NO RESERVE.

This car has been my project car since August of 2011. I like rebuilding cars. This car was in good mechanical condition, but was in sorry cosmetic shape, it is beautiful inside and out now. The list of work I have done fills many, many, posts on M3F. I know what I am doing, and I do it right, I have the means and I enjoy doing the work. The suspension has been completely rebuilt (finished March 2013) with all OEM rubber and every AKG reinforcement there is (RTABS, Rear Sway, Motor mounts). She rides on Koni SA and HR OE Sports. This is the BEST street suspension setup for the car. You can spend lots of money on coil overs but unless you are ready for near professional racing you probably can't do better. You will not have to spend a dime on the suspension for the next several years.


The tires have less than 10K miles on them.


The AC blows very cold.


The only niggling problem is the dreaded seat belt sensor light from the SRS. I replaced the sensor with a brand new one and problem persists. The light goes out after a minute or so. I chased it down for a few hours and after reading around the M3 forums about people that have had this particular demon for years I let it go. I don't really believe 20 year old airbags are going to function properly anyway. (I work with explosives for a living and have good reason to question this)


I have not had a CEL in the last 18 months. The engine runs great and the leak down numbers are all less than 3%. I was shocked at how low they were. The cooling system was completely rebuilt in 2011, including VSL Rad,Stewart Pump and all new hoses. The engine exhales through AA headers (not cheap e-bay knockoffs) Turner hi-flow cats and AA cat back exhaust. The valve cover has been powder coated. She has a Euro intake box with 3.5" MAF with Dinan tune.

Headlights are glass euro bosch units.

The biggest problem with the car is the odometer, it read 203K miles. I expect the car to go much further.  I have committed to buying a Lotus Elise so my M3 has to go.

BMW makes X7 in Spartanburg official

Fri, 28 Mar 2014

BMW has made it official - there will be a flagship crossover called X7, and it will be built right here in the US of A. The announcement was made today, confirming rumors of the new model at the Spartanburg, SC factory that broke earlier this week.
"Plant Spartanburg was built to enhance and expand the BMW lineup, underscoring the BMW Group commitment to the United States" said Dr. Norbert Reithofer, chairman of the BMW board of management in a statement. "In addition to the X3, X5, X6, and the new X4, we are today announcing another all-new, larger X model to be manufactured exclusively at this plant for our world markets: the X7."
BMW will spend $1 billion by 2016 upgrading its South Carolina factory, which already produces the X3, X5 and X6. The plant is currently capable of producing 300,000 units per year, but with the big investment from BMW, capacity will climb to 450,000 units. 800 jobs will be added as a result of the investment and new and upcoming models.

BMW may keep next 1 Series out of the US

Tue, 07 May 2013

As BMW prepares to introduce the all-new 2 Series coupe and convertible, the 1 Series name definitely won't be going away. We know new sedan and hatchback models are in the works; including the GT shown above. According to Car and Driver, though, the future of the 1 Series nameplate in the US could be dependent on rival premium small cars like the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class and Audi A3.
In an interview with C/D, BMW's North American head of product planning and strategy, Paul Ferraiolo, said that pricing might be the biggest deterrent to offering the third-gen 1 Series in the US. As he points out, BMW currently prices the 1 not too far from the 3 Series, but Mercedes-Benz and Audi will have their new small cars priced well below the $30,000 mark. BMW's Mini brand will also factor into the consideration since the 1 GT will share its underpinnings with the next-gen Cooper lineup.

2016 X6 M brings the power at LA show

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

BMW tore the cover off the second generation 2016 X6 M Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
BMW tuned the 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 to push out 567 horsepower, up from the last model's 555 hp. Torque also leaps to 553 pound feet, compared with the previous output of 500 lb-ft. The V8 is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, which swaps in for the old six-speed. This potent powertrain allows the crossover to hit 60 miles per hour in about four seconds.
The X6, which features slightly more dramatic styling and an angled rear roofline, debuted alongside the more conventionally styled 2016 BMW X5 M at the LA show.
