 I found out my girlfriend is pregnant and we are expecting in August.  So I now need to sell my baby to save and prepare for my soon- to-be new baby.

I am going to try to list everything I know about the car, what it needs, and what has been done to it.

You are looking at a 2000 z3 coupe.  They made less than 5000 of these cars within four years.

 

I just spent $500 to have the water pump, coolant fan, and fan shroud replaced because the cold weather broke the fan shroud clips, causing the shroud to break the fan.  I had it fixed just after going out to start the car because of the cold weather. 

The story:

I purchased this car a little over three and a half years ago.  I found it on eBay and flew out to Newark NJ to pick it up.  The guy I purchased it from said it was a repossession from Chase and that the car had the seats and side door panels were stripped when he got it.  So he put after market seats inside the car and found used inside door panels to be put back on.  The seat belts do not work, not because there are no seat belt straps, but because the clip that attaches the harness to seat belt clips into is attached to OEM seats (see photos).  It was my intention to replace the seats, so I could have proper functioning seat belts, but I never did.  The brakes were really bad when I got the car and needed to be replaced, so I spent $1200 getting the car running smooth again. 
Next, my girlfriend backed up into my car not seeing it, and her 5th wheel dented the hood of my car (insurance claim).  When I took my car to the body shop (Orr's Auto Body Cincinnati) I had them fix the dent on the hood, paint the hood, and paint the front bumper.  They noticed that the rims have been spray painted flat black and told me that they know a guy who can clean them up to look brand new for $250.  I kept that in mind for a future date when I wanted to bring the car back to its beauty.

Next, the car has some dings on both doors (parking lots at the grocery ughhh) and a small scrape on the rear driver side bumper, another incident where the driver drove away while the car was parked.


Whenever I had the car serviced they used high viscosity oil purchased from the BMW dealership.  Below is a link to the company that worked on the car. (Bavarian Motor Service)

I have had the brakes and rotors replaced, and new oxygen sensors installed. 

The car is currently due for another servicing, and it’s starting to idle a little rough (my thoughts are because it’s winter)

The car has new tires installed and a lifetime tire warranty placed on the tires (half price for tires if any damage), with a 3 year alignment.  TiresPlus says that the warranty is good for the purchaser/owner, however, you might be able to take the paperwork in for an alignment if need be, if you live in Cincinnati, I could also meet you at any of the locations, if they ask for an ID.  Or I can provide you with one of my old school IDs.

AC recharge over the summer of 2013.  Blows cold.



What the Car Needs:
 1. There is a sound that recently started rattling, it sounds like it’s an exhaust issue.  It doesn't do it all the time but has happened a few times recently.  When I read the reviews for the car (3 years ago) I found that one z3 owner had to have exhaust work done around 120k miles, and their cost was 350$.  Since there is a metal undercarriage that covers everything in sight, I am not able to just look to see if it’s a loose bolt or what.  Since I am also a student, I haven't really had the money to invest into just having it looked at. 

2.  Car needs serviced.

3.  The BMW emblem is missing from the hood of the car.  You can purchase a new emblem from Amazon with free shipping for $5.98.

4.  Center Cap Emblems, one is missing, the other three were spray painted black.  You can purchase a set of four new emblems on Amazon with free shipping for $20.99.

5. OEM seats.  They show up on ebay from time to time in the $400 to $800 range per set.

6. Minor body work 

7. New windshield (currently has three small rock chips)

8. Interior blower motor needs looked into.  Sometimes it works on all settings (1,2,3,4) and other times it only works on full blast.  It works regardless...


The car is listed locally and may be taken off ebay at any time if its sold... Please call me if you have any questions.  I am in class regularly so texting might be an easier form of communication.

BMW i3 Shadow Sport limited edition opens a moon roof on US

Fri, Nov 20 2015

Here's a bit of news for a quarter-million dollars. BMW is bringing a special edition i3 called Shadow Sport to the US for the 2016 model year. That tag refers to the special-edition Bimmers that come equipped with a moon roof, which before this was unavailable in the US. But only 50 lucky folks will get them. The Shadow Sport edition comes with a few other goodies, too, including "fluid" black paint, 19-inch alloy wheels, custom-trim interior and sport-tuned suspension, though there are no changes in the electric motor or performance. That means the same single-charge range of 81 miles, the same 0-60 miles per hour acceleration time of seven seconds flat and the same top speed of 93 miles per hour. If you experience a little slower speed and a little shorter single-charge range because you're spending too much time looking out of the moon roof, that's on you. The catch is that the model won't be available for the i3 vehicles with the gas-powered range extender, i.e. the i3 REx. The Shadow Sport will also have a price of $47,400, or $5,000 more than the base model i3. BMW's Dave Buchko told AutoblogGreen that all 50 Shadow Sports have been sold, with the first 40 selling out in the first hour or so of availability. The Shadow Sport is on display at the Los Angeles Auto Show this week. Through the first 10 months of the year, BMW sold 8,879 i3 vehicles, which was double year-earlier figures. Last month alone, though, things weren't as rosy, as October i3 sales declined 15 percent from a year earlier to 986 units. There's more information at the bottom of BMW's LA Show press release, below. BMW at the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show: Making its North American Premier, BMW will showcase the all-new BMW 7 Series, all-new BMW 3 Series eDrive, all-new BMW X1 and the exclusive motorsport inspired BMW M4 GTS. BMW i will premiere BMW Laser Light, available for the first time in the US, as well as the limited edition BMW i3 Shadow Sport, featuring exclusive exterior paint color and interior design, moonroof and sport tuned suspension. Woodcliff Lake, N.J.: November 17, 2015 12:00 pm EDT /9:00 am PDT... The all-new BMW 3 Series eDrive, BMW M4 GTS, BMW X1 and the BMW 7 Series will make their North American debuts at the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show held at the Los Angeles Convention Center. In addition, BMW will feature the eDrive BMW X5 xDrive40e as well as the high-performance BMW i8, the all-electric BMW i3 and other BMW models at the BMW display.

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

The best money in the world might be configurator money - you never run out of it and you can never spend it the wrong way. We hope you're ready to dip into your configurator savings account, because it's time to start speccing out the 2014 BMW 4 Series, the coupe having just arrived in the virtual world.
There are four possible opening gambits: the 428i for $40,500, the 428i xDrive for $42,500, the 435i for $46,000 or the 435i xDrive for $48,000. After you've chosen your first move, there are three trim options: the $1,400 Luxury Line that features lots of chrome and wood (shown), the $1,700 Sport Line that adds lots of gloss black and contrasting trim color and stitching, or the $3,100 M Sport that offers the M Estoril Blue hue and lots of M-division specific accessories.
Starting with the 435i xDrive and M Sport, we then added items like the 19-inch wheels ($900), the Dynamic Handling Package ($1,000), Cold Weather Package ($700), Premium Package ($2,200), Tech Package ($3,150) and the Lighting Package ($1,900) on top of any other box we could check. The total, after the $925 destination and handling charge: $66,749.
