This is a beautiful 1998 BMW Z3 with only 90,256 miles!
It's always been garaged & looks & runs great!
It's in great shape & ready to drive from LA to NYC!
I believe in providing as much information as possible to save everyone time.

The Good!
1) It has clean & clear California title (Certificate of Ownership) in my name.
2) I also have a CarFax in hand & have attached it below.
CarFax is indicating it's worth $1,770 above retail Blue Book!
3) Passed smog within last 90 days so smog not required if sold by end of August.
4) Car runs great!  It's a big 2.8L, 189 Horsepower, 6 cylinder engine!
5) It has a 5-speed manual transmission & power convertible top!
6) Tires are in great shape with a lot of miles left.
7) It has a mesh screen between the seats to keep backdraft out.
8) I have a brand new, OEM BMW top for it with the built-in rear window.
9) Handling is awesome!  I wonder what the Power to Weight ratio is on this car because it handles so well!

The Not So Good!
1) The plastic rear window is missing.
The window stitching came out & eventually the entire plastic rear window simply fell out.
Therefore I got a new BMW top for it. (see #8 above)  However since the roof is in such good shape I would first think of having an upholstery shop stitch in a new rear window & save the new roof/window for later
2) The radio antenna is broken so radio reception is poor.
3) The 3rd brake light fell off & is inside the trunk but works.  The bezel didn't break off & is still on on the trunk lid.  Only the LED light bar on the inside of the trunk fell off.
4) The passenger door requires a push/pull to open.  Not a big issue but requires to lift the handle, push in & then pull out to open.
5) There are 2 driving lights located below the bumper.
The drivers' side isn't working.  I'm not sure if it's wiring or the bulb.
6) Time for an oil change

I've researched all recently sold Z3's on ebay (actual sold prices, no listed)
& have priced this car reserve well below those.  I want it sold, not relisted.
Questons?  I check e-mail daily before/after work.
Need additional pix of something?  Let me know!
Shipping? Nope, I'm not shipping her anywhere.
But, if you fly into LAX I'll pick you up!
Thank you!

BMW Concept Roadster has two fewer wheels than we were expecting

Fri, 23 May 2014

The annual Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este on the shores of Lake Como is an opportunity for some of the most beautiful vehicles in the world to descend on one of the poshest places on earth each year. Unsurprisingly, the event is also increasingly the chance for automakers to debut exclusive concepts to some of the wealthiest auto enthusiasts in the world. In the last few years, BMW has become the masters of this annual unveiling with automotive concepts like the Gran Lusso Coupé, BMW Zagato Coupe and motorcycles like the the gorgeous Concept 90, not to mention the just-revealed Mini Superleggera Vision. But this year the Bavarian automaker has been somewhat tricky.
What would you first think when you heard of the BMW Concept Roadster? A lithe, two-seat convertible? Nope. This roadster is a cut-down, minimalist motorcycle with an ultra-modern design. As opposed to the retro looks of the Concept 90, this naked bike looks like it could fit in a BMW showroom tomorrow and not seem out of place.
The Concept Roadster packs the brand's classic two-cylinder boxer engine displacing 1,170 cubic centimeters and producing 123 horsepower and 92 pound-feet of torque. That power is routed to the rear wheel via a cardan drive, essentially a driveshaft, with a single-sided swing arm rear suspension. It's all nestled in a tubular spaceframe.

2014 BMW Z4 sDrive35is

Tue, 14 May 2013

The BMW Z3/Z4 roadster has never really had a widespread following because it has either been too humble and small a roadster (albeit with some fun and very low-volume M editions) or it has been - in this E89 generation - too casual an image leader with no racier aspirations. The current 480-hp Z4 GTEs don't count, since they are as stock a Z4 as today's Pamela Anderson is the same blonde actress we knew as Heidi on Home Improvement. You know, sort of like those ever-so-slightly modified Toyota Camry coupes competing in NASCAR.
The ultimate highpoint for the BMW Z roadster franchise was at the very start of its life in the mid-90s, in the James Bond film GoldenEye with Pierce Brosnan. The Stinger missiles that Q's team installed behind the Z3's headlights were never fired, and BMW never even offered this self-defense package as an option. Yet another case of the ol' bait and switch.
And in all these subsequent years of Z3s and Z4s strutting their long-hooded stuff, the little sporting Bimmer could really have used a live Stinger missile or two to spice things up. The current Z4 exists, it is pretty dang sexy, and BMW seems content to let it linger there. We just drove the new midlife version of the roadster near BMW headquarters in Munich, and it served to reinforce our feelings.

BMW recalls diesel X5 models over fuel filter heater

Mon, 19 Aug 2013


BMW has announced that it is recalling 1,540 examples of its 2009 and 2010 X5 xDrive35d crossovers produced between June 13, 2009 and November 9, 2009.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the model's fuel filter heater, which warms up the diesel fuel at low outside temperatures, can experience an electrical overload condition that may cause it to become permanently activated. This means the fuel filter heater could remain activated even when the ignition is off, which could lead to a dead battery. It could also lead to overheating, possibly resulting in a fire.
