Selling our '00 BMW Z3. We purchased it 3 years ago from the 2nd owner in Atlanta GA. In February someone hit the rear quarter while I was pulling out of a parallel parking spot. We filed a claim this summer to repair the damage so we could sell it, and the claim totaled the car. We have been using it regularly with this damage since February. It drives great and there's no reason to let it go to a salvage yard, so I bought it back from the insurance company. The toe is out of spec because it needs a new trailing arm, and between the dent and the trailing arm, the insurance company totaled the car. I've attached its alignment specs below.
It had H&R springs with Bilstein shocks installed in early 2009. The excessive camber is due to this. The toe is off due to the trailing arm. It's a GA car so it has no rust. It has never been driven in the snow. It's currently located in Washington DC. The DSC light is on and isn't working. I don't know if it's a speed sensor, the aftermarket wheels, the unit, or what. It doesn't throw any code to a Peake tool, and the ABS works fine. I haven't taken it to a shop to have it diagnosed. No check engine light, no airbag light, etc. When we purchased it, it came with a lot of maintenance records, but several were lost in a recent move.
I do have some records, and luckily I have some of the important ones. The most important being that in January 2008 @ 116k miles, the engine and transmission were replaced. The engine overheated and a used engine with 75k miles on it was put in. A used transmission with 35k miles on it was also installed due to the original sometimes being difficult to get into gear. The clutch was replaced as well as the cooling system. The total for this work was $7,315.03 and included: Engine w/ 75k Miles Transmission with 35k Miles Clutch Water Pump Thermostat Belt Tensioner This was all done 6 years and 30k miles ago. Meaning the engine currently has 115k, the transmission 65k, and the clutch 30k. A new alternator was installed in 2009 and the valve cover gasket and plugs were done at 136k in 12/2010. All 4 tires were replaced at 128k miles in March 2009. Rogue RSMs were installed in 9/2008. The suspension and wheels were also done that same winter. The head gasket and spark plugs were done at 136k miles. These are all the items I have the records for. There are more items that have been done, like the exterior gaskets and a full respray by the original owner, but I do not have the records. I do have some showing the receipts for the new shift knob, brake handle, and various interior trim pieces. Most everything works as it should. The semi-automatic top works with no problems. The A/C blows cold and has every since we bought it. The heat works great. Both power windows and power mirrors work as they should. The ABS works, but the DSC does not. Cruise control works properly. The clutch engages correctly and only has 30k on it. The transmission shifts perfectly and smoothly with no grinds. The suspension is a little bouncy as it is pretty stiff. As far as ownership history goes, the original owner had it until the engine was replaced. It had been keyed and the entire car was repainted at the same time. The second owner, an employee at the Spartanburg, SC BMW plant, purchased it then (2008) and sold it to us in 2011 with 137,400 miles on it. All panels retained the original VIN stickers except for the trunk lid, because it had been hit at some point under the first owner's watch. In the last 3 years, we have put under 9000 miles on it. It has been a city car and all commuting has been done on the DC Metro. It has been used for the occasional city drive and mostly for weekend drives out of town. It received a new battery in 2012 and has not needed anything aside from that. It will be due for an oil change at 150k miles. I've tried to describe it pretty thoroughly, but please email me with any questions. The title is currently clear, but we have received the total loss paperwork from the insurance company and I believe the DMV will issue a salvage title when we or you take it to them. I am not sure, so I went ahead and listed the title as salvage, as I believe that is the title you will receive. I will call the DMV tomorrow and verify this, so for the time being bid knowing there may be a delay while the DMV processes the title. I have the existing title on-hand. Please only bid if you plan to buy, otherwise ask questions. Your deposit is non-refundable. Meaning if you change your mind, you will not be getting it back! Be sure before you bid! Thank you and happy bidding.

BMW X1 spied in the snow, on the 'Ring
Thu, Mar 19 2015The next-generation BMW X1 is moving ever closer to production, and it reportedly launches in Europe in June. With just a few months left of development, the Bavarian brand is making sure to get in as much work in as possible – as the shots above show. According to our spies, all of these pictures were taken on the same day, but BMW was running two simultaneous evaluations of the crossover in Europe. At the sunny Nurburgring, the company was doing high-speed tests on the famous track. Meanwhile in chilly Sweden, cold-weather analysis was happening. Regardless of the location, these are some of the least camouflaged X1s photographed yet. Based on the shots, it appears that BMW is evolving the compact CUV's design rather than overhauling it, but there are a few dashes of styling from the 2 Series Gran Tourer in the grille and headlights, as well. The 'Ring shots also clearly show off a panoramic sunroof. While these examples wear a lot of obfuscation at the back, it's easy to make out BMW's LED taillights. The X1 shares its UKL platform with the Gran Tourer and the latest Minis, but possibly offers all-wheel drive. It's reportedly going to be offered with a similar range of turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder and 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines, as well.

Jalopnik and Consumer Reports see who can pull off the best snow drift
Fri, Feb 20 2015The weather throughout much of the United States is pretty awful at the moment with some combination of extremely low temperatures, inches of snow and maybe some ice underneath it all. The folks at Jalopnik and Consumer Reports are making the absolute best out of a difficult situation by heading to CR's snow-covered test track and attempting to make the longest drift in a quartet of very different performance vehicles. Jalopnik brought along a Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S Wagon, a Subaru WRX STI, a BMW 228i and a 1973 Volkswagen Baja Bug (heck yeah!) for the challenge. Also, the track was perfect for this group, with a mix of packed snow in places and still a few inches of unsullied powder in spots too. Ostensibly the goal was to get the tail to step out through a particular corner, but in reality this was more about having hilarious fun in the snow with fast cars. The result just looks like the best time humanly possible in this weather.
BMW says yes to 1 Series M successor, no to M6 Gran Coupe with xDrive
Wed, 13 Mar 2013If you're anything like us, the first half of that headline made you smile. The BMW 1 Series M Coupe was, without a doubt, one of our favorite cars from the past few years, and according to a BMW Blog interview, Dr. Friedrich Nitschke, head of the company's M division, has confirmed that a successor is in the works.
"We haven't made a decision yet, but the 1M coupe was so successful, that in my opinion, I am absolutely sure we will build a successor," Nitschke told BMW Blog. Currently, BMW only offers the M135i version of the new 1 Series hatch in Europe, which Nitschke says is "not a pure M car."
Moving elsewhere in the M range, BMW Blog asked about the M6 Gran Coupe that recently debuted at this year's Detroit Auto Show. The obvious competitors for this car will be higher-power versions of the Porsche Panamera and Audi RS7, but while both of those offer all-wheel drive, the M6 only sends power to its rear wheels.
