The car has 51,000 miles and a long life ahead of it. There are a few isolated cosmetic damages; the previous owner scuffed the front right of the bumper on a curb, but it is now better-protected by metal skid plates I installed on the bottom of the bumper. The paint is in good condition--no dents or major scratches aside from the bumper--though there are minor imperfections. The interior is in great condition overall, especially the leather throughout, except for some scratches on the driver's side door sill. I have always driven and treated the car with great care for its longevity: minimal engine load until both oil and coolant are fully warmed up (which takes longer with this car than many), carefully avoid potholes and rough roads, used a sun shade when parked to avoid UV damage to the interior, personally cleaned and conditioned the leather, etc etc... The car drives incredibly. Even before modifications, this was one of BMW's fastest and lightest production cars. With the stage-2 supercharger kit, it attains supercar-like performance and high overall refinement for an unbelievable value (at least now that I've spent the money and time tuning the supercharger for you!). Maintenance is completely up to date with a full records history--most importantly, the expensive Inspection II service has been recently performed, which includes a painstaking manual valve adjustment. I personally found the best BMW dealer tech on the peninsula and gave him a cash tip to ensure his work during this important job was of utmost quality. If you buy a lower-milage Z4 M, you'll be looking at well over $2,000 in the near future for this service. Test drives can only be offered to serious buyers. This car is extremely powerful, and while safe and capable (side air bags, stability & traction control, astounding brakes), it needs to be treated with respect. Headline features / improvements: - ESS VT2-500 Supercharger Kit--"stage 2", including a large and extremely effective intercooler. Rated 500 BHP and dyno-tested at corresponding RWHP. Cost over $15,000 with professional installation, testing, and tuning. - High-tech digital gauge system integrated behind the rear-view mirror glass. Invisible with the car off, seen as an overlay on the image in the mirror when the car is running. Air/Fuel ratio and Boost gauges are present on the left and right, as is a GPS-assisted Radar/Laser/Red Light Camera detector. Over $3,500 to purchase and install. I am going to miss this on my new car! This is a really unique feature, but I don't have photos right now (check out radar-mirror.com) - BMW European exhaust manifold. improves performance beyond the standard supercharger kit, and produces a stunning exhaust note. Carefully installed personally (an entire day's work). Over $1,000 in parts. - LoJack Vehicle Recovery system. - Adjustable camber plates in front and lower suspension arms in the rear from the best suspension part manufacturers available for the Z4M. - Full set of expanded-width Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires (considered by many to be the best performance tires available). Plenty of tread left (more than 50%). - Brand new front brakes, less than 1,000 miles on them. The front brakes are about 4x more expensive than the rear, and lasted the whole life of the car, so they will not have to be redone until after 100,000 miles. - High quality window tint on the side and rear glass (no bubbles, looks stock but keeps the heat out! - Numerous dealership-installed replacements, including a new VANOS system (!!! normally $5k+ replacement and the major problem area with factory S54), BMW OEM windshield (original cracked by a rock), navigation system screen, interior trim pieces, and shift knob. - Extensive, detailed service history and full original manual (leather binder). - Tons of extras like BMW perfect-fit sun visor, touch up paint (haven't needed to use it yet), short shift kit, new set of spark plugs (though the currently installed ones will last at least 30k more), the original intake parts from before the supercharger and original US exhaust headers, etc. - Bavarian Soundwerks Speaker Upgrade - Navigation system with Bluetooth connectivity (part of the premium package) - Frequent changes of all fluids, including half the factory required milage on engine oil; supercharger oil, differential and transmission oil, brake fluid. Always top-tier fuel manufacturers. - Much, much more! More details on the powertrain and driving characteristics: - Supercharger is a centrifugal type, basically a belt-and-gear-driven turbocharger compressor wheel. Maximum boost is about 7-8PSI, which builds roughly linearly throughout the RPM band. - In addition to a large intercooler, the oil cooler is tripled in size and keeps oil temperatures slightly lower than stock, even under load. - The S54 motor is a 3.2L inline-6 with a 7,800RPM redline; at the time of its launch it had the highest naturally aspirated output per liter (333HP from 3.2L) of any BMW engine in history, and remains one of very few engines to break 100HP / Liter without forced induction. - The motor's natural tendency to make the greatest power at higher RPM combines with the centrifugal supercharger's own boost profile to produce a truly exceptional surge of power from 5,000RPM-7,500RPM. - S54's have individual throttle valves directly in front of the intake valves for each cylinder, which provides amazing throttle response. Combined with the always-on supercharger that has boost at the ready while driving, at 2,000RPM or above the response is absolutely immediate.

Beverly Hills road rage incident ends with BMW driver ramming bicyclist
Fri, 26 Apr 2013An instance of road rage turned mortally dangerous in Beverly Hills, CA, recently, when an incident between a cyclist and a BMW driver took a scary turn in front of a rolling security camera.
LA Weekly reports that the person on the bicycle and the driver of the 2008 BMW 328i in the video had some kind of altercation, resulting in the cyclist punching the driver. The driver then followed the biker to an alley on the 9000 block of Wilshire Blvd and, according to the Beverly Hills Police Department, "Intentionally rammed the bicyclist with his vehicle pinning him to a metal rolling trash bin."
That the act was intentional is clearly evident in the video footage below, captured on a security camera. Police have published the video in the hopes of tracking down the driver, who is said to be in his mid-30s with dark hair, dark eyes and a thin build. BMW owners across the country can thank him - for reinforcing certain stereotypes - by helping to turn him in. Do your part, Bimmer Nation.
2023 CES Editors' Picks
Mon, Jan 9 2023Over the past few years, it has become more and more clear that the Consumer Electronics Show is a car show. And this year that reality is more clear than ever. Not only did established automakers show off seriously important vehicles, but a traditional electronics company brought a car that gives an idea of its intents (with the help of establishment car company). With so many car reveals, we had to rank our favorites. Our picks for this show are entirely electric. Or at least, they are on paper, since many are concepts. Considering the name of the show, it would be a little strange if they weren't. In fact, not only are many of our favorites concepts, they all are save for one. See how they shook out below. VW ID7 camo View 28 Photos 5. Volkswagen ID.7 "The ID.7 definitely got lost in the crowd at CES. That it was camouflaged definitely didn't help, even if that camo was electroluminescent (BMW trumped it big time with its color-changing Dee). Nevertheless, this is a close-to-production hatchback-ed sedan, not unlike today's Arteon, with an extra-long wheelbase courtesy its EV architecture. It should be a solid answer to the Tesla Model 3 and Hyundai Ioniq 6, and even if people obviously prefer SUVs now, VW says there is still a market for sedans. I know I'd probably prefer one." –Senior Editor, West Coast and Reviews, James Riswick Peugeot Inception concept View 12 Photos 4. Peugeot Inception "It's not often that show debuts surprise us. While Peugeot teased the Inception ahead of CES, its unveiling seemed almost incidental. But just look at this thing; it's like an electric French Mustang with someplace important to be. I don't buy into the stupid 'It's not a wheel!' thing that Peugeot CEO Linda Jackson described as providing a video-game-like drive experience, but that bit of silliness aside, this is a really promising design study. Give us more of these and fewer tall boxes, please." –Associate Editor Byron Hurd Afeela prototype from Sony Honda Mobility View 11 Photos 3. Afeela by Sony Honda “Ever since Sony showed off an impressively put-together concept car at CES a few years ago, IÂ’ve been anticipating the companyÂ’s next move. Apparently, that next move is “Afeela.” No, I donÂ’t love the name. The specs from SonyÂ’s original concept car give me hope that this prototype sportback (itÂ’s a hatchback!) will be fun to drive, though.
