This is a very nice and well cared for 2002 BMW Z3 M Roadster. Since you clicked on this I guess I shouldn't go through how rare this car is with less than 1600 built in 01-02 and 02 being the last year for the Z3. Let me tell you about this car. This car was in NY in Hurricane Sandy. This car was cleaned and a shop had removed the seats when I bought it from an insurance auction. From what I can tell this had about 3 inched of water inside. The seat motors are toasted and were unbolted to move the seats to unbolt them. The water did not get over the tunnel or to any wiring under the dash. The airbag module did not get wet. The seat cushions don't appear to have been wet either. This was a very low flood. The engine starts and runs very well. Everything from the windows to the AC works. What this will need are all four seat motors and redo the wiring to the seats as this has one big electrical connection similar to the one found on E46 seats and that is corroded and should be replaced. The brakes are in excellent shape and transmission shifts like new. There is a bit of whine from the clutch throw out bearing. This is not a big job for me so I will just install a new one if the car sells. I can't see doing it now as if the reserve price is not met I will be parting the car out. This has polished wheels which I have never seen before. They look beautiful but will need some light cleaning. The top is in like new condition. Overall this is a chance of a lifetime to get a 24k mile S54 M Roadster with less than $1000 of work needed for less than half what one should cost. You will be seriously impressed with the condition of this car. I will add better pictures as soon as the weather clears up and I can take pictures outside. The title is a New York 907 salvage certificate. As the insurance companies would not turn the key on any flood vehicle the title is marked not actual mileage. I am a NJ car dealer so yes if you are a NJ resident you will have to pay 7% sales tax. If you are not a NJ resident you will have to fill out a ST 10 tax exception form. No exceptions. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding. Please feel free to contact me to set up a time to come see the car.

Ok, I've had a ton of questions on this car. The wheels are the proper wheels for the car but instead of being painted these have been polished. The wheels are not curb rashed, bent, or damaged. They do need to be cleaned and I would hand polish them if it was my car. I also say I did not mention that the lower sides of the front bumper where slightly damaged when this was picked up by the loader. I added pictures of this. If you have already bid and no longer want the car do to this please contact me by the end of the day on Friday and I will cancel your bid. The leather on the seats is perfect and will not need to be replaced. It is soft and the car has no abnormal smells. The only other part of the seats that maybe damaged are the seat belt latches as they have the airbag pyrotechnic in them that was in the water. They may be fine but without taking care of the seat plug there is no way to test them. These are not to bad at around $150 a side new from BMW. The antenna was unscrewed and was in the trunk. It is back on in the new pictures and yes the radio works. I have had quite a few people ask about temp tags. I can not stress this enough. THIS IS A SALVAGE TITLE. This can not legally be driven on the road until it has been inspected by your state and you are issued a new title. So no I can not issue a temp tag and the car must be towed. I will take care of the throw out bearing as the reserve is meet and this car will sell. Someone is going to get a great car. I had a few people mention how great a track car this would make. That is a great idea and I wish I could keep it myself as a track toy. So thanks for checking this out and have a great day.

2014 BMW 4 Series
Tue, 23 Jul 2013Because Four Is Greater Than Three
Say what you will about the name 4 Series, there is a method to BMW's madness. On one hand, it's easy enough to just buy into the logic that odd numbers are reserved for sedans and wagons, and that even numbers are reserved for coupes and convertibles. On the other hand, consider the idea that the higher numbers are used to separate the more dynamic, more engaging vehicles that use the same platform. It's that sort of separation that differentiates the 6 Series so nicely from its 5 Series roots, after all. And if we're being cynical, it also allows BMW to charge a bit more money for its lower-volume offerings.
So with the new two-door version of the 3 Series, BMW has gone the route of strengthening the dynamic virtues of its F30 chassis to create a car that's more removed from its sedan kin than one might think. And after spending some time with the new 4 Series on the roads around Lisbon, Portugal, as well as the famous Circuito do Estoril racetrack, it's increasingly clear that calling this car a 3 Series Coupe simply wouldn't be fair.
BMW recalls diesel X5 models over fuel filter heater
Mon, 19 Aug 2013
BMW has announced that it is recalling 1,540 examples of its 2009 and 2010 X5 xDrive35d crossovers produced between June 13, 2009 and November 9, 2009.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the model's fuel filter heater, which warms up the diesel fuel at low outside temperatures, can experience an electrical overload condition that may cause it to become permanently activated. This means the fuel filter heater could remain activated even when the ignition is off, which could lead to a dead battery. It could also lead to overheating, possibly resulting in a fire.
BMW joins the early holiday advertising fray with three new ads
Thu, 06 Nov 2014October 31 is no longer known as Halloween, or All Saints' Eve or even as that day when all children simultaneously develop huge cavities. It's now known as the day before Christmas/holiday advertising begins. Seriously, as of November 1, it seems like companies across the country and from every industry have declared open season on holiday ad campaigns. It's all premature enough that we're already feeling our inner Grinch showing, but at least some of the ads are better done than others.
Among them are new spots from BMW, which has arrived with this mini-campaign of three 30-second, Christmas-themed spots. There's a cameo from Santa Claus, who's at the helm of a sleek M6 Gran Coupe in one spot, while a 3 Series Gran Coupe slices through a slalom of Christmas trees in another. The final spot, called "Road Home", doesn't focus so much on the brand's "Ultimate Driving Machines," as it does the trip home for the holidays.
We've embedded all three videos below, so take a look and then let us know what you think of this seemingly perpetual holiday marketing calendar creep - and the BMW ads in particular - in Comments.
