BMW E30 Turbo M3 Tribute. Powered by a 2.5L turbo 6 cylinder engine with a full custom exhaust and intercooler. The engine has a megasquirt ECU and despite only running 6psi of boost dynos at 240 hp at the wheel. The cold air intake is fully custom with removal of high beam lights and velocity stack openings created. Very custom and unique. Additional boost and ECU tuning (Megasquirts are fully tunable with a laptop) should yield well over 300 hp. The bottom end is a stock rebuild but the head has gotten the full treatment. (ported and polished, heavier springs, cams, etc) less than 1000 miles on build. This e30 has a five speed and limited slip differential.

The car is extensively lightened with carbon fiber. The hood, deck lid, wing and wicker, sunroof, race mirrors, grill, eyebrows,rear filler panel, splitter, dash, and center console are all carbon fiber. The center console is a one off piece. The rear seat has been removed and in its place a body color painted half cage has been fabricated. The cage is as beautiful as it is stout and rigid. The race seats are also carbon fiber and have five point race harnesses. The steering wheel is on a quick release. The front has a tow hook so the car is ready for the track for driver education days or track days.

The suspension is lowered and it is a fully adjustable Koni coil over set up. The car sits on ESM wheels and Toyo R888s race tires 245/45/16 front and rear. The ride height is aggressive and has the perfect stance. The car should be aligned before using on track.

This car was built as a SEMA display car for Eurostop USA and has been to the SEMA show twice. It has also been featured in several magazines. I recently took it to a car show and won the people's choice trophy. It had a constant crowd around it the whole day. It is truly an attention getter and is well built. The car is gorgeous and aggressive. Powerful and light. It would make an awesome show car or track car. Or it is perfect for someone who wants the M3 look for half the price.

I will assist with shipping. The car is in my personal collection and is located in central CT. As with any auction no warranties are expressed or implied and car is sold as is. $500 deposit is due within 48 hours of auction end and full payment due within 10 days of auction end. Car must be picked up within 10 days unless prior arrangements are made. Car is available for viewing with notice. Please ask your wife, girlfriend, boss etc before you bid. Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Bid early and often and good luck. This car will certainly be the envy of your friends!

VW Golf R pitted against BMW M235i in enthusiast's choice battle

Fri, 15 Aug 2014

Most people don't have two, open spots in their garage to fit a practical daily driver and a fire-breathing performance car for the weekends. That's what makes vehicles like the latest Volkswagen Golf R and BMW M235i just about perfect for the average person. Both of these Germans can lope around as a commuter 90 percent of the time and be perfectly comfortable. However, when you want to walk in the door with a big smile on your face, you can take the back roads home and get a real thrill from them.
In his latest short video, Chris Harris from Drive tests these surprisingly comparable German performance cars. Both of them offer buyers in the neighborhood of 300 horsepower, with the BMW winning out with 320 hp. However, the Golf R gets standard all-wheel drive, which is now an option on the M235i. Harris has quite positive things to say about these Europeans, but you're going to have to watch the video to hear just what he thinks.

BMW Vision Gran Turismo takes M235i Racing to the virtual extreme [w/videos]

Wed, 14 May 2014

Late last year, Mercedes-AMG worked up a concept car called the Vision Gran Turismo. It presented it at the Los Angeles Auto Show, but that wasn't the point: the point was that it would feature in Gran Turismo 6 on the PlayStation 3. It wasn't the first concept created specifically for the popular driving simulator - following similar projects by Citroën and Red Bull Racing - and as we reported just a month later, it wouldn't be the last. What we have here is the next.
Looking like an even more extreme version of the M235i Racing, the BMW Vision Gran Turismo concept builds on "the tradition of the successful BMW touring cars of the 1970s" in a heart-pumping, if unfortunately strictly virtual form. It's got more extreme aero than the aforementioned M235i Racing and a striking take on the M division's signature light blue, dark blue and red stripe over white livery.
Underneath the digital bonnet sits the same 3.0-liter inline six as the M235i, but pumping out a prodigious (if theoretical) 549 horsepower - far more than the 333 hp in the actual Racing version or the 320 hp in the roadgoing model. Of course BMW has given it an ideal 50:50 front-rear weight distribution and a curb weight of 2,600 lbs - nearly a thousand pounds less than the roadgoing M235i.

BMW wants world drifting record back in US

Sat, 23 Mar 2013

BMW just can't stand the thought of the world record for the longest drift winding up in the hands of someone else. The German automaker is set to take a crack at setting a new record by blowing the old one straight out of the water. A driver in China holds the current title after kicking a car sideways for a full 3.6 miles. Now, on May 11, BMW Performance Driving Instructor Johan Schwartz will attempt to pitch a BMW M5 sideways for some 40 miles as part of a stunt to raise funds for the BMW Pro-Am Charity.
We've had the distinct pleasure of riding with the instructors at the BMW facility in South Carolina, and we can tell you that if anyone can keep an M5 at full tilt for 40 miles, it's these guys. BMW has released a teaser video to drum up attention for the stunt. You can catch it below.
