1988 BMW M3. I purchased this car in September of 2012 and went right to work restoring/replacing any aspect of the car that needed to be addressed. This is a clean title M3 with brand new paint, refinished interior, many aesthetic upgrades, and tons of mechanical improvements. From a mechanical perspective, the following has been performed (there has been more than just what is below replaced, and I do have receipts for everything, but I'll refrain from listing every hose, ring, or gasket). -New Injectors -New Water Pump -New Water Pump Belt -New Alternator -New Spark Plugs -New Radiator -New Battery -New Thermostat -New Intake Boot -New Power Steering Belt -New AC Belt -New Ignition Wires -New Radiator Hose -New Expansion Tank Hose -New Thermostat Hoses -New Upper Radiator -New Water Hose Set -New Hood Shock Strut Report -New Brake Pads and Sensors -New Distributor Cap -New Ignition Rotor -New Valve cover Gasket -New Camshaft Seal -New Intake Hose -New Return Connector -New Power Steering Mount Bushings -New AC Compressor Mount Bushings -New Alternator Bushings -New Primary Fuel Pump -New Secondary Fuel Pump -New Fuel Filter -New Oil Filter Housing Gasket -New Power Steering High Pressure Hose -New Power Steering Suction Hoses -New Fuel Tank -Newer Windshield Washer Tank -New Windshield Washer Blades -VAC Motorsports Z3 Shifter Kit -New S50/52 Timing Chain Tensioner From a performance/visual standpoint, the following parts have been addressed: -Full Alpine White Respray -Painted/Restored Window Moldings -Restored Black Leather Interior -New Bilstein Sport Struts -New H&R Sport Springs -New Hankook Ventus V12 Tires (215/40/18 Front, 245/35/18 Rear) -OEM BMW 18" M-Parallel Wheels (Custom Painted Silver W/ Gunmetal Face) -Refinished 15" BMW OEM Wheels Included -Stromung Exhaust W/ Custom Made Center Section -New Headlights -New Fog Lights (Clear) -New Turn Signals (Clear) -New Tail Lights -New Tow Hook Cover Set -New Matte Black Front Grille Set -New Belt Moldings -Red "Evo" Bumper Tape -"Evo" Style Front Splitter -New Windshield -35% 3M Window Tint -Reconditioned OBC -New Shift Know -New Shift Boot -New Custom Floor Mats As for negatives for the car, there are a few but not many. At idle the car does have some chatter, but everything I have researched says this is quite normal for an E30, and the car shifts and performs great. On the interior, there are one or two pixels out along the radio and OBC, but that is getting fairly nit-picky. As mentioned this car was purchased last year, so I don't have a long history outside of Carfax. Carfax does show a theft with the car year's back, but that is all I know and the previous owner here in Oklahoma knew nothing of it either. While the history is somewhat unknown (and the miles may be a tad higher than other cars in this price range), the thorough work and reconditioning of this vehicle make it something very special to anyone who sees it. There really isn't much else I can think of that could be addressed with the car. We have receipts for all parts purchased, and can happily get anyone in touch with the mechanic who performed the work. We have really gone through the car in its entirety and I feel confident that if the car sells, it will be a serious head turner for the buyer, and a great performer. This car seems to get more "thumb's up" than any of the other performance vehicle we own. I do not need to sell this car, rather for the right situation I see myself letting the car go to free up space and begin another project. Thanks in advance for looking at this ad and please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. |

2014 BMW X5
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Is Better Than Ever Still Good Enough?
By now, all but the staunchest of traditionalists have moved past the shock and horror of seeing their favorite automotive brands branching into categories and segments that break with their previously accepted norms. In other words, you and I don't really care all that much if the BMW M3 is powered by an inline six or a V8, or whether it boasts a turbocharger, just so long as the end result is an awesome car. Similarly, we don't get all hot under the collar seeing that same M3 share space on the showroom floor with a brace of SUVs and crossovers... or, as BMW continues to insist, Sports Activity Vehicles.
Time, as they say, heals all wounds, and the BMW X5 has been around long enough, having first seen the light of day in 1999, that anyone offended by its existence has since gotten over it. Plus, the X5 is a legitimately nice vehicle to drive, offering such desirable qualities to family men and women as seating for up to seven, all-wheel drive and a commandingly tall view of the road. For the enthusiast set, the X5 serves up a taut chassis and powerful engine options.
BMW X1 testing is underway
Thu, 10 Oct 2013It was just a few weeks ago that we got our first glimpse of the next-generation BMW X1, riding around on a flatbed. Now, we have the first batch of images of the small crossover moving under its own steam.
Like the previous round of photos, BMW's psychedelic camouflage is on hand to obscure sheetmetal details, but our intrepid spies still managed to discover a bit about the new X1. It's internal code-name will be F48, and it will sit on the same platform as the next-generation Mini and the BMW 1 Series GT. And for those keeping track at home, those are both front-drive platforms.
The reasoning for the X1's new layout, though, is understandable. Front-wheel drive is more space efficient and affordable, which are kind of big deals to customers. The next X1 won't be limited to its front wheels, though, as BMW's xDrive system is almost a certainty on higher-end trims.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
