1995 Cosmos Black E36 Obdi(s50) Bmw M3 Base Coupe 2-door 3.0l on 2040-cars
Dupont, Washington, United States
|
Hello fellow enthusiasts/E-bay surfers, I'm
putting my prized OBDI E36 M3 up for sale for the sole reason that I am
moving to Germany in 3 months and I cannot take it with me. That is
also the reason I am asking for such a low price, because I don't have
much time haggle prices. Shoot me an offer! Runs and drives like a dream, and the exterior is in amazing condition, especially for it's age! Just a few minor chips and scratches. Nothing major, all from age and previous owners. No missing parts. Surprisingly well kept leather interior all around. The driver seat is pretty much the only seat that shows age wear and it's not by much. The last owner ran a garage, so he had everything he needed to take really great care of it. I am the third owner and I have put just as much pride into the M3 as the previous ones. For most of the time I've owned it, it has been stored in the
garage when not driven. It was at 218,XXX miles when I bought it. It is currently at 233,107 miles and well maintained and kept.
Obviously being almost 2 decades old took it's naturally expected toll
on a handful of the OEM parts and workings, so I did a few good system
overhauls and part replacement/upgrades! If anyone has any questions on
what OEM/aftermarket work and tuning has been performed please feel free
to ask. That being said I'll get into the pros and cons lists of my
baby. PROS: -New rear tires: 235/40ZR-17 Sumitomo HTR Z II (500 miles) (Super Grabby!) -UUC steel clutch line (3,XXX miles) -UUC delrin clutch pedal bushings (3,XXX miles) -Cross-drilled rotors (19, XXX miles) -Bilstein shocks from TMS (19,XXX miles) -New slave AND master clutch cylinders (3,XXX miles) -Radiator (5,XXX miles) -Water pump (5,XXX miles) -Alternator (5,XXX miles) -Fan Delete "Mod" (800 miles) -Low temp thermostat (800 miles) -Both belts and all pulley wheels (800 miles) -Euro Air Box w/ snorkel -Euro 3.5" MAF (10,XXX miles) -TMS engine chip (500 miles) -SSI Stealth Undershield -Euro clear corner lights, tail lights, and side markers -Stealth Auto's chromed light bulbs in all turn signals -Self made clutch stop -Euro Samco intake boot (500 miles) -New OEM hood shocks -Brand new OEM fog lights (glass) -Newer style BMW Badges (painted) for both hood AND trunk (no more pesky sticker emblems that chip away) -Recently replaced headlight control switch -Freshly painted valve cover (Flat Black/High Temp) -Heated/ Fully Automatic Seats -Automatic Sunroof -OEM Wood Interior Trim -Original BMW multi-disc CD changer w/ spare disc cartridges -All interior lights recently replaced, including odometer, radio, A/C controls, and OBD -I just removed all the old faded tint from probably 1995, so the windows are fresh and clear -A LOT of extra goodies come with it. -OEM Spare M-Contour Rim (no tire/never used) -Euro 3.5" Comforti C/F Intake -US Air Box -US MAF -Extra ///M badge -OEM Engine Fan -US intake boot(x2) -All original Manuals, window sticker, and leather bound BMW binder for all your paperwork CONS(not many): -Paint: just a few minor chips/scratches, nothing major -Driver seat release cable is broken at the very end, so it doesn't manually release forward. It has been this way since before i owned it. It's an easy fix, but I haven't had any need to get around to it. -JUST recently the passenger side window motor has decided to work when it wants to. The window only gets stuck up, not down. Super annoying, but all it needs is a new passenger window motor and it'll be fine. As far as shipping goes, buyer are responsible for pick up/transportation. If buyer is within a 150 mile radius, I am willing to arrange a meeting/drop-off. I can work with pretty much any mode of payment. Cash in hand is ALWAYS preferred though. |

BMW Vision Future Luxury Concept is bold and beautiful in Beijing
Sun, 20 Apr 2014BMW officially unveiled the Vision Future Luxury Concept today (or is it tomorrow?) at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show, giving the world's media an in-the-flesh look at not only a future design theme for the brand, but a rumored flagship model.
This is a looker in person, thanks to its Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe-inspired design, and it's not too difficult to imagine it in production car form, with smaller wheels, larger mirrors and the other minor transformations that take place from drawing board, to auto show and, finally, to assembly line. In general, it seems like there are more than a few parts of this vehicle that are ready for production.
We didn't talk about it in our initial post, but it bears mentioning that this particular concept is wearing an eDrive badge on its backside, indicating that under the Vision Future Luxury's long hood is some form of plug-in-hybrid propulsion. It's anyone's guess as to what engine, battery and motor combinations BMW is playing with, although it does seem questionable whether BMW would launch a PHEV flagship to do battle with a top-rung variant of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class (which will likely use V12 power).
BMW starts Apple-like "Genius" program to explain tech
Wed, 20 Feb 2013Even workaday cars are so capable now that even most auto scribes don't truly find out about a car's limits until a professional driver shows them what they are. It's the same with a vehicle's suite of features and the technology inside - there's so much of it that most people will have no idea what their cars can offer them. BMW is the latest company to make a personal effort to change that, introducing "young, tech-savvy employees" to dealerships as part of its "BMW Genius Everywhere" initiative.
Having no part in the actual sale of a vehicle, a BMW Genius is present on the showroom floor only to answer questions about the company's products and their features. If the customer decides to buy, he is transferred to a salesperson. A pilot program in the UK proved its effectiveness, it will now be rolled out across Europe and then come to the United States toward the end of this year in time for the launch of the i3. Details are still being worked out, but each BMW dealer will have at least one Genius.
For assistance that doesn't require visiting the auto mall, BMW is also putting vehicle and feature tutorials on its US website to "make our knowledge about our brand more interesting and more accessible to the consumer." They will appear online sometime in the latter half of the year, and will also be bundled into iPhone and iPad apps.
Why BMW doesn't plan to integrate Apple's iOS in the Car
Wed, 12 Jun 2013While watching Apple introduce iOS in the Car during its WWDC keynote on Monday, we wondered how automakers, even the 14 who've already signed up to integrate this new in-car functionality of iOS 7, will feel about having the Cupertino company's mobile operating system supplant their own in-car systems. After all, some OEMs like Ford, General Motors and many luxury automakers have sunk millions of dollars into developing their own advanced infotainment, navigation and communication platforms like MyFord Touch, CUE and older systems like iDrive.
One automaker has now spoken up. A BMW spokeperson was interviewed by someone in the news department of British auto dealer group Arnold Clark and confirmed that the company would not be getting in line to integrate iOS in the Car anytime soon. The reason, as we suspected, is that BMW believes its own products developed over the last decade are both plenty good and already so deeply integrated with other systems of the car that, as told to Arnold Clark, "it would not be that straightforward to start changing all of the architecture of a car as has been implied [by Apple]."
While BMW isn't interested in spending more money to integrate Apple's services and functionality over its own, it has spent a good bit already to integrate iPhone functionality in its cars, including the relatively rare ability to support iPod Out and display Apple's own interface on Mini models with the optional Mini Connected feature, as well as committing to integrate Siri 'Eyes Free' functionality.
