Bmw: 2002 Bmw Z8 Roadster on 2040-cars
Palo Alto, California, United States

If you're reading this ad, you know about the Z8. For those of you new to the car, here are a few quotes from when the car was introduced:
"You might start with beautiful, which is what everyone has been saying about this shape since BMW unveiled its Z07 concept car at the 1997 Tokyo Motor Show...Really, there's too much in this car to get your imagination around. At first, it seems too gorgeous, more like an art car than a proper BMW. On the boulevard, people turn and stare, kids fall off bicycles, and guys at valet parking get into fistfights in an effort to be the first to reach the driver's side door...The BMW Z8 just isn't like anything else. It's different - singular. This might not be exactly the word that Carl-Peter Forster is looking for, because it doesn't have the sound of big box office in it. But it is the kind of word that people who drive cars are always hoping for." Automobile Magazine "The BMW Z8 is about everything we love about cars. Faster and more nimble than all but a few sports cars made today, it looks as smooth and sensuous as the roadsters of the '60s." Autoweek "Every surface on the Z8 flows continuously without any sense of abruptness. Take the cut line for the door as an example. It starts at the bottom of the front wheel well, separates into two before sweeping upward, cresting over the car's shoulder, then tucking back into the cockpit. And if you continue to trace the broad downward-sloping rear fenders, you'll end up at an elegant narrow band of wrap-around taillights. At the rear, the rounded rectangular cutout for the license plate and the two polished-steel tailpipes melt into smooth surfaces, giving the Z8 a perfect blend of beauty and power...This BMW roadster has succeeded in reinforcing the passion and enthusiasm we have for fine automobiles." Road and Track There were a total of 5,703 cars produced world-wide. The US got 2,543. Of those 5,703 cars, only 138 had the Topaz/Crema color combo. To find this color combo with these low miles and in this condition is unprecedented. This has been my wife's car since Oct 2010. She's only put 300 miles on it during the time we've owned it. She needs a commute lane car, so we're swapping the Z8 for a new Tesla. Car has no issues at all. Comes with original phone, hardtop with stand and cover, new floor mats, cup holder, tool kit. Missing battery charger and seatback windbreaker. Does not have performance kit, but given low miles and treatment, no chassis flex at all. Car is located in SF Bay area. Shipping is responsibility of buyer. Deposit of $1,000 must be paid within 24 hours of winning bid. Contact me if you need more information or specific pictures. Reserve is set low for the value of this car. |

BMW recalling nearly 570,000 1 Series, 3 Series and Z4 models over electrical issue
Mon, 18 Feb 2013BMW is recalling roughly 570,000 vehicles in the United States and Canada due to faulty battery cable connectors that can fail, causing the engines in these cars to stall. Of the nearly 570,000 affected vehicles, just over 504,000 are here in the US.
The affected vehicles include 1 Series coupes and convertibles (both 128i and 135i) from the 2008 to 2011 model years; 3 Series sedans, coupes, convertibles and sport wagons (both 328i and 335i) from the 2007 to 2011 model years; and Z4 roadsters from the 2009 to 2011 model years.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, "the connector for the positive battery cable connector and the corresponding terminal on the fuse box may degrade over time," which can eventually lead to a break in the electrical connection and a loss of power in the vehicle. If the car loses power, the engine can stall, which could possibly lead to a crash. The Detroit News reports that BMW knows of one minor collision in Canada as a result of this problem, but no injuries.
M-fographic breaks down the history of BMW performance machinery
Fri, 18 Oct 2013Few characters carry the kind of clout among performance enthusiasts as the letter M. For 35 years now, that one letter has adorned over 300,000 BMWs, each tuned to deliver a higher degree of performance than the stock models on which they're based.
The M division has worked up nearly 100 different models over the past third of a century, which can leave even the most expert among Bimmer fanatics bewildered. Fortunately British auto loan service Carfinance247 has commissioned this handy infographic to make sense of it all, and you can check it out below to see what the letter M really stands for.
2015 BMW M4 Coupe
Mon, 12 May 2014Launched out of the seat by a huge, unexpected dip in the road, yet still held largely in place by the smooth webbing of my safety belt, I clench my teeth waiting to come back to earth. A tenth of a second later, the M4 Coupe touches down and my body is slammed into the leather seat cushion. All of the air is forced out of my lungs upon landing, but the BMW's chassis, suspension and steering appear unfazed. Pleasantly surprised, I mash the accelerator to the floor in giddy pursuit of the car in front of me - an absolutely identical 2015 BMW M4 coupe.
A cavorting game of cat-and-mouse on a desolate twisty canyon in southern Portugal is an excellent way to explore the real-world driving dynamics and performance of BMW's all-new M4 Coupe. But to truly push it to the limit - without having to worry about oversize depressions in the asphalt - requires a dedicated racetrack. Graciously, my hosts have rented the famed Autódromo Internacional do Algarve racetrack, or Portimão circuit, for an afternoon of automotive debauchery.
It's hard to believe this passes for work.
