LOOK NO FURTHER >>>>>>>>> YOU HAVE FOUND YOUR MID LIFE CRISIS DREAM CAR !!!! {{{{ PLEASE READ FURTHER DOWN TO SEE MY SPECIAL OFFER IN REGARDS TO MY B.I.N. OPTION }}} I hate to sell my "SPY CAR", but I have lost my winter storage and don't want to wait till fall to sell. I lose out on a driving season and you gain one! I purchased this Classic BMW beauty on E-Bay in the fall of 2008. At the time the vehicle only had 5,000 miles and was and still is in like new condition. I flew to Boston and drove her back home to Canada. The "beamer" is an American built vehicle and the odometer (distance travelled) reads in mileage and not kilometres. Like most vehicles on the road, the speedometer shows both, mileage and kilometres For anyone in Canada that might be concerned if the Z-3 is Canadian Certified, then please don't be! I installed the day time running light module and it had no other issues for passing the Canadian safety. I have the R.I.V. certificate sticker placed on the interior of the trunk lid. { See Photo's } Plus I would not been able to have driven it for the last 6 years if it wasn't certified! Amazingly, she only has 16,900 miles, or 27,200 klm. That averages out to only 1,000 miles a year. I am a VERY FUSSY vehicle owner and truly babied this Z-3 from day one. She had been my dream car when they came out in 1996! Oil and filter change every season, no exceptions. Coolant flush and fill was performed 3 yrs ago. She really didn't need much else! The paint was waxed at least twice a season. Our driving season is short, only from mid May till mid October. I always waited until mid-May to put her on the road as I wanted all the winter road grime to be cleaned away. The paint sparkles as she was still in the show room. At 50 plus years of age, I can assure you that I am NO speed demon. I never did anything stupid with this car, in regards to speed or misuse! This car is a real head turner and conversation piece. Don't expect to get gas or go shopping without someone "drooling" and wanting to talk about this beauty. My license plate reads "SPY CAR", because James Bond used a BMW Z-3 in the 1996 movie Golden Eye. The first time that a German car was used for James Bond and the first movie ever to show off the all new Z-3 . The beamer is equipped with a computer performance chip, a performance exhaust and a K&N air filter system. These three items help bring the horse power up from the stock 190 to apprx. 210. The performance exhaust is not too loud and won't break any windows ha-ha, but does give the car a very nice "throaty" sound! I still have the original exhaust and you are welcome to take that home with you as well. I also installed a three (3) spoke European Style steering wheel. Looks so much nicer than the stock wheel. I have also installed roll bars that finishes off that unique roadster convertible look. The front part of the hood and front bumper have a clear vinyl protective cover, that the original owner had installed. Even though the Michelin Pilot tires are 17 years old, you would think they were new. No cracks on the side walls with plenty of tread depth. The "Zed" was always just a sunny day summer drive and seldom driven in the rain. Always garaged by mid October. She comes with the original set of keys and key-less entry. She also has an Alarm system. I have also purchased the cream colour, tailored fit car cover along with the hood nose bra, front bumper bra and R.V. Mirror covers. I could go on ALL day bragging about my "Spy Car", but I will finish with the following; You will simply not be disappointed with this Z-3. If I love it then I am almost certain that you will as well. As I said earlier, I am extremely fussy about the vehicles I drive and how I take care of them. Pride in ownership shows, inside and out!!! I also wanted to mention that this Z-3 is more than ready to take on any road trip you might have in mind. She is presently still in storage and will stay that way until she finds a new home. I have NO plans to drive her this year so the mileage will not change. I will also change the engine oil and filter before she leaves and do my best to make sure she is road ready. If you use my BIN option, I will give pay your first $500.00 usd for either your shipping or travel cost. I will also include the cream colour car cover { worth $300.00 plus } and both hood and front bumper bra's along with the R.V. mirror covers. { worth another $200.00 plus } . All three items would easily cost you over $500.00 usd. Save $1,000.00 just for using my BIN option!!! If you are the lucky winner, I will also need a $1,000.00 deposit on Pay-Pal within 48 hrs. The remain cost of the vehicle can be paid with either a Bank Draft or Money Order. You can also come with cash if you are picking her up and driving her home. Awesome time of the year for a "top down" trip on the highway! If you are pre-paying in advance, then I will need sufficient time to clear your choice of payment, before the car can leave. NO PAY PAL please for final payment. I pride myself in being an honest, friendly seller with very good communication skills. I do my best to answer all questions in a timely manner and remember, there are NO stupid questions. The more you ask the more you will know about this Classic Z-3 and the more you will realize that you should purchase her!! If you are shipping this vehicle, I will be happy to do what I can, to help you in this process. Please be aware that you are fully responsible for obtaining any documentation that is required for this car to cross the border, registering and insuring this vehicle once you get it home. Again, I will be happy to work with you and help in any way I can. Last but not least. Please don't be concerned about the date stamp on the pictures. Yes the pictures were taken in 2009, but in NO WAY is the Z-3 any different today then it was then. Only the mileage has changed. I only drove it apprx. 2,000 miles a year. My drive back from Boston was just over 2,000 miles. I sincerely apologies if I have made any errors in my write up. I am being completely honest and up front about this Z-3 and tried to describe it as accurately as possible. If you read something that doesn't make sense, then please don't hesitate to bring it to my attention! THANKS! Thanks for reading and all the BEST in your search! |

Daimler, BMW partnering up on wireless charging
Tue, Jul 15 2014Plug-in vehicle advocates can get all warm and fuzzy about two Germany heavyweight automakers getting together for the sake of wireless charging. That's because Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler and BMW will work together to speed up development of a wireless charging system. While not a ton of details were divulged, we can still rejoice. Daimler says the system will consist of an on-board coil and another coil that can be placed within the garage floor or someplace similarly stationary. The system will charge at 3.6 kilowatts and with 90 percent efficiency. No details were released about the system's price or when it would be available, but Daimler shouldn't wait too long, since other OEMs are already talking about their own wireless charging systems. Daimler obviously has some skin in the game here, since Mercedes-Benz will start sales of its S500 plug-in hybrid in September. That model, which was first shown off last August at the Frankfurt Auto Show, can go as far as 20 miles on electric power alone and will get fuel economy of about 84 miles per gallon equivalent. And it's easy to imagine an i3 or i8 driver getting a kick out of never needing to touch a cord. This spring, reports sprung up that fellow German automaker Volkswagen was preparing a wireless charging option for its electric vehicles as soon as 2017. You can check out Daimler's press release below. Wireless charging of electric drive and plug-in hybrid vehicles: PLUG IN HYBRID - unplugged One of the next steps on the way to perfect electric drive and plug-in hybrid vehicles is wireless charging. Daimler and BMW have now agreed on jointly developing and implementing one common technology. Wireless charging of the battery will make the handling of electric drive and plug-in hybrid vehicles even easier. Mercedes-Benz will commence fleet testing of this "unplugged" technology with the S 500 Plug in HYBRID soon, in order to develop a real S-Class solution in recharging the high voltage battery in terms of comfort and ease of operating in the near future. The system consists of two components: a secondary coil integrated into the under tray of the car and a primary coil integrated into a floor plate that can be placed on a garage floor for instance. Electrical energy is transmitted contact-free without the need for a cable, at a power rate of 3.6 kW and with a degree of efficiency of 90%.
More details emerge on hotter BMW i8S coming next year
Thu, Nov 27 2014The BMW i8 recently won the Autoblog Technology of the Year award, and it's going to get even better. In October, Automobile magazine reported that BMW's i brand is working on an i8S that would be stiffer and more powerful, and celebrate the marque's centenary in 2016. At the time, one of two power unit combinations was suggested, either one of them good for more than 500 horsepower. Car magazine has added more info on the coupe said to be called Project M100, saying that in addition to being a birthday gift for BMW, it will also be a going-away statement to current chairman Norbert Reithofer, who is expected to retire in 2016 or 2017. It will also be so thoroughly reworked that there will be plenty of daylight between it and the standard i8: a more integrated carbon fiber and aluminum chassis, a wider range of materials used in the build, a larger luggage bay due to the omission of rear seats, a more aggressive suspension supporting heartier brakes and wider tires, and - perhaps - a different aero and ground-effects package to be visually different and make the most of the alterations. As for that power unit, Car says that the two options mentioned by Automobile are still under consideration, being either a 2.0-liter twin-turbo four-cylinder with 320 horsepower and a 204-hp electric motor, or a 3.0-liter straight six with 480 hp and an electric motor with 109 hp. Either choice gets an integrated starter motor good for another 27 hp, and a total torque number of roughly 520 pound-feet, 100 additional lb-ft than the current car. Word is that it will be shown for the centenary in 2016 then go on sale by the end of 2017.
Macron hosts BMW and Volvo execs as they consider moving operations to the U.S.
Mon, Nov 21 2022PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday will host a dinner with a number of European chief executives to convince them not to move production to the United States, where lower energy prices and the Inflation Reduction Act is proving a lure. European leaders have been alarmed by massive anti-inflation measures passed by Joe Biden's administration, which make tax breaks conditional on U.S-manufactured content and which EU industries say make investment in Europe less competitive. "We're having difficulties with companies which are starting to consider offshoring their production or making future investment outside Europe," a French official said, listing high energy costs and the U.S. legislation as reasons. At the Elysee palace, Macron will seek to convince executives from companies including chemical groups Solvay and Air Liquide, carmakers Volvo and BMW, pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca and telecom groups Ericsson and Orange to stay in Europe and choose France for their future investments. Macron, who has called on the European Union to launch its own 'European Buy Act' to subsidise European production, has encountered resistance from the more anti-protectionist members of the bloc. It was unclear what Macron would tell the executives to convince them not to move to the U.S. But France has unveiled a number of measures over the weekend to cushion the impact of high energy bills for French companies. European companies have been increasingly strident about the impact of soaring energy prices since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which has pushed up gas and electricity prices. Eric Trappier, CEO of Dassault Aviation, who heads the French federation of metals industries, warned in the Les Echos newspaper over the weekend that Europe should protect its own industry more aggressively or see it move to other shores.
