1990 No Frills Bmw E30 M3 Base Coupe 2-door 2.3l on 2040-cars
San Francisco, California, United States
So I’m not going to dwell into the history of M Motorsport or why the M3 is a worthy investment. I figure if you’re looking at this ad you pretty much know what the car is and why you should buy it. Let’s address what I believe to be problem areas.
The CON’s: - Temperamental sunroof. - Coffee stain on carpet behind driver’s seat. - Alignment. - Scratches on front bumper and left rear.* - Weathered rear spoiler, paint cracking.* - Missing 1” tow hook cap. Assuming another M3 owner saw it and stole it. - Aged front original seats, worn not torn. - 136,797miles on original motor. - Aftermarket Alpine radio. - Aftermarket Nardi steering wheel. - Aftermarket AC Schnitzer pedals. - Irritating young photographers if you don’t like the attention. *- can have bumpers and rear spoiler repainted for additional $900. I left them unpainted so as not to deceive the new buyer. The PRO’s: - Clean title. Smogged. California car. - Bonafide 1990 M3. Factory 212hp. The last year sold in the state of California. 91’s never in CA. - Untouched engine. - All original Sterling Silver Metallic paint. No repainted parts on the car. - Original motor. Matching #s. - Euro headlights. - Mint interior pieces. NO CRACKS or scuffs on otherwise mint dash and center console. - Functioning power windows, A/C, heater, radio, wipers, headlights, signals, and reverse. - Complete tool kit. - Never tracked. - No accidents on chassis. - Oil changes every 3500miles. Factory oil filter. 100% smooth idle. - Replaced door seals and near mint window seals from a year ago. - 90+% new Falken tires replaced 1 year ago. - Brake pads and rotors replaced 1 year ago with tires. - Functioning door and trunk lock with original key. Bid with complete confidence. Car will also come with many extra parts which I bought for spare. |

A look back on BMW, South Carolina and Southern manufacturing
Sat, 29 Dec 2012It has been 20 years since BMW broke ground on its Spartanburg, SC manufacturing facility, and while the automaker doesn't have any plans to mark the moment, economists and industry analysts have taken a closer look at the facility's impact on South Carolina, the South and global manufacturing. As of November, the Spartanburg plant's 7,000 employees cranked out 25,000 vehicles per month, and BMW has poured some $6 billion into the state since the plant opened in 1993. While that figure nearly matches the state's proposed budget for next year, some say there have been drawbacks.
To begin with, South Carolina provided BMW with hundreds of millions of dollars worth of public money and tax breaks with little public oversight, setting a precedent that would repeat itself with other corporations. The Detroit News reports that a Pew Center evaluation found 26 states didn't have a sufficient system for evaluating tax incentive performance. But BMW opened the door for a Southern manufacturing renaissance, with automakers from Mercedes-Benz to Hyundai and Volkswagen opening plants in the Deep South.
While states have raced to offer ever sweeter tax and cash incentives for big manufacturers, officials say BMW is proof the system can pay dividends. You can read the full piece here.
Beverly Hills road rage incident ends with BMW driver ramming bicyclist
Fri, 26 Apr 2013An instance of road rage turned mortally dangerous in Beverly Hills, CA, recently, when an incident between a cyclist and a BMW driver took a scary turn in front of a rolling security camera.
LA Weekly reports that the person on the bicycle and the driver of the 2008 BMW 328i in the video had some kind of altercation, resulting in the cyclist punching the driver. The driver then followed the biker to an alley on the 9000 block of Wilshire Blvd and, according to the Beverly Hills Police Department, "Intentionally rammed the bicyclist with his vehicle pinning him to a metal rolling trash bin."
That the act was intentional is clearly evident in the video footage below, captured on a security camera. Police have published the video in the hopes of tracking down the driver, who is said to be in his mid-30s with dark hair, dark eyes and a thin build. BMW owners across the country can thank him - for reinforcing certain stereotypes - by helping to turn him in. Do your part, Bimmer Nation.
2014 BMW M5 facelift shows up online
Tue, 14 May 2013Is it that time already? Like its predecessors, the current BMW M5 has been endangering US licenses since it first went on sale here in 2012, but its design became a known quantity back at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. Apparently that also means that the F10 generation has already grown tired enough to the "Must Have Latest Set" who can afford these sorts of super saloons that a facelift is in order.
If these leaked images sourced from Autocar are anything to go by, BMW stylists have used a predictably light hand to rework their hottest 5 Series, with a revised grille that echoes the M6 along with modestly resculpted headlamps. The rear end appears wholly unaltered. Interior changes gleaned from a look at the cabin photos include an updated touchpad-equipped iDrive controller and a new steering wheel cribbed from the M6.
No new word on changes to the 4.4-liter, twin-turbo V8 powertrain, but in late April, we heard that BMW was readying new competition packages for the M5 and M6. The packages are said to include 15 more horsepower, revised suspension and steering, along with new wheels and blackened exhaust tips. Given that BMW is known for habitually underrating its cars' horsepower outputs (particularly its M models) we can't help but wonder if its engineers will need to do anything other than wave a magic wand to corral those extra ponies underhood...
