1998 Bmw Z3 Isr-3 Roadster on 2040-cars
Brownsville, Vermont, United States
This Estoril Blue Roadster BMW Z3 is the ultimate performance version of that car, an BMW/Dinan ISR-3 Roadster. Less than 100 BMW Dinan ISR-3 were ever produced. I am told that the actual number was 46. ISR-3 roadster stands for Intercooled Supercharged Roadster. Each ISR-3 made is unique, they are numbered. Each has a prominent number plate under the hood. And this one bears the number “07”.
The ISR-3 Package, which stands for Intercooled, Supercharged Roadster, adds virtually every high-performance upgrade that Dinan offered for the E36/7 M Roadster. The S52 3.2L inline-six engine now features a Dinan/Vortech belt-driven supercharger that delivers 10lbs of boost, with a Dinan air-to-air intercooler to prevent heat soak. To best utilize the added power from the supercharger, the engine also features Dinan performance software, high-flow intake, high-flow throttle bodies, high-flow fuel injectors and a low-pressure Dinan Free Flow exhaust system. The 5-speed manual transmission is also upgraded with a lightweight clutch and the OEM rear end has been replaced by a 3.38 limited slip differential. The car rolls on lightweight 18″ Dinan wheels and the suspension has been improved with an aluminum & carbon fiber strut tower brace, Koni dampers, performance springs and larger sway bars. All said and done, this M Roadster pumps out incredible horse power and torque in a 3,100lb package that will rocket to 60mphin the low 4s and pulls .91gs on the skid pad and touch a top speed near 160mph.
Factory features of this M Roadster include a premium Harman/Kardon audio system, heated sport seats, optional AM/FM radio with CD player, a sport steering wheel, power-operated soft top, roll bars and air conditioning.

How to charge up your BMW i3 with a Honda
Sat, Sep 13 2014Behold a cheaper version of BMW's range extender for its i3 plug-in. And it's brought to you by ... Honda? Sort of, if you take the approach that Gadget Review took when it looked for an alternative to ponying up the $4,000 or so for the gas-powered i3 range extender that comes from the factory. What was procured was a Honda portable generator for Home Depot for the experiment, which involved gassing the generator up in a parking lot, plugging in the i3 and going out for a cup of coffee. The result was that, after about a half-hour of charging, the i3 picked up about four miles of driving range. Not exactly revolutionary but it least a bit instructive. And given that Honda generators start at about $800, the idea, while clunky, is potentially cash-saving. Gadget Review briefly took the experiment one-step further by trying to run the generator inside the back of the car and plugging in, complete with a rigged-up ventilation system, but the host thought better of it once he realized that there'd be suffocation involved. Why this was never tried on the Nissan Leaf, we'll never know. Check out Gadget Review's five-minute video below.
NHTSA urges owners of recalled Takata airbag vehicles to take immediate action
Mon, 20 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Department of Transportation are taking the unusual step of issuing a followup press release urging owners of certain recalled vehicles "to act immediately" to fix their cars and trucks. The problem in question concerns the repair campaigns for rupturing Takata airbag inflators issued in June and covers a long list of models from Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Acura, Mazda, BMW, Nissan, Infiniti, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Oldsmobile and Pontiac.
While NHSTA doesn't specifically say why the recall is vital in the new release, Toyota's own explanation in its newly announced renotification campaign earlier today sheds some new light on the topic. According to the Japanese automaker, in testing, Takata found a possible link between the rupturing airbag inflators and high humidity. NHTSA is advocating that all owners pursue repairs immediately if they haven't already done so already. This is especially crucial for those drivers especially in Florida, Puerto Rico, Guam, Saipan, American Samoa, Virgin Islands and Hawaii because of the humid conditions there.
We don't need to tell you how dangerous an inadvertent airbag deployment could be - even in a stationary vehicle - but adding to the Takata issue is fears that the deployment could lead to shrapnel being sprayed into the cabin.
BMW readying impressive track-focused M Power App
Thu, 06 Jun 2013There are a lot of questionable automotive apps that people put on their smartphones these days, but BMW has created what could be one of the most useful and integrated car apps ever. The new M Power App, which will be available this summer only for Apple iPhones, allows BMW owners a whole new way to record their performance on the street or on a track. During the launch of the recent BMW M6 Gran Coupe, BimmerPost was able to get a full demonstration of how this new app works.
Far more involved than the current M Power Meter, the M Power App records data from in-car sensors and acts as a telemetry tool to allow drivers to see how they did on a particular track. Aside from an overlay on a track map showing acceleration and braking applications as well as head-to-head comparisons, the app also shows a line graph of everything from brake and throttle inputs to g-force, fuel mileage and engine speed. A small visual on the screen also shows steering angle, and lap times and speeds can all be stored as well. The data can even be shared with others, whether for bragging rights or instruction purposes.
This app works on any newer BMW equipped with the BMW Apps option, but the phone must be tethered to the car and the data understandably cannot be viewed while driving. Scroll down for the video demonstration recorded recently at Austin's Circuit of the Americas.
