See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Mechanically a 9 out of 10 Cosmetically about a 7.5 for wear to front leather seats, scraped aluminum in wheels and cracked paint around tail light"

My son bought this car for himself for his 16th birthday with his own money. We have kept up to date with any kind of leak, rattle, hose or belt replacement and the car is near perfect mechanically.  He has been driving it daily for the last two years. He is going off to school and wont need the car in the fall so he wants to sell it.

Mechanically the car is a 9.5 out of 10, the only issue at the moment is the car didn't pass smog inspection last week for registration renewel. my BMW mechanic said it will cost $300 dollars but as my son intended to sell the car, we opted not to do it. The air conditioner blows air but not very cold. Heater works fine.

The exterior is clean but has four flaws, all of which my son is guilty of. Two of the wheels will need to have scrapes buffed out of the metal from scraping against curbs, Probably cost about $100 per wheel.  The drivers rear quarter panel around the tail light has cracked paint from him side swiping a pole in a parking lot while backing out of a spot. The front bumper has paint on it from a similar parking fiasco but is not damaged. Lastly the rear passenger side door is scraped and slightly indented also from parking. I believe if the panel to the door is removed, that the indentation (which did not crack or buckle the paint), can be pushed out. Some metal trim around the windows show discoloration. Minor rubber deterioration in window bays. No weather leaks from anywhere including the sunroof. 

The interior of the car only has issue with the front seats but mostly the drivers seat which shows much wear and is even beginning to open at the seam. It will need to be covered or replaced. The carpeting and head liner are undamaged, and the back seats are in very good condtion

All electric windows, seats and doors work perfect.

Alex Zanardi back in the driver's seat with BMW

Tue, 21 Jan 2014

If there's ever been an inspirational story in the pantheon of motor racing history, surely it's that of Alessandro Zanardi. The Italian driver worked his way up the motor racing ladder, making it into Formula One and winning two CART championships for Chip Ganassi Racing back before the series re-merged into IndyCars. Tragedy struck in 2001 when he lost both his legs in a crash at the Lausitzring in Germany, but rather than accept his fate, Alex pushed on. Fitted with prosthetic limbs, he learned to drive a racing car with hand controls and got back in the driver's seat.
Zanardi drove for BMW in the European Touring Car Championship and then in the World Touring Car Championship that replaced it, landing on the podium several times despite his physical disadvantage. He left racing in 2009 to train for the Paralympics, winning two gold medals in London, but Alex apparently couldn't shake the racing bug. BMW modified one of its M3 DTM racers with hand controls for him to test later that year. And now he's returning to motor racing full time.
BMW has just announced that Zanardi will be driving a Z4 GT3 in the Blancpain Sprint Series, the successor to the FIA GT Series and short-distance counterpart to the Blancpain Endurance Series. The car has been modified with the hand controls the Bavarian automaker's racing department fitted to the aforementioned M3 DTM and will be fielded by the ROAL Motorsport team with which Alex challenged for the European Touring Car Championship last decade.

BMW preparing two concepts for Villa d'Este

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

Every spring, the finest automobiles ever to grace tarmac gather on the shores of Lake Como for the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. It's a chance for the most beautiful classics to compete for awards and for automakers and design studios to show off their concept cars under the soft light of the Italian sun. But while most of the vehicles old and new that show up for the concours are ones we've seen before, BMW takes things a step further.
As patron of the concorso d'eleganza for the past ten years, BMW regularly cooks up something new for the glamorous extravaganza. Last year it teamed up with Pininfarina for the Gran Lusso Coupé and revealed it alongside the Concept 90 motorcycle. The year before that came the BMW Zagato Coupe, preceded by the 328 Hommage and the M1 Hommage (pictured above) before it.
The theme for this year's event is the Roaring Twenties. BMW may not have been known back then on the same level as Bugatti or Duesenberg, but Rolls-Royce sure was.

2014 BMW 4 Series convertible spotted

Thu, 27 Jun 2013

We've seen a few spy shot packages featuring the upcoming BMW 4 Series Convertible already, but never with the car quite so naked as in this latest batch. Nabbed just outside the BMW Nürburgring workshop in Germany, this Melbourne Red 4 Series also shows the M Sport package for the first time.
With all of the cladding removed, we can see that the convertible shares the 4 Series coupe's great-looking nose and front end, though the resolution of that folding hard top into the rear bodywork remains a bit harsh.
With the 4 Series coupe now completely official, we have a pretty good idea of what the powertrain lineup for the 'vert will be. We'll be pretty surprised if a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and a 3.0-liter six-cylinder turbo aren't the go-to engines at launch. Production of the droptop is likely to begin at the end of the year, so start bugging your local BMW dealer.
