1995 Bmw M3 - Bostongrun/champagne, 36.5k Miles on 2040-cars

US $17,500.00
Year:1995 Mileage:36500 Color: /Champagne leather interior

Hello!  Regretfully selling my 1995 M3 Boston Green/Champagne coupe with only 36.5k mi.  Here are the specs:

- Boston Green exterior/Champagne leather interior
- automatic transmission
- luxury package (includes luxury seats, wood dash panels and different front bumper)
- brand new floor mats (I have the originals - still in great shape)
- currently ~36,500mi

The car is completely stock and 100% original- it has never been tracked, raced, or modified in any way. I am the third owner, although CarFax shows a 4th due to the car being transferred to an estate following the death of the original owner. The car was originally purchased as a custom order in Palm Springs, CA and driven in both California and Arizona. I purchased the car from an enthusiast who sold to to make way for his new Nissan GT-R.

The car has always been garaged, and the paint is excellent. The body is very straight and without any dings, dents, or scratches. Their is, however, a minor etch in the clear coat from a bird dropping on the roof- approximately the size of a nickel. All moldings, corner indicators, fogs, taillights and headlights have remained crystal clear and the plastic guards beneath the front bumper cover are all intact. The wheels are in average shape due to parallel parking mishaps from the original owner.

The interior in this car is in unbelievable condition. Champagne leather is fairly unique/rare and goes well with the luxury seats (these are not "Vaders") and the Bostongrun exterior. The leather is in remarkable shape and feels very soft- no cracks, discoloration or scuffs. Rear and passenger seat are in nearly unused and perfect condition. Some small wear exists on the driver side seat bolster (please see the photos)- I use a seat cover and regularly clean the seats. Headliner, carpets and mats (brand new, but I have the originals) are in top shape and without any stains or markings. Further, all the electronic components on the dash function and automatic seats adjust in all directions.

The engine is very smooth and quiet and the VANOS engages and disengages properly. The car handles well and the automatic transmission shifts perfectly and each mode- sport, economy, and manual. Comes with a cover, all factory tools, and the original spare. The car has always been maintained properly and all fluids are current.  R
ecent maintenance with all OEM fluids/parts (except as noted): engine oil (Redline 10W-40) and filter, intake filter, coolant, water pump (Stewart, aluminum impeller), thermostat, both accessory drive belts, power steering (Redline ATF), differential fluid (Redline 75W90), brake fluid flush, and fuel filter.  I have records dating back to the second owner, but nothing prior except the original keys (including valet), owners manual, and demo cassette tape.  All early records were lost during the transfer to the estate. The tires are Yokohama S Drive with ~30% remaining.

Inspections, at buyer expense, are welcome. If you are local, I would encourage you to come to see the car in person. Will ship anywhere. If you are looking for a very well cared for, low mileage, outstanding E36 M3, this is it.
Car is located in beautiful, sunny San Diego, CA.  Many thanks for your interest!

Former BMW M boss and Maserati CEO killed in freak motorcycle accident

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

It's a tragic coincidence that on the same weekend the BMW M4 Coupe Concept was introduced in Monterey, one of the men most integral to BMW's M and Motorsports divisions, Karl-Heinz Kalbfell, was killed in England. Kalbfell, a vintage motorcycle enthusiast, was set to compete in the Lansdowne Classic Series at Brands Hatch and had an accident during a practice session. After going wide at Druids Corner and falling, he was hit by a competitor following close behind and died of his injuries after being transported to hospital.
Kalbfell, an engineer, began his career at BMW in 1977 in the communications department; a decade later he was chairman of BMW M GmbH, overseeing development of some of the cars responsible for the myth of M. In 1994 he was named chairman of BMW Motorsport, and his cap full of feathers includes getting the BMW V12 into the McLaren F1, getting the BMW V8 into two Morgan cars, along with developing BMW's Formula One engine and return to the sport. Not incidentally, he also assumed leadership of Project Rolls-Royce after BMW bought the British marque in 1998, which means he oversaw the Goodwood factory upfit and the creation of the Phantom.
He left Rolls-Royce for a brief stint at Fiat, heading Alfa Romeo and Maserati, then went into consulting for clients like Lotus and Paragon, who built the Artega GT. As Autocar notes, Kalbfell "had an abiding sense that customers needed to be attracted to cars by their aura and reputation, not just their engineering." He will be missed.

Totally uncovered BMW M3 caught by helmet cam

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

Sure, we've seen - and even ridden in - the 2015 BMW M3 before, but always under the cover of camouflage. Proving that it's always nice to be in the right place at the right time, a motorcyclist managed to capture a completely undisguised 2015 M3 (codenamed F80) on video during a closed-road photo shoot.
Road & Track has the helmet cam video, which shows the bright blue M3 doing a three-point turn as it follows a camera car possibly for an upcoming commercial or launch video. While the images are grainy, we do get to see some of the styling details for the next-gen M3. Aside from the extra set of doors, this M3 looks a lot like the Concept M4 Coupe we met a few months ago, including the bulging hood, oddly shaped door mirrors and the wide, vented front fenders. The aggressive fascia, big wheels/low-profile tires and quad exhaust outlets all but confirm this is the production M3 we'll be seeing at the Detroit Auto Show in a couple of months.
We've put together a gallery using screen shots from the video, but check out the video posted below to see the new M3 in motion.

BMW, Mini aim to sell million cars off new FWD platform

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

Mini sold 301,526 cars in 2012; BMW sold 1.54 million of its own models. According to a piece in Autocar, analysts say the coming UKL1 platform that will form the skeleton of the third-generation Mini Cooper and coming front-wheel drive BMW 1 Series could be responsible for "more than 900,000 cars per year" all by itself.
That sale fire is fueled by the UKL1 wearing up to twenty-three bodies in total between the two brands, 11 for Mini and 12 for BMW, rendering hatchbacks, sedans, coupes, convertibles, wagons, crossovers and people-haulers from about 12.5 feet to 14.5 feet. In April the VP of Mini USA said we might find some current models don't make it to a next generation, but a graphic accompanying the Autocar story has them all there. If it's correct, then those 23 models will only base model lines and don't account for different engines and four-wheel-drive options for each model.
The big changes that would perhaps mean big sales for the Mini line are a five-door hatch with two smaller rear doors for children, the sedan talked about last year for Asian markets and an MPV perhaps wearing the "Traveler" name that could send the Countryman in a more SUV-like direction.
