1996 BMW Z3 Roadster Convertible, 5 Speed Manual Transmission, Custom 19" Wheels, Red & Black, Very Low Miles, Collectors Car .... This is a very beautiful example of the first year BMW Z3. It has been a 'Garage Queen' for many years. I have owned the vehicle for several years. It had 27,900 miles on it when I purchased it and the vehicle now has 30,942 miles. The wheels and tires were new less than 4,000 miles ago. The exhaust pipe system was recently replaced and the battery was also recently replaced. An aftermarket WowAuto sound system has been installed with CD, Radio, TV and IPOD type musical connectivity. The last picture shows the retractable WowAuto flat panel control screen and also the TV / mirror adapter.
This is a highly collectible vehicle that is also very enjoyable to drive. The overall condition of this vehicle is superb. Maintenance has been performed at BMW Dealerships. The interior leather and exterior paint and convertible top are all in very good condition. This vehicle drives wonderfully and there are no mechanical or driving issues.
I am in the process of a pending move and so I have decided to sell this classic BMW Z3. I recently took the car in for California smog certification and was advised by the smog technician that the emissions are very clean, however, the 'drive cycle ready monitors' are not setting so the final step of the smog certification could not be passed. They provided a drive cycle sequence of speeds and RPM's that the vehicle should run in order for the drive cycle ready monitors to set.
This vehicle is being sold without meeting the "CA Smog Certification" requirement. "The purchaser will be required to sign an agreement that the CA Smog Certification responsibility will be assumed by them".
If you need additional pictures of any particular portion of this vehicle I will provide them. The car is located in Temecula, CA and you are welcome to have a mechanic of your choice evaluate the vehicle before you bid.
Pick-up is in Temecula, CA.
Payment by cash or cashiers check only.

BMW, Hyundai score big in JD Power's first Tech Experience Index
Mon, Oct 10 2016While automakers are quick to brag about winning a JD Power Initial Quality Study award, the reality, as we've pointed out before, is that these ratings are somewhat misleading, since IQS doesn't necessarily distinguish genuine quality issues. JD Power's new Tech Experience Index aims to solve that problem. The new metric takes the same 90-day approach as IQS but focuses exclusively on technology – collision protection, comfort and convenience, driving assistance, entertainment and connectivity, navigation, and smartphone mirroring. It splits the industry up into just seven segments, based loosely on size, which is why the Chevrolet Camaro is in the same division (mid-size) as Kia Sorento and the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class is in the same segment as the Hyundai Genesis (mid-size premium). It makes for some screwy bedfellows, to be sure. Still, splitting tech experience away from initial quality should allow customers to make more informed and intelligent decisions when buying new vehicles. In the inaugural study, respondents listed BMW and Hyundai as the big winners, with two segment awards – the 2 Series for small premium and the 4 Series for compact premium, and the Genesis for mid-size premium and Tucson for small segment. The Chevrolet Camaro (midsize), Kia Forte (compact), and Nissan Maxima (large) scored individual wins. Ford also had a surprising hit with the Lincoln MKC, which ranked third in the compact premium segment behind the 4 Series and Lexus IS. This is a coup for the Blue Oval, whose woeful MyFord Touch systems made the brand a victim of the IQS' flaws in the early 2010s. But Ford and other automakers might not want to celebrate just yet. According to JD Power, there's still a lot of room for improvement – navigation systems were the lowest-rated piece of tech in the study. Instead, customers repeatedly saluted collision-avoidance and safety systems, giving the category the best marks of the study and listing blind-spot monitoring and backup cameras as two must-have features – 96 percent of respondents said they wanted those two systems in their next vehicle. But this isn't really a surprise. Implementation of safety systems from brand to brand is similar, and they don't require any input from users, unlike navigation and infotainment systems which are frustratingly deep.
2015 BMW i8 configurator is ready to show the future
Mon, 22 Sep 2014Good news if you're one of the lucky few that can afford the new BMW i8. The high-performance hybrid's configurator has gone live on BMW USA's consumer website, meaning you can head in and customize till you drop.
If you've ever played with a BMW configurator, you'll instantly feel at home with the i8's. You have the choice of four trim packages (your author refuses to use BMW's pretentious "World" trim names), followed by wheel and exterior paint options. The interior choices are fixed to the trim level, so aside from trim, color and the choice of two wheel options, there isn't a lot to pick out on the i8.
Head on over and take a look.
BMW joins the early holiday advertising fray with three new ads
Thu, 06 Nov 2014October 31 is no longer known as Halloween, or All Saints' Eve or even as that day when all children simultaneously develop huge cavities. It's now known as the day before Christmas/holiday advertising begins. Seriously, as of November 1, it seems like companies across the country and from every industry have declared open season on holiday ad campaigns. It's all premature enough that we're already feeling our inner Grinch showing, but at least some of the ads are better done than others.
Among them are new spots from BMW, which has arrived with this mini-campaign of three 30-second, Christmas-themed spots. There's a cameo from Santa Claus, who's at the helm of a sleek M6 Gran Coupe in one spot, while a 3 Series Gran Coupe slices through a slalom of Christmas trees in another. The final spot, called "Road Home", doesn't focus so much on the brand's "Ultimate Driving Machines," as it does the trip home for the holidays.
We've embedded all three videos below, so take a look and then let us know what you think of this seemingly perpetual holiday marketing calendar creep - and the BMW ads in particular - in Comments.
