LOOK NO FURTHER >>>>>>>>> YOU HAVE FOUND YOUR MID LIFE CRISIS DREAM CAR !!!!

{{{{ PLEASE READ FURTHER DOWN TO SEE MY SPECIAL OFFER IN REGARDS TO MY B.I.N. OPTION }}}

I hate to sell my "SPY CAR", but I have lost my winter storage and don't want to wait till fall to sell. I lose out on a driving season and you gain one!

I purchased this Classic BMW beauty on E-Bay in the fall of 2008. At the time the vehicle only had 5,000 miles and was and still is in like new condition. I flew to Boston and drove her back home to Canada.

The "beamer" is an American built vehicle and the odometer (distance travelled) reads in mileage and not kilometres. Like most vehicles on the road, the speedometer shows both, mileage and kilometres For anyone in Canada that might be concerned if the Z-3 is Canadian Certified, then please don't be! I installed the day time running light module and it had no other issues for passing the Canadian safety. I have the R.I.V. certificate sticker placed on the interior of the trunk lid. { See Photo's } Plus I would not been able to have driven it for the last 6 years if it wasn't certified!

Amazingly, she only has 16,900 miles, or 27,200 klm. That averages out to only 1,000 miles a year.

I am a VERY FUSSY vehicle owner and truly babied this Z-3 from day one. She had been my dream car when they came out in 1996! Oil and filter change every season, no exceptions. Coolant flush and fill was performed 3 yrs ago. She really didn't need much else!

The paint was waxed at least twice a season. Our driving season is short, only from mid May till mid October. I always waited until mid-May to put her on the road as I wanted all the winter road grime to be cleaned away. The paint sparkles as she was still in the show room.

At 50 plus years of age, I can assure you that I am NO speed demon. I never did anything stupid with this car, in regards to speed or misuse!

This car is a real head turner and conversation piece. Don't expect to get gas or go shopping without someone "drooling" and wanting to talk about this beauty. My license plate reads "SPY CAR", because James Bond used a BMW Z-3 in the 1996 movie Golden Eye. The first time that a German car was used for James Bond and the first movie ever to show off the all new Z-3 .

The beamer is equipped with a computer performance chip, a performance exhaust and a K&N air filter system. These three items help bring the horse power up from the stock 190 to apprx. 210. The performance exhaust is not too loud and won't break any windows ha-ha, but does give the car a very nice "throaty" sound! I still have the original exhaust and you are welcome to take that home with you as well.

I also installed a three (3) spoke European Style steering wheel. Looks so much nicer than the stock wheel. I have also installed roll bars that finishes off that unique roadster convertible look. The front part of the hood and front bumper have a clear vinyl protective cover, that the original owner had installed.

Even though the Michelin Pilot tires are 17 years old, you would think they were new. No cracks on the side walls with plenty of tread depth.

The "Zed" was always just a sunny day summer drive and seldom driven in the rain. Always garaged by mid October.

She comes with the original set of keys and key-less entry. She also has an Alarm system.

I have also purchased the cream colour, tailored fit car cover along with the hood nose bra, front bumper bra and R.V. Mirror covers.

I could go on ALL day bragging about my "Spy Car", but I will finish with the following;

You will simply not be disappointed with this Z-3. If I love it then I am almost certain that you will as well. As I said earlier, I am extremely fussy about the vehicles I drive and how I take care of them. Pride in ownership shows, inside and out!!!

I also wanted to mention that this Z-3 is more than ready to take on any road trip you might have in mind. She is presently still in storage and will stay that way until she finds a new home. I have NO plans to drive her this year so the mileage will not change. I will also change the engine oil and filter before she leaves and do my best to make sure she is road ready.

If you use my BIN option, I will give pay your first $500.00 usd for either your shipping or travel cost. I will also include the cream colour car cover { worth $300.00 plus } and both hood and front bumper bra's along with the R.V. mirror covers. { worth another $200.00 plus } . All three items would easily cost you over $500.00 usd. Save $1,000.00 just for using my BIN option!!!

If you are the lucky winner, I will also need a $1,000.00 deposit on Pay-Pal within 48 hrs. The remain cost of the vehicle can be paid with either a Bank Draft or Money Order. You can also come with cash if you are picking her up and driving her home. Awesome time of the year for a "top down" trip on the highway!

If you are pre-paying in advance, then I will need sufficient time to clear your choice of payment, before the car can leave. NO PAY PAL please for final payment.

I pride myself in being an honest, friendly seller with very good communication skills. I do my best to answer all questions in a timely manner and remember, there are NO stupid questions. The more you ask the more you will know about this Classic Z-3 and the more you will realize that you should purchase her!!

If you are shipping this vehicle, I will be happy to do what I can, to help you in this process. Please be aware that you are fully responsible for obtaining any documentation that is required for this car to cross the border, registering and insuring this vehicle once you get it home. Again, I will be happy to work with you and help in any way I can.

Last but not least. Please don't be concerned about the date stamp on the pictures. Yes the pictures were taken in 2009, but in NO WAY is the Z-3 any different today then it was then. Only the mileage has changed. I only drove it apprx. 2,000 miles a year. My drive back from Boston was just over 2,000 miles.

I sincerely apologies if I have made any errors in my write up. I am being completely honest and up front about this Z-3 and tried to describe it as accurately as possible. If you read something that doesn't make sense, then please don't hesitate to bring it to my attention! THANKS!

Thanks for reading and all the BEST in your search!

NHTSA gives okay for three automakers to skirt tire-related recalls

Thu, 25 Jul 2013

BMW, Honda, and Mercedes-Benz are all going to avoid small recalls, after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued petitions for "findings of inconsequential noncompliance" to the three manufacturers, according to Tire Business. Basically, the petitions allow the brands to avoid recalls for some very, very minor issues.
BMW had tire placards on 364 X6 M CUVs that stated the car could only handle four passengers, when in reality it had room for three in the back. Actual plausibility of fitting three real humans in the slope-roofed Bimmer aside, the Munich-based manufacturer argued it was inconsequential, as the placards were correct regardless of the number of passengers.
Honda's case focused on 212 2011 and 2012 Acura TSX sedans equipped with 18-inch wheels. The TPMS systems on these cars were set for 17-inch wheels, rather than the larger hoops, but even with the lower settings, the tires maintain adequate load capacity.

Mercedes and VW battling Uber and Apple to spend billions on Nokia mapping division

Tue, May 12 2015

Whether for autonomous driving or simply better navigation, digital mapping is closely linked with the future of motoring. The sale of a major player in that industry is spurring a showdown between automotive behemoths and tech giants, and it's a fascinating battle to watch unfold. Nokia is selling its Here mapping division, and while the company might not have the name recognition of Google, it controls about 70 percent of the auto market. The business is valued at $785 million, according to Reuters, but is likely to sell for significantly more. Case in point: Uber reportedly submitted a $3 billion bid. Apple has also been rumored to be among those interested in purchasing Here. A trio of German automotive heavyweights is mounting a challenge to Silicon Valley, though. According to Reuters speaking to two unnamed insiders, Daimler, BMW, and Audi are teaming up to submit a joint bid for an undisclosed sum. They're worried that if Here falls under the control of tech companies, then automakers might have limited availability to these vital maps in the future. Nokia bought Here for $8.1 billion in 2007, according to Reuters. The company operates a fleet of vehicles with cameras and LIDAR that drive around the world to create high-definition maps. It also generates even more information by using the GPS data from shipping and trucking companies.
