Up for sale is my 1998 BMW Z3 finished in its original atlanta blue metallicover beige leather interior and beige top. The engine is the M52 all aluminum2.8 liter inline 6, putting power to the ground through a 5 speed ZF manualtransmission and torsen lsd at the rear. It's riding on factory optional17" alloys (most Z3's you see have the standard 16" wheels). It also hasoptional factory chrome interior accents on the dash, heated seats, power top,and the BMW trip computer. I also have the original leather owner's manualpouch, as well as all the owner's manuals, addendums, and that originally came with the car. I also have two keys (oneilluminated, one not) and two keyless entry fobs. And coolest of all in myopinion, I have the original window sticker from when the car sold new at theBMW dealer in Duluth, GA!Aftermarket additions include the BMW sport shift knob(I have the original wood shift knob as well that comes with the car), cocomats, leather padded center armrest (much more comfortable than the stockplastic armrest), and a CD player with a USB input for an mp3 player. Alsoincluded is a BMW branded (so you know it cost way more than it should!) USBphone charger that plugs into the cigarette lighter, BMW coffee mugs, and acustom 3 piece luggage set that fits perfectly into the trunk (great for weekendgetaways!). I also have a service indicator reset tool for those that like to dotheir own oil changes, and an airbag light reset tool. 99% of the time when theairbag light comes on it's due to the contacts for the seat belt buckleneeding to be cleaned. The reset tool saves you the hassle of driving to amechanic and having them reset it. The paint does have some chips, nicks, etcfrom 97k+ miles, but it still looks mostly really nice. A show car itisn't, but it's still nice enough that you'll get compliments onit. The wheels do have some cur

BMW shows off 435i Coupe with M Performance parts
Sat, 20 Jul 2013Greetings from the famous Circuito do Estoril racetrack in Portugal. We're here to put the 2014 BMW 4 Series coupe through its paces, and we'll have the chance to sample the updated 2014 BMW M5 with its new Competition Pack, as well. But before going out for some hot laps, we took a few minutes to check out this 435i Coupe that's been fitted with a full suite of goodies from the BMW M Performance parts catalog.
Starting with the exterior, carbon fiber bits are the most noticeable additions, with the lightweight material added in the form of a massive front splitter, mirror caps and a rear spoiler. Other visual changes include lightweight 20-inch wheels, a blacked-out grille, and unique M Performance side stripes. No, that's not a shadow you see under the 435i's strong side character line - that's a stripe. Yes, we're serious.
Inside (we couldn't get photos of the interior, sorry!), BMW has added its sport steering wheel with race display, unique M floormats, steel pedals, and a whole mess of carbon fiber and Alcantara trim.
A look back on BMW, South Carolina and Southern manufacturing
Sat, 29 Dec 2012It has been 20 years since BMW broke ground on its Spartanburg, SC manufacturing facility, and while the automaker doesn't have any plans to mark the moment, economists and industry analysts have taken a closer look at the facility's impact on South Carolina, the South and global manufacturing. As of November, the Spartanburg plant's 7,000 employees cranked out 25,000 vehicles per month, and BMW has poured some $6 billion into the state since the plant opened in 1993. While that figure nearly matches the state's proposed budget for next year, some say there have been drawbacks.
To begin with, South Carolina provided BMW with hundreds of millions of dollars worth of public money and tax breaks with little public oversight, setting a precedent that would repeat itself with other corporations. The Detroit News reports that a Pew Center evaluation found 26 states didn't have a sufficient system for evaluating tax incentive performance. But BMW opened the door for a Southern manufacturing renaissance, with automakers from Mercedes-Benz to Hyundai and Volkswagen opening plants in the Deep South.
While states have raced to offer ever sweeter tax and cash incentives for big manufacturers, officials say BMW is proof the system can pay dividends. You can read the full piece here.
Magna Steyr to assemble as many as 70,000 BMW 5 Series models yearly
Mon, Jul 13 2015Soon, not all BMW 5 Series models will be assembled by BMW. Yes, we know that sounds strange, but it's not at all uncommon. For instance, the Mini Paceman and Countryman hatchbacks – and remember, the Mini brand is owned by BMW – are assembled in Graz, Austria, by Magna Steyr, a company that specializes in building cars for other automakers. Soon, though, the contract Mini has with Magna Steyr will be coming to an end, and that means the Austrian company will have excess capacity on its hands. That production capacity will be filled soon enough, however, by BMW 5 Series models, according to a report from Automobil Produktion in Germany. Magna Steyr will build between 50,000 and 70,000 of BMW's mid-level model, according to the report, but there's no indication of which 5 Series model or models (and there are many shapes and sizes to choose...) will be moved to Austria from BMW's plant in Dingolfing in southern Germany. With 373,053 units sold in 2014, the 5 Series is BMW's second-most-popular model, after the 3 Series. BMW told Automotive News Europe that it doesn't comment on those kinds of reports, which, as is usually the case, is neither confirmation nor denial. It's worth noting that the two-door Mini Paceman isn't a part of the brand's plans moving past 2015, though the Countryman soft-roader that currently stands as the largest member of the automaker's family will soldier on.
