2000 Bmw Z3 Roadster 2.3 Gray Convertible - Bond Car!!!! on 2040-cars
Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, United States
|
Up for sale, in time for spring and summer, is my baby James Bond convertible - classic roadster! This car has been upgraded by me in many ways, which makes it absolutely head and heels above other Z3 models you can find. The biggest and baddest upgrade is the sound. I installed Focal speakers, an 8.5 inch sub in between the seats, and a JL Audio amp in the trunk. Now you can listen to music LOUD and CLEAR while driving with the top down at 80mph on the highway! Impossible to hear music without distortion at 45 mph with the stock system.
The car is a manual transmission with a 2.5L 6 cylinder engine. Trunk space for a bag of golf clubs.....if you put your driver in the passenger seat. Runs like a beast, handles like a ballerina - simply a FUN driving machine. Especially on beach highways. Color is dark gray. I had a new clutch installed a year ago but otherwise everything is fine. A few months ago my friend drove the car and hit a parking bump which caused some slight damage to the front bumper (see pic). This is something to watch out for as it is easy to misinterpret how close to drive up to those when parking. I decided to sell as is and let the buyer fix it, however it is quite fine to drive as is. New bumpers can be found on ebay for $250, and paint shops that can match are everywhere. Other upgrades include: halo xenon headlights, mesh front grills, racing pedals, a cup holder/container/armrest, daytime running lights module, door panel arm rests, some extra chrome on the door handles, side view mirrors, and door pins, aluminum paint on the side grills, and a small carbon fiber radio antenna. I also replaced the plastic back window once. Finally, I also rewired the electronics for the powered convertible top to be conveniently on the panel close to the radio! No more contorted awkward arm movement to reach for the old button location behind the seat. Contact me with any questions! -Jeff |

BMW to launch loaner program to avoid range anxiety on i models
Tue, 12 Mar 2013BMW is looking to stave off electric vehicle range anxiety with a new program that offers buyers a free gasoline loaner with every i3 purchase. Ward's Auto reports BMW is confident that the EV will give buyers the kind of transportation they need for 90 percent of their trips. The loaners, meanwhile, will be available for those few occasions when drivers need to cover more ground than the machine's batteries will allow. The i3 gets around with help from a 180-horsepower electric motor paired with a lithium-ion battery pack.
The combo is good for trips of between 80 and 100 miles depending on driving habits and weather conditions, though BMW also plans to offer a model with a small two-cylinder range-extending gasoline engine as well. That option will likely set you back an additional $4,000. When the machine bows in 2014, it will likely come with a charge time of four to six hours when suckling from a 220-volt outlet.
As far as the conventionally powered loaner car goes, the cost of the program is included in the i3's purchase price, though BMW has yet to figure out how many free loans will be offered, or what happens after that threshold is reached.
Popular Science magazine's Best Of What's New 2012 all ate up with cars
Tue, 20 Nov 2012Popular Science has named the winners in its Best of What's New awards, the victors coming in the categories of aerospace, automotive, engineering, entertainment, gadgets, green, hardware, health, home, recreation, security and software. The automotive category did not go wanting for lauded advancements:
Tesla Model S: the Grand Award winner for being "the standard by which all future electric vehicles will be measured."
BMW 328i: it's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets called out for being more powerful and frugal than the six-cylinder it replaces.
BMW 1 Series GT morphs into production-spec 225i Active Tourer
Mon, 16 Dec 2013Based on the effort - and money - BMW is spending to break off the coupes and convertibles in its lineup as even-numbered models (like the new 2 Series and 4 Series), we figured the production version of the 2012 Concept Active Tourer was a lock to wear the 1 Series GT name. These spy shots paint a different picture, however, as they show the car seemingly in full showroom-ready trim during a photo shoot, wearing the 225i name indicating that it will be in the 2 Series family.
While it's still very possible that this badging is the final bit of trickery for disguising the front-wheel-drive 1 Series GT, the hatchback itself appears to be the real deal. Aside from new fascias, a smaller grille and slightly different lights, the styling of this "225i" stayed pretty true to the Concept Active Tourer. Thanks to our long-lensed photographer, we also get a brief glimpse inside the hatchback, which reveals a two-tiered instrument panel layout including the free-standing navigation display that is similar to the concept car.
Regardless of what name this new model will wear, expect it to be unveiled at next year's Geneva Motor Show in March before arriving in the US sometime in 2015.
