2000 Bmw Z3 M Roadster Convertible 2-door 3.2l on 2040-cars
Cornelius, North Carolina, United States
I hate to do this because I will never find another one as nice but I need to sell my 2000 Z3M roadster. This is the 2nd Z3M I have owned and the finest one I have seen. It is in simply outstanding condition for its age. I encourage potential buyers to contact me and arrange to see the car in person. This is Imola Red with the factory hardtop and black interior. The car shows some very minimal wear for being 14 years old. The overall interior condition is outstanding. The interior is stock with the exception of the added leather armrest and AC Schnitzer pedal kit shown in the photos. The blown factory subwoofer has been replaced with a aftermarket unit. (The originals are all blown on these cars) The seats and leather are in excellent condition. The exterior is in great condition and the car has always been garaged. The paint is excellent however the hood shows some rock chips which are normal on these cars. The chips were touched up however I would only call the touch up job fair. The rest of the exterior is perfect with no dings including the doors. The trunk carpet has the glue removed to allow easy inspection of the area above the differential mount to check for cracks that have been a issue with these cars if abused. Don't buy one unless you can inspect this area! Tires are in excellent shape with at least 80 percent tread left. Rims are perfect with no curbing. They have been chromed by the previous owner but look fantastic! The factory hardtop is in perfect shape and a stand is included for the hardtop. The convertible top is in excellent condition. The rear window shows some folding issues however is in good condition. A brand new rear window is included if you desire to replace the current one. I saw no need. Overall this car is simply a outstanding example of a Z3M. No one who looks at it believes its 14 years old! The factory hard top is a hard to find very desirable option in perfect shape. The previous owner looked for over a year to find the best M roadster he could. He found the car in California and had it shipped to VA. I looked for 6 months before finding this one. It breaks my heart to sell it but I am out of garage space and I refuse to put the car outside even under a cover. The reserve is very reasonable for a M Roadster of this quality. Please feel free to contact me with any questions and arrange a viewing. The car will be advertised locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early. Thanks for looking!!

Infiniti Q50 Red Sport 400 priced at $48,855, AWD at $50,855
Fri, Apr 8 2016Infiniti's most powerful production model, the new Q50 Red Sport 400, now has a starting price. You'll need at least $48,855 for the rear-drive model or $50,855 for all-wheel drive. (Both figures include the $905 destination charge.) A fully loaded, rear-drive Q50 RS400 with Direct Adaptive Steering, navigation, adaptive cruise control, a heated steering wheel, and Infiniti's entire alphabet soup of safety equipment, tops out at $57,045. (Again, add $2,000 for AWD). When it comes to rear-drive competition, the closest base price to the Q50 is the 320-hp BMW 340i. This German undercuts the Infiniti by two grand, $46,795 to $48,855. But the BMW outprices the Q50 as soon as you start selecting options. A 340i with similar equipment to a loaded Q50 Red Sport 400 costs just under $60,000. All-wheel-drive German competitors also lose out in the price war. Like with the rear-drive models, the BMW 340i xDrive undercuts the Q50 RS400 by around $2,000. Add the options, and the Infiniti becomes a better value. The other two big German rivals, the Audi S4 and Mercedes-Benz C450 AMG start at a higher price and only get more expensive. Technically the S4 starts cheaper than the Q50, but only with the standard manual transmission. Selecting the S-Tronic dual-clutch model kicks the price from $50,125 to $51,125, and going for the top-end Prestige trim will bump potential Audi owners up to $57,025. Throw on must-have S4 options, including adaptive cruise control, adaptive dampers, and a sport differential and you'll be shell out $64,425 for the Audi. The Mercedes-Benz C450 AMG is the priciest choice in this group, starting at $51,725, or roughly $900 more than a base Q50 RS400 with AWD. Options, again, are the downfall here. Building a C450 to match a loaded Infiniti will drive the Mercedes' price up to $64,315. While it occupies something of a weird space relative to these vehicles, it's also worth mentioning the Cadillac CTS VSport. It's the only car in this impromptu pricing comparo that can outgun the Q50, with its 3.6-liter, twin-turbo V6 good for 420 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque. It also starts at $60,950, although that includes plenty of standard equipment. All this means that the Q50 Red Sport 400 represents a relative value. It packs more power than the Germans – 80 more than the 340i, 67 more than the S4, and 38 more than the C450 – and a more comprehensive list of options, too.
What does the open patents deal mean for Tesla ... and BMW?
Sat, Jun 14 2014Gift to the world or trade bait? Tesla Motors announced this week it would open its patents for other automakers to use. That has analysts guessing whether the California-based electric-vehicle maker is looking to either swap trade secrets with other automakers or to expand the proverbial pie that represents the plug-in vehicle market. For its part, Tesla says the answer is B. BMW, which is establishing its i sub-brand of plug-in vehicles, would be a natural collaborator with Tesla, Forbes says. In fact, executives from the two companies met in Europe this week. Details were not released, but a BMW spokesman said, "Both companies are strongly committed to the success of electromobility and discussed how to further strengthen the development of electromobility on an international level." While Tesla brings battery technology to the table, BMW offers its carbon-fiber advancements that lighten vehicle-body weight. Those advancements are key to range-extending efforts and could do wonders for Tesla on its journey to help spur technology for the sake of getting more of the general public to accept plug-in technology as a viable first-car option. Then again, Forbes says Tesla, whose investors include Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler and Toyota, may be keeping its best technologies to itself by not patenting certain advancements at all. What's in Tesla's patent pool? uAutoInsurance analyzed Tesla's 249 patents and found that 104 of them related to battery technology, while 28 pertained to recharging activity, which wasn't surprising (about a quarter of those 249 patents couldn't readily be categorized). Tesla also has nine patents related to sunroof technology. The company is based in California, after all.
DC fast charging standard on 2015 BMW i3 EV
Mon, Dec 1 2014The BMW i3 is about to get a lot cooler. No, wait, a lot warmer. That's because there will a few new standard features in the i3 plug-in vehicles sold in the US, including seat heaters and satellite radio. Oh, and DC fast charging. The department head of BMW i USA, Jacob Harb, told BMW Blog that the company is, "now confident enough that in 2015 we will have the right infrastructure for DC fast charging, so it makes to include it standard in the MY2015." We can expect more details at the Detroit Auto Show in January and Harb told BMW Blog that, "you will be pleasantly surprised" by the announcement. There are a few other potential changes in store for the i3, including a configurable keyfob (like European i3 drivers get) and a heated steering wheel. It's unlikely that a sunroof or Lane Departure Warning will be offered, but Harb said BMW is always open to suggestions.
