 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.

Updated BMW X6 spied running the 'Ring in Germany

Tue, 22 Oct 2013

Following the debut of the X5 earlier this year, it shouldn't come as a shock that BMW is testing an updated X6 in its homeland. The Munich-based manufacturer trekked to the Nürburgring to test the lifted, four-door coupe it calls a Sports Activity Vehicle, while also giving us our first peak as to what the future holds for one of the weirder models in the brand's stable.
Mainly, we can safely expect the next X6 to get the same range of refinements made to its platform-mate, the X5, which debuted earlier this year. If we're lucky, that could mean an X6 sDrive35i, complete with rear-wheel drive with which to fling the big SAV about. Adding a rear-drive option could also broaden its admittedly limited appeal by lowering the cost of entry, which could serve the pricier X6 well. As a point of reference, the X5 sDrive35i is priced at $2,300 below an xDrive all-wheel-drive-equipped model.
The X6's top-flight xDrive50i model should get the same 45-horsepower bump as the X5 xDrive50i, thanks to refinements to its twin-turbocharged, 4.4-liter V8, while the 3.0-liter, turbocharged six-pot should remain unchanged. We wouldn't hold our breath for an X6 diesel to arrive, although weirder stuff has happened. Like the X5, though, this should be a pretty slim refit that improves an already competent package to go along with an expected increase in price.

2016 BMW M3 gains new colors, LED taillights

Thu, May 7 2015

The BMW 3 Series gets a few new models and some significant mechanical tweaks for its recently announced 2016 refresh. At the same time, the Bavarian brand is taking the opportunity to make some much more minor adjustments to the M3, too. BMW didn't mention the M3's changes in its announcement of the 3 Series refresh, but company spokesperson Hector Arellano-Belloc explained the updates to Autoblog. On the outside, the sport sedan now comes with full LED taillights, and the exterior is available with new colors from BMW Individual: Smoked Topaz Metallic and Champagne Quartz Metallic. The shades join Tanzanite Blue Metallic and Azurite Black Metallic from the brand's bespoke division. Under the hood, everything is the same with a twin-turbo, 3.0-liter inline-six engine making 425 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. Inside, the M3 gains the improved navigation system from the 3 Series that features over-the-air map upgrades. There's more chrome trim around the interior, as well. "Given how new it is, the changes to the M3 are minimal," said Arellano-Belloc to Autoblog. However, the tweaks show that BMW is trying to keep the performance sedan at the top of its game.

BMW and Mini getting GoPro integration

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

The small, high-quality and relatively inexpensive GoPro camera has been revolutionary for Internet video, especially of cars. Imagine how much awesomeness and hilarity we would have missed without them. Finding ways to integrate the cams into performance cars is becoming increasingly popular among automakers, as well. For example, the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette has its Performance Data Recorder, and Volkswagen is giving GoPros to early buyers of the 2015 GTI. BMW Group is going straight to the source for its rendition, though, with a new app that allows drivers to control a GoPro from inside of some BMW and Mini vehicles.
In July, owners with 2012 or later models equipped with BMW Apps or Mini Connected can download the new app. There are a few hurdles to jump over, though. Not only do users need a model with the infotainment system, a WiFi-equipped GoPro camera is also required. The app also must be installed on an iPhone connected to the vehicle.
Once all of those stipulations are met, the app can configure and control the GoPro through iDrive and display a nearly live image on the infotainment system. Menus are simplified on-screen but still allow users to select among six camera modes, aim it and start and stop recording. While filming, it shows recording time, battery life and signal strength. While BMW's approach isn't quite as nicely integrated as the Corvette's solution, it's interesting to see automakers working to make filming easier. Scroll down to read the full announcement.
