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 offers M Performance Power Kit for 2012 335i sedan
Thu, 28 Mar 2013BMW has let loose a new M Performance Power Kit for its F30-generation 335i and 335i xDrive sedans. Starting at $1,100 for the kit - installation is extra - your car will be fitted with a new ECU and air intake on the functional side and an M Performance engine cover and rocker panel stickers on the decorative side. The Power Kit raises the 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder's horsepower rating from 300 to 320, and on automatic models, torque gets a boost from 300 pound-feet to 332 lb-ft - manual transmission models get a smaller bump to 317 lb-ft.
According to the Bavarian automaker, you'll be able to hear the change in the overrun exhaust note, and 0-60 mile-per-hour times drop by 0.2 seconds. The package is available now at all BMW Centers in the US, and if you get it installed when you purchase the car new, it will get the same four-year, 50,000-mile warranty as the vehicle. Have it done after the fact and the kit will be warranted for two years and unlimited miles. There's a press release below with some more details.
How to charge up your BMW i3 with a Honda
Sat, Sep 13 2014Behold a cheaper version of BMW's range extender for its i3 plug-in. And it's brought to you by ... Honda? Sort of, if you take the approach that Gadget Review took when it looked for an alternative to ponying up the $4,000 or so for the gas-powered i3 range extender that comes from the factory. What was procured was a Honda portable generator for Home Depot for the experiment, which involved gassing the generator up in a parking lot, plugging in the i3 and going out for a cup of coffee. The result was that, after about a half-hour of charging, the i3 picked up about four miles of driving range. Not exactly revolutionary but it least a bit instructive. And given that Honda generators start at about $800, the idea, while clunky, is potentially cash-saving. Gadget Review briefly took the experiment one-step further by trying to run the generator inside the back of the car and plugging in, complete with a rigged-up ventilation system, but the host thought better of it once he realized that there'd be suffocation involved. Why this was never tried on the Nissan Leaf, we'll never know. Check out Gadget Review's five-minute video below.
Check out 90 years of BMW Motorrad in 90 seconds
Tue, 12 Mar 2013After ninety years in business and first-to-market motorcycle innovations like the one-piece 'tunnel' crankcase, hydraulically dampened front forks and full fairings, as well as that trademark boxer engine, BMW Motorrad is celebrating its nonagenarian status with a video: You can follow the ride on BMW motorcycles from 1923 to now in just 90 seconds.
Okay, so there's more than a video - some anniversary-themed bikes and a new retro boxer model celebrating the R 32 "airhead' from 1923 also commemorate the occasion. But you can start with the video, and that's below.
