M3 for tarmac, rally quattro for snow & gravel :)

I didn't see anything posted on this. Some nice WP of the BMW art cars, including the M3:

Good to see an M3 still going strong in competition! This is from the 2008 ADAC 3-Stadte Rallye in Germany. The Lambo Gallardo rally car is outrageous but was beat by the M3:smile2:

The Porsche...

Here's a few for sale:

So what are the all black wheels on the red car? I saw all black M-Parallels on a white car like mine and it looked awesome. It's got me thinking.

Do you have fotos of your Integrale posted somewhere? Thanks.

I liked the way Bob Varsha kept saying 'this is going to be a historic day for BMW', 'this will be their first F1 win', etc. I'm pretty sure he's smart enough (and old enough) to remember BMW's...

Well, I had to give this a try. Found a damaged rubber bushing that was making the cable slightly loose, so that was probably part of my problem. So I disconnected the cruise cable (which I never...

Thanks for the helpful responses and the comments on my cars. I guess, first, I wanted to confirm that my car was not abnormal in that regard.

I do like the idea of leaving it 'as the engineers...

I did a search, but found nothing to help ...

One of the only things I don't like about my M3 is the L___O___N___G accelerator pedal travel. To get into the fun-zone, it seems like it needs to be...

Lots of good info/fotos here:

Hagerty also has a 25-year rule. But they are very flexible about insuring newer cars if they are, in fact, collector vehicles. There was no problem whatsoever insuring my M3 and my Ur quattro -...

I just installed a Sears Diehard 'International'. It is identical in exterior dimensions and design to the Interstate MTP-91.

Were the pinstripes sometimes seen on the M3 just above the fender flare crease a factory option, a dealer option, or what? What color(s) were they? Were any other stripes an option from the...

There's a new M3 at a Calif dealer for $100,000. MSRP plus "$30,000 Additional Dealer Profit". At least they're up front about it! :2:

Is this strictly a cosmetic mod? Is there any functional improvement in light performance?

My Interstate is shot. Does anybody know who the OEM battery manufacturer was? Was it a BMW-branded battery? Whatever it was, are they still available? Thanks.

I've scanned the article and posted it here:

http://rgruppe.blogspot.com/2007/10/when-m-really-meant-motorsport.html

I'd scan it, but apparently I haven't made enough posts or something and I'm not allowed to post fotos???

There's no new information, but it's a very well-written article describing the very...

Excellent article with that title on the e30 M3 in the September 2007 issue of Thoroughbred & Classic Cars (UK mag).

Interesting article. I just purchased an Ur Quattro. I guess mine's one of those he categorizes as "the really good ones trade among those in the know for a lot more"! It's a Canadian-spec car -...

I've always been curious why NJ/NY seems to be the epicenter of e30 M3s? I'm in Mich, but my car was originally from NJ.

Oh, I've seen 3 or 4 others in Mich over the years - a very rare sighting...

Can anyone tell what is on my car right now?

Thanks guys. Good info.

I've spent quite a bit of time searching around the board trying to figure out the differences between the Euro/Early Euro/US/Ellipsoid/Ellipsoid with smilies/Etc. headlights but am pretty much...

Fantastic fotos! I'm curious how far everyone had to travel to put this group of e30s together???

I'm looking for an top-notch independent BMW shop in Michigan to service my M3 - is there such a thing?! If needed, I suppose I could trailer it to Chicago area. It doesn't need anything right now...

$25K I believe.

A friend of mine bought it. I haven't seen the car yet, but it looked spectacular in the photos.

FWIW, he didn't blink at the price. These cars are moving up the appreciation curve quickly.

I'm not sure about the BMW-Audi connection. I do know the UrQ was designed by Englishman Martin Smith. The car was the brainchild of Ferdinand Piech (nephew of Dr. Porsche) who also designed the...

Well, I'm going to HAVE TO give it a go in the snow :D I figure if I get out early, before the salt trucks it won't be too bad.

vlad - I'm not sure on the co-driver, but that name sounds...

Thanks. I'm really looking forward to getting this thing. I haven't driven one in over 20 years! I had a friend who bought one brand new that was nearly identical to this. He had it for a few...

Somebody ask to see some photos of my new Audi. Well, it is in the process of being shipped to me and I hope ot have it in a few weeks. I do have a few photos from the seller. This is a...

I used 7/8" Sharpline auto tape (www.sharpline.com). They had it in a blue (2805-57) that matches the M logo perfectly. Unfortunately, I had to buy 150 feet!
