1988 Bmw M3 on 2040-cars
Church Hill, Tennessee, United States
Please contact me at : arielaccadenhead@bluesfans.com .
This is my 1988 (4/87 production, car #344) M3. I've owned the car for about the last 17 years. I purchased the
car with ~112K miles. It is a Tennessee car. I love this car but I really never drive the car and it’s been
spending most of it’s time in my garage. As we are going to be building a new house in the next year, it’s
time for it to find a new loving home.
The car was originally sold by Rick Hill Imports in Kingsport, TN and has spent it’s life in East Tennessee from
what I can tell.
Please see below for some of the upgrades that I have done to the car and please don’t hesitate to ask any
questions. I will answer the best that I can. This car is not a ‘bubble car’ but it is in very good
condition.
It does have all of the original body panels and the only “unfortunate incident” that the car has had while I
have owned it involved a raccoon on the interstate which required the replacement of the front bumper cover. I
purchased the EVO3 spoiler pre-finished and it doesn’t match great, but you can certainly have it painted to an
exact match.
The rear quarter panels were painted about 10-12 years ago as there was some wear at the bottom of the pop-out
windows that I had fixed before they became a rust issue.
I do have some spare parts and brand new rear wheel bearings and associated parts. It does not need them right
now, but I was going to do them as preventative maintenance.

2015 BMW M3 is fast for the family man
Mon, 13 Jan 2014BMW finally brought its four-door M3 into the public view, showing the new sedan off at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. The new M3 represents BMW's return to small, wildly fast four-door sedans after a several year absence following the discontinuation of the E90 M3 Sedan way back in 2011.
The M3 enjoys the same 425-horsepower, 3.0-liter six-cylinder used in the M4, with 406 pound-feet of torque and the owner's choice of either an old-fashioned six-speed manual or a seven-speed M dual-clutch transmission. All told, the new powertrain should scoot the four-door M to 60 in a mere 3.9 seconds (with the M DCT).
We've got a full gallery of live images of the all-new M3 up above, and we've included the original stock gallery down below. Feel free to peruse either, and then let us know what you think by sounding off down in Comments.
BMW planning Chinese recall for engine part issue [w/video]
Mon, 17 Mar 2014After receiving an unspecified number of complaints in China, BMW has reportedly started a "full investigation" into what may be a defective part in its VANOS engine control system. BMW said via a Chinese blog that it would file a recall application with the the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine in China.
BMW has not yet announced how many vehicles will be recalled, or which models the potential recall might cover. We're also curious as to whether the VANOS issue could extend into markets outside of China.
We've placed a call with BMW in the United States, and will update this post as soon as we hear back. Stay tuned for more, and if you're curious about what VANOS is and how it works, scroll down below for a video animation.
2014 BMW 4 Series Convertible [w/video]
Thu, 20 Feb 2014Here it is, the fifth generation of BMW's 3 Series Convertible - only this one begins with a "4," having been rechristened as a droptop version of the new 4 Series Coupe. With thirty years of work on this same recipe and having gotten it so right for much of that time, the Munich compact premium convertible has been a WYSIWYG affair for decades: once you saw its sedan paradigm, you knew what it was going to look like in roofless two-door form, and what you saw is exactly what you got.
It is ridiculous to think that BMW would choose this new model and its new nomenclature to muck things up. The new car has, though, gotten larger and roomier, and even though it's now part of the racier coupe division within the company's compact line, it has gotten more, shall we say, mature. Driving even further away from the days when handsomely tipped bartenders could work their way into one, The Ultimate Tanning Machine had shed even more elan, going instead for elegance and an attitude befitting its $49,675 starting price (including $925 for destination).
It strikes a few odd notes, but what it does best, it still does better than anything else out there in its price range.
