1999 Bmw Z3 M Coupe Coupe 2-door 3.2l on 2040-cars
Fair Oaks, California, United States
|
After doing all I could in trying to keep it, its just doesn't make any sense to. Its quite literally the best car I have ever owned. I have had the car since July and I have had zero problems with it. It's a 1999 M Coupe with around 147k miles. I am the third owner but the car does have a Ca salvaged title in my name. I do have all the before pictures to show the damage. The car runs absolutely perfect and has very little issues. The exterior is about a 9.5/10 and the interior is about 8.5/10. No expense was spared to bring this car back to great condition. The car has recently had a full tune-up (spark plugs, oil, filters) and I have recently (past three months) have done the following. Full shifter assembly rebuild New valve cover gasket New gear oil Full aluminum mushimoto radiator Spal electric fan conversion New water pump New thermostat New power-steering pump Rebuilt and resprayed headlights Ddm tuning 55w hid's Tinted windows Full repaint and covered with PPG clear coat New LeatherZ armrest and new shift boot New M shift knob Cluster "Dim Light" rebuild Moving seat rebuild Seat tilt mod New HVAC control light bulbs Kenwood kdc-x997 Bluetooth deck with stream and talk capabilities New oem motor mounts New oem transmission mounts New oem Guibo ECIS carb legal intake Scorpion matte grilles Depo dark bumper and fender lights New oem M Logo black floor mats P.O did the control arm bushings, tie rods Tires have about 40 percent left and all four roadstars have ZERO curb-rash. I'm pretty sure there is more but that's all I can think of right now. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 916/202/3441 Before Pictures: As you can see, no frame damage, no airbag deployment, no motor damage. Strictly cosmetic. The bad: The car had a small oil leak so I traced it back to the valve cover. I replaced the valve cover and the leak almost stopped entirely. I see a couple oil drops every few days and have traced it back to what I believe is a faulty oil pan gasket. The oil leak is extremely minor and wanted whomever is interested to know. |

Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
BMW names new head of M division
Wed, 24 Sep 2014BMW's performance division has been run by Dr. Friedrich Nitschke since 2011, developing, among other products, the new M3 and M4. But soon the good doctor will be retiring, and BMW has just named his successor.
Taking Nitschke's place as chairman of BMW M GmbH will be Franciscus van Meel (pictured at right), who until recently served as managing director of Audi Quattro GmbH - the rival outfit that makes Ingolstadt's performance models, including the R8 supercar and RS line of performance models.
Van Meel will join BMW on October 1, presumably to learn the ropes from Nitschke before the 59-year-old executive steps down at the end of the year. Back in January, Audi named Heinz Peter Hollwerweger as head of Quattro GmbH and reassigned van Meel to its Beijing R&D center, a role which evidently didn't suit him as well as creating Autobahn-storming German muscle cars.
2014 BMW X5
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Is Better Than Ever Still Good Enough?
By now, all but the staunchest of traditionalists have moved past the shock and horror of seeing their favorite automotive brands branching into categories and segments that break with their previously accepted norms. In other words, you and I don't really care all that much if the BMW M3 is powered by an inline six or a V8, or whether it boasts a turbocharger, just so long as the end result is an awesome car. Similarly, we don't get all hot under the collar seeing that same M3 share space on the showroom floor with a brace of SUVs and crossovers... or, as BMW continues to insist, Sports Activity Vehicles.
Time, as they say, heals all wounds, and the BMW X5 has been around long enough, having first seen the light of day in 1999, that anyone offended by its existence has since gotten over it. Plus, the X5 is a legitimately nice vehicle to drive, offering such desirable qualities to family men and women as seating for up to seven, all-wheel drive and a commandingly tall view of the road. For the enthusiast set, the X5 serves up a taut chassis and powerful engine options.
