THIS IS A NO RESERVE LISTING.
This is my 1996 BMW Z3 roadster convertible. This car has only 40,402 original miles and it looks, runs and drives like a new car. If someone told you this car was a year old with maybe 5000 miles, you'd believe it. I believe this is the nicest condition 1996 Z3 for sale in the country. This is quite simply a gorgeous, clean, unmolested, beautiful car.
1996 was the first year for the Z3 roadster, and it was a huge success- in fact all of the 15,000 production run was sold out before the car even made it to dealer's showrooms- often at a premium ABOVE sticker price. Consequently, these 1996 cars were often purchased by wealthy enthusiasts who took care of and cherished the cars. This car is just such an example.
This car was owned by a retired couple who garaged the car from October to May each year. This car has never been winter-driven and has never seen snow or salt since it was new. It was a third car, for summer fun use only.
The only way to describe this car is "PRISTINE". I am quite confident that there isn't a nicer condition 1996 Z3 for sale anywhere- it is just unbelievably clean and like a new car.
The paint is all original and it is in excellent condition. The factory VIN stickers are present on every body panel. This car has never been in any accidents, and has never had any paintwork or bodywork. The car was always garaged, so the paint isn't oxidized, and the black trim and plastics are still just like new.
The alloy wheels are spotless and look gorgeous. The tires are nearly new Yokohamas.
The undercarriage of the car is pristine and spotless.
The convertible top is original and in superb condition. There isn't any appreciable wear on the convertible top, and the rear window is in excellent, clean and fully transparent condition. The factory tonneau boot is included to protect the convertible top when it is retracted.
The interior of the car shows no wear. The leather, plastics, upholstery and vinyl are all superb and just like the car was when it was new. The car still smells like new inside, in fact.
This car runs and drives beautifully- just like it did when it was new in 1996. The engine, transmission, clutch, brakes, steering, etc are all working superbly. There are no warning lights illuminated and this car needs no known mechanical work.
It is impossible to overstate exactly how outstanding, clean and original this Z3 really is. I feel like you could have taken one off the production line in 1996, put it away and it would look just like this car looks right now.
I have the books and manuals for the car as well as the original window sticker. There are two sets of keys and remotes, and the car also comes with a quality padded and fitted car cover.
The equipment on the car is as follows:
- 1.9L 4-cylinder engine
- 5-speed manual transmission
- A/C (blows cold)
- leather power seats
- ABS brakes
- cruise control
- power windows
If you have questions, please call Richard at 216 389 7100.
You can fly in to Cleveland (CLE) and drive this car home. Alternatively, you can have the car shipped- for a quote please call Angles Moving Autos at 530 245 0481.

BMW-Toyota sports car heading towards Tokyo debut
Mon, 20 May 2013Earlier this year, BMW and Toyota confirmed a four-part joint venture mostly focusing on increasing improving vehicle efficiency using fuel cells, lightweight materials and better battery technology. Also tucked into the announcement was a "feasibility study" for a shared platform to underpin a future midsize "sports vehicle."
In terms of the latter, it seems that things have stepped up from the feasibility stage to the conceptual stage, as Motor Trend reports we could see a pair of new sports car concepts debut later this year in at the Tokyo Motor Show. There isn't much information about the new program, but the article suggests the sports cars could be all-wheel drive hybrids, with electric motors powering the front wheels and a gas engine powering the rear wheels. While a partnership between Toyota and BMW might not lend itself to a catchy portmanteau like "Toyobaru," here's hoping it will bear fruit that is as exciting as the ones produced by the Toyota/Subaru tie up.
BMW's DriveNow car sharing shutting down in SF next month
Tue, Oct 6 2015BMW's DriveNow car-sharing service is suspending operations in San Francisco next month after more than three years. The culprit? Not enough parking spots in the City. BMW debuted both DriveNow car-sharing and its ParkNow service in the City by the Bay in August 2012, initially launching with the ActiveE plug-in vehicle and later moving over to the i3. While there probably wasn't a shortage of folks looking to drive those cars, it was the ending part of that equation that proved problematic. That's because San Francisco hasn't been able to clear out enough street-parking spots to make the program work properly, despite adding 80 spaces for the 150 cars in the program back in 2014. "We hope to return to San Francisco in the future and will continue to engage with the City on possible solutions that will allow you to experience the full benefits of our one-way car sharing service," said DriveNow CEO Richard Sternberg on the company's website. "In the meantime, we are focusing our efforts on new cities where our transportation solution can flourish. We would like to thank you for your loyal support and embracing flexible car sharing as an alternative transportation method." As far as that expansion to other US cities, BMW hasn't been specific. Bimmer also runs the DriveNow program in three Germany cities as well as Copenhagen, Vienna and London. So, DriveNow apparently has an easier time finding parking spots in London than in San Francisco. Why BMW couldn't use a flexible parking system for its one-way rentals like the similar Car2go program uses remains a mystery.

Corvette gets slidey with Britain's best performance cars
Sat, 18 Oct 2014Autocar wants to find Britain's best driver's car, and it's challenging a murderers' row of some of the world's best performance vehicles to find out, including the latest Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. All of them were therefore assembled at the Castle Combe Circuit to find a winner.
If it wants to take the crown from this pack of mostly European competitors, the 'Vette has to beat some steep competition. Its challengers include monsters like the Ferrari 458 Speciale, Ariel Atom 3.5R and Jaguar F-Type Coupe. As a further hurdle for the winner to clear, Autocar also has last year's champ among the fighters - the Porsche 911 GT3.
Even if you're not at all interested in the C7, there's still something here for practically any fan of fast cars. The competitors include relative oddities among the pack like the Renault Mégane RS Trophy and Alfa Romeo 4C. Plus, Autocar has some well-positioned microphones that let you hear the Atom wailing like a banshee and the roar of the 458 Speciale. Check out the video to see which one of these all-stars takes home the award this year.
