THIS IS A NO RESERVE LISTING.
This is my 1996 BMW Z3 roadster convertible. This car has only 40,402 original miles and it looks, runs and drives like a new car. If someone told you this car was a year old with maybe 5000 miles, you'd believe it. I believe this is the nicest condition 1996 Z3 for sale in the country. This is quite simply a gorgeous, clean, unmolested, beautiful car.
1996 was the first year for the Z3 roadster, and it was a huge success- in fact all of the 15,000 production run was sold out before the car even made it to dealer's showrooms- often at a premium ABOVE sticker price. Consequently, these 1996 cars were often purchased by wealthy enthusiasts who took care of and cherished the cars. This car is just such an example.
This car was owned by a retired couple who garaged the car from October to May each year. This car has never been winter-driven and has never seen snow or salt since it was new. It was a third car, for summer fun use only.
The only way to describe this car is "PRISTINE". I am quite confident that there isn't a nicer condition 1996 Z3 for sale anywhere- it is just unbelievably clean and like a new car.
The paint is all original and it is in excellent condition. The factory VIN stickers are present on every body panel. This car has never been in any accidents, and has never had any paintwork or bodywork. The car was always garaged, so the paint isn't oxidized, and the black trim and plastics are still just like new.
The alloy wheels are spotless and look gorgeous. The tires are nearly new Yokohamas.
The undercarriage of the car is pristine and spotless.
The convertible top is original and in superb condition. There isn't any appreciable wear on the convertible top, and the rear window is in excellent, clean and fully transparent condition. The factory tonneau boot is included to protect the convertible top when it is retracted.
The interior of the car shows no wear. The leather, plastics, upholstery and vinyl are all superb and just like the car was when it was new. The car still smells like new inside, in fact.
This car runs and drives beautifully- just like it did when it was new in 1996. The engine, transmission, clutch, brakes, steering, etc are all working superbly. There are no warning lights illuminated and this car needs no known mechanical work.
It is impossible to overstate exactly how outstanding, clean and original this Z3 really is. I feel like you could have taken one off the production line in 1996, put it away and it would look just like this car looks right now.
I have the books and manuals for the car as well as the original window sticker. There are two sets of keys and remotes, and the car also comes with a quality padded and fitted car cover.
The equipment on the car is as follows:
- 1.9L 4-cylinder engine
- 5-speed manual transmission
- A/C (blows cold)
- leather power seats
- ABS brakes
- cruise control
- power windows
If you have questions, please call Richard at 216 389 7100.
You can fly in to Cleveland (CLE) and drive this car home. Alternatively, you can have the car shipped- for a quote please call Angles Moving Autos at 530 245 0481.

BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer is a minivan by any other name
Wed, Mar 4 2015The Ultimate Driving Mini Minivan? Too early to say, considering that we've not yet driven it and so we don't know if it's the ultimate anything. But the BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer definitely slots into place as a small MPV in the European market, hence the mini minivan designation, though it doesn't have sliding doors. We don't have any indication that this 2 Series variant will come to the United States, in case you were wondering. With the option of a third row, this seven-passenger, front-wheel-drive (or optionally, all-wheel-drive) machine from BMW is sure to ruffle a few enthusiast feathers, but it also has the potential to be a big seller for the German brand. Available with a range of three- and four-cylinder engines offering between 116 and 192 horsepower, the 2 Series Gran Tourer packs a lot of space into a very small platform. It may not be the prettiest vehicle to wear the Roundel, but it may be the most practical. See it for yourself from every angle in our high-res gallery of live images above, and feel free to read more in the press release below. The new BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer. 11.02.2015 With the new BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer, BMW has carved out yet another new vehicle segment. With its generous space, versatility and groundbreaking flexibility, the BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer is the world's first premium compact model to offer up to seven seats and fully meet the mobility requirements of young families. Compact yet capacious. Despite its compact dimensions – measuring just 4,556 millimetres long, 1,800 mm wide and 1,608 mm high – the new BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer offers ample space and a generous luggage compartment that can be extended in capacity from 645 to 805 litres. With the rear-seat backrests folded down, this rises to an impressive 1,905 litres of load space. Ensuring maximum variability is the standard-fitted fore-aft sliding rear seat bench – with a 40:20:40-split backrest that folds down at the press of a button – which allows three child seats to be fitted. Extending the possibilities even further is an optional third row of seats which can be completely lowered into the loading floor. Maximising the vehicle's everyday practicality is a range of storage options for all three rows of seats, as well as rails on the front-seat backrests with fold-out tables attached.
Senior VP Hildegard Wortmann says BMW's electric journey is just beginning
Fri, Mar 14 2014Anyone who questions BMW's effort or sincerity on electrified vehicles should have a chat with Hildegard Wortmann, the German automaker's senior vice president over product management for automobiles and aftersales. I was fortunate to do just that at the Detroit North American International Auto Show earlier this year. ABG: Where might BMW go with electrified vehicles beyond your i3 urban EV and i8 high-performance hybrid sports car? "That [regulatory] train has left the station" - Hildegard Wortmann HW: I think a big advantage is that we now have two bookends: BMW i [green] and BMW M [high performance]. We can use those bookends to foster the BMW brand in total. Are electrified vehicles the answer to CAFE and European regulations? Is that the future? We don't know, but that [regulatory] train has left the station. To achieve all of these regulations worldwide, there is no way to do it without electrification. That is why the activities of BMW i are not just to launch new products. They are our build-up in competence for learning and gaining experience in electrification. We will use those learnings for the total BMW brand. Technology-wise, we now have a really good understanding of what to do, what not to do, how to work with this and how to get a lot of learnings from the infrastructure and everything that goes with it. And depending on how quickly the market takes off, we can scale it and use it across the range. We will use the competence we will have in vehicle electrification for more than just BMW i. There will be other derivatives and electrification of other products. ABG: Do you see BMW offering pure EVs with larger batteries for greater range? HW: That's a big feature of the Tesla. The question is to find the best balance [of range vs. battery size, weight and cost]. On the i3, we tried to have the right balance between how much range customers need for daily driving and how much battery we put in there. The market will show us. We have over a million kilometers driven by consumers in the Mini E and ActiveE and a fairly good understanding that those people are not driving that much. Putting a really big battery with all that weight into a car that is meant for urban mobility does not make sense. ABG: What about extended-range EVs beyond the i3's optional small range extender engine? "This whole EV movement is in its very early stages." HW: This whole EV movement is in its very early stages.
BMW wants to expand DriveNow carsharing program to 25 new cities
Wed, Mar 12 2014Daimler's Car2go car-sharing service just announced that it will debut in Rome, its 26th global city. Now, BMW says it wants to expand its own carsharing program to, wait for it, 25 more cities. Coincidence? We think not. BMW is looking to bring its DriveNow carsharing program, with its Mini Coopers and 1 Series, to as many as 15 new cities in Europe as well as 10 in the US, Bloomberg News says, citing comments BMW executive Peter Schwarzenbauer made at the Geneva Motor Show last week. The service is now operational in Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Munich, Dusseldorf and San Francisco and serves about a quarter-million people. Of course, it's that last city, where DriveNow started operations in August 2012, that's been somewhat problematic. San Francisco has tough guidelines when it comes to where the cars can be parked, with so few public parking areas to choose from. DriveNow charges $39 for membership in San Francisco, then $12 for the first half hour of driving and 32 cents for each additional minute. DriveNow competes directly against Car2go, which charges around $25 to become a member and then 41 cents a minute to rent a Smart ForTwo.
