1998 BMW M3 Convertible

1998 BMW M3 Convertible

Published May 14, 2015 by Paul

Need a little bit more space than the 2002 BMW M Roadster we featured yesterday but still lust after some al fresco ///M Motoring? Here’s a good compromise, then. While the M3 Convertible was nothing new when the E36 debuted, the US market was never privy to the E30 M3 Convertible. With the 1998 model year, sun worshippers got their wish with this car we see here for sale in North Carolina. Hardcore enthusiasts tend to take these open-roofed M3s a bit less seriously than their coupe and sedan counterparts, given their added weight and decreased rigidity. At least this car is equipped with the 5-speed manual which will help you make the most of this package.

Quick aside: earlier this year I spent some time out west doing some hiking and running. As an East-coaster my whole life, the desert environment is something that is entirely unfamiliar to me and there’s a captivating beauty to be found in those parched and sun-dried landscapes that is difficult to convey through anything other than being there. Of course, one of the starkest differences between that environment and the East coast is the natural color. There is less total variety, yet we still see an abundance of variety within a few basic shades. So what does this have to do with cars? Mainly, it’s that I have a greater appreciation for many of these natural shades, the earthier tones that we see far fewer of on modern cars but were quite popular in the late-’70s. I have always enjoyed particular shades of metallic brown even if I still might gravitate to many of the brighter colors of the spectrum, along with black, which possesses its own distinct appeal. But there is a way in which these natural colors conform with and reflect certain environments that itself brings along its own beauty and vitality. As with anything, not every color works well and some are clearly more interesting than others, but the color we see here is one of those that I think possesses a nice mix of beauty and simplicity. Here we have a Copper Brown Metallic 1979 Porsche 911SC, located in Arizona, with Cork leather interior and 88,588 miles on it.

Most E28 M5s have experienced some level of modification, whether it’s removing the self-leveling rear suspension, adding a chip and exhaust, or getting a little crazy with more displacement out of the S38. There are plenty of tuner options out there, but Dinan is one of the most respected names out there and this owner went to town with their catalogue. The usual suspects are all there from chip to short shift kit to intake, but one of the more interesting mods is the SLS upgrade by Dinan as opposed to the more common complete removal. It also has some amazing, blocky Dinan 5-spokes, which remind me a lot of Ruf’s classic rims. It all adds up to a modified M5 that appears loved rather than abused and looks every bit the late-80s hot rod it was meant to be.

2005 BMW 330i ZHP

2005 BMW 330i ZHP

Published May 14, 2015 by Andrew

For practical folks like myself (who also happen to be BMW fans) one of the biggest disappointments in recent memory is the lack of an E46 M3 sedan. I’ve always had a soft spot for the E46 3 Series in nearly all forms but aside from the legendary M3 coupe, it’s the sedan that I’m most drawn to and I’ve always lamented the fact there was no true M version.

However, never the ones to pass up an opportunity to squeeze some extra dough out of Yankee consumers, BMW offered us the “ZHP” package on the 330i from 2003 to 2006. For $3,900 you got a lowered ride height thanks to firmer springs and stiffer dampers. Special control arms, a unique light weight front underbody cross brace, staggered wheel/tire setup further contribute to the enhancement of the car’s handling prowess. Your money also gets you an slight bump in power, 235 hp up from 225 hp as well as a marginally higher redline of 6800 rpm up from 6500 rpm. A special final gear ratio and rear axle make the most of those gains and I’m willing to bet that these cars feel plenty quick but isn’t constantly reminding you that you’re unable to use every ounce of power in day to day driving situations. After all isn’t that what you want in a daily? That’s a question I’m asking myself more and more these days.

1976 Porsche 911 Turbo Carrera

1976 Porsche 911 Turbo Carrera

Published May 13, 2015 by Rob

The release of the 911 Turbo was a seminal moment for Porsche and for the 911 in general. The 911 had been a well-regarded performance car produced by a marque that had begun to establish a racing history that was closely tied to the cars it produced for consumers. The Turbo was to take each of those aspects of Porsche’s identity and crank it up a few notches. The original goal was to produce a turbocharged version of the 911 to meet homologation requirements. Presumably, the resulting car would be more akin to the modern-day GT: a stripped out and lightened rear-drive Turbo with a track-oriented focus. After rules changes rendered that homologation unnecessary Porsche’s intentions for the Turbo shifted. No longer would it be a track-focused car, but rather it would now serve to showcase the refinement and luxury that the marque was capable of packaging within its highest performance machine. Thus was born the 911 Turbo that has become so familiar to us to this day. For the initial production years the Turbo relied upon a turbocharged 3.0 liter flat-six and the car we see here comes from that early period: a Silver 1976 Porsche 911 Turbo Carrera, located in Texas, with Red leather interior and 68K miles on it.
