Selling my 2008 Z4 roadster.  I did a lot of homework on this car before buying it and was planning on keeping it much longer but I am moving from The Woodlands, TX to NYC and will need a car I can drive all year round in that environment.  The SI model has the more powerful 255hp HO motor, is very light, and handles very well.

I chose this car as I have a 94mi round trip commute and wanted a fun, reliable car that got good gas mileage.  This car has delivered: a very reliable vehicle that gets 28+mpg on the highway (this car replaced an Audi S4 that averaged mid-teen mpg).

The Good:

·         Certified Pre-Owned BMW (transferrable) with warranty that expires at the earlier of 100,000mi or 4/8/2014 = piece of mind

·         Car spent the first half of its life in Alabama and is now in Texas.  Has been a southern car its entire life.

·         Difficult to find combination:

o   M heated black leather sport seats

o   Premium Package (power top, power seats, rain sensing wipers, BMW Assist, Bluetooth, Speech recognition, Auto-dimming mirrors, Auto climate control, Xenon lights w/ auto leveling)

o   Sport Package (Sport suspension, two piece alloy wheels, Dynamic Driving Control)

o   6 speed manual transmission

·         Other options:

o   Remote entry

o   Cruise control

o   Power mirrors

o   Leather sport multi-function steering wheel

o   THX sound system w/ Auxiliary input

o   Fog lights

·         High end ceramic window tint

·         The last model year of the naturally aspirated in-line 6 engine in the Z4 that has been a reliable BMW workhorse for years

·         Good gas mileage (great gas mileage when you consider performance of the car).

·         45 yr old, professional, non-smoker, parent that has meticulously maintained the car

·         Oil changed with synthetic every 7,000 miles.  Original battery replaced this spring.

·         Car is generally in great condition, looks and feels very solid all around.

·         Convertible top is only two years old (see below).

Issues:

·         In March of this year, a newly minted driver (just got his license) backed into the left rear of the car in downtown Houston.

o   No structural damage underneath, only scratched and dented the rear quarter.

o   Damaged part was replaced by a new BMW brand OEM panel.  No filler or fixing was done on the quarter…just bolted a new one on and painted to match.  Work was performed at the best shop in the area & I have all receipts.

·         Typical rock chips/wear on the front of the car consistent with the mileage on the car – paintwork on the rest of the car is excellent.

·         Right front wheel has a small stain on the lip of the wheel.  No curb rash on any of the wheels.

·         Convertible top was replaced under warranty soon after I bought the car.  The top was wearing in one spot when retracted.  Was not a significant issue (other than an aesthetic rub mark) but it was under warranty and the dealer offered to install a brand new top so I took them up on it.  Top has performed flawlessly since then.

·         Cup holder also replaced under warranty shortly after I bought the car.  Warranty work was largely me being very particular about the car.

There's no substitution for BMW's E30 Mmmmm3

Mon, 17 Jun 2013

If you told someone that you had a friend with a four-cylinder BMW who "would let me wash the car," and in exchange for the privilege then let you drive that clean BMW once around the block, your first question would probably be "What kind of BMW is this?" There's a chance you wouldn't be surprised once you found out the coupe in question was the E30 M3, a car our own Zach Bowman dubbed the "Mmmmm3."
Petrolicious talks to Gabor Mester about the car he fell in love with, a black version of the original "Munich mauler" that was owned by the parents of a high-school friend - oh, and Mester was also in high school when this washing and driving took place. When the original owners were ready to sell, Mestor was ready to buy, and he hasn't had a single regret about it since.
You can enjoy his story in his words in the video below.

BMW reclaims US luxury sales crown from Mercedes

Tue, Jan 6 2015

The numbers, they are in: BMW has reclaimed the luxury-sales crown from Mercedes by a margin of 9,347 cars. Mercedes donned the king's headgear in 2013 after a strong final quarter of 2013 when the new CLA and S-Class poured out of dealerships. This year, led by the 3 Series/4 Series and X5, BMW sold 339,738 units – a 9.8-percent increase year-on-year. Mercedes, led by the C-Class and M-Class, saw its sales go up by 5.7 percent to 330,391 units. We'll have to wait a bit to see if there's another registrations-vs-sales challenge as in 2012, when BMW was anointed US luxury ruler. Behind them, a dark horse named Lexus nudged closer to the leading Teutons, selling 311,389 cars. The Japanese luxury automaker also had the biggest gain among the top three, its sales rising by 13.7 percent compared to 2013. Audi had the biggest sales of anyone among the top five, though, with a 15.2-percent gain to 182,011, which moved it a spot ahead of Cadillac; the Wreath-and-Crest brand dropped 6.5 percent to 170,750. Acura (167,843), Infiniti (117,300), and Lincoln (94,474) took the final positions. Speaking of Lincoln, sales at the once-mighty luxury marque stand as the mightiest jump of any on this list, up 15.6 percent. That's the power of Matthew McConaughey... and better cars and a new crossover, sure. So now that we're back to Round One of 2015, in case no one else has said it yet: "Ok, fight!"

2015 BMW M3 is fast for the family man

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

BMW finally brought its four-door M3 into the public view, showing the new sedan off at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. The new M3 represents BMW's return to small, wildly fast four-door sedans after a several year absence following the discontinuation of the E90 M3 Sedan way back in 2011.
The M3 enjoys the same 425-horsepower, 3.0-liter six-cylinder used in the M4, with 406 pound-feet of torque and the owner's choice of either an old-fashioned six-speed manual or a seven-speed M dual-clutch transmission. All told, the new powertrain should scoot the four-door M to 60 in a mere 3.9 seconds (with the M DCT).
We've got a full gallery of live images of the all-new M3 up above, and we've included the original stock gallery down below. Feel free to peruse either, and then let us know what you think by sounding off down in Comments.
