This is a beautiful 1998 BMW Z3 with only 90,256 miles! It's always been garaged & looks & runs great! It's in great shape & ready to drive from LA to NYC! I believe in providing as much information as possible to save everyone time. The Good! 1) It has clean & clear California title (Certificate of Ownership) in my name. 2) I also have a CarFax in hand & have attached it below. CarFax is indicating it's worth $1,770 above retail Blue Book! 3) Passed smog within last 90 days so smog not required if sold by end of August. 4) Car runs great! It's a big 2.8L, 189 Horsepower, 6 cylinder engine! 5) It has a 5-speed manual transmission & power convertible top! 6) Tires are in great shape with a lot of miles left. 7) It has a mesh screen between the seats to keep backdraft out. 8) I have a brand new, OEM BMW top for it with the built-in rear window. 9) Handling is awesome! I wonder what the Power to Weight ratio is on this car because it handles so well! The Not So Good! 1) The plastic rear window is missing. The window stitching came out & eventually the entire plastic rear window simply fell out. Therefore I got a new BMW top for it. (see #8 above) However since the roof is in such good shape I would first think of having an upholstery shop stitch in a new rear window & save the new roof/window for later 2) The radio antenna is broken so radio reception is poor. 3) The 3rd brake light fell off & is inside the trunk but works. The bezel didn't break off & is still on on the trunk lid. Only the LED light bar on the inside of the trunk fell off. 4) The passenger door requires a push/pull to open. Not a big issue but requires to lift the handle, push in & then pull out to open. 5) There are 2 driving lights located below the bumper. The drivers' side isn't working. I'm not sure if it's wiring or the bulb. 6) Time for an oil change I've researched all recently sold Z3's on ebay (actual sold prices, no listed) & have priced this car reserve well below those. I want it sold, not relisted. Questons? I check e-mail daily before/after work. Need additional pix of something? Let me know! Shipping? Nope, I'm not shipping her anywhere. But, if you fly into LAX I'll pick you up! Thank you! On Aug-02-14 at 08:05:29 PDT, seller added the following information:

What does the open patents deal mean for Tesla ... and BMW?
Sat, Jun 14 2014Gift to the world or trade bait? Tesla Motors announced this week it would open its patents for other automakers to use. That has analysts guessing whether the California-based electric-vehicle maker is looking to either swap trade secrets with other automakers or to expand the proverbial pie that represents the plug-in vehicle market. For its part, Tesla says the answer is B. BMW, which is establishing its i sub-brand of plug-in vehicles, would be a natural collaborator with Tesla, Forbes says. In fact, executives from the two companies met in Europe this week. Details were not released, but a BMW spokesman said, "Both companies are strongly committed to the success of electromobility and discussed how to further strengthen the development of electromobility on an international level." While Tesla brings battery technology to the table, BMW offers its carbon-fiber advancements that lighten vehicle-body weight. Those advancements are key to range-extending efforts and could do wonders for Tesla on its journey to help spur technology for the sake of getting more of the general public to accept plug-in technology as a viable first-car option. Then again, Forbes says Tesla, whose investors include Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler and Toyota, may be keeping its best technologies to itself by not patenting certain advancements at all. What's in Tesla's patent pool? uAutoInsurance analyzed Tesla's 249 patents and found that 104 of them related to battery technology, while 28 pertained to recharging activity, which wasn't surprising (about a quarter of those 249 patents couldn't readily be categorized). Tesla also has nine patents related to sunroof technology. The company is based in California, after all.

BMW restores classic Mini as it revives production in Netherlands
Wed, 13 Nov 2013Mini will be kicking off production in the Netherlands, a country that hasn't built a Mini-badged machine since 1966. In honor of this event, BMW Group Classic, the team responsible for all the cars in the BMW Museum, as well as being a spare parts and restoration company in its own right, revived a classic 1959 Austin Seven. That particular car, number 983, was one of the first Minis to be built in the Netherlands.
The Netherlands' JJ Molenaar's Car Companies built 4,000 Austin Sevens and Morris Mini-Minors between 1959 and 1966, although we imagine Dutch Mini production will be much bigger when it starts up again in summer 2014. A five-person team from VDL Nedcar, the group handling production of new Minis, took to the job of restoring the diminutive British car from nose to tail.
The 34-horsepower engine and the transmission were both completely rebuilt, while the door panels were redone by hand. Help from the Mini community aided the VDL Nedcar team in finding authentic replicas or original parts where possible. All told, the new classic Mini is a striking example of what a good restoration can do to a car. The Seven was repainted in its original Farina Gray, adding to the car's sense of authenticity.
