LOOK NO FURTHER >>>>>>>>> YOU HAVE FOUND YOUR MID LIFE CRISIS DREAM CAR !!!! {{{{ PLEASE READ FURTHER DOWN TO SEE MY SPECIAL OFFER IN REGARDS TO MY B.I.N. OPTION }}} I hate to sell my "SPY CAR", but I have lost my winter storage and don't want to wait till fall to sell. I lose out on a driving season and you gain one! I purchased this Classic BMW beauty on E-Bay in the fall of 2008. At the time the vehicle only had 5,000 miles and was and still is in like new condition. I flew to Boston and drove her back home to Canada. The "beamer" is an American built vehicle and the odometer (distance travelled) reads in mileage and not kilometres. Like most vehicles on the road, the speedometer shows both, mileage and kilometres For anyone in Canada that might be concerned if the Z-3 is Canadian Certified, then please don't be! I installed the day time running light module and it had no other issues for passing the Canadian safety. I have the R.I.V. certificate sticker placed on the interior of the trunk lid. { See Photo's } Plus I would not been able to have driven it for the last 6 years if it wasn't certified! Amazingly, she only has 16,900 miles, or 27,200 klm. That averages out to only 1,000 miles a year. I am a VERY FUSSY vehicle owner and truly babied this Z-3 from day one. She had been my dream car when they came out in 1996! Oil and filter change every season, no exceptions. Coolant flush and fill was performed 3 yrs ago. She really didn't need much else! The paint was waxed at least twice a season. Our driving season is short, only from mid May till mid October. I always waited until mid-May to put her on the road as I wanted all the winter road grime to be cleaned away. The paint sparkles as she was still in the show room. At 50 plus years of age, I can assure you that I am NO speed demon. I never did anything stupid with this car, in regards to speed or misuse! This car is a real head turner and conversation piece. Don't expect to get gas or go shopping without someone "drooling" and wanting to talk about this beauty. My license plate reads "SPY CAR", because James Bond used a BMW Z-3 in the 1996 movie Golden Eye. The first time that a German car was used for James Bond and the first movie ever to show off the all new Z-3 . The beamer is equipped with a computer performance chip, a performance exhaust and a K&N air filter system. These three items help bring the horse power up from the stock 190 to apprx. 210. The performance exhaust is not too loud and won't break any windows ha-ha, but does give the car a very nice "throaty" sound! I still have the original exhaust and you are welcome to take that home with you as well. I also installed a three (3) spoke European Style steering wheel. Looks so much nicer than the stock wheel. I have also installed roll bars that finishes off that unique roadster convertible look. The front part of the hood and front bumper have a clear vinyl protective cover, that the original owner had installed. Even though the Michelin Pilot tires are 17 years old, you would think they were new. No cracks on the side walls with plenty of tread depth. The "Zed" was always just a sunny day summer drive and seldom driven in the rain. Always garaged by mid October. She comes with the original set of keys and key-less entry. She also has an Alarm system. I have also purchased the cream colour, tailored fit car cover along with the hood nose bra, front bumper bra and R.V. Mirror covers. I could go on ALL day bragging about my "Spy Car", but I will finish with the following; You will simply not be disappointed with this Z-3. If I love it then I am almost certain that you will as well. As I said earlier, I am extremely fussy about the vehicles I drive and how I take care of them. Pride in ownership shows, inside and out!!! I also wanted to mention that this Z-3 is more than ready to take on any road trip you might have in mind. She is presently still in storage and will stay that way until she finds a new home. I have NO plans to drive her this year so the mileage will not change. I will also change the engine oil and filter before she leaves and do my best to make sure she is road ready. If you use my BIN option, I will give pay your first $500.00 usd for either your shipping or travel cost. I will also include the cream colour car cover { worth $300.00 plus } and both hood and front bumper bra's along with the R.V. mirror covers. { worth another $200.00 plus } . All three items would easily cost you over $500.00 usd. Save $1,000.00 just for using my BIN option!!! If you are the lucky winner, I will also need a $1,000.00 deposit on Pay-Pal within 48 hrs. The remain cost of the vehicle can be paid with either a Bank Draft or Money Order. You can also come with cash if you are picking her up and driving her home. Awesome time of the year for a "top down" trip on the highway! If you are pre-paying in advance, then I will need sufficient time to clear your choice of payment, before the car can leave. NO PAY PAL please for final payment. I pride myself in being an honest, friendly seller with very good communication skills. I do my best to answer all questions in a timely manner and remember, there are NO stupid questions. The more you ask the more you will know about this Classic Z-3 and the more you will realize that you should purchase her!! If you are shipping this vehicle, I will be happy to do what I can, to help you in this process. Please be aware that you are fully responsible for obtaining any documentation that is required for this car to cross the border, registering and insuring this vehicle once you get it home. Again, I will be happy to work with you and help in any way I can. Last but not least. Please don't be concerned about the date stamp on the pictures. Yes the pictures were taken in 2009, but in NO WAY is the Z-3 any different today then it was then. Only the mileage has changed. I only drove it apprx. 2,000 miles a year. My drive back from Boston was just over 2,000 miles. I sincerely apologies if I have made any errors in my write up. I am being completely honest and up front about this Z-3 and tried to describe it as accurately as possible. If you read something that doesn't make sense, then please don't hesitate to bring it to my attention! THANKS! Thanks for reading and all the BEST in your search! |

BMW working with Dainese to put airbags in motorcycle suits [w/video]
Fri, 19 Jul 2013Addressing the safety concerns of its customers, BMW Motorrad is co-developing a rider suit with Dainese to feature something that's much more common in automobiles: airbags.
Starting with Dainese's D-air Protect System, which is made up of inflatable protectors that deploy in 15 milliseconds, the two companies will integrate the technology into a BMW Motorrad brand, one-piece racing suit, the DoubleR RaceAir. Later a different, street-oriented airbag system that can be retrofitted to bikes will be offered to Beemer riders.
The DoubleR RaceAir is expected to be presented at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan in November, after all required crash testing has been completed.
Audi investing $30.3 billion through 2018 for product expansion
Sun, 29 Dec 2013How does Audi plan to reach two million units in annual sales and pay for the 11 new models it's adding to its lineup - an expansion that may include models named SQ2, Q9 and F-Tron? By increasing its investment to 22 billion euros ($30.3 billion US) between now and 2018. That figure represents an increase of about 500 million euros over the previously planned outlay, according to a report by Automotive News, and that could be due to Audi wishing to goad the momentum that pushed it to 1.5 million annual sales two years ahead of schedule.
It's also about staving off the challenges from BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Now that BMW has been able to turn some of its attention away from its "i" series of Megacity cars, it will reportedly spend more than planned in 2014 as it continues the rollout of ten all-new vehicles and 15 new-generation vehicles through the end of next year. Mercedes, having been dropped to third in the sales race, is preparing to add 13 new cars over the next six years.
Audi's money is going into technology, into product like the next-generation TT and the Q1 and production expansions and upgrades all over the world. The expenditure represents just under a fourth of Volkswagen's 84.2 billion-euro ($115.7 US) outlay devoted to taking the number-one global automaker title away from General Motors and Toyota by 2018.
BMW names new CEO, chairman and head of development
Tue, Dec 9 2014Big changes are afoot in the top ranks at BMW, as the Bavarian automaker has announced not just one, but several appointments in the top floors of its towering headquarters in Munich in what the company itself is referring as "a generational change" in its leadership. The biggest change relates to the chairman of BMW's management board – German-speak for the company's chief executive officer. Effective at the end of the company's Annual General Meeting on May 13, 2015, the company will be run by Harald Kruger. The 49-year-old mechanical engineer has been with BMW since 1992 and has sat on its board since 2008, and has until now been responsible for production for the entire BMW Group. The chairmanship of the board of management currently belongs to Dr. Norbert Reithofer, whom the management is endorsing to chair the supervisory board (which Americans might call the board of directors). That role in turn is currently held by Professor Joachim Milberg, who will step down from his position in order to make way for Reithofer to take his place. Milberg is earmarked to remain with the company to oversee its corporate social responsibility and charitable activities. BMW has also announced the appointment of Klaus Frohlich to serve as its head of development with immediate effect. In his new capacity, Frohlich replaces Dr. Herbert Diess, who in turn has left Munich to take over the Volkswagen passenger car division. Below you'll find statements from both BMW and VW on their new appointments. BMW Group takes steps to initiate a generational change at the head of the Board of Management and Supervisory Board 09.12.2014 - Harald Kruger to become Chairman of the Board of Management in May 2015 - Dr. Norbert Reithofer proposed to succeed as Chairman of the Supervisory Board - Prof. Joachim Milberg to take leading role in the BMW Group's worldwide CSR activities and charitable foundations - Klaus Frohlich appointed to Board of Management with responsibility for Development Munich . At its meeting today, the Supervisory Board of BMW AG took the first steps to initiate a generational change at the head of the company's Board of Management and Supervisory Board. Harald Kruger will become Chairman of the Board of Management effective the end of the Annual General Meeting on 13 May 2015. The current Chairman of the Board of Management, Dr. Norbert Reithofer, will be put forward for election to the Supervisory Board at the 2015 Annual General Meeting.
