This is a very fine condition 2000 model year BMW M Roadster. It is not a concours winner, but is in very well maintained condition and all the important stuff is right, such as:
- No rust ever anywhere
- No dents or dings
- Shiny/glossy, well maintained original paint
- Interior does not look tired or worn, very fresh, no rips/tears
- New Dunlop Direzzas all around; (255/40) rears within last 1,000 miles, (225/45) fronts within last 10K.
- I believe the last owner put a new cloth top on just before I bought it, because the condition is excellent. Only minor fold scuff on plastic window. You can see top and window condition in photos, very good condition.
- New sway bar links/bushings (checked rotors and pads while I had everything off, and they look fine for another 10K anyway.
- Polished head light lenses last fall
- New emblems on hood and decklid, as they were starting to fade a little
- 3 owner car, all BMW enthusiasts who took good care of it, including frequent synthetic oil changes and all filters.
The car's few imperfections
- small piece (about 3'8" long) of driver's door tweeter bezel missing, I took a picture of it
- normal stone pecking and curb rash for a vehicle its age (worst of it in the photo)
- Analog electric clock does not keep accurate time
- Windows go down somewhat slowly, but go up normal speed. Might need some lube on weatherstrips.
- Shift knob emblem has air bubbles under the acrylic. It didn't bother me enough to replace it with a non-original part
While this car is not concours condition, it is a well maintained driver, that has NEVER seen snow, and rarely been in rain. I only goes out from May to October after all the salt has been washed off the road. You could take this car to your local car show and be very proud of her. If you have been following these cars values, you know that the M roadsters have already begun to appreciate (not so the normal Z3s yet); so it is a decent investment as well. I love this car and do not want to sell it, but need to make room in the garage. The car doesn't need anything, it is ready to give years of pleasure and reliable driving.
The car is priced very fairly with the buy it now very close to blue book, and the reserve below book. If you are realistic, a very fine car is waiting for you. All funds must clear before I will release vehicle, and I will support whoever you choose for shipping, but shipping is buyer responsibility. Have fun, and good luck!

BMW Individual gives 760Li a Sterling reputation
Thu, 24 Oct 2013Standard chrome too plebeian for your taste? You can order a Rolls-Royce with its Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament made out of just about anything you want: gold, silver, glass... you name it. But if your sense of style is a bit less Anglo and a bit more Saxon, BMW has another option for you.
Feast your eyes on the BMW Individual 760Li Sterling edition. (But don't look directly at it. Don't you dare.) Crafted in partnership between BMW Individual and the silversmiths at Robbe & Berking, the special 7 Series is adorned with hammered sterling silver trim inside and out. The twin-kidney grille, the emblems, the interior trim panels... all hand-made in silver. So you won't want to park this particular Bimmer in the wrong neighborhood, because unlike the Rolls ornament, these don't retract safely under the hood.
The special edition gets a dark grey exterior tint and brown leather interior, the best to highlight the silver brightwork. Otherwise it's mechanically identical to any other 760Li (or so we would presume, as the press release didn't mention specifically), that being the flagship version of BMW's flagship sedan, complete with 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 at the front end of a long wheelbase. Check it out in the gallery above, including the build process at both BMW Individual and Robbe & Berking, and press release below.
BMW planning to stretch i3 into i5 family hauler?
Sat, 30 Nov 2013If you're sweet on the new BMW i3 but wish it had more space to carry people and stuff, we've got good news for you. According to Autocar, BMW is planning on stretching the platform that underpins the i3 to create a new model, expected to be called i5.
The stretch job would add an extra four inches of legroom in the back and another six inches of rear overhang to the benefit of cargo space. The result would create a vehicle longer than the current Mini Countryman - although the next Countryman is likely to be even larger. As Autocar points out, the process of extending the i3's composte passenger cell likely wouldn't be as difficult or cost-intensive as lengthening a conventional metal chassis, although the rear doors would need to be re-engineered.
Whether the resulting vehicle would more closely resemble a hatchback, wagon, minivan or something in between remains to be seen, however BMW is said to have already registered the nameplates i1 through i8, signalling that the possibility is at least there to add more members to its new EV family.
Even 'Ring taxi drivers need to respect the Green Hell
Wed, 06 Aug 2014The Nürburgring Nordschleife has the reputation as one of the most difficult tracks in the world to master - deservedly so. With 14 miles of roadway and about 160 corners over a massive amount of elevation change, the amount of grip can change from turn to turn. As the driver of the famous BMW Ring Taxi learned this weekend after a shunt into the barricades, the 'Ring can bite unsuspecting pros just as easily as amateurs.
The video of the incident below shows the M5 oversteering right into the wall as a phalanx of Porsche models arrive behind it. According to Bridge to Gantry, a website that specializes in news about the 'Ring, the taxi's passengers were picked up by another Ring Taxi and driven off with a fantastic story to tell their friends back home. "The accident happened at low speed, there were two passengers in the car, but no one had at any injuries," said BMW spokesperson Cypselus von Frankenberg to Autoblog via email.
The crash also closed track for over an hour to clean up and to haul the stricken BMW away. When a driver making a living from driving lap after lap at the Nordschleife has a crash even as seemingly minor as this one, it just goes to show why the course has the nickname 'The Green Hell.'
