1997 BMW Z3 Roadster.

Exterior: There are a few minor stone chips in the front of the vehicle, but no rust, and not dents dings or scratches. On the front bumper it was scraped on a curve scratching the bottom of it. There are no scratches or chips in the glass anywhere on vehicle. All of the emblems are still on the vehicle, the passenger side gill emblem is scratched where someone had tried to pry it off.

Interior: The interior is a one of a kind custom upholstered red and black synthetic leather material and was installed August 2013. It is a crocodile skin print in the red. The door panels match the seat and center console with a red on black design. The center console is also custom made, which opens towards the passenger seat, carpeted on the inside. The radio is a Sony radio with a display which opens with a USB tray for Iphone, Ipod, Mp3, etc.it also comes equipped with Bluetooth and an external microphone. The dash is perfect no cracks or sun fading.

Mechanically: The vehicle had an oil change at 108500 miles. The drive-shaft has been replaced at 105000 miles. The brake pads where replaced and brake fluid changed at 108500 miles. The calipers are painted red with a clear coat for easy cleaning. The upper and lower ball joints were replaced by previous owner at 100000 miles.

The tires and rims are new, each having under 5000 miles on them. Rims even have the awesome BMW valve stem caps.

The vehicle has a dust cover, owner’s manual, shop manual, both diagnostic computers. It has been garage kept by the previous owner and myself.

The car is unique and one of a kind vehicle with all the custom interior that fits this BMW beautifully. I have had this car for almost a year now, the previous owner only drove it occasionally keeping it clean and in the garage. With my son in college now, the car never gets driven and is lonely and needs to be shown off. It’s definitely an eye turner, driving with the top down, I get many people complementing the interior and asking where I got it done. Personally I love the car, just looking to clean up space and get something that I will drive more often.

Meet the inventor of the BMW 3 Series wagon

Sat, 11 May 2013

It's hard to imagine, but once upon a time, there were only two BMW 3 Series variants: the coupe and sedan. Back before gran coupes, convertibles and yes, even touring models were available, buyers could only get their 3 Series fix if it came with two or four doors and a fixed roof. Back in the mid '80s, BMW engineer Max Reisbock was having some trouble fitting his whole family into his four door. Rather than suck it up and buy a van, he picked up a wrecked 3 Series and got to cutting in a buddy's garage. Months later, he had the very first 3 Series Touring ever built.
At first, he kept the the car to himself, using it to haul friends and family around, but he eventually showed it off to his friends at work. When the BMW executives found out about his project, they called him up to take a closer look. After putting an eyeball on the car, they took it, copied his design, made a few tweaks and quickly rolled out the first production 3 Series Touring. How's that for validation? Check out the video below for Reisbock's story.

Recharge Wrap-up: Eigg's renewable energy grid, Wulin City Car EV looks like i3

Fri, Sep 12 2014

Scotland's Isle of Eigg's electrical grid relies solely on wind, hydro and solar power. It's the first grid of its kind after switching to renewable energy from noisy, unreliable diesel generators. Scotland's renewable resources are fodder for supporters of independence form the UK, and Eigg is a perfect example of that potential. Besides being a responsible community, it also seems like a lovely place to visit. Read more at Reuters. London Mayor Boris Johnson is calling for incentives for diesel vehicle scrapping. The goal is to improve London's air quality, encourage the purchase of clean vehicles and offset the inconvenience of charging diesel cars to enter the city's proposed Ultra Low Emissions Zone. Read more at Green Car Congress or in the press release below. BMW, Nissan, Renault and Volkswagen are teaming up to create a better EV charging infrastructure in the UK and Ireland. As part of the Trans-European Transport Network (T-ENT) program, the group aims to create extended EV-friendly roadways with the UK Rapid Charge Network, connecting major cities on the islands. Plans for the network include 70 rapid chargers along 684 miles of road. The four manufacturers also want to extend the project to mainland Europe to encourage the adoption of EVs. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Wuling is working on an EV, called City Car, which liberally takes visual cues from the BMW i3. The City Car EV concept is slated to make its debut in November at the Guangzhou Auto Show, while a production version could make its way onto Chinese roads next year. We might have to wait until the debut to know what powers the City Car, as those details haven't been released yet. General Motors is a 43-percent stakeholder in Wuling. Read and see more at Car News China. Taxi customers in New York will enjoy greater payment flexibility with the new interoperability between RideLinQ and Way2ride apps. Now customers will be able to use either app to pay in any of the city's 20,000 green and yellow taxis. There's no need for separate apps for separate cabs, and no need for drivers to install any new equipment. The groups behind the apps hope to expand this functionality to other cities across the country. Read more in the press release below.

Audi to spend $17 billion to fight BMW

Sat, 29 Dec 2012

It's no secret that VW Group, parent company to not only Volkswagen but also Audi, Bugatti, Bentley, Lamborghini, Porsche and Ducati brands sold in the US, is determined to become the world's largest automaker. Even more impressive is that VW is prepared to spend billions to make it happen.
With that comes word that VW Group will be spending $17 billion on its Audi brand over the next three years to push itself above rival BMW. The money will be invested in both vehicle development (including lightweight auto design and alternative powertrains) and facilities (including expansion in Hungary, China and new operations in Mexico). The luxury brand is focused on global manufacturing infrastructure.
Already Europe's best-selling luxury brand, Audi's objective is to overtake BMW by the end of the decade by selling more than two million cars per year (BMW is shooting for 1.54 million sales in 2013). If those objectives are met, VW Group should be on track to be the industry's volume leader by 2018.
