This is a very nice and well cared for 2002 BMW Z3 M Roadster. Since you clicked on this I guess I shouldn't go through how rare this car is with less than 1600 built in 01-02 and 02 being the last year for the Z3. Let me tell you about this car. This car was in NY in Hurricane Sandy. This car was cleaned and a shop had removed the seats when I bought it from an insurance auction. From what I can tell this had about 3 inched of water inside. The seat motors are toasted and were unbolted to move the seats to unbolt them. The water did not get over the tunnel or to any wiring under the dash. The airbag module did not get wet. The seat cushions don't appear to have been wet either. This was a very low flood. The engine starts and runs very well. Everything from the windows to the AC works. What this will need are all four seat motors and redo the wiring to the seats as this has one big electrical connection similar to the one found on E46 seats and that is corroded and should be replaced. The brakes are in excellent shape and transmission shifts like new. There is a bit of whine from the clutch throw out bearing. This is not a big job for me so I will just install a new one if the car sells. I can't see doing it now as if the reserve price is not met I will be parting the car out. This has polished wheels which I have never seen before. They look beautiful but will need some light cleaning. The top is in like new condition. Overall this is a chance of a lifetime to get a 24k mile S54 M Roadster with less than $1000 of work needed for less than half what one should cost. You will be seriously impressed with the condition of this car. I will add better pictures as soon as the weather clears up and I can take pictures outside. The title is a New York 907 salvage certificate. As the insurance companies would not turn the key on any flood vehicle the title is marked not actual mileage. I am a NJ car dealer so yes if you are a NJ resident you will have to pay 7% sales tax. If you are not a NJ resident you will have to fill out a ST 10 tax exception form. No exceptions. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding. Please feel free to contact me to set up a time to come see the car.

Ok, I've had a ton of questions on this car. The wheels are the proper wheels for the car but instead of being painted these have been polished. The wheels are not curb rashed, bent, or damaged. They do need to be cleaned and I would hand polish them if it was my car. I also say I did not mention that the lower sides of the front bumper where slightly damaged when this was picked up by the loader. I added pictures of this. If you have already bid and no longer want the car do to this please contact me by the end of the day on Friday and I will cancel your bid. The leather on the seats is perfect and will not need to be replaced. It is soft and the car has no abnormal smells. The only other part of the seats that maybe damaged are the seat belt latches as they have the airbag pyrotechnic in them that was in the water. They may be fine but without taking care of the seat plug there is no way to test them. These are not to bad at around $150 a side new from BMW. The antenna was unscrewed and was in the trunk. It is back on in the new pictures and yes the radio works. I have had quite a few people ask about temp tags. I can not stress this enough. THIS IS A SALVAGE TITLE. This can not legally be driven on the road until it has been inspected by your state and you are issued a new title. So no I can not issue a temp tag and the car must be towed. I will take care of the throw out bearing as the reserve is meet and this car will sell. Someone is going to get a great car. I had a few people mention how great a track car this would make. That is a great idea and I wish I could keep it myself as a track toy. So thanks for checking this out and have a great day.

BMW pondering hardcore M4 to celebrate 100 years?
Thu, 03 Oct 20132013 is the year for Lamborghini, Aston Martin and the Porsche 911, but 2016 will be the year for BMW. That's when the Munich-based maker of the Ultimate Driving Machine will celebrate its 100th birthday, with what will probably be a year-long celebration. Part of that 365-day party will, reportedly, be an even hotter version of the new BMW M4, which is set to debut in January at the Detroit Auto Show.
Yes, according to Australia's Car Sales, the über-M4 has been hinted at by higher-ups at BMW's M division, who claim the rear seats will be removed, much like the M3 GTS, while other weight-saving measures will be used to try and bring the M4's weight below 3,000 pounds. There's no mention of engine mods, but if the M4's biturbocharged six is as good as we think it'll be, that's not a deal-breaker for us.
The lightening process on the so-called M4 GTS would involve replacing the hood and front fenders with parts made of carbon fiber, while the doors would switch from steel to aluminum. Besides the deletion of the rear seats, Car Sales is predicting lightweight racing buckets, with a carbon-fiber shell and a minimal amount of padding. Expect lots and lots of Alcantara, in place of leather.
BMW, VW partner with ChargePoint for high-speed charging network
Thu, Jan 22 2015To promote their plug-in electric vehicles, a number of electric vehicle makers are working overtime to get a charging infrastructure set up. Tesla is famously setting up a network of Superchargers around the world, and today BMW and VW have announced they are partnering with ChargePoint to install almost 100 DC Fast Chargers up and down the US coasts. Installing additional Level 2 chargers is also part of the plan. The new DC Fast Chargers will offer the SAE Combo connectors, which is available on both the e-Golf and the i3. The fast chargers will have "up to two 50 kW DC Fast chargers, or 24 kW DC Combo Fast chargers," BMW says. They will be installed roughly 50 miles apart between Boston and Washington, DC in the east as well as Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego in the west. The 24-kW DC Fast Chargers will fill up an empty i3 or e-Golf to 80 percent in a half-hour or 3.5-4 hours from the Level 2 cords. Speaking at an announcement ceremony at the Washington Auto Show today, ChargePoint CEO Pasquale Romano said that infrastructure investments like this will get more people to realize that they can use an electric vehicle as their only car, and Jorg Sommer, VP of product marketing and strategy for VW North America, said that it's clear that, "The EV is perfect for the daily driver." BMW, Volkswagen and ChargePoint Join Forces to Create Electric Vehicle Express Charging Corridors on the East and West Coasts. · A goal of nearly 100 DC Fast charging ports will be installed to support long distance and metropolitan electric vehicle travel with the BMW i3, Volkswagen e-Golf and other electric cars, along heavily trafficked corridors on both coasts, supported by Level 2 chargers. · These publicly available charging stations will be added to the existing ChargePoint network and can be easily accessed using a ChargePoint® or ChargeNow card. Washington, D.C., January 22, 2015 – At the 2015 Washington Auto Show, two of the top automakers, BMW of North America and Volkswagen of America, together with ChargePoint, the largest electric vehicle charging network, announced an initiative to create express charging corridors along heavily-traveled routes on the East and West Coasts.
Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow
Thu, 17 Jan 2013A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.
