This is my 1999 BMW M Roadster. I LOVE this car, I am selling only because I bought an M3 and really don't need both. If you are looking you already know the M Roadster rarity. They only made 8900

total. Check out the wiki artricle!

I looked for over a year to find this one, an Imola Red on Black with the factory hard top. It has been well maintained. In the past year, new window regulators, new tires, new brakes, new Bilstein struts, and the wheels were refinished, and complete service. There is NO curb rash.

There are no mods aside from the Bilsteins. She runs and drives perfectly, I would drive it anywhere. AC is ice cold. No shuddering or pulling when braking, no strange vibrations.

Over all it's a 9/10. The sets are in great shape for age, the soft top is in avg shape. The rear window is new, but I have not installed it, it is in the box. It zips in, so takes under an hour from what I have read. The old window is fogged as consistent with age.

There is a mark here or there consistent with age. I had the car detailed 2 months ago, including clay bar and hand wax. She is pretty darn clean. The front bumper has marks consistent with age, the interior is a solid 9/10. The top can sometimes take a few pushes of the button to engage, but it has never let me down. It isn't weak, just sometimes takes a few pushes of the button to get the hint. The radio powers on with no dead pixels, but no sound, so would need a replacement or an aftermarket. If you are going to do it right, the factory speakers arent great in these cars so a new stereo and speakers is highly recommended and a very worthwhile upgrade. I enjoy the engine sound myself. ;)

The windows operate like new, thanks to the new regulators. No weird dash lights.

This car has been driven carefully and well maintained. Not abused, or raced, and has been garaged.

The factory hard-top ($1800 on ebay) is included with the sale.

Also included is the factory wind-screen ($290) and the original owners manual, as well as the original BMW tire repair kit. Also a full car cover is included.

I never get out of the car without a huge grin on my face. It is just a joy to drive. This is one that needs nothing but to hop in and enjoy.

NO reserve! If you are local feel free to come by and have a look. It is going to make the next owner very happy. Clear title in hand, never wrecked.

Thanks for looking!

Tesla, BMW and Nissan meeting in secret to discuss charging tech

Tue, Jun 17 2014

It's interesting what's happening in the electric vehicle field. It used to be that BMW and Tesla were competitors. Then – and of course they're still competing, especially in the public mind Â– they were working together on ... something. Maybe. And now, the Financial Times reports that the two luxury automakers are meeting with Nissan. Again, maybe. The scuttlebutt is that the three companies are interested in working together on something to do with charging electric vehicles, potentially a global recharging standard. Currently, when it comes to fast charging, BMW uses the SAE Combo standard, Nissan uses CHAdeMO and Tesla uses its own Superchargers. The meeting was prompted by Tesla opening of all of its patents the other day, FT says. Speaking during the recent annual shareholder meeting, Musk said he was "more than happy to have other manufacturers" use Tesla's Superchargers but that, "there is no other electric car that can accept anything close to 135 kilowatts." Let's assume the technical hurdle can be overcome. With any potential patent/licensing problems out of the way, these discussions with BMW and Nissan might be revolving around this other angle that Musk mentioned: "They (other automakers) just have to contribute to the capital cost, so figure out what percentage of the time are their cars using the Supercharger network and then they can make a contribution proportionate to their customer usage of the Supercharger network." That certainly sounds like something that could take some time to figure out.

Tesla exec calls rival EVs 'little more than appliances'

Wed, Aug 3 2016

Tesla's Vice President of Business Development Diarmuid O'Connell called the company's competition "little more than appliances" at the Center for Automotive Research's Management Briefing Seminars in Traverse City, MI yesterday. "In essence, [mainstream automakers] delivered little more than appliances," O' Connell said. "Now, appliances are useful. But they tend to be white. They tend to be unemotional." According to Automotive News, O'Connell's main critique is that vehicles like the Nissan Leaf and BMW i3 don't deliver enough performance or range to draw the attention of consumers outside of a small group. The solution, in O'Connell's mind, is more power, more range, more excitement and a lower price – that last point is particularly rich coming from an automaker whose cheapest current offering, the Model S 60, costs $66,000 Â– although the cheaper Model 3 is on the horizon, way out there, somewhere. But some EVs are better than none, O'Connell added. "On balance, I'm happier that [traditional automakers are] doing these cars than not," O'Connell said. "I just wish they would do them better and faster." O'Connell also used his appearance at the Management Briefing Seminars to launch a volley at the Michigan legislature, blaming its opposition to Tesla's direct-sales model for the lack of available EVs in the Wolverine State. "I think if the Michigan Legislature would allow Tesla to sell cars in Michigan, we could probably address [the lack of available electric cars]," O'Connell said. Related Video:

Volkswagen Group, BMW Z4 top Total Value Awards by Strategic Vision

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

It was just nine months ago that Strategic Vision announced its 2011 Total Value Awards, but you don't have to wait until next year for the 2012 awards. The Volkswagen Group keeps its lead as the number one brand, with seven products taking top category spots: Golf, Jetta Wagon, CC, Eos and Audi A3 Wagon, Q5 and Q7. Strategic Vision says "true innovation" - "rich and impactful, intuitive, motivational, in-depth and is able to trigger description by the user in great specificity" - is the open secret of the brands with the strongest showings. Results are culled from 77,153 owners covering more than 350 new cars bought between September of 2011 and 2012 ranked in the Total Value Index (TVI).
Other notable winners are Hyundai-Kia following VW in the brand category and having the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Sorento among category winners, the BMW Z4 taking the premium roadster category and the highest overall score of any vehicle, the Chevrolet Volt continuing to gather silverware in the Special Category, nabbing the second-highest score of all and representative of "nearly perfect innovation," and Chrysler and Dodge being most improved.
Check out the press release below for your day's dose of jargon and all the winners.
