Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Very good condition. Paint shows normal stone pits and minor scratching. There is a small crease on the passenger front fender (deer strike) and some small door dings. One of the side skirts has a deep scratch about 1" long. The wood veneer on the center console cracked in several places but still looks OK."
I'm selling my 1996 M3, Cosmos Black with black leather and 155,000 miles with 5 speed manual. This is a luxury package car which means sport seats, some wood and chrome trim, and non-twisty side skirts. I am the second owner, having bought this car Certified Pre-Owned back in January 1999; I've owned this car for over 14 years and have maintained it very well.
The car is mechanically in excellent condition. Everything works like it should with the single exception of the sunroof tilt feature; that still tilts, but the inside panel isn't moving with it so it won't vent; this started after I replaced the headliner and I assume I forgot to hook something up. It's probably an easy fix but I haven't found the time to fix it.
Mods are very limited: Koni SA shocks, Powerflex control arm bushings front and rear, VDO Gauges (Oil Pressure, Oil Temperature, Volts), HID Low Beams in glass lenses (can't remember which brand - been too long), keyless entry, Euro wiper control module (sets intermittent wiper interval), BSW Speakers front and rear (Stage 2), OMP aluminum pedal covers, and I modified the stock radio to accept an iPod, etc. via an auxiliary cable that comes out of the center console.
The car does have a 6 CD changer, but I removed it from the trunk to make more room. It will be included in the sale.
The interior including the leather seats are in above average condition. There is very little bolster wear and no rips or tears. I have religiously treated the leather since I have owned the car. There is a worn spot on the steering wheel that was there when I bought the car and the wood on the center console is cracked in two spots. On the exterior, there are what I would call normal paint chips and scratches, and several small parking lot dings. There is a crease on the passenger front fender where I hit a deer last year.
Recent mechanical work: I replaced the clutch at 135,000 miles, and the starter and rear shock mounts at 150,000 miles. I have always run Mobil 1 in the engine. It burns about a quart of oil every 1,000 miles which BMW calls normal. I have all the maintenance records that I have kept in a book and most of the receipts. All preventative maintenance is up to date.
Tires: The rears are nearly new Continental Extreme Contact DWS and have plenty of tread left. The fronts are Dunlop SP Sport Signatures.
Clean title in hand, all keys (Lighted Key, Spare Key, Valet Key, Wallet key)

2014 BMW Z4 sDrive35is
Tue, 14 May 2013The BMW Z3/Z4 roadster has never really had a widespread following because it has either been too humble and small a roadster (albeit with some fun and very low-volume M editions) or it has been - in this E89 generation - too casual an image leader with no racier aspirations. The current 480-hp Z4 GTEs don't count, since they are as stock a Z4 as today's Pamela Anderson is the same blonde actress we knew as Heidi on Home Improvement. You know, sort of like those ever-so-slightly modified Toyota Camry coupes competing in NASCAR.
The ultimate highpoint for the BMW Z roadster franchise was at the very start of its life in the mid-90s, in the James Bond film GoldenEye with Pierce Brosnan. The Stinger missiles that Q's team installed behind the Z3's headlights were never fired, and BMW never even offered this self-defense package as an option. Yet another case of the ol' bait and switch.
And in all these subsequent years of Z3s and Z4s strutting their long-hooded stuff, the little sporting Bimmer could really have used a live Stinger missile or two to spice things up. The current Z4 exists, it is pretty dang sexy, and BMW seems content to let it linger there. We just drove the new midlife version of the roadster near BMW headquarters in Munich, and it served to reinforce our feelings.
2015 BMW i8 sets everyone's tongues wagging in Northern Michigan
Fri, 31 Oct 2014Like few other cars we can remember, people want to talk about the 2015 BMW i8. Drive one, and you'll soon find out what we mean. They stop you at gas stations. They accost you in Walgreen's parking lots. They stream out of neighborhood bars, beers in hand.
At least, that was our experience this week during Autoblog's Technology of the Year testing. We had the pleasure of driving the plug-in hybrid BMW sports car up to and around Petoskey, MI, a resort town where seeing such exotics is rare enough, let alone in the off season. It made for some interesting conversations - so we began writing down some of the comments the butterfly-doored coupe inspired. Here's a sampling:
"Wanna race for pinks? I'll go easy on you." - Acne-covered teenage pizza delivery driver in a sad-looking Ford Taurus parked at a Valero gas station near Grayling (which incidentally didn't actually have gas).
BMW wants to expand DriveNow carsharing program to 25 new cities
Wed, Mar 12 2014Daimler's Car2go car-sharing service just announced that it will debut in Rome, its 26th global city. Now, BMW says it wants to expand its own carsharing program to, wait for it, 25 more cities. Coincidence? We think not. BMW is looking to bring its DriveNow carsharing program, with its Mini Coopers and 1 Series, to as many as 15 new cities in Europe as well as 10 in the US, Bloomberg News says, citing comments BMW executive Peter Schwarzenbauer made at the Geneva Motor Show last week. The service is now operational in Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Munich, Dusseldorf and San Francisco and serves about a quarter-million people. Of course, it's that last city, where DriveNow started operations in August 2012, that's been somewhat problematic. San Francisco has tough guidelines when it comes to where the cars can be parked, with so few public parking areas to choose from. DriveNow charges $39 for membership in San Francisco, then $12 for the first half hour of driving and 32 cents for each additional minute. DriveNow competes directly against Car2go, which charges around $25 to become a member and then 41 cents a minute to rent a Smart ForTwo.
