Bmw Z3 Coupe on 2040-cars

US $10,800.00

Year:2000 Mileage:124855

Location:

Cincinnati, Ohio, United States

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 calls in 50,000 motorbikes over fuel pump leak

Tue, 07 Jan 2014

If you don't often see motorbikes being recalled, it's probably because there's less to go wrong on a motorcycle. But a problem with the fuel pump on a wide array of BMW Motorrad products has prompted the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for over 50,000 of the Bavarian two-wheelers across America.
The issue revolves around the fuel pump flange on R-model, K-model, S 1000 and HP2 motorcycles built as far back, in some cases, to 2005 and as recent as 2012, depending on the model. The flange was found to be prone to crack and leak fuel, which NHTSA evaluated as a fire risk. As a result, precisely 50,184 such motorbikes are being recalled to have their flanges reinforced or, where necessary, to replace the entire fuel pump. If you're the owner of such a Bimmer bike, expect a call from your dealer sometime next month, but you can read the full notice below.

BMW M4 Concept beckons the new golden child of M cars

Fri, 16 Aug 2013

Ushering in the next-generation of two-door M performance cars for BMW, the new M4 Concept was officially unveiled at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance last night after an unceremonious embargo leak yesterday afternoon. The reality of the fact that we will never again have a new M3 Coupe is a little easier to deal with after browsing the M4 Concept's sleek and sporty lines.
As was the case with the Concept 4 Series Coupe, we expect the this M4 to transition from concept car to production coupe with very few changes. Among the features we's bet against making it into production include the front splitter and the exhaust tips - both made from carbon fiber. Other notable details are the aero-shaped mirrors, the subtle M stripes on the carbon fiber roof and the 20-inch wheels exposing big six-piston from brakes. If it were up to us, we'd say bring this car to production as is - except for the paint color.
There is still no word on the M4's powertrain or if it will even offer a manual geabox, but we would imagine that we'll be seeing this car in production form, complete with all of those details at the LA Auto Show.

BMW readies EV, hydrogen updates for 2015 Detroit Auto Show

Sat, Dec 13 2014

BMW's stand at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show will be the place to go for updates. News about advances in electric vehicle infrastructure, hydrogen fuel cells (maybe) and BMW's suite of connected vehicles app things will all make an appearance at the show next month. Let's start with what we know for sure. Both the i3 and i8 plug-in vehicles are supremely connected cars. A new announcement from BMW (available below) says that the suite of "Now" – ChargeNow, ParkNow and DriveNow Â– apps will be extended and available internationally. The updates include things like being able to find new new fast-charging stations and ParkNow LongTerm, which will let drivers find a permanent parking space where they can fill up their batteries. As Jacob Harb, BMW of North America's head of electric vehicle sales and strategy, told AutoGuide, "2015 is the year of infrastructure." While there is no official mention of a fuel cell stack in the official release (and we've asked BMW to see if there's anything to this news), Inside EVs says that BMW will also show off its new fuel cell stack in Detroit. That's the one that Toyota and BMW are working on together, as announced back in January 2013. If it makes an appearance, then it'll be our first look at the powertrain that's one generation beyond what Toyota has now in the Mirai. BMW at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) 2015 in Detroit. On 12 January 2015, BMW will welcome in the new car year by unveiling a raft of new products at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit. A fixture on the calendar since 1907, the event originally known as the Detroit Auto Show has a long tradition in the USA. This year will be the 27th time it has been held on an international stage, and more than 200 exhibitors will gather at the COBO Center on the Detroit River to present their latest offerings to a large audience. More than 18 million people have visited the show since 1989. The public days take place from 17 Â– 25 January. Celebrating their world premieres in Detroit are the new BMW 6 Series Convertible, Coupe and Gran Coupe, as well as the new BMW M6 Coupe, BMW M6 Convertible and BMW M6 Gran Coupe high-performance models. They will be joined at the NAIAS by the cutting-edge BMW i models and innovative services encompassing the world of electric mobility. And BMW ConnectedDrive will be showcasing its over-the-air regular automatic map updating technology.
