous spy shots, this car appears to be equipped with an M-Sport package, so this is likely not what the base interior will look like.
Compared to the current 1 Series, this new coupe will have cleaner cabin design including fewer buttons on the center stack and an instrument panel with more of a dual-brow design. This car has cloth seats with what appears to be a suede-like accent trim and blue stitching, and the seat's pattern is mimicked on the door panel. The 2 Series will also have a better integrated iDrive controller that operates the widescreen display mounted atop the instrument panel in a similar fashion as what we've seen recently on the Mercedes-Benz A-Class and CLA-Class.
As mentioned about the exterior, the bigger wheels, blue brake calipers, dual exhaust outlet and subtle decklid spoiler all lead us to believe that this is the M-Sport, but it isn't sporty enough - inside or out - to make us think this is the rumored M2 model.
Alex Zanardi back in the driver's seat with BMW
Tue, 21 Jan 2014If there's ever been an inspirational story in the pantheon of motor racing history, surely it's that of Alessandro Zanardi. The Italian driver worked his way up the motor racing ladder, making it into Formula One and winning two CART championships for Chip Ganassi Racing back before the series re-merged into IndyCars. Tragedy struck in 2001 when he lost both his legs in a crash at the Lausitzring in Germany, but rather than accept his fate, Alex pushed on. Fitted with prosthetic limbs, he learned to drive a racing car with hand controls and got back in the driver's seat.
Zanardi drove for BMW in the European Touring Car Championship and then in the World Touring Car Championship that replaced it, landing on the podium several times despite his physical disadvantage. He left racing in 2009 to train for the Paralympics, winning two gold medals in London, but Alex apparently couldn't shake the racing bug. BMW modified one of its M3 DTM racers with hand controls for him to test later that year. And now he's returning to motor racing full time.
BMW has just announced that Zanardi will be driving a Z4 GT3 in the Blancpain Sprint Series, the successor to the FIA GT Series and short-distance counterpart to the Blancpain Endurance Series. The car has been modified with the hand controls the Bavarian automaker's racing department fitted to the aforementioned M3 DTM and will be fielded by the ROAL Motorsport team with which Alex challenged for the European Touring Car Championship last decade.
BMW M3, M4 let loose on the 'Ring
Wed, 24 Jul 2013We just posted our first drive of the 2014 BMW 435i yesterday, but for those wanting even more power from this stylish coupe, help is on the way. From the sounds of it, BMW will be showing off a production-ready concept previewing the M4 next month at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, but until then, we have some new spy shots of the performance coupe being tested at the Nürburgring, along with its four-door counterpart, the M3.
Despite all the camouflage, it doesn't take much imagination to picture what both cars will look like, since we can clearly see the more aggressive front fascia and beefier brake setup. One interesting element we see on both cars is a double bubble roof that is almost certainly made from carbon fiber. Based on our report earlier, both the M4 Coupe and M3 Sedan are expected to debut at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.
