1996 BMW Z3 Roadster Convertible, 5 Speed Manual Transmission, Custom 19" Wheels, Red & Black, Very Low Miles, Collectors Car .... This is a very beautiful example of the first year BMW Z3. It has been a 'Garage Queen' for many years. I have owned the vehicle for several years. It had 27,900 miles on it when I purchased it and the vehicle now has 30,942 miles. The wheels and tires were new less than 4,000 miles ago. The exhaust pipe system was recently replaced and the battery was also recently replaced. An aftermarket WowAuto sound system has been installed with CD, Radio, TV and IPOD type musical connectivity. The last picture shows the retractable WowAuto flat panel control screen and also the TV / mirror adapter.
This is a highly collectible vehicle that is also very enjoyable to drive. The overall condition of this vehicle is superb. Maintenance has been performed at BMW Dealerships. The interior leather and exterior paint and convertible top are all in very good condition. This vehicle drives wonderfully and there are no mechanical or driving issues.
I am in the process of a pending move and so I have decided to sell this classic BMW Z3. I recently took the car in for California smog certification and was advised by the smog technician that the emissions are very clean, however, the 'drive cycle ready monitors' are not setting so the final step of the smog certification could not be passed. They provided a drive cycle sequence of speeds and RPM's that the vehicle should run in order for the drive cycle ready monitors to set.
This vehicle is being sold without meeting the "CA Smog Certification" requirement. "The purchaser will be required to sign an agreement that the CA Smog Certification responsibility will be assumed by them".
If you need additional pictures of any particular portion of this vehicle I will provide them. The car is located in Temecula, CA and you are welcome to have a mechanic of your choice evaluate the vehicle before you bid.
Pick-up is in Temecula, CA.
Payment by cash or cashiers check only.

BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe caught without cladding
Wed, 04 Sep 2013Like it or not, the majority of BMW 3 Series variants are on their way out, and the 4 Series models are hotly embroiled in the testing needed to replace them. We've now driven the basic 4 Series, seen spy photographs of the 4 Series Convertible and both versions of the M4 and today we get a better-than-ever look at the 4 Series Gran Coupe.
And, mostly dependent on your personal disposition towards four-dour coupes, that look should be a pleasant thing. The long, swooping Gran Coupe may be roughly similar in size to the related 3 Series GT, but it has been sculpted with beauty in mind rather than crossover function. We expect that those details still hidden by the body cladding here, mostly front and rear, can be filled in by simply remembering what the standard 4 Series looks like and squinting your eyes a bit. Subtlety is thy name, BMW variants.
As for the mechanicals, well, we expect to have the very same greasy bits under the hood and beneath the car that are found in the 4 Series lineup, too.
Vorsteiner BMW M4 GTRS4 shows how to do a widebody at SEMA
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Part of the joy of the SEMA Show is that all of the best tuners in the world are competing to show off their wares, and the challenge often pushes the companies into some absolutely insane directions. Case in point: Vorsteiner and its ludicrous GTRS4 wide body kit with the BMW M4.
According to Auto Evolution, the kit reportedly adds 4 inches in the front to fit 10.5-inch-wide wheels and a massive 7-inches more in the rear to snug in 13.5-inch-wide wheels, but spinning around the BMW in these images makes the changes look even more extreme. Beyond just the extra room in the fenders, the lower air intakes are ready to suck in huge volumes of cool air, and there's a front splitter to keep things planted. The front and rear extensions are joined by side sills that grow the farther back they go. Finally, at the rear, the M4 gets a reworked diffuser with mesh inserts.
This is just the type of automotive craziness that makes SEMA interesting. Take a lot at it for yourself in the gallery.
BMW M1 really was the Ultimate Driving Machine
Thu, 29 May 2014Life giving you lemons? Make lemonade. That's the spirit in Munich that lead to BMW producing the only mid-engined sports car in its 98-year history. The project resulted from a collaboration with Lamborghini (now owned, incidentally, by arch-rival Audi) to meet Group 4 homologation requirements. Lamborghini withdrew, the FIA changed its rules, but BMW built it anyway.
Arguably one of Giorgetto Giugiaro's finest designs, the M1 packed a 3.5-liter inline-six, driving 273 horsepower to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual. The Procar racing version turbocharged that output up to 850 hp and attracted the top drivers in a one-make F1 support race series.
Over the course of three years, the Bavarian automaker only built 456 examples of the M1, and for BMW enthusiasts, there's no vehicle more coveted. But don't take our word for it - let Petrolicious tell one noteworthy owner's tale in the video below.
