Valley Stream, New York, United States

1999 BMW M3 coupe
-Techno Violet exterior on Dove Gray leather interior.
-Fully loaded. 
-Sport package.
-Power Vader seats.
-5spd manual trans.
-78,xxx original miles.
-All original.
-Meticulously maintained.
-Only serviced using OEM BMW parts, including original BMW motor oil since new.
-Only 93octane Super petrol at the pump.
-Never modified or abused.
-Clean and clear history and title.

Mechanicals:
-The car starts on the first turn of the key every time.  Idles perfectly steady with no problems whatsoever.  The motor pulls extremely strong throughout the entire RPM range with full power and proper compression in all six cylinders.
-OEM clutch that feels and performs like new.  Transmission shifts perfectly throughout all gears with a tight and precise throw.  Absolutely no slipping, grinding, crunching, or problems of any kind. 
-Steering and suspension both feel excellent and leave the driver with full confidence.  Very sporty with tight and precise mannerism, although retaining that world renown BMW comfort on those longer drives.    
-Brakes are all newer and work flawlessly.  Hand brake also locks extremely tight.
-All electronics work as they should.  Rare powered Vader seats, original option.  The sought after OEM+ CD43 radio/headunit is installed, however the original tape deck radio is included.  The original CD changer is also still in the trunk and works as it should. 
-All lighting work as they should with no flaws.
-A/C blows ice cold on the hottest of days.  The heat also works flawlessly.  Perfect pixels and fully functioning climate control unit (very common problem with this model is a faulty climate control unit).
-Absolutely no warning lights or CEL on the dash cluster.

Cosmetics:
-Beautiful original Techno Violet paint in immaculate condition.  Before owning this ///M3 the thought of a purple car would have made me cringe, however I must say in full honesty that this is one of the cleanest, classiest, and coolest colors I have ever seen on any car.  The photos do not do justice for the condition of this car's paint, I welcome any serious buyers to come see for yourself.
-All plastic trim is in great shape and still deep black in color with minimal fading.
-All glass is original and flawless.
-The Dove Gray leather interior compliments the Techno Violet paint very well creating a subtle, yet extremely attractive color combination.  The carpets, door panels, and headliner are all in excellent condition with no stains, rips, or tears of any kind.  The dash is excellent as well with no cracks or defects of any kind.  The powered leather Vader seats are in great shape for their age, although they are not in "new" condition.  They are, however, extremely presentable and very in respectable shape giving their age and the nature of such a light color.  There are no stains, rips, tears, or holes in any of the seats.  The rear seats and passenger front seat are a solid 9.5/10 -- however the driver's seat is an 8/10 due to expected and common wear on the bolsters.  In all honesty, a simple "Leatherique" treatment would really bring the Vader seats up to par with the rest of the car.  In no way, shape, or form is any upholstery work required.  Unfortunately I am my own worst critic, but in reality almost everyone who sees the interior in person raves about its condition.
-The original spare tire, jack, tool kit, and entire trunk are in excellent, unmolested condition.
-The engine bay is extremely clean and appears to have been detailed regularly since new.  All plastics and rubber hoses are in excellent shape and are still a very deep black in color.  All fluid reservoirs are clean and presentable with no leakage.  
-Absolutely no leaking fluids anywhere.

Upgrades:
-Stainless steel STROMUNG exhaust.  Super high quality made in Germany and retails for $700 USD.  Looks, sounds, and performs incredible.  In my opinion, the best made and best sounding exhausts for the E36 ///M3.
-New black leather shift boot with tri-colored ///M stitching.
-OEM BMW ZHP weighted shift knob.
-OEM BMW CD43 headunit. 
-High quality aFe air intake which also improves sound and performance.

Disclaimer:
Despite being a meticulously maintained and low mileage example of this German built sport coupe, it is a used 1999 model year ///M3 with 78,xxx miles.  For its age, the car is immaculate, but one cannot expect a brand new car.  It is not without very minor flaws and blemishes, which are inevitable and should be expected on a vehicle that is 14+ years old.  Mechanically the car is without fault, and it is all up to date on any and all services.  Regular care and maintenance is required to keep this car in perfect working order.  Car is sold as-is, where-is.  No warranty is express or implied.  I encourage all interested parties to come feel, see, and hear this beautiful machine in person.

Feel free to email with any questions or concerns.  Good luck bidding!

A few detail I forgot to mention: (1)-The car was bought new in California, and remained in that beautiful warm and dry climate until 2008 where it was purchased in New York. It has always been garaged when not in use since it has been in NY. (2)-Absolutely NO RUST anywhere on this car. Structurally sound and solid. (3)-The original DSII wheels have been refinished in a Nogaro Silver color which compliments the car's color combination perfectly. The wheels are clean, cool, and beautiful. (4)-All four tires are like-new. Goodyear Eagle GT with 225/45 in the front and 245/40 in the rear. Very reliable, grippy, and comfortable tires with no road noise.

BMW Motorrad celebrates 90 years with new R nineT roadster [w/video]

Wed, 16 Oct 2013

90 years is a heck of a long time by any standard, and as good a cause for celebration as we've ever seen. That's how long BMW has been making motorcycles for, and it's celebrating with the retro cafe racer you see here - as promised and previewed.
Dubbed the R nineT (for 90 years), the latest product from BMW Motorrad traces its roots back to the original 1923 BMW R 32. And like the original, it's powered by a boxer twin - in this case, a 1,170cc air- and oil-cooled unit delivering 110 horsepower and 88 pound-feet of torque. All that muscle is packed into a classically-styled roadster that looks ready to line up next to a Moto Guzzi Griso, Triumph Thruxton or Ducati SportClassic.
The neo-retro styling drapes a unique tubular steel spaceframe chassis that uses the engine as a stressed member. The inverted telescopic front fork is borrowed from the S 1000 RR superbike and a paralever swingarm with spring strut suspends the rear. That's where you'll find a removable rear pillion for an extra passenger and dual tailpipes mounted on the left side, swappable for a titanium Akrapovic exhaust - just one of many customization options BMW Motorrad is offering for the R nineT.

Meet the inventor of the BMW 3 Series wagon

Sat, 11 May 2013

It's hard to imagine, but once upon a time, there were only two BMW 3 Series variants: the coupe and sedan. Back before gran coupes, convertibles and yes, even touring models were available, buyers could only get their 3 Series fix if it came with two or four doors and a fixed roof. Back in the mid '80s, BMW engineer Max Reisbock was having some trouble fitting his whole family into his four door. Rather than suck it up and buy a van, he picked up a wrecked 3 Series and got to cutting in a buddy's garage. Months later, he had the very first 3 Series Touring ever built.
At first, he kept the the car to himself, using it to haul friends and family around, but he eventually showed it off to his friends at work. When the BMW executives found out about his project, they called him up to take a closer look. After putting an eyeball on the car, they took it, copied his design, made a few tweaks and quickly rolled out the first production 3 Series Touring. How's that for validation? Check out the video below for Reisbock's story.

BMW discussing new plant with Mexican authorities

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

Drawn in by low wages and manufacturing costs, BMW could be the next automaker to set up a manufacturing facility in Mexico. Automotive News is reporting that the German automaker has had discussions with local Mexican governments regarding a possible assembly plant, but there is no word as to when a decision may come down. Last we heard, BMW was reportedly looking to build the 3 Series in Mexico.
A key determining factor for this new plant is a free-trade agreement between the US and Europe, which according to the article, would give BMW better "flexibility and cost structure" to open another plant in North America. In terms of luxury automakers, Audi is currently building a new plant in Mexico and Mercedes-Benz is considering opening one in conjunction with Nissan for the CLA-Class, and in the bigger picture, Honda and Mazda are also preparing to kick off vehicle production in Mexico.
