Overall
the car is pretty clean. There's a few scratches on the paint all around, and
rock chips on the bumper, definitely need a nice wax/polish/claybar
treatment. |
Interior is clean too, driver
side door arm rest is worn and passenger side a pillar at the bottom starting
to wrinkle a little, but nothing torn. |
I bought this car here in
Houston from the 3rd owner, iirc on carfax it only lists 2 owners before me.
(I have the carfax pdf I can email) |
But PO used to travel a lot
and put highway miles on the car, and sold it to me cause he was moving to
Canada. |
My plan was to prep this car
to compete in NASA Time Trials (TTB), and may have over extended myself on
this project….considering a few options now. |
To be competitive in TTB, car
will need a few more parts to maximize points and I have the breakdown of
what can be added, depending on your driving style. |
I can of course add/subtract
any mods from the list….except the engine work. |
The rod bearing upgrade was
done as preventive maintenance, as I knew I would be tracking a lot. |
I've only done 1 track day
with the car, car has a lot of top end power, pulls strong till 8000 rpms,
suspension will need fine tuning, I'm going to add more negative camber up
front to see if the midturn/exit understeer goes away. |
Everything works on the
car…there's a few rattles here and there with such a stiff suspension. |
Car was recently aligned and
corner balanced - car weighs 3362lbs with half tank gas, front/rear balance
50/50, cross balance 49.9/50.1. |
Most of the main work (engine
and reinforcements) were done at Greg Smith Racing @ Dallas, TX. |
All parts installed above are
brand new - except for the kidney/side grille. There are other small parts
replaced too like screws/clips/clamps etc. |

Last month, we went behind the scenes of the filming of BMW's new Driftmob, web video, bringing you one post from the practice sessions, and another from the shoot itself, which took place in an enormous traffic circle in Cape Town, South Africa. Today, BMW has launched the final version of Driftmob, and it's pretty damn cool. The plot is pretty simple: just like a flashmob, in which people invade a location and perform choreographed dances to music, much to the delight of surprised onlookers, the "driftmob" features a quintet of red M235i coupes that take over a traffic circle and perform choreographed dances - sideways - to the delight of onlookers. The only differences are that, in this case, the onlookers are mostly paid extras (though there were many unwitting passersby that joined the crowd at times) and the only music is a constant squealing of tires-a sweet song if we ever heard one. Then, after about two minutes of tire-smoking shenanigans, the coupes vanish. As promised, we will have a more detailed, behind the scenes story about the filming of the video, including insights from Rhys Millen, Samuel Hübinette, Dai Yoshihara, Rich Rutherford, and Conrad Grunewald, the five guys who executed these remarkable stunts. Meanwhile, we hope you enjoy the short flick.

We know a number of BMW owners who reside in the Munich brand's core demographic - upper-five- and six-figure professionals who like to keep their automotive brand credentials as highly respected among their peers as their alma maters or the letters after their names. Before heading to Las Vegas to drive the new M235i, we asked four of those owners, "What did you think of the E30 3 Series?" Although phrased differently, every one of them had the same answer: "What's that?" You can counter that we just happened to query a tiny and ignorant sample size, and it's possible that you're right. Nevertheless, in every case,we were speaking to BMW's core demographic, the increasing legion of buyers who have fostered another year of record growth and are responsible for BMW retaining its global luxury title for nine straight years. Question that, and we'll refer you to BMW's marketing department, its several hundred PowerPoint slides and several thousand pages of research that prove the point. That second-generation E30 3 Series built a name, a brand and an entire segment by defining BMW-ness as superlative driving dynamics meets luxury - shortened to the phrase, "The Ultimate Driving Machine." Thirty years later, just being a part of BMW-ness and luxury is enough for the majority of buyers. The superlative handling, that's optional, and 150 hairy guys meet every Tuesday to keep the old religion going, light torches, sing dirges to the siren long gone and bang on their keyboards about the apostasies of modern buyers.

We can't help but use this time of year to look back at the days before and reminisce about friends who are no longer in our lives. For The List, Jessi and Patrick were often joined by a little, red BMW 3 Series that, at times, felt like a third host of the show. Having been bought used for just a thousand bucks, the red BMW proved to be surprisingly durable. Through jumps, dunks and monster trucks, it remained our little trooper 'till the very end, and on the way taught us all how important a faithful four-wheeled companion is to the life's work of completing one's automotive bucket list. For our last episode of The List in 2013, we give you The Red BMW - A Retrospective. Have an RSS feed? Click here to add The List.
