A Small blemish in the driver seat leather, passenger window switch was replaced at some point and sits slightly higher that the console itself.

Lower running edge of front spoiler scuffed slightly (as most are)"

You are bidding and looking at a 1999 BMW Z3 Roadster in Good Condition.  It was recently purchased and moved from Florida to Illinois (Chicagoland Area).  I have a Clean Florida Title in hand, which I will simply sign over to the new owner/buyer and the CAR FAX on the vehicle is clean with ONE OWNER previously ( I will look and see if I can cut and paste it into the posting so no one has to pay for it. 

I will answer the question that everyone is thinking immediately to dispell any fears or questions.  YES, I bought the car in May, YES, I am looking to sell it now.  After driving it for the last month (I was gone on vacation for about 15 days in June) It is quite evident that it is just impractical for me personally.  The car is a absolute blast to drive, it is small, compact and FAST.  It sticks to the road like glue and I look damn good in it with the convertible down it is a great experience on a beautiful night to drive in the city and out on the open highway. I bought it because after giving my daughter my Santa Fe, I wanted something to drive myself - after 17 years of BS cars.  However, in the end I have realized that this car is just plain not going to work for me and I am not going to pay to store it in the winter and buy another car to drive through the Chicago winters............so there you have it.  There is NOT A THING WRONG WITH THE CAR.  It is simply just not a fit for me as much as I wanted it to be.

That being said please take a look at the car and the pics if you are interested.  I listed the issues as far as defects, scratches, blemishes etc....there are some (interior wise) but they are not major items.  As a matter of fact I initially looked into the parts to replace worn storage bins and a few trim pieces that I thought I would just tidy up and I think my total for the interior was a few hundred bucks and it was all things you can do yourself, nothing major  mostly cosmetic for myself personally.  The car is in great shape for its age and has been well taken care of.  The engine is smooth, shifts smooth and is fast.  There are NO leaks whatsoever and the engine is clean and maintained.

You will not be disappointed in this Z3 (that is what the guy from Florida told me and I am saying the same to YOU as buyers/Bidders)  He was right.  It is a great car and well priced for the mileage and condition. It is also a popular color scheme Silver on Black.  This Z3 has a Kelly Blue Book Value of $10,500.00.  I just merely want to get me money/investment out of it (nothing more - nothing less).  So it will be a great buy for someone.

If you have any questions and/or want more pics or specific pics of something please E-Mail me and ask.  I will get it done ASAP.  PLEASE ASK BEFORE YOU BID

******PLEASE ONLY PLACE A BID OR MAKE AN OFFER IF YOU ARE A SERIOUS BUYER ******
 
Please take note that the vehicle is also being advertised locally.  in the event that the car sells locally I reserve the right to end the auction early without prior notice.

BMW X4 Concept images leak ahead of Shanghai debut

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

Last month, BMW confirmed that its long-awaited X4 crossover would debut next year, but other than imagining a smaller X6-shaped crossover, we really had no idea what the new niche model would look like. That is until a Russian website, Autowp, leaked a handful of embargoed images this morning showing the X4 Concept that will be unveiled in a couple of weeks at the Shanghai Motor Show.
From what we can see of this concept's styling, there are more elements shared with current BMW models than not. The face of the concept is an attractive blend of the current 3 Series sedan and the X3, while the roofline has definitely plucked right from the X6. This thinly veiled concept should carry over almost untouched when it enters production with the exception of the door handles and the overly stylized fascias and side mirrors. According to CarScoops, it will measure the same length as the current X3 and use the same engine lineup as well. Stay tuned, as we'll have more information on this concept shortly.

EPA: Four 2014 Mini Cooper models need to drop mpg numbers

Wed, Oct 22 2014

After the huge problems that Hyundai/Kia experienced with its mislabeled fuel economy labels, you'd think that any time an automaker has to adjust its mpg numbers, heralds would be shouting from the rooftops. But, after Ford admitted to three big mistakes with its numbers for the 2013 C-Max Hybrid and Mercedes-Benz had to lower the fuel economy rating for the C-Class, we understand if those heralds are a bit tired by now. The models affected include the 3-door and the 3-door S. Still, today's news is that BMW has to lower the fuel efficiency numbers for four versions of the 2014 Mini Cooper thanks to an audit conducted by the EPA and then some joint re-testing. The models affected include the 3-door with the 1.5-liter engine and the 3-door S with its 2.0-liter powerplant, with both manual and semi-automatic transmissions. As with the Benzes, the rating changes are not big ones, around one or two miles per gallon. The big exception is the manual S 3-door's highway number, which lost four mpg from 38 to 34. You can see all the numbers, new and old, in the press release below, but the EPA isn't saying what caused the problem this time. The Agency's new test procedures can't come fast enough. It should be noted that the 2015 Mini Cooper was recently delayed a bit because of the extra time it took to get the EPA numbers right. There's no confirmation that these two items are connected, but we would not be surprised to hear they were. EPA Requiring BMW to Correct Fuel Economy Labels for Four Mini Cooper Vehicles Washington - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is revising estimates for four 2014 BMW Mini Cooper vehicles to ensure consumers are given accurate fuel economy values. The EPA performed a fuel economy audit on the BMW Mini Cooper and obtained values that differed from those BMW submitted to EPA for certification. With EPA oversight, BMW conducted new emissions and fuel economy testing, and EPA conducted its own testing at its National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory in Ann Arbor, Michigan. As a result of this subsequent testing, EPA is requiring BMW to relabel four of its 2014 Mini Cooper models with lower fuel economy values. The specific changes to fuel economy stickers are listed in the table below.

Autoblog fan favorite car ads from Super Bowl XLIX

Mon, Feb 2 2015

Super Bowl XLIX is in the books, and the New England Patriots emerged victorious. Of course, if you're like us, the big game wasn't so much about the battle between the east coast and west, so much as a fight between the world's automotive advertisers. We collected and collated all of last night's new ads and put them together for you to vote on. And yes, we're limiting this year's contest to last night's new features. That's why you aren't seeing Dodge's epic Wisdom among our collection of commercials, and it's a similar story with Chevrolet's Truck Guy Focus Group series, which highlights the new Colorado. You can still vote for your favorites. We won't be closing the voting on our Super Bowl page, so while the winners and losers are correct as of this writing, it's entirely possible that there could be some changes in the rankings as time goes on. So, without any further ado, here are the winning ads based on your voting. Nissan: With Dad Fiat: Ready For Action Jeep: Beautiful Lands BMW: Newfangled Idea Mercedes-Benz: Fable NASCAR: America Start Your Engines As for those ads that failed to impact you, loyal readers, Toyota was the absolute, undisputed loser. The Japanese brand ran four ads in total – two for Toyota and two for Lexus – and all of them have negative tallies as of this writing. Lexus' Make Some Noise and Lets Play and Toyota's One Bold Choice and My Bold Dad both had very weak showings among the commercials that aired, although they weren't alone. Neither Mazda nor Kia scored particularly well, despite featuring celebrity magic act Penn and Teller and former James Bond, Pierce Brosnan, respectively. Chevrolet was the winner of the losers, as of our writing, recording the fewest downvotes for its audience-punking The Big Game ad. If you want to take a second look at the losing ads, you can head back to our Super Bowl page for the complete collection. But for now, head into Comments and let us know what you think of the results.
