Up for grabs is a 1997 BMW Z3 Roadster with the 2.8L inline six cylinder matched with the 5 speed manual transmission creating a very desirable combination. It also has the dark blue top and chrome engine vents from the factory making this car hard to find. In my 5 years of driving it i have only seen one other car with these specs. The car runs a drives great, really fun to drive and lots of power. It has 18in wheels and will have new tires at the time of sale. It also has an aftermarket exhaust, it is missing the tips however. There is an aftermarket pioneer stereo installed along with a 10in kenwood sub custom mounted in between the seats (see pics). Power seats and windows work, The AC is a little finicky, last time i used it it took awhile to come on but when it does it blows very cold air. Car does need a little TLC that I have been unable to give it. This car would make a great daily driver just to run around in, runs great as it sits, or if someone wanted to take the time to fix it up nice it would be a very flashy car. I am placing the reserve about $1000 below blue book which will get you well on the way to making this car pristine once again.


The bad list:
Seams on driver seat have come apart(see pics) 
leather on dash is peeling back(see pics)
There are some paint flaws I believe from when the car was painted before I owned it
there is a small dent on the drivers side right behind the wheel (see pics)
It needs a MAS, runs just fine without but it does trip the check engine light
the O2 sensor behind the cat is also missing (not sure how that happened) 
The back widow seam is separated a little on the bottom (other than that the top is in good shape)
there is a small crack in the front bumper (see pics)

Please contact me with any question you might have, I will get back to you as soon as humanly possible
I do reserve the right to end the auction early as the car is listed locally

Thank you and good luck bidding

BMW X4 hatches its fastback shape in Shanghai

Fri, 19 Apr 2013

The day has finally come for BMW to pull the covers off its X4 Concept at the Shanghai Motor Show. The machine brings few surprises - we've already seen an official image gallery from the German automaker, so its exterior shape was well known - but at least now we get to see it with our own eyes, and with the lenses of our very own cameras.
You can clearly see the fastback roofline in our high-res image gallery above, along with the jacked-up stance that allows BMW to call this machine a Sports Activity Vehicle, which basically means "Crossover" to our friends in Munich. We've seen similar vehicle shapes before, most notably in the form of the BMW X6, but also as far back as the 1980s from the likes of AMC.
We fully expect the transition from concept to production to be pretty seamless, so what we see here is, for the most part, what we'll see on the showroom floor in 2014. Feel free to peruse the press release below, but first, be sure to browse through our live images from Shanghai and let us know what you think.

BMW revisits its 8 Series

Thu, 04 Jul 2013

So why would BMW choose July 2 to release a retrospective on the 8 Series? Could it have something to do with the recent unveiling of the Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe concept, another sleek, B-pillarless V12 two-door, at this year's Villa d'Este? We have no idea, but the timing is likely coincidental.
This three-minute look at the 8 Series talks to Niels Hamann, who was smitten with the long-hooded coupe when it appeared in 1989 and finally bought one in 2004. Hamann also happens to be a project manager at BMW, and that came in handy when he wrote a book detailing every aspect of what was BMW's flagship for ten years but to the chagrin of many only managed one generation.
While we wait for the next clue about the Gran Lusso - 8 Series connection, check out the video below.

Recharge Wrap-up: VW exec predicts EVs with 375-mile range

Wed, Oct 8 2014

Volkswagen says EV ranges over 300 miles aren't too far in the future. Plug-in hybrids are merely a bridge to all-electric mobility becoming more practical for people who need to travel longer distances, according to Dr. Heinz-Jakob Neusser, Volkswagen's head of powertrain development. Energy density is increasing rapidly in new batteries. Speaking about the e-Golf, Neusser says, "I expect the next generation in 2015-17 will increase to around 300 km [186 miles] and the following step will be around 500-600 km [310-372 miles]." Neusser also says he believes that charging infrastructure will improve to catch up with these more advanced batteries. Read more at Motoring. BMW is offering higher incentives for the all-electric i3 than the range-extended version. More buyers are opting for the i3 REx, with its 78 extra miles of range. So, to move the standard i3 (which is already cheaper), BMW is offering $2,000 in incentives for October - double what is offered for the i3 REx. The added incentives help close the price gap between the BMW and other EVs with similar ranges. The deals won't last long, though. According to New Jersey BMW salesman Manny Antunes, BMW's current incentives are "as aggressive as they're going to get" for a while. Read more at Green Car Reports. Honda is changing its research and development process for all cars after a series of Fit Hybrid recalls. The hybrid version, which makes up more than half of all Fit sales in Japan, was the subject of four recalls within nine months. In response, Honda will change the way it develops cars worldwide, with one extra "gate" to pass in the process. Honda will do prototype testing earlier in the research process to see how separately developed components work together before moving onto the car's development phase. It will add time and cost to making cars, but Honda hopes it will help prevent problems - like those that come with a flurry of recalls - down the road. Read more at Automotive News.
