Lincolnwood, Illinois, United States

Here it is folks. This is the one you've been waiting for. I have put over $8000 in this car in the past 19 months bringing it up to snuff. The previous owner didn't do anything to it (I was unaware of that) so I spent a lot of time and money getting it all done right. The car is midnight blue with gray leather. It has the 19" wheel package and is an SMG car. It is simply gorgeous.

This car came to me from Tennessee. Since I have owned it in Illinois this has been a SUMMER ONLY car for me. It is stored in my heated garage from October until April-May (depending on weather).

You might think that the mileage is high on this car and I would likely be inclined to agree with you. However, what you have to know is that you can buy one with less than 100k miles for more money and you will end up putting $8-9K in it. Most of these have a lot of deferred maintenance because anything that has an "M" in front of it is double the price for parts and labor.

EVERYTHING has been done on this car. Purchase price plus all the work I am in this car probably around $21,000. My loss is your gain. The ONLY reason I am selling this car is because I got a divorce, bought a house, and just got laid off so I need the money. However, I don't need it bad enough to let this car go for a dirt cheap low-ball price. 

My reserve is VERY low given the condition of this car and the work that has been done.

If you don't know what an M3 is, what SMG means, etc., you shouldn't be bidding on this car. Period.

Work completed on the car:
  • Brand new Kenwood DNX890HD eXcelon head unit with NAV, Satellite Radio, Bluetooth, etc.
  • Completely amazing custom audio system. Very well done by ABT.
  • New clutch
  • New rear springs
  • New front control arms
  • New HID headlights (the previous owner ruined them by putting "angel eyes" in them. They were damaged beyond repair)
  • Complete Inspection I and Inspection II services done
  • Oil changed every 3,000 miles
  • New tires all the way around
  • Alignment
  • Vanos repair
  • Valves adjusted and new gaskets
  • And much more (I don't have the receipts in front of me)

My loss is your gain.

I have receipts for ALL work done, both keys plus a valet key. If you have any questions please feel free to email me.

Thanks for looking!

BMW considering building 3 Series in North America

Sun, 13 Apr 2014

There might be even more BMWs coming from North America soon. The company recently announced plans to build a flagship crossover called the X7 at its Spartanburg, SC, factory. Now, rumors are emerging that the Bavarians might be thinking about building a second North American factory that could build its quick-selling 3 Series.
According to Bloomberg, the German luxury giant is considering several possible locations for a North American factory, including two in Mexico, that may build the 3. "We will decide this in the next months. On the North American continent, there's still potential," said BMW production boss, Harald Krueger, in an interview meant for company staff obtained by Bloomberg.
If BMW decides to open a plant in Mexico, it would be following its rival Audi, which already announced construction of a factory there. Mercedes-Benz has been rumored to be working on a deal with Nissan to build its cars South of the Border as well. Rumors of Bimmer considering Mexican production have also cropped up in the past, so it wouldn't come as a total surprise to hear it made official.

The Homer to contest 24 Hours of LeMons

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

It's finally happened. A 24 Hours of LeMons team has built the definitive interpretation of The Homer from The Simpsons for competition in an upcoming race. As you may recollect, The Homer is the fictional car designed by Homer Simpson for his brother's car company. Designed with a separate compartment for screaming children and other Homer-centric goodies, the animated machine bankrupted its parent company and put Homer's brother out of a job. Now we get to watch it race other crap cans as it tackles Southern California's Buttonwillow Raceway on June 29. Scott Chamberlain, Kris Linquist, Reid Conti, Ben Reilly and Mike Yepes will helm the machine, and Jeff Herman serves as the team's creative director.
The racer is the latest incarnation of a well-abused BMW 3 Series. The team campaigned the same E30 under the "Prickstine" banner as a Chrysler Imperial tribute and "Porcubimmer," the latter being a riff on the ever-popular joke about the difference between porcupines and BMW models. Never gets old. You can check out a video of the finished Homer below, and be sure to like the team on Facebook to see updates from the race. Now, about that Canyonero...

BMW's Best 1 Series Gives Back What You Put In
Every once in a while, I find myself, despite my solitary leanings and inherent modesty, working out in some kind of class setting. The tone and tenor of these classes ranges wildly - from the quiet, follow-the-leader variety, to those with a kind of Cult of Personality man or woman calling the shots, usually with idiom-laden shouting and theatrical hair. Despite their personal variation and range of professional effectiveness, there's one common concept that most instructors bring up at some point: working with intention.
The idea, as it relates to physical fitness, is that focusing your brain on the movement at hand ­- the rate of your own breathing, or the muscle groups being worked for instance - helps to perform the act efficiently and correctly. Having spent a happy majority of the last decade in an exercise-free near-debauch, I was a bit surprised to find out that this kind of mental game really works pretty well.
