Bmw E30 M-technic S14 Convertible E30 M3 Conversion White Package on 2040-cars
Suwanee, Georgia, United States
This is one of my pride and joys since 1997 when I brought it. This is a rare 1992 e30 325ic M-Technic white package 5 spd car. I am the 3rd owner. Car has never seen snow or salt, always been a California and then Georgia car. NO rust at all. I brought the car from the BMW dealer in 1997 ( I still have the sale flyer) and have been the owner since. In 2008, I converted the car to full E30 M3 spec. It has a S14-4 cylinder engine, S14 5 spd transmission, M3 drive shaft and guibo, M3 shifter, M3 brake system, M3 5 bolt hubs and wheel bearings, e30 M3 struts/Bilstein sport shocks/H&R springs. The S14 has been converted to MAF metering from Split Second, It dramatically made much more torque and more h.p. So why did I replace the M20 6 cylinder engine with a S14 4 cylinder engine: because this is a E30, my other BMW is a 1991 e30 M3 coupe so this made a great companion to that car, and I had all this spare e30 M3 parts to put into this car. So I made this a full e30 M3 spec except for the body. Why didn’t I do a M3 body kit: because I didn’t want to make a e30 M3 cabrio replica exactly like the factory. I have been into E30 M3 since 1991 so I am VERY familiar with E30s and E30 M3s. If you ask around the E30 m3 community, most people know who I am. By starting with the white package M-Technic car, this is also a rare find. The interior was redone in OEM BMW ///M cloth- very rare and expensive as I had to source this fabric from BMW Germany. The steering wheel is very rare from a BMW Z1. You will never find another e30 with this steering wheel. The cluster is from e30 M3 except for the speedometer which is still 325i. Radio is a CD43 in dash CD player from a Z3. There are so many upgrades I have done to this car, some small, some big, some underneath the car, some on the exterior. See all the pictures at my web site. Little details like M-Technic door sills, M-technic badges, M3 EVO 3 hood seals. Samco silicone coolant hoses, real BMW accessory-center console armrest/cup holder, E30 wind deflector, under chassis X stiffener brace..….. The bad stuff: The electric top is now manual as the main rod is bent- I do have a new rod that will go with the car. The top itself is in decent shape, no holes on the fabric- I do clean and treat it every 6 months with special top cleaner and spray. The rear plastic window does have 2 cracks but it is pretty clear as I use plastic polish to keep it clear every year. I am including a brand new top with rear window with the sale of the car. During the previous owner, the left quarter panel has been replaced with factory BMW panel. Paint and fit is perfectly matched with the rest of the car. The car has some scratches here and there. See the pictures on the link below. The BBS RS wheels have all been restored by Metro wheels. ALL 6 wheels were taken apart and each piece polished or painted and re-assembled. All 6 wheels have Khumo tires 225-45-16 tires in decent shape. 2 of the 6 wheels did hit a curb so it has curb rash on the outer rim. I am also including a 7th BBS RS wheel that is un-restored. So you will have 7 BBS RS wheels!!! The gas gauge is not accurate, engine oil leak @ chain tensioner, missing left front brake cooling duct

BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe and Concept 90 pics from Villa d'Este
Thu, 30 May 2013Royalty and the ultra-wealthy rubbed damp shoulders at this past weekend's Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este on the shores of Italy's Lake Como, but even the rain couldn't extinguish the excitement generated by the millions of dollars of cars and bikes on display. Nowhere was this more true than with BMW, which marked the occasion with the reveal of two stunning concepts with six wheels between them - the shark-nosed Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe and the retrosexual Concept 90 motorcycle.
Conceived with Italian design house Pininfarina, the Gran Lusso Coupe is a power broker on 21-inch wheels. While we're not completely sold on every element of its design, this twelve-cylinder two-door concept moves us more than the current 6 Series, and not just because it has four more cylinders underhood and 48,000-year-old kauri wood paneling inside. BMW is sadly mum on production hopes, but we're not entirely optimistic - the company has graced us with a number of attractive concepts at Villa d'Este before, only to pack them away again without ever affording them a production future.
If one of these concepts has a better shot at finding its way into dealers, we have to believe it's the Concept 90 under the BMW Motorrad umbrella. Designed to celebrate the 40th anniversary of BMW's R 90 S, we think this Roland Sands Design air-cooled boxer would look fantastic on today's streets, especially with the rising popularity of vintage motorcycles and cafe racers.
X4 launch to spearhead BMW crossover onslaught at NY Auto Show
Mon, 30 Dec 2013It's no secret that crossovers are one of the key vehicle types driving today's auto industry profits, and nowhere is that more true than among the world's luxury brands. BMW became one of the first players in the luxury CUV segment when it launched its original X5 in 1999, and buoyed by that model's runaway success, it followed up with the X3 in 2003, the X6 in 2008 and the X1 in 2009 (though the latter didn't make it to the US until late 2012). It's replaced the X5 twice since then and the X3 once, but the Bavarian automaker isn't about to let matters rest there.
First off, a production version of a new X4 model is expected at the New York Auto Show in April. The model was previously rumored to be earmarked for reveal a month earlier, but a new report from Autocar suggests that the previously mooted reveal date and location were inaccurate. The X4 is expected to apply the same controversial slant-back formula to the X3 that transformed the X5 into the X6, which will in turn lead to an update for the X3 as well.
But that's not all. Autocar also reports that before 2014 is out, BMW will unveil a revised X6 at the Moscow Motor Show in August, which will in turn be followed by upgraded versions of both the X6 M and X5 M. These high-performance crossovers are tipped to pack the same 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 as the outgoing versions, albeit with higher outputs than the current models' 555 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque. All this, and they're still expected to simultaneously improve fuel consumption and emissions figures.
BMW 2 Series specs leaked?
Wed, 09 Oct 2013Thanks to spy shots from earlier in the year, we already know what the new BMW 2 Series will look like, but now we know a lot more about the coupe courtesy of an apparent BMW South Africa error and some quick-clicking enthusiasts. Though the information no longer appears to be posted on BMW's South African website, 2addicts.com managed to grab most of the details for the new coupe, including the model lineup, specs and most (if not all) of the options list for the upcoming replacement for the 1 Series.
Just like the latest 3 Series, the 2 Series model lineup starts at the 220i powered by a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder, but the more exciting BMW figures to be the M235i with its 320-hp, 3.0-liter straight-six. With the automatic transmission, the info says that the M235i weights 3,240 pounds and will be able to accelerate from 0-62 miles per hour in 4.8 seconds - making it both lighter and quicker than the 135is currently offered in the US. The base 220i coupe should also be fun to drive with its 180 horsepower and sub-3,000 pound curb weight.
A quick side-by-side comparison of the dimensions for the base 220i with our current base 128i shows that the new coupe rides on a longer wheelbase (105.9 in. vs. 104.7 in.), is about two inches longer (174.4 in. vs. 172.2 in.) and is an inch wider (69.8 in. vs. 68.8 in.). 2addicts.com even shows available paint colors, interior trim options and lists pricing for South African-spec models. Head on over to the forum to check out all the info they have posted, but we expect the 2 Series to be unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show early next year.
