Honestly, I never thought I'd do this. I'm selling only to purchase a Z3 M Coupe. Classic Estoril Blue Metallic finish over Black Nappa Leather upholstery -- I've had my ///M for a little over one year now and it has been my pride and joy. It's my fourth BMW and I'm an enthusiast through and through. I work for a BMW Center, and it has been exclusively maintained there during my ownership. I wash the car obsessively, change the fluids obsessively, and maintain it obsessively - if you're looking for a Z3 M that's been loved, this is it. I take exceptional care of my cars. Most recent services include oil changes, guibo, shift shaft seal, brake fluid flush, valve cover gasket, spark plugs, left front wheel bearing, Rear Shock Mounts and the ever-important Z3 rear subframe reinforcement, to name a few. As an expensive service, the subframe reinforcement is incredibly important. The rear subframe is the Z3's Achilles heel, and over time, the differential will cause separation of the subframe and body -- I caught it before any issues developed, and did the service as a preventative measure.
The odometer currently reads 111,xxx miles. My Z3 M Roadster comes with heated seats, heated mirrors and a power convertible top. From the factory, it is equipped with 100% options. It comes with the stock staggered Roadstar wheels with good tires all around. It's equipped with the premium Harman/Kardon AM/FM/CD Stereo. It's a 5-Speed manual, matched to the 240hp & 236tq 3.2L. The blue convertible top has a little bit of wear as it is 13 years old. The rear window has no cracks and is in rather nice shape. The only aftermarket upgrade is a pair of Magnaflow 14815 mufflers which compliments the S52 motor extremely well. I'd really like to see it go to someone who will love it like I have. The buyer will be responsible for additional cost for shipping.

She's just a girl... who's an E28 fanatic
Tue, 02 Apr 2013Ashley Rodriguez has a thing for the BMW E28. The amateur train photographer has owned over 15 of the cars in her brief lifetime, and says she's attracted to the old 5 Series because of how rare they are. All told, she's owned every variation of the E28 with the exception of the 2.4td, and the crew from Petrolicious recently stopped by to train their lenses on her most recent acquisition: a lovely M535i. The site's latest video, Rare Things, takes a closer look at just what draws Rodriguez to the E28 and how her passion for the cars has evolved over the years.
As usual, Petrolicious serves up plenty of gorgeous footage of the vintage German sedan, and anyone who's ever harbored an obsession over any one particular model can certainly hear a few chords ring true in Rodriguez's words. Check out the clip below to see what we mean.
Totally uncovered BMW M3 caught by helmet cam
Tue, 29 Oct 2013Sure, we've seen - and even ridden in - the 2015 BMW M3 before, but always under the cover of camouflage. Proving that it's always nice to be in the right place at the right time, a motorcyclist managed to capture a completely undisguised 2015 M3 (codenamed F80) on video during a closed-road photo shoot.
Road & Track has the helmet cam video, which shows the bright blue M3 doing a three-point turn as it follows a camera car possibly for an upcoming commercial or launch video. While the images are grainy, we do get to see some of the styling details for the next-gen M3. Aside from the extra set of doors, this M3 looks a lot like the Concept M4 Coupe we met a few months ago, including the bulging hood, oddly shaped door mirrors and the wide, vented front fenders. The aggressive fascia, big wheels/low-profile tires and quad exhaust outlets all but confirm this is the production M3 we'll be seeing at the Detroit Auto Show in a couple of months.
We've put together a gallery using screen shots from the video, but check out the video posted below to see the new M3 in motion.

The owner of a biodiesel company has pleaded guilty to fraud. Philip Joseph Rivkin, aka Felipe Poitan Arriaga, took part in a scheme to defraud the EPA, falsely claiming to be producing millions of gallons of biodiesel. This allowed his company, Green Diesel, to receive renewable fuel credits and sell them to oil companies and brokers. "These crimes are a serious threat to an important program that helps combat climate change," says Cynthia Giles of the EPA. "Companies and individual managers should get the message that there are serious consequences for breaking the rules and undermining the integrity of this program." Rivkin faces over 10 years in prison and $51 million in restitution. Read more in the press release below.
