Bmw Z3 2.8 L Liter Manual Stick Shift Transmission Convertible 90,000 Miles! on 2040-cars

Year:1998 Mileage:90256
Location:

United States

United States

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!

BMW Concept 4 Series Coupe proves that 3-2=4

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

BMW may be calling this 4 Series Coupe a concept, but take a long, hard look - this will be the car that replaces the 3 Series Coupe in the automaker's lineup. Don't let that number change trip you up. This car will have all the basic elements of what makes a 3 Series coupe so popular, and while this isn't technically the production model (there are still come conceptual elements and we don't have powertrain details), it's pretty much what we can look forward to seeing out on the road very soon. And honestly, the naming strategy isn't that weird (though it's still plenty odd) - BMW will be using even numbers for all its coupes and convertibles moving forward. 1 Series, meet 2 Series. And when a 3 Series loses two doors, it becomes a 4 Series.
Dimensionally, the new 4 Series coupe is 1.7-inches wider, half an inch shorter in overall height, and rides on a 2.0-inch longer wheelbase. It's a really pretty thing, with bold, aggressive body sculpting up front, and a rear deck that's sort of like a downsized version of the larger 6 Series two-door. It's all very handsome, but we'll reserve final judgment until we see the production version with its likely smaller wheels and possibly toned-down visuals.
We don't yet have powertrain details, but we fully expect the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and 3.0-liter turbo-six to carry over in 328i 428i and 435i guise. Though remember, other 3.0-liter models in BMW's range use 40i designation, so we could possibly be looking at a 440i Coupe, instead. We won't know until the production car officially bows later this year.

BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe gets Bang & Olufsen Individual edition [w/video]

Tue, 10 Jun 2014

Not content with a bit part on the options sheet, high-end sound gets a starring role on the BMW Individual 6 Series Gran Coupe Bang & Olufsen Edition. There's no technical difference between the 1,200-watt, 16-speaker High End Surround Sound System in this run of 6 Series Gran Coupes and the $3,700 system you can order as an option on the standard Gran Coupe, but the special edition gets brushed black aluminum finish speaker grilles, a first for the range.
The packages and colors are what set these apart, exteriors available in either Brilliant White Metallic or Dark Graphite II Metallic, interiors possible in either black or Opal White and black. You'll also get upgrades like the Cold Weather, M Sport Edition Packages on the non-M car, the Competition Package and Executive Package on the M, plus piano black wood trim, special floor mats and lots of B&O badging.
This isn't just a special edition, it's a limited edition, with BMW saying only 100 will be produced. Prices start at $116,240 for the 650i B&O Edition and top out at $152,423 for the M6 B&O Edition. There's a press release below with more details, and we've included a video on the stereo itself to help understand why it might deserve a car named after it.

BMW M3 driving off cliff is a chilling PSA

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

We're a little shocked that the unnamed owner of this cliff-diving E46 BMW M3 would upload the in-car footage of his accident to YouTube. Not only that, he uploaded two videos: raw footage of his roll down the cliff (it looks like somewhere in the Southwest, maybe Arizona) and a tribute video for his BMW that suffered the most severe consequences of understeer. Not only does uploading the videos leave him wide open for judgment by fellow enthusiasts (just read the YouTube comments), but we imagine if the police and his insurance company somehow don't know about the incident already, they will shortly. Scroll below to view for yourself.
The raw footage shows the sort of driving that led to the M3's violent tumble, and it serves as a good public service announcement reminder for everyone out there: Just like the Spengler's streams, double yellow lines aren't meant to be crossed. Also, hard driving is one thing, but hammering on public roads at speeds clearly above your skill levels as a driver is not only a recipe for legal trouble, it's a script for ruining your car at the very least, if not your life.
