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 535d xDrive
Thu, 20 Feb 2014I absolutely love to travel, but man, do I hate flying. Not the act of flying itself, but air travel in general - slogging through the airport, dealing with security, fighting with delays, only to finally be crammed like cattle into a too-small airplane seat where you're offered $8 sandwiches that are half-frozen. (Okay, it's not always that bad, but still.)
So when I was tasked with attending the launch for the 2015 Subaru WRX STI in Carmel, CA, I had a choice to make. I could fly into San Francisco and find my own way down to Carmel, or I could grab a turbo-prop out of SFO and fly directly into Monterey. And since you're reading about all of this in a car review, it's pretty obvious which option I chose.
The current BMW 5 Series isn't a new car, despite receiving a couple of updates for the 2014 model year. But what is new is the 3.0-liter turbodiesel inline six-cylinder engine found underhood, borrowed from the larger X5 xDrive35d and also seen in the upcoming 740Ld xDrive. It's a honey of an engine, and here in the 5 Series, it makes for a truly first-class experience.
Rolls-Royce sketching out SUV for possible 'late 2017' release
Wed, 14 May 2014With each new story on the Rolls-Royce SUV, the Goodwood automaker comes off as more at ease with their reluctantly birthed yet necessary sport ute. Company design chief Giles Taylor told Autocar that his team is still "sketching to assess the viability of the concept," which to ours ears means they're trying to figure out if such a beast is even possible within the confines of the brand. If it is, Taylor says it will be "a shooting brake, not a crossover with a sloping roof. A proper SUV."
A different company source, unnamed, seems confident that Taylor's team will figure it out, telling the magazine it would start at 200,000 pounds ($335K US). However, that same source said the vehicle will be "a kind of Mercedes-GLK-plus-plus," which is a baffling description in several ways. More reasonable is the speculation that it will ride on Ghost, not Phantom, architecture and make its debut sometime around late 2017.
That Ghost platform is expected to take cues from the carbon, aluminum and steel bones that supported the BMW Vision Future Luxury concept shown at the Beijing Motor Show and destined for the 9 Series. Some of those tricks will also go into the next-generation Phantom, which Autocar says will come in 2017 and not 2020.
BMW 5 Series wagon makes incognito grocery run by way of the 'Ring
Mon, 21 Jul 2014With a debut in 2009, it's high time that BMW delivered the world with the standard mid-cycle refresh of its popular 5 Series. While we aren't expecting to see it here in the United States, that freshening will include the vehicle shown above, the 5 Series wagon.
This is only the second time we've spotted the camo'd, long-roof 5er in the past year, and while it was chained to a flat-bed in those snaps, today, we can see it lapping the Nürburgring. In addition to the images from the track, we also have our first look at the cabin of the freshened 5 Series, although even it is covered in camouflage, making it quite difficult to spot anything of substance.
As for the exterior, expect modest changes for the second-half of the F10 5er's life, with typical tweaks like new headlights and taillights, and perhaps a freshened front fascia. Considering we last saw the upcoming 5 Series just over a year ago, we'd expect an auto show debut for this smoothed-over model in the not-so-distant future, with Paris a leading candidate.
