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. |

BMW offers xDrive on 2015 2 Series
Fri, 06 Jun 2014BMW has released its mile-long list of model changes for 2015. It's mostly comprised of tiny tweaks to options packages, pricing or trim colors, but there are a few interesting new features in there too. One thing all buyers will notice is that as of July 1, the company's destination charge increases by $25, to $950 for all of its models.
The 2 Series gets two really useful upgrades for 2015. We already knew that BMW's xDrive all-wheel drive system would be offered on the M235i this summer. However, it won't be the only 2 capable of spinning all four wheels. The 228i model will also be available with the system for $34,850 (after destination), $1,800 more than the standard model.
The other big addition brings a sportier ride to the 228i (with or without xDrive) for those who don't want to spring for the M235i. BMW is adding a Track Handling Package (pictured above) that lowers the suspension 10mm and includes the Adaptive M Suspension, Variable Sport Steering, M Sport Brakes and 18-inch wheels with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. It's available on manual or automatic models at $1,600 for cars ordered with the M Sport or Sport Line trims or $2,200 without it.
BMW confirms limited i3 Electronaut Edition, says i5* is in development [UPDATE]
Wed, Jan 15 2014Jacob Harb, head of electric vehicle operations and strategy for BMW, is excited these days. He's got a lot to sort out as the company's first large-scale production electric vehicle, the i3. Extending Electronaut leases, arranging tens of thousands of EV test drives and making sure there will be enough of the little city cars in the US when customer deliveries will start in May. Oh, and he's already working on the next BMW EV, which we think is likely to be the i5. During the Detroit Auto Show this week, Harb declined to name the model (surprise) but he did tell AutoblogGreen, "You can probably take an educated guess at the next thought process, something a little bigger, maybe a little more range, relative to the i3. We've got everything trademarked and we're exploring the best, next iteration. It is coming. It's in development now." [See update below.] An i5 has been rumored for years, but Harb said he's flying to Munich next week to "start the discussions further" on BMW's next-gen EVs. The Electronaut Edition i3 is "a thank you to them for being part of this broad journey with us" - BMW's Jacob Harb But there's much more to do, given the upcoming i3 launch. For one thing, leases for the first participants in BMW's Active E electronaut program - which started in January 20121 - will end in the next week or so, and those who want to get an i3 – and an "overwhelming majority" have said they are interested - may get their leases extended so they don't have to revert back to a gas car in the meantime. BMW dealers will be able to start ordering the i3 in "the next few days" and the Active E Electronauts will get the first of those cars off the production line, "as a thank you to them for being part of this broad journey with us," Harb said. There will also be a special Electronaut Edition of the i3, that will be upgraded from the standard i3 at not cost. Harb wouldn't say what's different, just that the "options and features" will serve to identify the car from the outside. It will be "as unique and compelling as possible," he said, with details coming in the next few weeks. The i3 is already on sale in Europe, the company won't start making US-bound vehicles until March. Since there are no official i3 orders in the system yet, Harb didn't know exactly what the split will be between pure EV and the range extender version, but that his estimate is 50/50. He also wouldn't talk about production numbers, but did say that.
Why BMWs are cheaper than Hyundais in Korea
Sat, 18 May 2013Bloomberg reports shifting tariff regulations have upended the traditional automotive pecking order in Korea. Thanks to cheaper import taxes, foreign brands have seen market share jump from 28 percent to 41 percent over the last two years. BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi have all capitalized on the shift, with domestics like Hyundai and Kia suffering at the hands of their German rivals.
Taxes on European imports have fallen from 8 percent in 2011 to just 3.2 percent today. Over the next few years, tariffs will all but be eliminated for most imports, and taxes on US-made vehicles are expected to fall to just 4 percent in 2014. By 2016, that number will be zero. Needless to say, Hyundai and Kia are concerned about the shift.
Hyundai has seen profit fall by 15 percent last quarter, and the company says it is on pace to see the slowest sales growth since 2007. The company's shares have fallen by 12 percent. In order to stem the losses, Hyundai has discounted its midsize sedans and started working on diesel engine options.
