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:

BMW teases 2 Series Coupe ahead of October 25 debut
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Although it was finally just confirmed that the last of the BMW 1 Series coupes and convertibles went out of production months ago, we won't have to wait very long to see this model's replacement, the all-new 2 Series. BMW released a teaser video for its new coupe today and also announced that the 2 Series will officially debut on October 25.
We may still have to wait until the Detroit Auto Show to see it up close and in person, even though both the Los Angeles Auto Show and Tokyo Motor Show are nearly upon us. Either way, it's not clear when the 2 Series will roll into dealerships. Considering we've already seen the coupe sitting out mostly undisguised for a photo shoot, there really isn't much to see in terms of styling of the car in this sun-drenched, dirt-slinging teaser. BMW does say that this is the first trailer ahead of the 2 Series' unveiling, so there are likely to be more to follow the video seen below.
BMW M models will stay rear-wheel drive as long as possible
Thu, Feb 25 2016Don't expect BMW's M cars to go soft any time soon. Carsten Pries, the division's head of product management, wants to focus on at least six cylinders and rear-wheel drive for as long as possible. Pries sees the combination of six (or more) cylinders and rear-wheel drive as defining features of the division. "These are cars that attract new people to the M brand and that is very important," he said to Motoring. He doesn't think it's time to deviate from that strategy yet. "I hope not, because six is part of our DNA. Not only the power, but that hallmark sound that we have." We certainly like Pries' sentiment, but the division's current lineup shows a willingness to compromise the purely rear-wheel drive focus when necessary. For example, the latest X5 M and X6 M already feature all-wheel drive systems, which can send 100 percent of the power to the back at times. Spy shots and rumors heavily suggest a similar option for the next-generation M5, too. The latest M4 GTS proves BMW knows how to tune a fantastic sounding six-cylinder, but there's no reason a well engineered four-cylinder model couldn't be great. The original M3 relied on one to speed around, and it became a performance icon of its period. Pries even admitted in 2014 that a new four-cylinder M vehicle could happen eventually. For now, he isn't ready to introduce a new four-pot model. Pries admits that the division's strategy might need to change someday, but he still expects to create M-badged models. "If the framework changes in the future, we have to look then at what we can do in terms of a proper or decent M offer," he said to Motoring. Related Video:
Tesla only 8th greenest automaker, BMW is best, says Newsweek
Sat, Jun 13 2015We imagine some readers will be surprised by this. Newsweek has just put out its rankings for the top "green" companies in the world, and while Tesla Motors chief Elon Musk can crow about how green his electric vehicles are, the company as a whole apparently falls behind some traditional automakers. Quite a few of them, actually. In Newsweek's Global 500 list of the greenest 500 largest publicly-traded companies in the world, BMW ranked best among automakers at Number 26. Not surprisingly, Toyota was close behind at 35, while Nissan came in at 152. What's a little more puzzling is that Tesla fell behind Ford (178), and General Motors (289). That's a lot of pickups versus a few Model S EVs. Go figure. Then came Hyundai (306) and Honda (316), which are a little more palatable. Tesla? It came in at 431. Newsweek's measurement standards include eight categories that include a lot of verbiage and involve things like energy productivity (which is defined as revenue in US dollars divided by total energy consumption), greenhouse-gas emissions productivity (revenue divided by GHG emissions), water usage, waste levels and something called "green revenue" (revenue derived from products that "contribute positively" to the environment). Newsweek says that its results are reproducable by a third party. Take a look at the list here and find the details on how the numbers are compiled here.
