Louisville, Kentucky, United States

This is my wife's 2.3L BRIGHT RED Z3! We ordered it from BMW and had it built just the way we wanted it! We received the car in October of 1999.  This car has been garage kept and well maintained throughout the years. The powered soft top is tan in color and works perfectly! The 125,011 (9,000 per year avg.) miles have primarily occurred on freeways driving to and from work. The car has NEVER been involved in any accident. We have had it cleaned and detailed throughout the years and most recently in late 2011. This included touch-ups on any paint chips from normal driving. We have all maintenance reports and receipts.  The tires are in great shape. This Z3 has an automatic transmission. The soft top has minimal wear because we keep the hard top on the car 90% of the time.  We only use the convertible without the hard top during the Fall each year when we have optimum conditions here in Kentucky. We have struggled whether to even sell our car because we are very attached to it.  We selected a reserve price a bit above Kelly Blue Book excellent private sale value because we know its worth that and more!!!!! We want to find a great home for this car and find someone who will take care of it like we have.

I've done nearly 300 transactions on Ebay over the years with 100% feedback, but never a car, so forgive me for being overly cautious.  We would like a down payment of $500, preferably PayPal within the first 48 hours after the auction ends.  I would prefer the remaining transaction in cash or cashiers check.  The buyer is responsible for pick-up and or delivery and any fees associated with the transfer of the car.  Please email me any questions you may have.

BMW offering Track Handling Package for 2 Series

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

After getting a chance to drive the BMW M235i earlier this year, we mentioned our regret at not being able to sample the lighter and less powerful 228i Coupe. We'd like to have seen how close the latter could get to the former, noting that "there's a lot of room for upgrades with the $11,000 retail difference." BMW is closing that performance gap slightly, announcing that a Track Handling Package will join the options sheet for the 2015 228i Coupe.
The group bolts on Variable Sport Steering, Adaptive M Suspension and M Sport Brakes behind new 18-inch lightweight wheels wearing Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. There's no change to the 240-horsepower four-cylinder, but a coupe so equipped should be able to do plenty more with the horses it has thanks to a faster steering rack, sharper handling due to additional sensors and a ten-millimeter drop in ride height, and larger brakes and discs.
BMW has used the New York Auto Show as a venue to introduce the new Track Handling Package, and it will roll onto showroom floors in July and pricing will be announced sometime between now and then. Takers can get it with both the six-speed manual and eight-speed Sport Automatic, see it in the high-res image gallery above, and read about it in the press release below.

A look back on BMW, South Carolina and Southern manufacturing

Sat, 29 Dec 2012

It has been 20 years since BMW broke ground on its Spartanburg, SC manufacturing facility, and while the automaker doesn't have any plans to mark the moment, economists and industry analysts have taken a closer look at the facility's impact on South Carolina, the South and global manufacturing. As of November, the Spartanburg plant's 7,000 employees cranked out 25,000 vehicles per month, and BMW has poured some $6 billion into the state since the plant opened in 1993. While that figure nearly matches the state's proposed budget for next year, some say there have been drawbacks.
To begin with, South Carolina provided BMW with hundreds of millions of dollars worth of public money and tax breaks with little public oversight, setting a precedent that would repeat itself with other corporations. The Detroit News reports that a Pew Center evaluation found 26 states didn't have a sufficient system for evaluating tax incentive performance. But BMW opened the door for a Southern manufacturing renaissance, with automakers from Mercedes-Benz to Hyundai and Volkswagen opening plants in the Deep South.
While states have raced to offer ever sweeter tax and cash incentives for big manufacturers, officials say BMW is proof the system can pay dividends. You can read the full piece here.

Toyota sells off Tesla shares, too

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

The incredible rise of Tesla's stock price has done little to now stop two major shareholders from ditching their stake in the American EV manufacturer. First, Daimler, parent company of Mercedes-Benz, ditched its four-percent stake, and less than a week later, Toyota is doing the same thing, selling off an undisclosed bit of its Tesla investment.
The move comes as Toyota winds down sales of the RAV4 EV, which gets its batteries and electric motor from Tesla at the company's Fremont, CA factory.
"We have a good relationship with Tesla, and will evaluate the feasibility of working together on future projects," Toyota spokesperson Kayo Doi told Bloomberg via email.
