Bmw Z3 Roadster on 2040-cars
Kerrville, Texas, United States

BMW states that they build the UDM (Ultimate Driving Machine) and I agree. I have been a sports car enthusiast since my 20's. Now in my 70's, I must say that this is the best sports car I have ever owned. It is a pleasure to drive. I am the third owner. The first owner was a rocket scientist at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama. He owned a place at Fort Myers, FL, where he kept this car. After his death, he left the car to his property caretaker. The caretaker was a large man and found he didn't fit into this roadster and he told me that he would rather have the money than to have a car he didn't fit into. I bought it from him about three years ago. Presently, I own two sports cars and being in my 70's I've slowed down somewhat. I own two other cars as well as the sport cars. I don't have that many places to go for all the cars I own. This BMW is a beautiful automobile and needs someone to drive it, therefore I'm putting it up for auction. It has a tonneau cover that you can see in the pictures. The soft top is a little over a year old. The original top was tan and was in good condition except for the piping around the rear window. Someone who lives about 10 blocks away from my house has the same BMW so I thought I would make mine a little more head-turning. I had a burgundy top installed. Burgandy is the factory color. Actually, it appears redder than what I thought it would be. It stops a lot of folks to have a look at it when they walk by. Payment must be complete within 7 days. Any negotiable payment is acceptable as long as it is in U.S. Dollars and in my pocket within that 7 day period. Shipping is the responsiblity of the buyer. I will, if the buyer pays for my full expenses, deliver it to your doorstep as long as your doorstep is in the lower 48 states. I will also meet the buyer at the San Antonio International Airport and deliver the car to you there where you can drive away. You may contact me on my mobile phone @830-370-6782. Thanks for your interest and good bidding. |

Thermal imagery of BMW M4 DTM pit stop is red hot
Wed, 28 May 2014A pit stop is a pit stop, right? The race car pulls in, the crew changes the tires, pumps in some fuel, maybe swaps out a busted body panel or squeegees the windshield, and off it goes for another heat. Only pit stops have become the focus of news lately for a number of reasons, whether it's because of mishaps (like the ones that prompted F1 to ban mid-race refueling), new time records (due largely to said ban) or interesting new ways to film the fast-paced action.
A few weeks ago we brought you footage of an IndyCar pit stop filmed from multiple angles courtesy of Google Glass. Now BMW has released a brief clip of one of its M4 DTM racers coming in for fresh rubber, all filmed by infrared camera. Its the kind of technology BMW uses to help optimize its German touring cars for competition, and now the Bavarian outfit has released some footage for fans to enjoy.
The resulting thermal imagery gives you an idea of how hot the car runs (and where the heat is emanating from), how warm they get the fresh rubber before they get it onto the car, and what kind of temperatures the pit crew is subjected to. Look closely enough in the 25-second video below and you'll even see the heat sputtering out of the exhaust pipes as the M4 downshifts into its pit box. (Just don't try adjusting your speakers, the clip is without audio.)
Popular Science magazine's Best Of What's New 2012 all ate up with cars
Tue, 20 Nov 2012Popular Science has named the winners in its Best of What's New awards, the victors coming in the categories of aerospace, automotive, engineering, entertainment, gadgets, green, hardware, health, home, recreation, security and software. The automotive category did not go wanting for lauded advancements:
Tesla Model S: the Grand Award winner for being "the standard by which all future electric vehicles will be measured."
BMW 328i: it's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets called out for being more powerful and frugal than the six-cylinder it replaces.
Mini nixes plans for 7-seater, Countryman to stay largest model
Sat, 08 Mar 2014Contrary to popular belief, it seems that Mini's growth plans do have a limit both in size and number of models. During the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, it unveiled the six-door Clubman concept (pictured above) that was 4.4-inches longer and about two-inches wider than even the current Countryman crossover. Mini design chief Anders Warming says that this is the new size limit for its models, and the BMW subsidiary isn't building a larger, seven-passenger vehicle above the current Countryman.
"We won't build anything bigger than the Countryman, not at this moment. You should be able to park a Mini in a city, so a Countryman or this new Clubman is as big as it should be," said Warming to Auto Express in Geneva. Rumors going back to last November, pegged the Mini as developing an even larger vehicle to take on mainstream CUVs.
While Warming is ruling out a bigger Minis for now, a smaller one like the Rocketman concept still might be in the cards. He said that the project has been warmly received but still had to be investigated because "it's a numbers game." So if bigger Minis aren't coming, there still might be a slim chance for a smaller one.
