Spring, Texas, United States
|
Selling my 2008 Z4 roadster. I
did a lot of homework on this car before buying it and was planning on keeping it much longer but I am moving from The Woodlands, TX to NYC and will
need a car I can drive all year round in that environment. The SI model has the more powerful 255hp HO motor, is very
light, and handles very well. I chose this car as I have a 94mi round trip commute and
wanted a fun, reliable car that got good gas mileage. This car has delivered: a very reliable vehicle
that gets 28+mpg on the highway (this car replaced an Audi S4 that averaged mid-teen
mpg). The Good: ·
Certified Pre-Owned BMW (transferrable) with
warranty that expires at the earlier of 100,000mi or 4/8/2014 = piece of mind ·
Car spent the first half of its life in Alabama
and is now in Texas. Has been a southern
car its entire life. ·
Difficult to find combination: o
M heated black leather sport seats o
Premium Package (power top, power seats, rain sensing wipers, BMW
Assist, Bluetooth, Speech recognition, Auto-dimming mirrors, Auto climate
control, Xenon lights w/ auto leveling) o
Sport Package (Sport suspension, two piece alloy
wheels, Dynamic Driving Control) o
6 speed manual transmission ·
Other options: o
Remote entry o
Cruise control o
Power mirrors o
Leather sport multi-function steering wheel o
THX sound system w/ Auxiliary input o Fog lights · High end ceramic window tint · The last model year of the naturally aspirated
in-line 6 engine in the Z4 that has been a reliable BMW workhorse for years ·
Good gas mileage (great gas mileage when you
consider performance of the car). ·
45 yr old, professional, non-smoker, parent that
has meticulously maintained the car · Oil changed with synthetic every 7,000 miles. Original battery replaced this spring. ·
Car is generally in great condition, looks and
feels very solid all around. ·
Convertible top is only two years old (see
below). Issues: ·
In March of this year, a newly minted driver
(just got his license) backed into the left rear of the car in downtown
Houston. o
No structural damage underneath, only scratched
and dented the rear quarter. o
Damaged part was replaced by a new BMW brand OEM
panel. No filler or fixing was done on
the quarter…just bolted a new one on and painted to match. Work was performed at the best shop in the
area & I have all receipts. ·
Typical rock chips/wear on the front of the car
consistent with the mileage on the car – paintwork on the rest of the car is
excellent. ·
Right front wheel has a small stain on the lip of the
wheel. No curb rash on any of the wheels. ·
Convertible top was replaced under warranty soon
after I bought the car. The top was
wearing in one spot when retracted. Was
not a significant issue (other than an aesthetic rub mark) but it was under
warranty and the dealer offered to install a brand new top so I took them up on it. Top has performed flawlessly since then. · Cup holder also replaced under warranty shortly after I bought the car. Warranty work was largely me being very particular about the car. |

Why BMWs are cheaper than Hyundais in Korea
Sat, 18 May 2013Bloomberg reports shifting tariff regulations have upended the traditional automotive pecking order in Korea. Thanks to cheaper import taxes, foreign brands have seen market share jump from 28 percent to 41 percent over the last two years. BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi have all capitalized on the shift, with domestics like Hyundai and Kia suffering at the hands of their German rivals.
Taxes on European imports have fallen from 8 percent in 2011 to just 3.2 percent today. Over the next few years, tariffs will all but be eliminated for most imports, and taxes on US-made vehicles are expected to fall to just 4 percent in 2014. By 2016, that number will be zero. Needless to say, Hyundai and Kia are concerned about the shift.
Hyundai has seen profit fall by 15 percent last quarter, and the company says it is on pace to see the slowest sales growth since 2007. The company's shares have fallen by 12 percent. In order to stem the losses, Hyundai has discounted its midsize sedans and started working on diesel engine options.
BMW X1 EV for Zinoro spotted
Tue, 04 Jun 2013BMW has teamed up with Chinese automaker Brilliance Automotive to create a joint venture in China, called Zinoro, and it appears that an all-electric version of the X1 crossover is to be the brand's first model. Spotted testing in Munich, these spy shots show a more camouflaged version of the X1 EV that we saw back in April.
Comparing these latest spy shots, we can see that the Zinoro model will wear a completely unique front fascia that ditches BMW's trademark grille, but few other changes seem to be taking place. Previous reports indicate that this Zinoro EV could go on sale in China early next year.
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.
