1998 Bmw Z3 Roadster Convertible W/hardtop - Only 88k Miles! Automatic on 2040-cars
Dripping Springs, Texas, United States
|
I purchased from the original owner in 2013 and the following have been performed by me since:
- New head gasket - Head professionally machined by a local machine shop - New radiator, hoses, & plastic thermostat housing and rear plastic coolant 90 (a must for any BMW this age) - New spark plugs About the car: I purchased the car in 2013 from the original owner (a school teacher). The car had just been repainted a few months prior to my purchase. After doing so, they had the head gasket issue and did not want to invest more money in repairs. The car was purchased new at BMW of Austin. The interior is in good condition and I just ordered a brand new set of floor mats from BMW. The driver seat has some wear on the leather and the passenger seat is in very good condition. Tires are Michelin and in good amount of tread left on all. Features: - Keyless entry/alarm with BOTH factory keys and BOTH remotes - Optional computer display for average MPG, MPH, fuel range, etc. - Power seats, cruise, windows - CD changer in trunk and cassette player in day - FACTORY HARDTOP - valued at $2,500 to $3,000 from recent eBay sales INCLUDED Minor issues/notes: - As with many BMW's of this age, the odometer backlight is dim and it is hard to read the odometer reading in full sun, but it is fully functional and readable. - The back window in the convertible soft top has been removed and would need to be replaced if desired. I have included a new piece of convertible top clear plastic that can be used for this. I was quoted $500 from one upholstery shop owner to take the top off and sew in the clear vinyl. The cloth of the top is in good condition. Personally - If I drive with the top down it is only for a day or afternoon and then I put the hardtop back on. I am open to trades of equal or lesser value. If less, you will have to come up with the difference in cash. I am not interested in junk, but would consider a project vehicle. Call or email with questions. NO CALLS AFTER 9 PM please. |

BMW i8 added to exotic Dubai police fleet
Thu, Mar 12 2015Apparently the Dubai Police is ready to start expanding its vast collection of exotic cars yet again. After taking a little while off from new purchases, the cops there recently added a Lexus RC F to the stable, and now the force has gone green – well, kind of. The latest high-performance vehicle to wear the green and white livery is a BMW i8. While the video above isn't in English, the clip is self-explanatory by showing off officials getting out of the high-performance hybrid coupe and taking a walk around it. With a total output of a mere 357 horsepower, the i8 is practically the economy entry in the Dubai Police fleet that includes a Bugatti Veyron and McLaren MP4-12C.

BMW pondering hardcore M4 to celebrate 100 years?
Thu, 03 Oct 20132013 is the year for Lamborghini, Aston Martin and the Porsche 911, but 2016 will be the year for BMW. That's when the Munich-based maker of the Ultimate Driving Machine will celebrate its 100th birthday, with what will probably be a year-long celebration. Part of that 365-day party will, reportedly, be an even hotter version of the new BMW M4, which is set to debut in January at the Detroit Auto Show.
Yes, according to Australia's Car Sales, the über-M4 has been hinted at by higher-ups at BMW's M division, who claim the rear seats will be removed, much like the M3 GTS, while other weight-saving measures will be used to try and bring the M4's weight below 3,000 pounds. There's no mention of engine mods, but if the M4's biturbocharged six is as good as we think it'll be, that's not a deal-breaker for us.
The lightening process on the so-called M4 GTS would involve replacing the hood and front fenders with parts made of carbon fiber, while the doors would switch from steel to aluminum. Besides the deletion of the rear seats, Car Sales is predicting lightweight racing buckets, with a carbon-fiber shell and a minimal amount of padding. Expect lots and lots of Alcantara, in place of leather.
Bangle urges auto design shakeup, says industry not innovating
Fri, 30 Aug 2013Controversial designer Chris Bangle, the man behind the notorious E65 BMW 7-Series "Bangle Butt," has some rather sharp criticism for the current crop of automotive designers in an upcoming full-length interview with Automotive News Europe. The preview, posted on Automotive News, details parts of the interview, with the always vocal Bangle lamenting the state of modern automotive design.
"Even concept cars today simply anticipate the next production model coming down the line. Is this innovation? No. And at the end of the day this is what's preventing car design from moving into a new era." Controversial as Bangle's design philosophy may be, we can't help but think he has a point. His so-called "flame surfacing" at BMW and other stylistic elements had a huge influence on modern automotive design, although as the years have passed, there hasn't been much innovation on the same scale.
Interestingly, Bangle also mentions that he's been courted by a few manufacturers that wanted to install the American as the head of their design teams. He's flatly rejected them, telling ANE, "It's not something you can do part time, you have to do it with all your heart and soul or you're going to get it wrong."
