2001 Bmw Z3 Roadster Convertible 2-door 3.0l on 2040-cars

US $9,950.00
Year:2001 Mileage:94677
Location:

Dresden, Maine, United States

Dresden, Maine, United States

Condition:

New paint on front bonnet.  Had minor damage which has been repaired to driver's side engine vent area.  I took the opportunity to repaint the entire hood and it came out sparkling.  This is a very good looking car which gets lots of attention, especially since it looks like the same one used in the James Bond film that made it so famous.

The DSC (dynamic stability control) does not seem to have any effect when driving, so it may not engage.   

Power windows are in need of lubrication maintenance and go up and down with a little manual assistance now. 

Power assist on the convertible top motor is not working and has not worked since I bought the car 6 years ago.  The roof is not heavy so there is no reason to use a motor to put the roof up or down.  The boot cover was also missing when I purchased the car.  You can buy them for about $200.

There is minor damage to the passenger seat leather where the seam separated at the cushion corner near the door, about three inches, currently covered with a strip of black tape. The leather looks like faux ostrich to me, but I am not sure.  The trim molding has a small two inch split near the windshield in the very center.  Near the side glass the dash material has come unglued slightly due to the heat.  Neither of these things are very noticeable.

The stereo is not original, and the subwoofer has been replaced in the center console, as these often wear out.

The tires are in good shape, but have been used one season.  This car has always been covered, stored and well-cared for.

BMW M2, we're happy to see you

Wed, 03 Sep 2014

I recently spent some time behind the wheel of the BMW M235i and, well, I didn't love it. Sure, it's a great car, but I just didn't truly bond with it the way I have with previous M cars. What I had hoped for was a proper successor to the 1 Series M Coupe I fell in love with in 2011, but what I got instead was just a sporty 2 Series that didn't exactly stir my emotions in the same way.
But now there's this: the honest-to-goodness BMW M2. Previously, spy photographers captured a development-mule M2, but this is the real thing, in its full prototype body. Notice the aggressive front fascia that mimics the M3/M4, the more more robust wheel/tire package, and the M-standard quad exhaust outlets around back. This thing sure does look the business.
Details are slim as of this writing, but rumors suggest power will come from BMW's now-ubiquitous N55 turbocharged 3.0-liter six, with output somewhere in the 360- to 380-horspower range. The seven-speed M dual-clutch transmission seems like a good fit here, too. As does a six-speed manual transmission (here's hoping).

Toyota, Mercedes, BMW top automakers included in List of Best Global Brands

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

Interbrand, a consultancy firm, has published its 13th annual list of the best global brands. Besides seeing some shakeups at the top - Apple and Google unseated Coca-Cola (a company that has dominated the survey since its birth), the 100-item list features 14 automakers, most of which enjoyed double-digit gains in brand value.
Toyota managed to retain its spot as the study's top automaker. It finished the survey in 10th position overall (the same as last year), despite a 17-percent improvement in its brand value, from $29.33 billion to $35.34 billion. Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Honda all made the top 20, at 11th, 12th and 20th place, respectively. Hopping a ways down the list, we come across Volkswagen in 34th place, up from 39th in last year's study, with a brand value of $11.12 billion, a 20-percent improvement over 2012. Ford and Hyundai round out the automakers in the top 50, at 42 and 43.
Porsche made the largest year-over-year gain of any automaker, with its brand value increasing 26 percent to $6.47 billion. Chevrolet meanwhile, cracks the list for the very first time at 89th place. As Interbrand notes, Chevy's inclusion is notable because of the sheer number of vehicles it moves for General Motors and its recent push in developing markets. The final interesting note on this survey is the position of an automaker that takes its name and logo more seriously than perhaps any other - Ferrari. The Italian exotic manufacturer finished 98th out of 100, with just $4.01 billion in brand value, a six-percent improvement over 2012.

BMW M6 amped up for track duty by Risden

Sat, 22 Dec 2012

Risden Engineering is a bit of an unknown, if we're being completely honest - we have yet to report on the company to date, and its corporate website is really an information desert save for the name and a few email addresses. Even the press release that we requested from Risden's contact person is short and vague. That's all pretty much okay with us as long as the shadowy tuners, you know, make good on this sweet-looking BMW M6 racecar thing.
Dubbed the Risden 6R, we're told that the M6 modification will result in a vehicle that is more adept at track work, while still being street-legal. In terms of specifics, we read that a full aero kit will be involved, with one fixed and one retractable rear wing (hard to miss). There are obviously new wheels, and the company has also added a fully adjustable suspension, a four-point roll bar and a new braking system - all while reducing curb weight overall.
Apparently more details are to follow after the 6R's official release in the first quarter of 2013. We wait with bated breath.
