BMW purists have no the chance of taking a look at this 1989 325i Convertible, his owner putting a selling ad on Craigslist and asking “just” $19,999.

For this money, you get a sort of kitschy ride with different tuning parts taken from Lamborghini and Ferrari.
Taking a closer look at the car, one can depict the scissor doors from Lamborghini or the side strakes from the Ferrari Testarossa, adding a prominent front bottom from Koeniggsegg, deeper rear rims and vintage-style LCD screens in the headrests.

Also, the ad states that the model is in “excellent” condition, coming as well with just 80,000 miles on board and perfectly working E36 M3 straight-six engine underneath the skin.

In case you are really interested in buying this strange car, then you should addressed directly to the owner, who also posted the bellow announcement:

“No offers without seeing the car, it’s worth every red cent, you’ll obviously never see anything like this again. The body kit doesn’t exist in the US, this is a strictly German wide-body kit.”

Is it worth buying this inciting yet repulsing kind of E30 model? From where I stand, if you really want to add flavor to your BMW collection, then I guess this is the perfect kind of car! Enjoy the impressive media gallery released below!

Apart the impressive engine soundtrack, the Akrapovic exhaust system also delivers moderate or standout power boosts, depending on the customer`s choice.

Recently, such a high-performance exhaust system has been fitted on the F31 BMW 340i, the engine`s wild sound also being showcased in the video below. Even if we are dealing here with the Touring version of the facelifted 3-Series, the model is still a hot looking ride and the exhaust would indeed increase the car`s personality and flair.

The car`s B58 3.0-liter straight six-cylinder petrol engine now sounds extremely hot and wild, especially when the car is just stationed or being driven on the roads.

As for the price involved, the entire system costs $3,000 in the United States, meaning that you will get the full treatment, such as stainless steel exhaust, which also adds a power boost of approximately 4 horsepower and 6 Nm of torque. It`s not much but what is worth hearing here is just the engine`s lion`s growl.

But words are useless at this point, so push the play button and enjoy the ride with the F31 BMW 340i model and don’t forget to share your opinions with us!

A World of Unlived Prestige

Face it, a BMW’s meant to own and enjoy with a certain amount of financial freedom. We turn to German engineering for a taste of plush living, set off by the iconic logo, split-kidney grille and sure, quiet confidence. Inside, we flourish; outside, we stare. More importantly, we float around corners in complete control, surrounded by features perfectly distanced for maximum form and function.

Consider the new 2016 335i xDrive Gran Turismo (okay, this isn’t “quiet” attraction, but reluctance was never in the cards. Check Edmunds’ review). It’s triumphant power in a tight, not cramped, bubble with leather seats. Drivers enjoy a seemingly personalized fit, while passengers stay comfortable in full view of a central, high-res screen. Whether you’re James Bond or John Smith, you’ll love class – turbocharged circa ‘08.

Power in a Sleek, Fuel-Efficient Package

It might surprise you to see fuel-economy as a significant factor when contemplating a BMW for sale. Still, BMW knows luxury competition means cutting costs to produce efficient transportation made for the daily drive. Buyers feel hard-pressed to weigh the cash and competition. For example, $41,000 buys you an Audi S5 with loads more horsepower and a handful of undeniably upper class features, while a 335i takes you to the edge; minus seven grand and the money you save on gas.

Dynamics and Space To Boot

No, dynamics are not what they once were. And, on this point, some stuck up beggars choose to be discouraged, listing limited fun and response times as a primary concern. Now, check the points of comparison – older 335i models and a new, flexible Lexus. In reality, BMW delivers excellent handling with the xDrive (all-wheel drive) and sporty 6-speed manual, among other 335i transmission options.

What else? Space. Find the right BMW for sale and you’ll find a surprising amount of storage. This includes the latest Gran Turismo (and Sport Wagon), equipped to store work clothes, sports gear or whatever else you need to toss in the back.

Final Points to Consider

Pay for smooth, fast corners and interior sophistication to receive the Honda of all compact luxury sports sedans. A BMW for sale grants you pseudo secret agent status from a brand built on urban appeal and eye-catching specs. In fact, BMW enthusiasts love their time-tested rides; expensive in the shop, but so worth it on the street. Take a test drive and open your inner penchant for posh detailing and finer automotive engineering. You’ll complete a driving experience worth considering from the moment you open the door.

The new spoiler is made from the Autoclaved Pre-Preg Carbon fiber structure also signed by Vorsteiner. This means that the spoiler is more durable than the stock lid spoilers made from traditional carbon fiber components.

Apart from the Deck Lid Spoiler, the Vorsteiner tuning company have also fitted this F30 BMW 3-Series with the M-Sport package and some additional carbon fiber components. Now that the work is complete, the F30 BMW 3-Series looks more astonishing.

This F30 BMW 3-Series signed by Vorsteiner is packing the 2.0-liter TwinPower Turbo diesel four-cylinder under the hood, developing 180 horsepower and 380 Nm of torque, enough to reach 100 km/h in just 7.3 seconds, which is not bad at all for a 3-Series model.

The photo gallery bellow also provides a more inside look concerning the fitting of the Deck Lid Spoiler on the F30 BMW 3-Series. And in my opinion, this is a hell of a ride! Enjoy the photos with the 3-Series by Vorsteiner!

The simplest and most stylish change when trying to lightly tune a car always revolves around the outside and since the rims are usually the more noticeable part general customer needs when it comes to these is not a surprise.

The Apex EC-7 rims wrapped in low profile sport tires feel right at home on the new F30 BMW 3 Series and why wouldn’t they, given the fact the complete the car’s look and style and simultaneously give it a new identity not far from its original but enough to make a rather different statement than before.

In order to keep the originality of the car the BMW rim caps have been substituted with the Apex ones, something most people don’t do, even though they should because even an object as insignificant as this can sometimes contribute to that very message a car transmits when seen on the road.

All in all, the entire car seems to have been taken one step closer to perfection in an effort to keep the modifications as basic as can be. EAS has given this F30 BMW 3 Series a whole new look and feel by changing one element in its composition.

And for good reason, too, as this kit caters to the F31 BMW 3 Series Touring, a model that is not that popular among enthusiasts.

And if that wasn’t enough, the kit itself doesn’t bring that much of a change to the vehicle. Just enough to spruce things up while still maintaining the practical side of the BMW 3 Series Touring. Basically, it’s for the dads that want to look better taking kids to school.

Aesthetic wise, Hamann went with a nice aero kit, comprised of a front spoiler and a rear diffuser. To that, the aftermarket specialist added a new suspension system, which lowers the car by 30 mm, and a set of in-house wheels. For that extra something, you can also get an ECU upgrade and a 4 tip exhaust. The ECU upgrade is available for all engines residing in the F31 BMW 3 Series Touring.

TC-Concept decided to see about modifying the BMW 3 Series, and the result is better than you might expect.

Their wide body kit is the one to have, for now at least, if you want an M3 kind of look on your standard BMW 3 Series. And if you already have installed either the M Sport package or M Performance parts, don’t fret, for TC-Concept’s kit is built to work nicely with them.

The whole kit has 8 pieces, which include new a new trunk lid, reworked diffuser or some flared wheel arches. While they do not present anything really new and exciting to the tuning scene, the kit from TC-Concept for the new BMW 3 Series is like the bread and butter of body tuning.

From the looks of it, this isn’t just a very clean exterior mod, but also a more powerful car altogether.

The base model for this pickup Bimmer was the E30 BMW 3 Series convertible. This is the soft top version, and after removing said soft top, the owner converted the rear end of the vehicle into a flat bed. He did it quite seamlessly, and this wasn’t all he did.

After the flatbed was complete, he then went and added a lot of M3 parts, including front and rear bumpers and fenders. Next step was replacing the engine with something more powerful. While most would have opted for S14 engine found in the E30 BMW M3, the owner got himself a 4.0 liter V8 from the E34 BMW 540i which is good for about 286 Hp.

With a valvetronic exhaust system, you get the mad sound of racer at the push of a button, but you can still enjoy a smoother sound if you feel like kicking back.

And the product Armytrix provided is quite good at what it does. Although, in all honesty, most enthusiasts are now waiting for some aftermarket pieces for the new F80 BMW M3 or the F82 BMW M4, which could seriously use an upgrade when it comes to exhaust sound.

The F30 3 Series is not what you would call tame or bland in its stock form, but most reviews today say it is far superior, at least sound-wise, compared the the last generation. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for that little extra.

Still, with 17 BMW art cars currently in the manufacturer’s garage, spanning several decades, we think a lot of people might be wrong.

Among the first art cars, Roy Lichtenstein’s 320i Turbo will be presented in Hong Kong. I am no art critic, but I do like Lichtenstein’s design, while I wouldn’t know the significance behind it. In his own words, the “painted lines symbolize the road the car has to follow and the artwork also portrays the surroundings through which the car is being driven”.

One of many more Bimmers presented in Hong Kong, the art car is sure to attract a lot of attention, with chances to actually be the center piece of the manufacturer’s display. The event will take place between the 15th and 18th of May, with over 245 galleries from 39 countries taking part.
