Spring, Texas, United States

Selling my 2008 Z4 roadster.  I did a lot of homework on this car before buying it and was planning on keeping it much longer but I am moving from The Woodlands, TX to NYC and will need a car I can drive all year round in that environment.  The SI model has the more powerful 255hp HO motor, is very light, and handles very well.

I chose this car as I have a 94mi round trip commute and wanted a fun, reliable car that got good gas mileage.  This car has delivered: a very reliable vehicle that gets 28+mpg on the highway (this car replaced an Audi S4 that averaged mid-teen mpg).

The Good:

·         Certified Pre-Owned BMW (transferrable) with warranty that expires at the earlier of 100,000mi or 4/8/2014 = piece of mind

·         Car spent the first half of its life in Alabama and is now in Texas.  Has been a southern car its entire life.

·         Difficult to find combination:

o   M heated black leather sport seats

o   Premium Package (power top, power seats, rain sensing wipers, BMW Assist, Bluetooth, Speech recognition, Auto-dimming mirrors, Auto climate control, Xenon lights w/ auto leveling)

o   Sport Package (Sport suspension, two piece alloy wheels, Dynamic Driving Control)

o   6 speed manual transmission

·         Other options:

o   Remote entry

o   Cruise control

o   Power mirrors

o   Leather sport multi-function steering wheel

o   THX sound system w/ Auxiliary input

o   Fog lights

·         High end ceramic window tint

·         The last model year of the naturally aspirated in-line 6 engine in the Z4 that has been a reliable BMW workhorse for years

·         Good gas mileage (great gas mileage when you consider performance of the car).

·         45 yr old, professional, non-smoker, parent that has meticulously maintained the car

·         Oil changed with synthetic every 7,000 miles.  Original battery replaced this spring.

·         Car is generally in great condition, looks and feels very solid all around.

·         Convertible top is only two years old (see below).

Issues:

·         In March of this year, a newly minted driver (just got his license) backed into the left rear of the car in downtown Houston.

o   No structural damage underneath, only scratched and dented the rear quarter.

o   Damaged part was replaced by a new BMW brand OEM panel.  No filler or fixing was done on the quarter…just bolted a new one on and painted to match.  Work was performed at the best shop in the area & I have all receipts.

·         Typical rock chips/wear on the front of the car consistent with the mileage on the car – paintwork on the rest of the car is excellent.

·         Right front wheel has a small stain on the lip of the wheel.  No curb rash on any of the wheels.

·         Convertible top was replaced under warranty soon after I bought the car.  The top was wearing in one spot when retracted.  Was not a significant issue (other than an aesthetic rub mark) but it was under warranty and the dealer offered to install a brand new top so I took them up on it.  Top has performed flawlessly since then.

·         Cup holder also replaced under warranty shortly after I bought the car.  Warranty work was largely me being very particular about the car.

The 2016 Pebble Beach Concept Lawn was nuts as always

Mon, Aug 22 2016

The Concept Lawn at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is like the smallest, most expensive car show you can imagine. A bunch of unobtanium concepts and almost-production models line an irregularly shaped putting green for people to stare at while on their way to see other, older insane cars. This year's crop was a particularly good one. We'll walk through the gallery above in order: That's a new Ford GT. Not quite a concept, but it's not in production yet, so we'll let it slide. Then there's the one-of-a-kind Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo that was recently bought by a Saudi Prince along with a matching Chiron. Next up is the Lamborghini Centenario Roadster, which was unveiled last week and is already sold out. This orange automobile is BMW's 2002 Hommage with its latest livery, a Jagermeister-themed affair called Turbomeister. This silver Infiniti, the Q80 Inspiration Concept, is an oldie but a goodie. It first appeared in Paris in 2014. The extremely long automobile after that is the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6, which was unveiled in Monterey this year. The 6 in the name is because it's 6 meters, or about 18 feet, long. Most of that's the hood. Next we have the one-of-99 Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato coupe, which continues to be beautiful. After that is a Fisker Karma with a V8, the VLF Destino. Thank you, Bob Lutz. The black sedan you see after that is the Cadillac Escala Concept, which also made its debut in Monterey this year. Then we have a Rolls-Royce Wraith Black Badge. Not a concept, but exclusive enough to join the others. Next is the McLaren 570GT customized by MSO that arrived for Pebble 2016. It has special design touches plus an electrochromic panel to replace the normal glass roof. The light blue car is the Genesis New York concept. The name didn't change even though it was in Monterey. Then we have the large and in charge Lincoln Navigator concept, taking up two regulation concept spots. The red car with suicide doors is Acura's Precision Concept, which we first saw at the Detroit show this year. Another non-concept, the Lexus LC 500h at least looks futuristic enough to be a show-specific car. And here's a 2017 Maserati Quattroporte, which is definitely not a concept. A Bentley Mulsanne EWB, because why not? It's not available in the US, so that almost qualifies for concept status. Then there's a reproduction Lister Knobbly, which we could stare at all day.

BMW 2 Series specs leaked?

Wed, 09 Oct 2013

Thanks to spy shots from earlier in the year, we already know what the new BMW 2 Series will look like, but now we know a lot more about the coupe courtesy of an apparent BMW South Africa error and some quick-clicking enthusiasts. Though the information no longer appears to be posted on BMW's South African website, 2addicts.com managed to grab most of the details for the new coupe, including the model lineup, specs and most (if not all) of the options list for the upcoming replacement for the 1 Series.
Just like the latest 3 Series, the 2 Series model lineup starts at the 220i powered by a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder, but the more exciting BMW figures to be the M235i with its 320-hp, 3.0-liter straight-six. With the automatic transmission, the info says that the M235i weights 3,240 pounds and will be able to accelerate from 0-62 miles per hour in 4.8 seconds - making it both lighter and quicker than the 135is currently offered in the US. The base 220i coupe should also be fun to drive with its 180 horsepower and sub-3,000 pound curb weight.
A quick side-by-side comparison of the dimensions for the base 220i with our current base 128i shows that the new coupe rides on a longer wheelbase (105.9 in. vs. 104.7 in.), is about two inches longer (174.4 in. vs. 172.2 in.) and is an inch wider (69.8 in. vs. 68.8 in.). 2addicts.com even shows available paint colors, interior trim options and lists pricing for South African-spec models. Head on over to the forum to check out all the info they have posted, but we expect the 2 Series to be unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show early next year.
