As one of the lightest cars in its class, with 225HP and a 0-60 time of 5.3 seconds, the 2004 3.0i makes 41 more horsepower than the 2.5-liter model, is about 0.5 seconds quicker and costs $7,300 more (MSRP), yet its fuel economy is nearly identical (29 mpg highway, 21 mpg city) -- truly exceptional performance even by 2013 standards. Its 9.2 cubic feet of cargo space make it surprisingly practical for a roadster, and according to Consumer Reports and BMW service technicians, this generation of Z4 (2003-2008) is BMW's most reliable car. (Note: From 2006-2008, the low-end 2.5-liter model is renamed the "3.0i" and the higher-end model is called the "3.0si." So this 2004 3.0 is the equivalent of a 2006-2008 3.0si, and any "3.0i" in that range is actually a 2.5-liter.)

"The Z4 boasts 0.91 g of stick at the skidpad... grips the road as surely as a Corvette or a Porsche Boxster S... and its electrically assisted steering is something akin to telepathic. It's as light as the steering in all 3-series cars, but it weights up nicely with speed." -- Car & Driver (Jan 2003)
"Hitting the highway, you are reminded that the BMW straight-6 is simply a classic engine -- turbine-smooth, free revving and quite torquey once the revs climb above about 2500 rpm. From there, it rips up to its 6500-rpm redline in a glassy surge of thrust. The 6-speed Getrag shifts with nice, mechanical precision... and in corners, the BMW is absolutely planted. A combination of high grip, good balance and flat weight transfer without body roll give the car a sure-footed, reassuring feel in rapid transitions." -- Road & Track (Jan 2003)

Permanent erection lawsuit against BMW thrown out
Wed, 19 Mar 2014The California man who claimed that he suffered from a 20-month erection after a four-hour ride on his BMW K1100RS motorcycle (similar model pictured above) has had his case dismissed. It seems the court found his claims too hard to believe.
Henry Wolf filed a product liability lawsuit against BMW and seatmaker Corbin-Pacific in the California Superior Court in April 2012 after he claimed a motorcycle ride in September 2010 caused a long-term case of priapism from the "ridge-like" saddle design. He asked for compensation for lost wages, medical expenses and emotional distress from both companies.
Nearly two years later, according to Visor Down, Judge James J. McBride decided that the case didn't have enough supporting evidence. A urologist testified that the plaintiff had priapism, but the court rejected the testimony of a neurologist who claimed the motorcycle's vibration caused the disorder. The defendants presented testimony from the bike's former and subsequent owners. Corbin-Pacific CEO Mike Corbin also spoke in the company's defense.
BMW restores classic Mini as it revives production in Netherlands
Wed, 13 Nov 2013Mini will be kicking off production in the Netherlands, a country that hasn't built a Mini-badged machine since 1966. In honor of this event, BMW Group Classic, the team responsible for all the cars in the BMW Museum, as well as being a spare parts and restoration company in its own right, revived a classic 1959 Austin Seven. That particular car, number 983, was one of the first Minis to be built in the Netherlands.
The Netherlands' JJ Molenaar's Car Companies built 4,000 Austin Sevens and Morris Mini-Minors between 1959 and 1966, although we imagine Dutch Mini production will be much bigger when it starts up again in summer 2014. A five-person team from VDL Nedcar, the group handling production of new Minis, took to the job of restoring the diminutive British car from nose to tail.
The 34-horsepower engine and the transmission were both completely rebuilt, while the door panels were redone by hand. Help from the Mini community aided the VDL Nedcar team in finding authentic replicas or original parts where possible. All told, the new classic Mini is a striking example of what a good restoration can do to a car. The Seven was repainted in its original Farina Gray, adding to the car's sense of authenticity.
Check out 90 years of BMW Motorrad in 90 seconds
Tue, 12 Mar 2013After ninety years in business and first-to-market motorcycle innovations like the one-piece 'tunnel' crankcase, hydraulically dampened front forks and full fairings, as well as that trademark boxer engine, BMW Motorrad is celebrating its nonagenarian status with a video: You can follow the ride on BMW motorcycles from 1923 to now in just 90 seconds.
Okay, so there's more than a video - some anniversary-themed bikes and a new retro boxer model celebrating the R 32 "airhead' from 1923 also commemorate the occasion. But you can start with the video, and that's below.
