You are bidding on a near-perfect 2000 BMW M Roadster with a clean title. This is my 2nd Z3 Roadster after owning a 2.8L for over 12 years. As such, I am very familiar with the issues of the Z3 model line and have taken great pride ensuring this M Roadster is in excellent condition. She has been garage kept under my ownership and the previous owner.

It's sad to let her go, but I have 2-other cars, a 2-year old, and a job which requires me to travel quite a lot. I have driven her over 2,000 miles in the past year, but properly prep her for winter storage and when I'm out of town. I hope it goes to an auto or BMW enthusiast who will take care of this roadster.

She currently has approximately 35,260 miles and is in spectacular mechanical condition. She's 99% stock except for a radiator brass bleeder screw and a ZHP shift knob. The Harmon Kardon Speakers, BMW Radio/CD player, power-top, power-seats, power-windows, ice-cold AC, heater, lights, windshield wipers, cruise control, etc all work without any issues. The engine starts immediately and the exciting exhaust purr has not diminished after all these years.

The quick facts about this car:
35,260 miles
5-speed manual
Leather interior
3.2 liter in-line 6 cylinder engine (known internally to BMW and enthusiasts as the "S52" engine) that produces 240 HP and 236 lb/ft torque
Limited Slip Differential
Automatic Stability Control plus Traction (ASC+T), can be turned off
Produced on April 8, 1999
Of approximately 8,900 S52 M Roadsters (1998-2000), only 211 produced with Estoril Blue exterior, Black Interior, and Black Convertible Top combination

The body, paint, engine, and interior conditions are immaculate.

The convertible top is in excellent shape with the minor exception of the top coming free from the rear window. Most importantly, the top is not frayed and the rear window bead is absolutely fine.

The tires are approximately 3,000 miles from new.

There are some curb rashes to 3 of 4 wheels, which is to be expected for a 13 year old car.

I have the owner's manual, all keys (2-master, 1-valet, 1-emergency), and the BMW First Aid kit.

I have the radio code - will come in extremely handy if/when you disconnect the battery!

Major issues with the Z3 model line:
Old/Leaking/Cracking cooling system - NONE, radiator, radiator hoses, expansion tank, thermostat, thermostat housing, and water pump all replaced in 2011
Rear Sub-frame separating from car - NONE, no indications of "popped" welds in the trunk and/or differential separating per my pre-purchase inspection and my quarterly visual inspections

Minor, but inconvenient issues which plagues the Z3 model line:
Broken Seat Belt guides - NONE, guides are in perfect condition
Sliding/Rocking Seats - NONE, seats do not slide/rock
Sagging Glove Box - NONE, glove box does not sag

Here's a time-line of the most recent maintenance:
Oil Changed - 2011
Oil Filter - 2011
Radiator - 2011
Radiator Hoses - 2011
Expansion Tank - 2011
Thermostat - 2011
Thermostat Housing - 2011
Water Pump - 2011
Fuel Filter - 2012
Transmission Fluid - 2012
Differential Fluid - 2012

I have over 100 high-res photos and am more than happy to share them with anyone who's interested. Feel free to contact me for any questions you may have.

Is Audi getting complacent and suffering from brain drain?

Wed, 27 Nov 2013

The argument is made in a Reuters article: Audi is falling behind other luxury brands, such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, due to a lack of research-and-development spending and "brain drain," or the migration of top executives and R&D chiefs to other parts of the Volkswagen Group. Reuters notes that Audi's current R&D chief is the third in 16 months.
Audi, which contributed to 40 percent of VW Group's $11.6 billion in profit the first nine months of the year, is delivering cars at a record pace: 1.31 million were delivered from January to October 2013 versus BMW's 1.35 million. Yet Audi, Reuters reports, doesn't have a halo car akin to BMW's new electrified i3 and i8 or an answer to Mercedes' plug-in-hybrid S-Class, and the R&D spending at Audi is less than BMW and Mercedes by a fair margin. It's noted in the article, however, that Audi benefits from other R&D spending within VW Group.
Reuters mentions that BMW "trumpets its new 'i' series" and the new Mercedes CLA and GLA ranges are winning "rave reviews" as part of its argument that Audi's recent lack of technological innovation could hurt future sales. Those cars do pack tons of new technology, some of which are firsts for mainstream production cars. But last time we checked, the i3 could be causing BMW's stock to slide, the CLA isn't receiving the rave reviews that Reuters would have you believe and the GLA hasn't been reviewed yet.

BMW reveals i8 Concours d'Elegance Edition ahead of Pebble Beach

Mon, 11 Aug 2014

If you want to be among the first owners in the United States of the new BMW i8, the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance will be the place to be next Saturday. That's where Gooding & Company will auction off this one-of-a-kind hybrid supercar.
The BMW i8 Concours d'Elegance Edition was previously slated to be the very first i8 in North America, but has now apparently been downgraded to the guarantee of being among the firsts. In any event, it packs a series of special touches to make it unique. For starters, it's decked out in matte grey with unique brown leather upholstery, blue accents and Pure Impulse Tera World trim, with BMW i8 logos embossed into the headrests, special treat plates and the signatures of several key BMW personnel on the rear parcel shelf.
Pending government approval, it's set to be the first vehicle in the US fitted with laser headlights, and comes equipped with a special key, Louis Vuitton luggage and a "professional edition" BMW Charging Station. Scope out all the details in the press release below and take a closer look in the gallery above.
