Supercharged E46 M3.
I am sad to sell my midnight blue M3. This car has undergone several track specific upgrades since i bought it 2 years ago when it was in stock condition. I fitten the ESS stage 1 supercharger 6 months ago. It makes 445hp at the crank, 385 at the wheels!!!! Other track upgrades include: A 4.1 BMW racing differential, really tightening the gear ratios for track. A full stainless exhaust system from headers back, which sounds incredible! (I have the stock muffler if it is too loud). A light flywheel & racing clutch system. An upgraded suspension kit (KW v2) with front and rear coilovers, camber plates and H&R sway bars, lowering the car 30mm and making it corner extremely well. Brake rotors have been updgraded to vented rotors. I have 2 sets of brake pads (street / track) Street pads (Hawk) are track rated anyway, and the track pads (performance friction) are incredible. They have had 2 days use and cost $500, but are too squeaky for the street. I currently have Federal SS winter tires fitted for my daily commute. However, I also have a set of 4 Hankook RS3s for the track costing $1200 last fall. They have had 3 days use. The car has been maintained by a BMW specialist mechanic and had routine brake fluid and oil changes after every track event. In the last 6 months I have had all 6 coils and spark plugs replaced. Also as preventative maintenance for the drivetrain, I had the rod bearings, center support bearing and guibo replaced. I have all receipts over the last 2 years. This car's mechanics are like new and is ready to race!! You are welcome to have it inspected by anyone. |

2011 BMW 1 Series M Coupe now more expensive than when new
Sun, 06 Apr 2014At the end of the day, your friendly Autoblog editors are car guys, just like you. So, while we might have more of an opportunity to test some of the most interesting vehicles on the new car scene than does your average gear head, we can still be found whiling away those long afternoon hours looking at used cars and thinking about what could be.
Just the other day, we had a vivid reminder about one of our dream cars from the very recent past, the 2011 BMW 1 Series M Coupe. If you didn't catch it, Michael Harley had a great time testing and reviewing the new Dinan S3-R version of the car, which throws an impressively engineered turbo and suspension tune on a BMW that was damn near perfect out of the box.
In the Comments section of that review, a few savvy Autoblog readers pointed out that our estimated price for a used donor car, set at $50,000, was low. Odd, we thought, as the car retailed for less than $50k ($46,135) when it was new in 2011. So we started checking around.
Preserving automotive history costs big bucks
Wed, 29 Jan 2014
$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.
Watch two championship-winning DTM cars from BMW go head-to-head
Mon, 06 May 2013BMW recently had a little fun with two of the company's past DTM champions. Roberto Ravaglia and Bruno Spengler, winners of the 1989 and 2012 championships, respectively, both showed up at the world-famous Hockenheimring with their title-winning cars. The two swapped seats, with Ravaglia taking the helm of Spengler's BMW M3 DTM racer and Spengler sliding behind the wheel of Ravaglia's first-generation M3 racer in the classic BMW Bank livery, and headed for the track. Spengler got a 23 second head start in the first-gen M3 with Ravaglia chasing behind.
It didn't take long for the older hotshoe to sort out his new ride and close the gap. The short clip below follows the two as they make their way around the circuit, but the really interesting portion comes when the pair begin discussing what they like and don't like about each other's machines. You can check out the full video below for yourself.
