1991 Bmw 325i Base Convertible 2-door 2.5l on 2040-cars
Chicago, Illinois, United States
|
I have owned this car for 2 years, it was driven as a daily driver. when purchased I replaced the brakes, tie rod ends and control arms, stabilizer links, front wheel bearings, all belts and hoses. this car has had regular oil and filter changes, 2 trans fluid changes, 1 coolant change, a valve adjustment, major tune up, and a new blower motor. most of the work was done by myself, I have receipts of all parts and services. there are some flaws with this vehicle, it is 23 years old, but for its age it is a fine base to start a full restoration on a e30. engine is strong, no oil leaks. the interior needs some attention as the seats are showing their age. the body is solid and does have some minor dings (as shown in pics). driver side quarter has some rust at very bottom, passenger side has two small bubbles starting. the driver doors has a small dent from a parking lot incident (hard to see in pics, and physically in front of car but it is there). The mileage shown is not accurate, the odometer stop working last fall and I estimate the car has about 160k. The top is in fair condition and window is clear with no cracks. I have driven this car to many car shows, I had planned on a full restore, I have a 1989 that is fully restored to original specs, I wanted to make this a e30 m3 vert, but money prevented that restoration. after the auction ends, Buyer will need to leave a 500.00 deposit, and complete funds upon pick up of car. Local pick up only. if buyer can arrange transportation I will assist to best of my ability.

2014 BMW 4 Series
Tue, 23 Jul 2013Because Four Is Greater Than Three
Say what you will about the name 4 Series, there is a method to BMW's madness. On one hand, it's easy enough to just buy into the logic that odd numbers are reserved for sedans and wagons, and that even numbers are reserved for coupes and convertibles. On the other hand, consider the idea that the higher numbers are used to separate the more dynamic, more engaging vehicles that use the same platform. It's that sort of separation that differentiates the 6 Series so nicely from its 5 Series roots, after all. And if we're being cynical, it also allows BMW to charge a bit more money for its lower-volume offerings.
So with the new two-door version of the 3 Series, BMW has gone the route of strengthening the dynamic virtues of its F30 chassis to create a car that's more removed from its sedan kin than one might think. And after spending some time with the new 4 Series on the roads around Lisbon, Portugal, as well as the famous Circuito do Estoril racetrack, it's increasingly clear that calling this car a 3 Series Coupe simply wouldn't be fair.
Road & Track names its 2013 Performance Car of the Year
Thu, 14 Nov 2013Road & Track recently staged its first annual Performance Car of the Year test, pitting 13 new and updated performance cars against each other on track, then graduating the top six to a road test before picking a winner. Additionally, the magazine staff picked the best automobiles of the year in eight categories.
But first, let's cover the PCotY segment. Here's the list of cars brought to the comparison test: Audi R8 V10 Plus; BMW 435i; BMW M6 Competition Package; Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51; Ferrari F12 Berlinetta; Ford Fiesta ST; Jaguar F-Type V8 S; Jaguar XFR-S; Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model Wagon; Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series; Mini John Cooper Works GP; Nissan GT-R Track Edition; and Porsche Cayman S.
To find out the results of the comparison, head over to Road & Track's website or check the press release below, where you'll also find the magazine's top-rated vehicles in eight categories. Want more? Head over to the 2013 PCotY hub. But before you do that, take a stab at guessing the winner of PCotY (we'll give you one hint: it isn't a Porsche).
Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
