Bmw Z3 2.8 L Liter Manual Stick Shift Transmission Convertible 90,000 Miles! on 2040-cars
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! On Aug-02-14 at 08:05:29 PDT, seller added the following information:

Recharge Wrap-up: BMW tests AdBlue pumps, Drivr is a Tesla taxi service
Thu, Jan 22 2015BMW is testing AdBlue pumps in Germany. AdBlue fluid is used to remove NOx from diesel exhaust, and it is stored in its own tank within the vehicle. Filling AdBlue is easy enough for drivers to do it themselves, and with the proliferation of diesel vehicles in Europe, a pump filling system could make more sense than using the current hand-held containers. BMW is testing AdBlue pumps at three fueling stations in Munich and Berlin to help develop further AdBlue dispenser technology. Read more at Green Car Congress. Drivr Green Personal Transportation is a Tesla taxi service in Cincinnati. Two former employees of Tesla Motors founded the startup, which bills itself alongside ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft. Customers book a ride online, and are picked up by a Tesla Model S. The ride costs $2.50 per mile with a $15 minimum. Drivr currently operates three cars with seven drivers, with plans to lease another 10 Teslas and employ up to 30 drivers. The service will also be expanding to Denver soon, according to the website. Learn more at the Drivr website, or read more at Clean Technica. Ford is opening a research and development facility in Silicon Valley. The Ford Research & Innovation Center, which will be located less than three miles from Tesla Motors headquarters in Palo Alto, California, is expected to be one of the automotive industry's largest R&D facilities. "We're driving to be both a product and a mobility company, and ultimately to change the way the world moves," says Ford CEO Mark Fields. Read more at Automotive News. Law firms advising Fisker Automotive have been denied a $2.50-million fee enhancement in the car company's bankruptcy. Brown Rudnick LLP and Saul Ewing LLP were denied the extra fees, as a Delaware bankruptcy judge ruled there is "no evidence" that the firms provided anything more than what they originally expected. In denying the fee enhancement, the judge cited a "very high bar" for such awards. Read more at Law360.

2015 BMW i8: Autoblog Technology of the Year finalist
Wed, 19 Nov 2014
Traditionally, nominations for the Autoblog Technology of the Year award are earned for specific developments - a new-think powertrain, a uniquely developed material, a groundbreaking smartphone app, or what have you. In the case of BMW's marvelous i8, it so bristles with novel applied sciences and fresh features that we broke with tradition and nominated the entire car.
We just couldn't help ourselves. Oh, we could've focused on the i8's carbon-fiber monocoque, or its well-resolved plug-in-hybrid powertrain that incorporates a tiny 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine and an electric motor, or its seamless through-the-road all-wheel drive. This is a car that will even have frickin' laser beams for headlights - at least it will for our friends in Europe (and it will in the US, should our legislators ever catch up).
BMW shows up-armored X5 concept and we can't get near it
Wed, 11 Sep 2013BMW has brought a slightly different concept vehicle to the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. Rather than something that foreshadows a future product or a new design direction, the Munich-based manufacturer has brought an X5 that's designed to be shot at. It's called the Concept X5 Security Plus. The Concept X5 name is a bit misleading, though. It's based on the 2014 X5, while BMW already builds an armored CUV, called the X5 Security. The concept tag has to do with the "Security Plus" part.
Engineered to be compliant with VR6 security standards - the current X5 Security is for VR4 standards - the Concept X5 will quite happily shrug off direct attacks from an AK-47. Thanks to sealed joints, high-strength steel moldings, high-performance steel body panels and special, polycarbonate-coated security glass, Kalashnikov's finest, whether used as a firearm or as a melee weapon, would be useless against this X5.
Built alongside the standard X5 in BMW's Spartanburg, SC factory, the X5 is shipped to a BMW facility in Toluca, Mexico for installation of the armor and security features. The company claims this delivers a more thoroughly engineered protective solution than aftermarket retrofitting.
