This is a beautiful 1998 BMW Z3 with only 90,256 miles!

It's always been garaged & looks & runs great!

It's in great shape & ready to drive from LA to NYC!

I believe in providing as much information as possible to save everyone time.

The Good!

1) It has clean & clear California title (Certificate of Ownership) in my name.

2) I also have a CarFax in hand & have attached it below.

CarFax is indicating it's worth $1,770 above retail Blue Book!

3) Passed smog within last 90 days so smog not required if sold by end of August.

4) Car runs great! It's a big 2.8L, 189 Horsepower, 6 cylinder engine!

5) It has a 5-speed manual transmission & power convertible top!

6) Tires are in great shape with a lot of miles left.

7) It has a mesh screen between the seats to keep backdraft out.

8) I have a brand new, OEM BMW top for it with the built-in rear window.

9) Handling is awesome! I wonder what the Power to Weight ratio is on this car because it handles so well!

The Not So Good!

1) The plastic rear window is missing.

The window stitching came out & eventually the entire plastic rear window simply fell out.

Therefore I got a new BMW top for it. (see #8 above) However since the roof is in such good shape I would first think of having an upholstery shop stitch in a new rear window & save the new roof/window for later

2) The radio antenna is broken so radio reception is poor.

3) The 3rd brake light fell off & is inside the trunk but works. The bezel didn't break off & is still on on the trunk lid. Only the LED light bar on the inside of the trunk fell off.

4) The passenger door requires a push/pull to open. Not a big issue but requires to lift the handle, push in & then pull out to open.

5) There are 2 driving lights located below the bumper.

The drivers' side isn't working. I'm not sure if it's wiring or the bulb.

6) Time for an oil change

I've researched all recently sold Z3's on ebay (actual sold prices, no listed)

& have priced this car reserve well below those. I want it sold, not relisted.

Questons? I check e-mail daily before/after work.

Need additional pix of something? Let me know!

Shipping? Nope, I'm not shipping her anywhere.

But, if you fly into LAX I'll pick you up!

Thank you!

eBay AutoCheck system is giving this Z3 a "72" which is considered "Premium" quality.

If you want a reliable, fun, low mileage car then this is for you!

It's available for test drive. I'm about 6 miles south of LAX.

Thanks!

BMW M4 pitted against i8 in drag race

Fri, Jan 2 2015

Germany's Auto Bild has set up a very intriguing drag race to settle not just an inter-brand rivalry within BMW but a question of the old school versus the latest tech. The BMW M4 is a leader among the traditional sports coupes with a turbocharged inline-six spinning the rear wheels, but the M has to tackle the cutting-edge i8 with its turbocharged three-cylinder augmented with electric drive. See what happens when they go head to head. Even on paper, the race looks quite close. The i8 weighs about 300 pounds less than the M4 and also slightly nudges it out on net torque at 420 pound-feet versus 406 lb-ft. Also in some shots, the pavement looks just a little bit damp here, which would benefit the i8's all-wheel drive setup. However, the M-car has a healthy horsepower advantage with 425 hp against the hybrid's 357 hp. The race commences after a short introduction. Watch and see whether the traditional tech or latest layout wins the day.

BMW readies EV, hydrogen updates for 2015 Detroit Auto Show

Sat, Dec 13 2014

BMW's stand at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show will be the place to go for updates. News about advances in electric vehicle infrastructure, hydrogen fuel cells (maybe) and BMW's suite of connected vehicles app things will all make an appearance at the show next month. Let's start with what we know for sure. Both the i3 and i8 plug-in vehicles are supremely connected cars. A new announcement from BMW (available below) says that the suite of "Now" – ChargeNow, ParkNow and DriveNow Â– apps will be extended and available internationally. The updates include things like being able to find new new fast-charging stations and ParkNow LongTerm, which will let drivers find a permanent parking space where they can fill up their batteries. As Jacob Harb, BMW of North America's head of electric vehicle sales and strategy, told AutoGuide, "2015 is the year of infrastructure." While there is no official mention of a fuel cell stack in the official release (and we've asked BMW to see if there's anything to this news), Inside EVs says that BMW will also show off its new fuel cell stack in Detroit. That's the one that Toyota and BMW are working on together, as announced back in January 2013. If it makes an appearance, then it'll be our first look at the powertrain that's one generation beyond what Toyota has now in the Mirai. BMW at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) 2015 in Detroit. On 12 January 2015, BMW will welcome in the new car year by unveiling a raft of new products at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit. A fixture on the calendar since 1907, the event originally known as the Detroit Auto Show has a long tradition in the USA. This year will be the 27th time it has been held on an international stage, and more than 200 exhibitors will gather at the COBO Center on the Detroit River to present their latest offerings to a large audience. More than 18 million people have visited the show since 1989. The public days take place from 17 Â– 25 January. Celebrating their world premieres in Detroit are the new BMW 6 Series Convertible, Coupe and Gran Coupe, as well as the new BMW M6 Coupe, BMW M6 Convertible and BMW M6 Gran Coupe high-performance models. They will be joined at the NAIAS by the cutting-edge BMW i models and innovative services encompassing the world of electric mobility. And BMW ConnectedDrive will be showcasing its over-the-air regular automatic map updating technology.
