97 Bmw E36 M3 Rebuildable No Reserve on 2040-cars
Lebanon, Pennsylvania, United States
|
1997 BMW M3 Automatic Sedan The car was in very good condition before the accident. Everything worked and maintenance was always kept up on. Interior is in very good condition. This was one of the nicer M3's out there, it was not beat. Which is why I believe it should be brought back to life. I just don't have the time to do it. I need it out of the way. So you get a deal. I valued the car at $7000 pre accident. So if you feel you can fix it for under that, you will be making out. The car hit a wall at under 30mpg, I don't know the speed, I was not driving. Most of the impact occurred on the passenger side. That is where you will have to have the strut tower area straightened out. You will also need a new passenger front quarter panel. Passenger door needs edge straighten or replaced. Windshield needs to be replaced. Dash and steering wheel need to be replaced. Needs new hood. Everything from the front of the engine forward needs to be replaced. Driver qtr panel is salvageable or you can replace. Engine starts and runs. There is no coolant left in it, so I never kept it running. Just enough to pull it out of the garage for pictures. It doesn't look like there is any damage to any major mechanicals. Mainly the radiators, fans, and stuff up front. The engine was not pushed on hard. The expansion tank is pushed up to it, but the plastic tank would have broken if it was really pushed against the engine. The engine fan is hitting stuff, so it does make noise when running. I quick started to look at prices and I think if you do the work yourself you can make out here. Most all of the parts are standard E36 parts and there are a lot of them out there. You can get the steering wheel for $50. The dash for $100. The windshield installed for $200. The car has some UPGRADES!!!!! It has a DINAN performance chip! It is cali-legal too. It has a K&N cold air intake. It is the VANOS rattle fix. It was always well maintained. Mobile 1 every 3000 miles. I had a dealer replace the trans fluid when I bought it $500 job. Various suspension components have been replaced. Front brakes are new, slotted and cross drilled. Front wheel bearings are fairly new. New air pump control value and air pump. This is your opportunity to get into a nice M3 on the cheap. Or your opportunity to make some money. I don't want offers. I don't want questions. I don't want to show the car. I just don't have the time. If I had time, I would fix it up myself. Just bid and when you come to pick it up, if you aren't happy, we can cancel the auction. Auction is no reserve, so you will get the car. Clean title in hand. |

Mercedes fights off late BMW surge to claim 2013 luxury sales crown
Sat, 04 Jan 2014The king is dead - long live the king. Mercedes-Benz is now your new US sales champion in the fiercely competitive luxury market, deposing the champ BMW, which has enjoyed annual supremacy for the past two years.
Thanks in no small part to the dynamite launch of the new, affordable CLA-Class, not to mention a redesigned E-Class and hot-selling S-Class, Mercedes moved 33,007 units in December alone, while sales in 2013 were up 14 percent, to 312,534. BMW, meanwhile, managed to sell 309,280 units in 2013. It was far from a sure thing for the Stuttgart-based brand, though, as BMW managed to nearly halve its rival's sales lead heading into the last month of 2013.
"We saw record sales, flexed our muscles across the entire product line from top to bottom and brought the customer experience to an all-time high," said Steve Cannon, Mercedes USA's CEO. While we don't have individual figures, it seems at first blush that the CLA was really the car that pushed Mercedes over the top.
2014 BMW X5 configurator goes live
Sun, 28 Jul 2013BMW won't begin selling the 2014 X5 for another few months, but the German manufacturer has brought the third-generation SAV's configurator online, allowing interested customers to poke around and look at the X5's optional goodies.
Like the 3 Series, the X5 is available in a number of lines that load up extras automatically. There's also a do-it-yourself truck that allows owners to pick and choose if they're not enamored with the styling or trim of one of the dedicated packages. As usual, the options list is quite vast, regardless of which line is chosen. We were able to easily take the new, rear-drive X5 sDrive35i, which started at $52,800, and bring the total price up past $80,000.
The new X5 carries over its 4.4-liter, twin-turbo V8 from the current model, as well as BMW's excellent 3.0-liter, turbocharged inline-six. The X5 xDrive35d, with the 3.0-liter turbodiesel will also be available on the third-generation SUV, but won't hit dealers until early 2014. BMW is stepping outside of the X5's usual bounds, offering a dedicated rear-drive model, available with all the same trimmings as the xDrive vehicles. Head over to BMW's US consumer page and have a go.
Alpina D3 Bi-Turbo torquing its way toward Frankfurt
Mon, 09 Sep 2013Few tuners benefit from the kind of factory support that Alpina does, giving the pseudo-aftermarket firm nearly as much official status as BMW's own M division. And this is its latest product.
Set to debut, as expected, at the Frankfurt Motor Show this week is the new Alpina D3 Bi-Turbo, which you can consider, for all intents and purposes, the diesel M3 that BMW never built. While the outgoing D3 (which was Alpina's best-selling model) used a four-cylinder engine, Autocar reports that the new model packs a 3.0-liter, twin-turbo inline-six diesel to drive a respectable 345 horsepower but a mammoth 516 pound-feet of torque to either the rear wheels or all four through the optional availability of xDrive. (European buyers will also be able to choose between sedan and wagon bodystyles.)
The engine is the same as you'd find in the XD3 and D5 (Alpina's diesel performance versions of the X3 and 5 Series, respectively), but in the lighter 3 Series form can propel the D3 Bi-Turbo up to 62 miles per hour in 4.6 seconds and on to an Autobahn-crunching top speed of 173 mph. And as per Alpina tradition, visual cues are minimal, with a subtly optimized aero kit and 19- or available 20-inch alloy wheels. Unfortunately, the 7 Series-based B7 is the only Alpina we get on this side of the Atlantic, but an oil-drenched performance enthusiast can dream.
