I have a BMW Z3 thats wanting a new home. I love the car, but it is a constant struggle between me and my two teenage boys who are dying to drive it. Time to sell before they can. It is 13 years old, so there're little tidbits that are wrong with it. The doors unlock, but you have to turn the key a hundred times to get it to work. I use the trunk lock as it locks and unlocks the doors when you lock or unlock the trunk. The driver seat is a little worn, but it is not ripped. There is a ding on the trunk lid. The center console speaker is going out.There are minor interior deficiencies, but WELL within the criteria for a 13 year old car. The oil level light comes on, then goes off, so I bought a sensor to fix the problem, see below.
Now the good news:
It has the following recently installed: Windshield (wasnt broken, just pitted), alternator and battery, slot and drilled rotors and brake set on front and back, new guibo (that is the european version of a universal joint, services are up to date with only synthetic oils, and the rear shocks have been replaced. The dreaded valve cover leak that is common for these cars has been fixed, tires are about 70% if not more, A/C is cold, and all filters have been changed (including fuel).This car looks great, drives great and wherever you go, I promise, someone will tell you how cool your car looks. The paint is red, but with a hint of orange and for some reason (which really baffeled but surprised me gleefully) people comment on it all the time.
Parts come with this car as well: Input and output exhaust sensors, oil level sensor, front struts, front and rear wheel bearings, carrier bearing, assorted interior buttons, logo's, and BMW service reset tool. Besides the Oil Level sensor, none of these parts are bad, I just started collecting parts the internet said was common to go out. So you get a head start on any parts. The car also comes with a cover for when the top is retracted.
I am selling this car with NO WARRANTY implied or suggested, is sold (as is) and being sold locally (I reserve to end the auction early unless the buy it now has been used). I try my best to be as honest and upfront with my auctions and I appreciate you doing the same. Ask any question and I will tell you everything you need. This car has ZERO rust!! This IS a southern car.
I will help in the delivery up to 50 miles or to the knoxville, tn station where a pick-up for delivery can occur. Or if you want it picked up at my home I will help in that to. If you are local, feel free to come by and drive the car to see how amazing and happy you'll be. Thank You and happy bidding!
Also: I am selling this car WELL BELOW what its worth. I have a home project that I want to start and I cant do that until this is sold.

BMW joins the early holiday advertising fray with three new ads
Thu, 06 Nov 2014October 31 is no longer known as Halloween, or All Saints' Eve or even as that day when all children simultaneously develop huge cavities. It's now known as the day before Christmas/holiday advertising begins. Seriously, as of November 1, it seems like companies across the country and from every industry have declared open season on holiday ad campaigns. It's all premature enough that we're already feeling our inner Grinch showing, but at least some of the ads are better done than others.
Among them are new spots from BMW, which has arrived with this mini-campaign of three 30-second, Christmas-themed spots. There's a cameo from Santa Claus, who's at the helm of a sleek M6 Gran Coupe in one spot, while a 3 Series Gran Coupe slices through a slalom of Christmas trees in another. The final spot, called "Road Home", doesn't focus so much on the brand's "Ultimate Driving Machines," as it does the trip home for the holidays.
We've embedded all three videos below, so take a look and then let us know what you think of this seemingly perpetual holiday marketing calendar creep - and the BMW ads in particular - in Comments.
BMW already considering four cylinders for next M3
Tue, 13 May 2014The cylinder count in BMW's M3 has fluctuated over the years. The original M3 debuted in 1985 packing a 2.3-liter inline-four, but subsequent models went with sixes until the outgoing generation upped the cylinder count to eight. With its latest model, BMW has dropped back to six cylinders with a pair of turbos taking the place of the extra pistons. But the next M3 sedan and M4 coupe could go back to the model line's roots with a four-cylinder engine.
Speaking with BMW M product manager Carsten Pries at the launch of the latest M3 and M4 in Portugal, our Aussie compatriots at Motoring.com.au report that "you could see a future [M3] powered by a four-cylinder engine." Offsetting the reduction in cylinders, the lighter engine would benefit the vehicle's weight and balance, thus enhancing performance.
We wouldn't expect the next M3 and M4 to lose any power in the process, though: Output in the M3 has only risen over the generations, from 192 horsepower in the four-pot original to 282 hp in the six-cylinder E36, 338 hp in the six-cylinder E46, 414 hp in the V8 E90 and 425 ponies in the new turbocharged six-cylinder F80 model. With that latter model having just debuted, it'll likely be a good six or seven years before the next version comes along, giving BMW plenty of time to settle on an engine - however many cylinders and turbochargers it has. In the meantime, you'll have to forgive us for taking a romp down M3 memory lane in the fresh gallery of images above.
BMW i5 could get Toyota-sourced hydrogen power
Tue, 18 Nov 2014It's starting to feel like the automotive landscape is right on the cusp of a boom in hydrogen-fueled vehicles. After all, the Toyota FCV is nearly ready, Volkswagen is readying a fuel cell concept for this week's Los Angeles Auto Show and Hyundai already sells its Tucson Fuel Cell. The next big name to add to that list might be BMW, as the company's co-development deal with Toyota starts to bear fruit.
According to Autocar, BMW may use a version of the fuel cell system from the Toyota FCV in the future i5. As part of its eco-oriented i sub-brand, the i5 is expected to be a stretched version of the i3 (pictured above) with extra rear legroom and cargo space. It's unclear at the moment whether a battery-powered pure electric powertrain will also be available. If accurate, then the rumor could give the Bavarian brand a counterattack against Mercedes-Benz' planned fuel cell vehicle in 2017.
BMW and Toyota first signed the memorandum of understanding to co-develop fuel cells, lightweight technology and a sports car back in 2012, and they made the arrangement official in late 2013. So far, few details on the progress of the work have been disclosed, but the performance model has been rumored to use a front-engine, all-wheel drive layout with supercapacitors.
