You are bidding on a 1999 BMW Z3 M Coupe. The one and only legendary "Clown Shoe"! If you've had your eye on the market for a while, you know these are quickly becoming a cult classic in the car world, and are beginning to demand collector-car prices. Car will be listed/publicized elsewhere, so it may not last the entire auction. If you're a serious buyer, please give me a call at 517-425-0142 (Eric), or contact through ebay/email. Car was purchased in 2012 from long-term 2nd owner with around 40K miles, now sitting at about 53,900. Good ownership history, with dealership maintenance and no accidents. Car has been stored during winters, driven sparingly in inclement weather, and will come with a custom-fit indoor car cover.
Exterior: Beautiful Estoril Blue; Best color for Z3 M Coupes, in my opinion. Great overall condition, no accidents, all VIN tags intact. Front fascia encountered highway debris a few years ago resulting in a crack. Damage wasn't that bad, but I opted for a new pre-primed BMW replacement, and had it professionally resprayed by a trusted local painter. Excellent color match and paint quality. Few nicks/chips here and there; few minor dings on lower body. Nothing that detracts from the overall appearance of the car, but i'm extremely picky. Front fascia side markers color-matched. OEM wheels have been professionally stripped and polished, very cool look. Interior: Blue/black two-tone interior. Very nice condition. Pretty minor/normal wear on driver's side bolster. See interior pics. Aftermarket AC Schnitzer pedal set. Mechanical: 3.2 inline 6, car has always ran great and been very reliable. Fuel stabilizer always used for seasonal storage. Regular oil changes using either BMW or Liqui-Moly oil, and either BMW, MANN, or Mahle filters. Pads and rotors are new within the past 6 months, brake lines upgraded to stainless steel, and brake fluid is high performance ATE. Tires are also pretty much new, Sumitomo HTRZIII (OEM sizes). Rogue Engineering rear shock mounts. Just recently changed engine oil/filter, supercharger oil, spark plugs, and o2 sensor. Car is also equipped with an upgraded OEM BMW S54 radiator. Supercharger: VF Engineering "VF350" kit. 6.0 PSI boost. Vortech V3 Si SQ. 350hp/300tq. Very safe and reliable kit, from a very reputable company with a lot of experience in forced induction. Kit has been installed for about 1.5 years, plenty of long road trips, etc... Always been very happy with it. Fuel consumption doesn't suffer that bad depending on driving habits. Kit is reversible; I have the miscellaneous OEM intake parts, and the ECU would need reflashed to stock settings. Please take the time to review the description and pictures, don't hesitate to call 517-425-0142 for questions, and i'll also keep a close eye on my ebay messages. I can help out with shipping logistics if necessary; I know a good company for enclosed transport. Purchase details: 25% non-refundable deposit due within 3 days of auction close, balance due within 7 days or vehicle pickup, whichever comes first. Car sold as/is. No warranties/refunds implied.

M235i outpoints 911, Corvette in CR testing, becomes highest-scoring BMW ever
Fri, 27 Jun 2014Good news just keeps coming for BMW, as Consumer Reports has just handed out a stunner of a verdict - the M235i, a spritely, 320-horsepower coupe that starts at just $43,100 has bested the likes of the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and Porsche 911, vehicles that can easily cost twice as much and come to battle with considerably more power.
CR awarded the spiritual successor to the 1 Series M Coupe a score of 98 out of 100, beating out the 911 and the Stingray by three and six points, respectively. In fact, the M235i is remarkably close to the Tesla Model S' 99, making it one of the highest scores CR has ever handed out. It's also, not surprisingly, the highest-rated BMW ever.
Of the M235i's many attributes, Consumer Reports cited the car's performance potential as well as its quiet ride and comfort for front-seat passengers. While it's a shock to no one, CR called out the limited space in the backseats as well as some finicky controls as this Bimmer's biggest shortcomings.

BMW planning to stretch i3 into i5 family hauler?
Sat, 30 Nov 2013If you're sweet on the new BMW i3 but wish it had more space to carry people and stuff, we've got good news for you. According to Autocar, BMW is planning on stretching the platform that underpins the i3 to create a new model, expected to be called i5.
The stretch job would add an extra four inches of legroom in the back and another six inches of rear overhang to the benefit of cargo space. The result would create a vehicle longer than the current Mini Countryman - although the next Countryman is likely to be even larger. As Autocar points out, the process of extending the i3's composte passenger cell likely wouldn't be as difficult or cost-intensive as lengthening a conventional metal chassis, although the rear doors would need to be re-engineered.
Whether the resulting vehicle would more closely resemble a hatchback, wagon, minivan or something in between remains to be seen, however BMW is said to have already registered the nameplates i1 through i8, signalling that the possibility is at least there to add more members to its new EV family.
