Up for auction is my 1996 BMW Z3 Roadster Convertible, silver with black interior, and NEW black ragtop. The car is originally from Georgia and has been stored indoors through every winter since I purchased it. It has VERY low mileage, under 41,000. It has a clear title as well as a clear CarFax report. The car passed the New York State Inspection in May of this year. It has always been well maintained, and has always been maintained on time. When i bought it, i had the undercarriage, wheel wells, engine bay, and door panels professionally sealed and coated, as well as having the paint sealed, which was all done at Ziebart in Rochester, NY. I have always babied this car and taken great care of it since the day i purchased it. It really is a great little car and a lot of fun to drive. It turns heads everywhere you go!
Let me tell you the details of the car....
Automatic Transmission
1.9L 4 Cylinder Engine
Rear Wheel Drive
Power Windows, Locks, Mirrors, Both Seats, Cruise Control, Factory Security System
Air Conditioning, AM/FM Cassette Stereo with Premium Factory Speakers
Factory 16" Aluminum 5 Spoke Wheels, Tires Are Fuzion HRi, 215/55/16(Front) 225/50/16(Rear
The vehicle has very few flaws and none of them large flaws at all. It is missing the center cap on the drivers side front wheel, the leather is peeling up a little on the top of the drivers side door panel. It has a few scratches here and there but none are deep, nor larger than half of an inch. The weather stripping is beginning to show some wear but has years left, and the base of the passenger side mirror has a small amout of corrosion on the aluminum.
The car is functioning perfect mechanically, it needs nothing done to it. You could drive it home, and everyday after without issue. Like I said earlier, it is an amazing little car and a ton of fun to drive. I hate to let it go, but as you all know, the economy is a mess and i have 3 other car payments.
Please feel free to ask any questions you have. I can also take other specific picture upon request.
SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY!! YOU MAY HEAR IT RUN IN PERSON, BUT DRIVING IT WILL BE AT MY DISCRETION, NO JOYRIDES!!!!!
Thank you for your interest, and good luck!!!

BMW and Samsung team up with Galaxy Gear smartwatch that talks to your i3
Sun, 12 Jan 2014Without a doubt, the most impressive thing that BMW showed at CES this year was a driverless M235i drifting flawlessly around a wet track at Las Vegas Speedway. However, that bit of robotic helmsmanship wasn't the only trick the German company had up its sleeve. Or, more to the point, on its wrist.
Taking a page from rival Mercedes-Benz, BMW demonstrated how a "smartwatch," in this case the Samsung Galaxy Gear, could be made to function usefully with a vehicle, in this case the BMW i3. Calling it a "research application," BMW showed off its BMW i Remote App on the Galaxy Gear; the app gives information about state of battery charge, available range and whether or not all the doors and windows are closed or open. Perhaps more useful still, the watch can be used to send a destination to the i3's navigation unit, adjust the climate control in preparation for a trip and can recognize voice commands. Nifty stuff, if not world-shaking, that could help tech-obsessed luxury buyers take a second look at the upcoming BMW EV.
Take a closer look at the watch in action below, or read thru the BMW press release.
2014 BMW 4 Series Convertible is easy, breezy, beautiful
Wed, 20 Nov 2013BMW debuted its 2014 4 Series Convertible today at the LA Auto Show, and the sporting two-door will feature a folding hardtop - like the convertible 3 Series before it - and be offered in 428i and 435i guises.
The 428i Convertible is equipped with BMW's 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, which pumps out 240 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque - good for sprinting from 0-60 miles per hour in 6.2 seconds. The 435i Convertible gets the 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine, which steps up output to 300 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque. The topless 435i drops the 0-60-mph time to 5.5 seconds. Both cars come standard with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and BMW says that a manual transmission will not be offered on 4 Series Convertibles in the US market.
The 4 Series Convertible will be offered in Sport Line, Luxury Line and M Sport trims. Pricing starts at $48,750 for the 428i Convertible and $54,900 for the 435i. Head on below to peruse the (long) press release for details.
Ward's announces 10 Best Engines 2015
Wed, Dec 10 2014Ward's Auto has named its 10 Best Engines for 2015, covering a range of powerplants from fuel-sippers to fire-breathers. As with past years, forced-induction reigns supreme, with seven of the ten engines featuring a turbo or supercharger. This year is slightly different, though, as two of the seven blown engines are turbocharged three-cylinder mills, from the Ford Fiesta and Mini Cooper. They're joined by the 2.0-liter turbo four from the Volvo S60, the 1.8-liter turbo four from the Volkswagen Jetta and the 2.0-liter boxer from the Subaru WRX. BMW and Chrysler were the only marques to be named to this year's list twice, with the electric motor from the i3 joining the Mini's three-pot, and the 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 in the Ram 1500 and Jeep Grand Cherokee repping the diesel crowd, alongside a certain supercharged monster. Hyundai also took a prize with a zero-emissions powertrain, with the Tucson FCV's 100-kilowatt fuel cell making the list (apparently Ward's is quite generous with what it deems an "engine"). Rounding out the list are two Autoblog favorites, each displacing 6.2 liters, but producing their power very differently. On the one hand, Chevrolet's overhead-valve, 455-horsepower V8, found in the Corvette, makes its power the old fashioned way. And in the other corner, we have one of the most exciting engines of the year – the 707-hp, 6.2-liter, supercharged Hellcat V8, featured so prominently in the Dodge Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcat. "We spend a lot of time reading the powertrain tea leaves throughout the auto industry, and we're proud that this year's list is a microcosm of all the latest innovation coming from automakers," said Ward's Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter in a statement. "It's not just a list for enthusiasts or for environmentalists," he says. "There's something for every vehicle shopper and every budget. All the powertrains on this list deliver a first-rate driving experience," Winter added. Scroll down for the full list from Ward's, and let us know which engines you think belong and which should have been included in this year's rankings. Ward's 10 Best Engines of 2015 Announced by Penton's WardsAuto Honorees span most diverse and technically advanced engines in 21 years of recognized powertrain excellence SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Dec. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Penton's Wards 10 Best Engines of 2015 have been announced.
