I am selling my BMW Z3. It has been my daily driver for the last 4 years. The car has a clean title. Current emissions good through September. 166,571 on the odometer.

The good:

The car runs. It has been driven every day, and has never left me stranded. It also runs at the proper temperature, Always. Strong reliable engine. Car is straight, never had a major accident. No rust. Heat works. AC works. Oil change is current.

The bad:

Check engine light came on about 5 months ago. It's not running any different than usual. Had the code read and it's catalytic related. So it either needs a need catalytic converter, or the sensors replaced. The ABS light is on. It was on when I bought it 4 years ago. Starter teeth worn out and needs replacing sooner or later(Starts the first time sometimes, sometimes takes 3 tries to start). Needs mass air flow sensor. Needs new strut mounts. The pictures look decent, but I'm a good photographer. The car has a lot of cosmetic issues. Front bumper has paint chips and cracks. Rear bumper has a scuffed look. Sides and top have scratches and glue drips and scuffs, etc. Passenger mirror works, but is being held on by duct tape(I drove too close to a recycling bin and it knocked it off). Drivers side seat has a split in the leather. Console has some scratches and discoloration. Steering wheel has some scuffs and discoloration. Needs a new amp hooked up for the stereo to work(other amp conked out). The car needs tires.

What else:

I think the brakes are still pretty decent. Top isn't ripped and doesn't leak. The head unit is nice with Bluetooth and iPhone hookup. Wheels are decent.

That's pretty much it. This is a private sale. I'll take cash, or we can meet at your bank and you can write me a cashiers check. Bill of sale required for my records. Please Feel free to message me with any questions you may have, or to schedule a test drive. I live and work in Roswell, GA.

Thank you.

BMW and Samsung team up with Galaxy Gear smartwatch that talks to your i3

Sun, 12 Jan 2014

Without a doubt, the most impressive thing that BMW showed at CES this year was a driverless M235i drifting flawlessly around a wet track at Las Vegas Speedway. However, that bit of robotic helmsmanship wasn't the only trick the German company had up its sleeve. Or, more to the point, on its wrist.
Taking a page from rival Mercedes-Benz, BMW demonstrated how a "smartwatch," in this case the Samsung Galaxy Gear, could be made to function usefully with a vehicle, in this case the BMW i3. Calling it a "research application," BMW showed off its BMW i Remote App on the Galaxy Gear; the app gives information about state of battery charge, available range and whether or not all the doors and windows are closed or open. Perhaps more useful still, the watch can be used to send a destination to the i3's navigation unit, adjust the climate control in preparation for a trip and can recognize voice commands. Nifty stuff, if not world-shaking, that could help tech-obsessed luxury buyers take a second look at the upcoming BMW EV.
Take a closer look at the watch in action below, or read thru the BMW press release.

BMW X4 M probably not in the cards

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

BMW is preparing to exploit its latest market niche - those that find themselves unable to choose between the 3 Series, 4 Series and X3 - with the X4. If you're looking for an M product, though, you'll remain limited to the 3 and 4 Series. BMW's Bernhard Ederer, at the Australian launch of the X5, told Car Advice he wouldn't "bet on it," when asked about a hotter X4.
Oddly, Ederer's reasoning, according to the Aussies, is out of concern for the X6 M, whose sales the X4 M would apparently cannibalize. That's like saying the M3 doesn't make sense because it will cannibalize M5 sales - the logic just doesn't really hold up. "The question is what customers are we talking to? And are we talking to someone that is willing and able to afford [an X6 M]?" Ederer told Car Advice.
Car Advice seems to feel the same way, claiming the X3-based X4 will share its powertrains with its donor platform, and will eventually spawn an M variant, albeit a few years down the line.

BMW may keep next 1 Series out of the US

Tue, 07 May 2013

As BMW prepares to introduce the all-new 2 Series coupe and convertible, the 1 Series name definitely won't be going away. We know new sedan and hatchback models are in the works; including the GT shown above. According to Car and Driver, though, the future of the 1 Series nameplate in the US could be dependent on rival premium small cars like the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class and Audi A3.
In an interview with C/D, BMW's North American head of product planning and strategy, Paul Ferraiolo, said that pricing might be the biggest deterrent to offering the third-gen 1 Series in the US. As he points out, BMW currently prices the 1 not too far from the 3 Series, but Mercedes-Benz and Audi will have their new small cars priced well below the $30,000 mark. BMW's Mini brand will also factor into the consideration since the 1 GT will share its underpinnings with the next-gen Cooper lineup.
