This is a very nice and well cared for 2002 BMW Z3 M Roadster. Since you clicked on this I guess I shouldn't go through how rare this car is with less than 1600 built in 01-02 and 02 being the last year for the Z3. Let me tell you about this car. This car was in NY in Hurricane Sandy. This car was cleaned and a shop had removed the seats when I bought it from an insurance auction. From what I can tell this had about 3 inched of water inside. The seat motors are toasted and were unbolted to move the seats to unbolt them. The water did not get over the tunnel or to any wiring under the dash. The airbag module did not get wet. The seat cushions don't appear to have been wet either. This was a very low flood. The engine starts and runs very well. Everything from the windows to the AC works. What this will need are all four seat motors and redo the wiring to the seats as this has one big electrical connection similar to the one found on E46 seats and that is corroded and should be replaced. The brakes are in excellent shape and transmission shifts like new. There is a bit of whine from the clutch throw out bearing. This is not a big job for me so I will just install a new one if the car sells. I can't see doing it now as if the reserve price is not met I will be parting the car out. This has polished wheels which I have never seen before. They look beautiful but will need some light cleaning. The top is in like new condition. Overall this is a chance of a lifetime to get a 24k mile S54 M Roadster with less than $1000 of work needed for less than half what one should cost. You will be seriously impressed with the condition of this car. I will add better pictures as soon as the weather clears up and I can take pictures outside. The title is a New York 907 salvage certificate. As the insurance companies would not turn the key on any flood vehicle the title is marked not actual mileage. I am a NJ car dealer so yes if you are a NJ resident you will have to pay 7% sales tax. If you are not a NJ resident you will have to fill out a ST 10 tax exception form. No exceptions. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding. Please feel free to contact me to set up a time to come see the car.

Ok, I've had a ton of questions on this car. The wheels are the proper wheels for the car but instead of being painted these have been polished. The wheels are not curb rashed, bent, or damaged. They do need to be cleaned and I would hand polish them if it was my car. I also say I did not mention that the lower sides of the front bumper where slightly damaged when this was picked up by the loader. I added pictures of this. If you have already bid and no longer want the car do to this please contact me by the end of the day on Friday and I will cancel your bid. The leather on the seats is perfect and will not need to be replaced. It is soft and the car has no abnormal smells. The only other part of the seats that maybe damaged are the seat belt latches as they have the airbag pyrotechnic in them that was in the water. They may be fine but without taking care of the seat plug there is no way to test them. These are not to bad at around $150 a side new from BMW. The antenna was unscrewed and was in the trunk. It is back on in the new pictures and yes the radio works. I have had quite a few people ask about temp tags. I can not stress this enough. THIS IS A SALVAGE TITLE. This can not legally be driven on the road until it has been inspected by your state and you are issued a new title. So no I can not issue a temp tag and the car must be towed. I will take care of the throw out bearing as the reserve is meet and this car will sell. Someone is going to get a great car. I had a few people mention how great a track car this would make. That is a great idea and I wish I could keep it myself as a track toy. So thanks for checking this out and have a great day.

BMW 2 Series gets 3-cylinder Mini engine
Fri, Dec 12 2014BMW just keeps lopping off cylinders from its engines and sliding the ever-more-diminutive mills into its models. This spring, Europeans will get some of the automaker's smallest yet thanks to a new entry-level 2 Series that will share a powerplant with the Mini Cooper. The Bavarian company will also introduce a few other tweaks to the compact coupe across the pond. The 218i is the new 2 Series base model, and it shares its 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder with the latest family of Minis. The engine makes the same 134 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque, but BMW does have some tiny changes for it. First, the orientation is swapped to fit lengthwise under the hood and drive the rear wheels. Just as importantly, buyers can order it with an eight-speed automatic, rather than the six-speed in the Minis. BMW claims that the little engine gives the 218i a 50:50 weight distribution, and it takes around 8.8 seconds to reach 62 miles per hour with the standard six-speed manual – tack on another tenth for the automatic. Either way, top speed is still a perfectly respectable 132 mph. Those acceleration numbers, incidentally, are over a second slower than what the latest Cooper is quoted at. Beyond this new base model, BMW will bring a few other additions to the 2 Series for Europe. The 220d oil burner will be available with xDrive all-wheel drive, and the company will introduce several new equipment bundles called Advantage, Luxury Line, Sport Line and M Sport. Each will bundle various options and trims together to appeal to buyers. No word yet on whether the 218i will eventually make it to North America, but we aren't holding our breath. Scroll down to read BMW's lengthy release about all of the changes set for the 2 Series. The BMW 2 Series Coupe: New entry-level engines, new model variants, even greater individuality. Premiere of the BMW 218i Coupe with 3-cylinder petrol engine from the new BMW Group engine portfolio and the BMW 220d xDrive Coupe – new and varied range of equipment features for model variants Advantage, Sport Line, Luxury Line and M Sport. Munich. From March 2015, new entry-level engines, a further four-wheel drive model and additional equipment options will increase the diversity of features available for the BMW 2 Series Coupe. With the market launch of the new BMW 218i Coupe, a three-cylinder petrol engine from the BMW Group's latest engine family will be featured for the first time in the brand's sporty and elegant compact model.
Car and Driver shows off awesome 1960s ads
Fri, Sep 11 2015Someone must have recently rediscovered the keys to the archives at Car and Driver, and the access has been put to good use. Following last month's fantastic look at automotive ads from the '50s, there's now a new gallery running from March 1960 through December 1969. This collection provides a great overview of a decade full of iconic cars. If you're a fan of Carroll Shelby, particularly his Mustangs, then there's a lot to love among this group. One ad from July 1965 aimed to sell the GT350, but with an ocean of text and a tiny picture, it probably could've used a once-over by Don Draper's team. By December '65, the copywriters ironed out the problems with a spot proclaiming boldly "Shelby GT350 is 'Son of Cobra.'" The company offered some great accessories, too. For those into European motoring, there's a humorous attempt to sell the Alfa Romeo Giulia as both a racecar and family hauler. Toyota also boasts about the winning record for the 2000GT. Among the best text comes from BMW for lines like: "What's BMW got? The most advanced high-performance engine in any production car, for a cruising speed of 100 mph." Of course, Volkswagen's famous "Lemon" ad for the Beetle also gets its due here. Separately, each of these ads is fascinating, but taken together they tell the story of a great decade of motoring. Go give them all a read at Car and Driver.

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners
Sat, 30 Mar 2013The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
