The Toy Barn of Dublin Presents:

1998 BMW M3 Like no other! Original 18k-mile M3 5-speed!

The Toy Barn is thrilled to offer a truly one-of-a-kind opportunity, this 1998 BMW M3 sedan with only 18k original miles. This M3 was recent Porsche trade-in here at our store, and was locally owned and cared for by the previous owner since 1999, when he bought the car with only 8k miles on it. Over the past 15 years of ownership, it was treated properly, driven seldom, serviced and cared for regularly, and treated with the care and attention it deserved. If you're looking for a no-stories car, this is it. Period.

Condition-wise, this M3, simply put, is the finest E36 M3 I've ever seen. The paint shows no signs or evidence of ever having been in an accident, still shines like new, and is 99% flawless (only a few tiny nicks here and there are to be found, see pics below). The wheels look like new, and from front to back, this is one of the cleanest M3 sedans on the planet. Inside, the grey leather interior is as close to new as a 16-year old car could possibly be, with only the slightest wear on the driver's seat. It still smells new. Everything operates as it should. The a/c is cold, the service was just done on it, the tires were replaced a couple of years ago (fresh Dunlops), and from front to back, inside and out, this car is simply stunning.

As for driving impressions, the car feels fantastic. If you've ever wondered what an E36 M3 felt like when it was practically new, this has to be it! This car will be sold with all of the accompanying books and items pictured below, as well as 2 keys plus the valet, and a working BMW flashlight as pictured. Even the cassette tape is included!

2-owner, clean Carfax Report (second owner had it for 15 years) Practically new Condition All books and manuals present Just serviced

Points to consider: There are less than 10 M3's for sale in the country (E36 cars from 95-99) with under 20k miles, NONE of which are sedans that I could find. ALL of them are priced THOUSANDS of dollars more than than this one. I expect this car to sell quickly, so if you have genuine interest please give me a ring (740)973-7978. I'd be happy to tell whatever you'd like to know and put things together with you.

Check out the pictures below, be sure and allow time for them to load! If you have any questions about the condition of this car, and would like for me to go over it panel by panel with you, please give me a ring. I'd be glad to do an "over the phone" walkaround for you. Contact: Erick Morrison @ 740-973-7978 or Justin Hinderer @ 614-288-5534 Attention "0 Feedback" bidders: Please contact us prior to bidding.

Translogic 153: 2015 BMW i8

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

The 2015 BMW i8 is the second model in the Bavarian automaker's eco-friendly i-branded lineup. The i8's plug-in hybrid powertrain combines a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine with a 96-kilowatt electric motor to make 357 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. Together, this gas-electric mechanical duo is capable of propelling the groundbreaking carbon-fiber sports coupe from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 4.2 seconds.
Join Translogic host Jonathon Buckley as he heads to Santa Monica, CA for a chance to drive the all-new BMW i8.

BMW i creates high-design solar charging carport

Fri, 09 May 2014

With the first deliveries of the i3 under way, and the recent i8 press launch, the marketing push in the US for the BMW electric sub-brand has begun. These i vehicles are supposed to have a completely different feel from the rest of the brand's lineup. To complement their earth-friendly ethos, the Bavarian company commissioned BMW Group DesignworksUSA in California to create a solar carport concept that could keep the models sustainably topped up on power. It premiered alongside the i8 in Los Angeles at the electric sports coupe's media launch.
At first glance, the BMW i Solar Carport Concept looks like a pergola from a winery or a well-groomed garden, but like the i vehicles, the deeper you look, the more high-tech features there are. The sides feature carbon elements in a similar way that the i3 and i8 have a carbon fiber-reinforced plastic body. Bamboo forms the uprights because its quick-growing nature makes it rather sustainable, and the solar panels are strung along the top to harness energy.
Obviously the sun can't provide all of the energy that the electric cars need, and a BMW Wallbox Pro charger is also connected to the power grid as a supplement. It includes a readout telling users the amount of solar energy versus municipal electricity it's using.

Six luxury-car features I'm ashamed to admit I love

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

A hot compress felt wonderful on my sore back. The methodical kneading of my shoulder blades loosened the knots that formed over several hours of driving. The Swedish-style pulses firing into my lumbar region released more tension.
I wasn't getting a much-needed massage following a recent road trip. I was getting it during the road trip.
I grew up riding in the back seat of a 1976 Chevy Nova. But once you use these lux features, it's easy to go soft.
