DESCRIPTION:

Up for sale is my beloved BMW Z3. Mechanically it's a gem. As I will describe every detail below:

- Sporty, glossy yellow (I think it's called "Dakar Yellow").
- Clean title.
- Manual 5-speed stick shift (yeah!).
- 6-cyl 2.8L engine. This little car with such a big engine I can assure you, it FLIES.
- Brand sparkling new tires (less than 100 miles on them, just spent $400 on tires). Front: Accelera 225/50/16. Rear: Kumho ecsta Asx 245/50/16 (a little wider than the 225's, for better grip and sporty look). Black rims all around, very classy.

- No leaks whatsoever, no strange noises, no weird transmission gear changes.
- No scratches at all in the exterior, no scratches at all in the interior.
- No paintwork needed: looks shiny and smooth all-over.
- Passed smog 5 days ago: you are good for the next 2 years.
- Current registration up-to-date. Tags till APR 2014.
- Manual roof top.
- 106K miles. Runs like new, very strong and fast. I babied this car and always maintained it very well. Any issue it would have I'd take it to the shop immediately.
- Heating seats. This is a great feature, they REALLY get hot. Perfect in winter times.
- Has never been involved in an accident.
- CD player with USB for iPod, computer or mp3.

Every time I take the car out, I get compliments from other drivers. It's a real pleasure to drive it around. This is a luxurious car for a very, very good price. It got famous after James Bond 007's Golden Eye movie. It's Bond's car!

ISSUES:

EVERY car from '98 will have something to mention, but not everybody will mention them. The important thing is to be sincere with the buyer and say everything that you can think of. Way better this way than when you read "mint, no problems at all, everything 100% perfect, as new!" and they are hiding something. As I said, mechanically IS AS BRAND NEW, and the issues that I will list here are completely insignificant, but as I said, since you are not looking at the car personally I rather describe it as best as possible.

- AC does not work. It's a convertible, so I didn't think I would ever use it, that's why I never fixed it (about $200 part is needed, already quoted by the mechanic). In winter I never used it, of course. And in summer I take out the top, so I didn't use it either.

- Power mirrors are not working at the moment. I set them up manually and they work fine. I believe it's probably a fuse which is about $10. It could be something else, but I'm sure it's not more than a $50-$100 fix needed.

And that's it. With about 200-300 dollars you'll leave it AS NEW, including the brand new tires on it. Always changed oil with engine cleanser every 3000 mi, and I always used 91 premium gas.

WHY AM I SELLING IT:

ONLY reason for selling it is that I bought a 7-person mini-van, since I work moving big equipment and I can't afford to have two cars. Now I need the van more than this one. This car is my every-day drive and if I wouldn't have the minivan I'd never sell it. YOU ARE NOT BUYING SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROBLEMS, as I know that is something people are afraid of when they buy used cars.

PRICE:

Bidding starts at $7900 with buy it now option of $9400. I see EVERY single Z3 in eBay go for at least $10.000 with the 1.9L engine and without this sporty, classy and luxurious Dakar Yellow color. I believe this is an excellent deal.

Location: Los Angeles, California.
Payment: PayPal or cash.

REMEMBER:

- This is a privately owned car that I've been driving for the past 4 years. Nobody knows the car better than me. I'm not a dealer that resells cars that never tried before.

- Remember that when you place a bid in eBay the price you put is the maximum you are willing to pay for it and eBay will help you pay the minimum automatically. Example: If the bid is at $8500 and you bid $9200, you will not pay $9200 instantly. You will pay $8510. If later on somebody else bids $8700, then eBay will automatically bid for you $8710 (and so on up to the $9200 you placed as your maximum bid). That means that you don't need to wait till last minute to bid (avoiding the typical "oops! forgot to bid because the oven was overcooking my dinner right at that moment!")

Payment: PayPal or cash.

Preserving automotive history costs big bucks

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.

Formula Drift kicks off 11th season on Streets of Long Beach

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

The 2014 Formula Drift series kicked off last weekend in Long Beach, and saw Chris Forsberg, who you'll recall went mad and drifted around a warehouse in an Infiniti M, take the title behind the wheel of his Hankook Tire Nissan 370Z (shown above).
Forsberg really ran away with the first round of competition, outscoring his closest opponent, second-place finisher Kenneth Moen and his Bridges Racing Nissan 240SX, by 20 points. Third place was 2013 championship winner Michael Essa and his Yokohama BMW M3, 30.5 points behind Forsberg.
In the manufacturers' title, Nissan took an early lead with 122 points, which isn't a huge surprise considering five of the top ten drifters were piloting either a Z or a product of the brand's S platform. Ford, which had two drivers (Justin Pawlak and Vaughn Gittin, Jr.) in the top ten, took home second place, while BMW is currently third in the manufacturers' standings.

BMW 1 Series GT morphs into production-spec 225i Active Tourer

Mon, 16 Dec 2013

Based on the effort - and money - BMW is spending to break off the coupes and convertibles in its lineup as even-numbered models (like the new 2 Series and 4 Series), we figured the production version of the 2012 Concept Active Tourer was a lock to wear the 1 Series GT name. These spy shots paint a different picture, however, as they show the car seemingly in full showroom-ready trim during a photo shoot, wearing the 225i name indicating that it will be in the 2 Series family.
While it's still very possible that this badging is the final bit of trickery for disguising the front-wheel-drive 1 Series GT, the hatchback itself appears to be the real deal. Aside from new fascias, a smaller grille and slightly different lights, the styling of this "225i" stayed pretty true to the Concept Active Tourer. Thanks to our long-lensed photographer, we also get a brief glimpse inside the hatchback, which reveals a two-tiered instrument panel layout including the free-standing navigation display that is similar to the concept car.
Regardless of what name this new model will wear, expect it to be unveiled at next year's Geneva Motor Show in March before arriving in the US sometime in 2015.
