I found out my girlfriend is pregnant and we are expecting in August. So I now need to sell my baby to save and prepare for my soon- to-be new baby.

I am going to try to list everything I know about the car, what it needs, and what has been done to it.

You are looking at a 2000 z3 coupe. They made less than 5000 of these cars within four years.

I just spent $500 to have the water pump, coolant fan, and fan shroud replaced because the cold weather broke the fan shroud clips, causing the shroud to break the fan. I had it fixed just after going out to start the car because of the cold weather.

The story:

I purchased this car a little over three and a half years ago. I found it on eBay and flew out to Newark NJ to pick it up. The guy I purchased it from said it was a repossession from Chase and that the car had the seats and side door panels were stripped when he got it. So he put after market seats inside the car and found used inside door panels to be put back on. The seat belts do not work, not because there are no seat belt straps, but because the clip that attaches the harness to seat belt clips into is attached to OEM seats (see photos). It was my intention to replace the seats, so I could have proper functioning seat belts, but I never did. The brakes were really bad when I got the car and needed to be replaced, so I spent $1200 getting the car running smooth again.
Next, my girlfriend backed up into my car not seeing it, and her 5th wheel dented the hood of my car (insurance claim). When I took my car to the body shop (Orr's Auto Body Cincinnati) I had them fix the dent on the hood, paint the hood, and paint the front bumper. They noticed that the rims have been spray painted flat black and told me that they know a guy who can clean them up to look brand new for $250. I kept that in mind for a future date when I wanted to bring the car back to its beauty.

Next, the car has some dings on both doors (parking lots at the grocery ughhh) and a small scrape on the rear driver side bumper, another incident where the driver drove away while the car was parked.

Whenever I had the car serviced they used high viscosity oil purchased from the BMW dealership. Below is a link to the company that worked on the car. (Bavarian Motor Service)

I have had the brakes and rotors replaced, and new oxygen sensors installed.

The car is currently due for another servicing, and it’s starting to idle a little rough (my thoughts are because it’s winter)

The car has new tires installed and a lifetime tire warranty placed on the tires (half price for tires if any damage), with a 3 year alignment. TiresPlus says that the warranty is good for the purchaser/owner, however, you might be able to take the paperwork in for an alignment if need be, if you live in Cincinnati, I could also meet you at any of the locations, if they ask for an ID. Or I can provide you with one of my old school IDs.

AC recharge over the summer of 2013. Blows cold.

What the Car Needs:
1. There is a sound that recently started rattling, it sounds like it’s an exhaust issue. It doesn't do it all the time but has happened a few times recently. When I read the reviews for the car (3 years ago) I found that one z3 owner had to have exhaust work done around 120k miles, and their cost was 350$. Since there is a metal undercarriage that covers everything in sight, I am not able to just look to see if it’s a loose bolt or what. Since I am also a student, I haven't really had the money to invest into just having it looked at.

2. Car needs serviced.

3. The BMW emblem is missing from the hood of the car. You can purchase a new emblem from Amazon with free shipping for $5.98.

4. Center Cap Emblems, one is missing, the other three were spray painted black. You can purchase a set of four new emblems on Amazon with free shipping for $20.99.

5. OEM seats. They show up on ebay from time to time in the $400 to $800 range per set.

6. Minor body work

7. New windshield (currently has three small rock chips)

8. Interior blower motor needs looked into. Sometimes it works on all settings (1,2,3,4) and other times it only works on full blast. It works regardless...

The car is listed locally and may be taken off ebay at any time if its sold... Please call me if you have any questions. I am in class regularly so texting might be an easier form of communication.

2014 BMW 4 Series Convertible is easy, breezy, beautiful

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

BMW debuted its 2014 4 Series Convertible today at the LA Auto Show, and the sporting two-door will feature a folding hardtop - like the convertible 3 Series before it - and be offered in 428i and 435i guises.
The 428i Convertible is equipped with BMW's 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, which pumps out 240 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque - good for sprinting from 0-60 miles per hour in 6.2 seconds. The 435i Convertible gets the 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine, which steps up output to 300 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque. The topless 435i drops the 0-60-mph time to 5.5 seconds. Both cars come standard with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and BMW says that a manual transmission will not be offered on 4 Series Convertibles in the US market.
The 4 Series Convertible will be offered in Sport Line, Luxury Line and M Sport trims. Pricing starts at $48,750 for the 428i Convertible and $54,900 for the 435i. Head on below to peruse the (long) press release for details.

BMW M4 Concept beckons the new golden child of M cars

Fri, 16 Aug 2013

Ushering in the next-generation of two-door M performance cars for BMW, the new M4 Concept was officially unveiled at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance last night after an unceremonious embargo leak yesterday afternoon. The reality of the fact that we will never again have a new M3 Coupe is a little easier to deal with after browsing the M4 Concept's sleek and sporty lines.
As was the case with the Concept 4 Series Coupe, we expect the this M4 to transition from concept car to production coupe with very few changes. Among the features we's bet against making it into production include the front splitter and the exhaust tips - both made from carbon fiber. Other notable details are the aero-shaped mirrors, the subtle M stripes on the carbon fiber roof and the 20-inch wheels exposing big six-piston from brakes. If it were up to us, we'd say bring this car to production as is - except for the paint color.
There is still no word on the M4's powertrain or if it will even offer a manual geabox, but we would imagine that we'll be seeing this car in production form, complete with all of those details at the LA Auto Show.

2015 BMW M4 Convertible is here to put wind in your sails

Thu, 03 Apr 2014

Each generation of the BMW M3 has included a convertible model. Even the distant E30, the patriarch of the M3 line, had an ultra-rare (only 787 were built) droptop model. The convertible became more common on the successive generations, with the hardtop-convertible E93 being the most recent. Considering this history, there seemed very little doubt that as the M3 became the M4, a convertible would be in the cards. Now, the new droptop has arrived.
Set for its global debut at the 2014 New York Auto Show, the 2015 BMW M4 Convertible features, like its forbearers, everything that's great about the hardtop variant while adding an unlimited amount of head room. That means the same 3.0-liter, 425-horsepower, 406-pound-foot, twin-turbocharged straight six sits under its domed hood, while either a six-speed stick or a seven-speed M dual-clutch transmission dispatches power to the fat rear tires.
As for specific differences between the hardtop and the new convertible, obviously, the droptop is heavier. A lot heavier. Where an M4 with a six-speed manual tips the scales at 3,530 pounds, the M4 Convertible weighs in at 4,055 pounds. Believe it or not, BMW has actually trimmed 90 pounds from the last-generation M3 convertible, code-named E93. This marginal weight reduction from the third-generation convertible to the fourth is barely half of the 174 pounds BMW was able to subtract when transitioning from M3 Coupe to M4 Coupe.
