Awesome Bmw Z3 W/low Miles on 2040-cars
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, United States
Hello and up for auction is a clean title low mileage 2000 BMW Z3 with the 2.5L Engine. It has never been in an accident and shows extremely well. The paint is very glossy and is scratch and dent free. The top has no tears or rips and the rear window is in excellent shape with very clear visibility. The interior has never been smoked in and is in better than average shape as is the entire car. The Mileage is very good for the year and is currently right under 75,500. The Wheels have no curb scratches and the tires are New. The front sport bumper was refinished at a very good body shop and looks new which makes for a great looking Z3 as that is the main focal point of the car. I also had the headlights polished out which makes them appear to be brand new and not all cloudy like most Zs out there. I am a car guy through and through and this car is very straight and in great mechanical shape. I drove the car from California back to Louisiana with no issues at all. Below is a list of option and recent servicing to ensure a quality Z for years to come. Please make sure to read my feedback from others who have bought Zs from me as it is stellar.
Options: Power seats, Power top, Cd Player w/Ipod Port, Cruise Control, Harmon Kardon , Fog Lights, Chrome trim, Maple Wood, M Sport Steering wheel, AC Schnitzer Rear Spoiler and a lot of other standard features. Servicing done last week: Fresh oil and filter change(less than 100 miles ago), New Air Filter, All New Drive Belts, Seat Checks Replaced, All New BMW Emblems, Brake Fluid Flush, Door Handle Gaskets Replaced(old ones were cracking), 4 new V rated Tires, lastly the car was waxed and detailed and is ready for its next owner.... Please read my feedback and buy from a trusted seller that knows these Zs inside and out. I get these cars in top shape and the reserve is always fair. Thanks and I am a private seller with clean title in hand. The car is for sale locally so if you want to secure it I reserve the right to end auction for serious buyer with a fair offer. Thanks Parker............. |

Former BMW M boss and Maserati CEO killed in freak motorcycle accident
Mon, 19 Aug 2013It's a tragic coincidence that on the same weekend the BMW M4 Coupe Concept was introduced in Monterey, one of the men most integral to BMW's M and Motorsports divisions, Karl-Heinz Kalbfell, was killed in England. Kalbfell, a vintage motorcycle enthusiast, was set to compete in the Lansdowne Classic Series at Brands Hatch and had an accident during a practice session. After going wide at Druids Corner and falling, he was hit by a competitor following close behind and died of his injuries after being transported to hospital.
Kalbfell, an engineer, began his career at BMW in 1977 in the communications department; a decade later he was chairman of BMW M GmbH, overseeing development of some of the cars responsible for the myth of M. In 1994 he was named chairman of BMW Motorsport, and his cap full of feathers includes getting the BMW V12 into the McLaren F1, getting the BMW V8 into two Morgan cars, along with developing BMW's Formula One engine and return to the sport. Not incidentally, he also assumed leadership of Project Rolls-Royce after BMW bought the British marque in 1998, which means he oversaw the Goodwood factory upfit and the creation of the Phantom.
He left Rolls-Royce for a brief stint at Fiat, heading Alfa Romeo and Maserati, then went into consulting for clients like Lotus and Paragon, who built the Artega GT. As Autocar notes, Kalbfell "had an abiding sense that customers needed to be attracted to cars by their aura and reputation, not just their engineering." He will be missed.
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.
2014 BMW R NineT
Tue, 26 Aug 2014BMW is taking a page from the Harley-Davidson playbook with its groundbreaking R NineT. A retro cafe racer with an urban hooligan twist, the bike is fully customizable from fork to exhaust. Of course, any motorcycle can be customized, but the fact that BMW has built its newest bike to encourage modification using parts that can be swapped with simple tools is a radical move for a motorcycle maker best known for its plug-and-play touring bikes.
To underscore exactly how radical, BMW has even partnered with custom heavy-hitter Roland Sands Design, which developed the initial concept for the bike and is now manufacturing a full line of parts and accessories for the R NineT, including radial valve covers ($950), retro racing saddles ($400-$420), radial gauge housing ($400) and a radial headlight bezel ($250), among other things, all of which can be swapped with a socket wrench or screwdriver instead of a hacksaw, wire cutters and TIG welder.
Alas, the bike I tested for two weeks was stock, so consider it a blank canvas.
