1998 M roadster Imola Red / Imola Red and Black interior, Black soft top Production Date: 5/98 3-owner, Southern California car 91,950 miles Clean title All VIN tags on original body panels (pictured in gallery at link above) Includes side airbags (not found on early ’98 cars) Factory CD changer Factory alarm Dinan strut brace (1998 design) added to keep chassis tight OEM (Canadian/Euro market) daytime running light module installed Meticulous preventative maintenance program with OEM parts, unless otherwise noted Zero track time or autocross All maintenance records available under my ownership (and a few from the first two owners) Nearly $7k spent on maintenance in last two years Maintenance Highlights: - Soft top replaced just before I purchased from second owner in 2012 (69,500 miles) - Replaced cooling system (water pump, thermostat, aluminum thermostat housing, temp switches, radiator, fan clutch, fan blade), all fluids (Amsoil in transmission and differential), power steering lines, control arm bushings (Powerflex – no squeaks or harshness), belts, pulleys, and fuel filter in 4/12. - Replaced shifter bushings in 6/12 and original worn shift knob with a ZHP knob (original knob will be included with the sale). - Replaced original suspension with TC Kline single adjustable coilovers in 12/12 at 78k miles (spring rates: 400lb front, 500lb rear). Feels similar to stock suspension, but more composed with better control and damping. New factory M strut hats were installed in front, and Rogue Engineering shock mounts in the rear. - Rogue Engineering spacers installed, 12mm front and 15mm rear. These are not required with the TCK coilovers, but I prefer the look and the car seems more planted with the slightly wider track. Original stock black bolts will also be included with the car (these are shorter than the spacer bolts). - New Michelin Pilot Super Sports in factory sizes (225/45/17 front, 245/40/17 rear) in 5/13. Approximately 10k miles on these. - Rebuilt VANOS unit, replaced top chain tensioner (head was already removed for VANOS rebuild), and oil separator in 12/13. - New OEM transmission mounts in 3/14. Car is in very good condition and drives well. Limited slip differential works as it should, transmission is smooth, clutch is strong, and brakes are solid. AC and heat work very well, as does the power top. The car isn’t perfect and has the following flaws: - When the transmission is cold, the shifter sticks in the fifth gear detent (in neutral it doesn’t center when cold, but instead sits to the right). This is a typical problem with these transmissions that is easily fixed by replacing the shift pins. The service requires removing the transmission and I was waiting until it needs a new clutch to do both, simultaneously. I quickly acclimated and shifts are easy. Once the transmission is up to operating temperature, shifts are normal. - The previous owner pulled too far forward and scraped the bottom of the front bumper on a parking block. I’ve touched this up with factory touch-up paint. - All wheels have some curb rash (also courtesy of the previous owner(s)). - The paint looks excellent but there are a few door dings. I routinely park in end spaces and away from other cars, no further dings have occurred during my ownership. - Specialty Car Craft (Los Angeles) professionally refinished the rear bumper (9/13), after a minor incident (car, when parked, was bumped from the rear and sustained two small gouges from a license plate bracket). This is a well-regarded shop that typically works on exotics – they did a nice job and paint matches. The car is accident free besides this parking mishap. I have included photos of the damage to show how little was sustained. - Factory alarm has a sensor that that needs to be replaced, likely under the hood. I use the key out of habit to lock/unlock (my coupe, owned since 2006, doesn’t have this option). Additional: - Factory tonneau cover included. - Factory windscreen and carrying case included. Leather has a small tear in the center support between the roll hoops, but an upholstery shop should be able to mend. I’ve never used the windscreen – turbulence isn’t bad with the top down (windows up or down). - Two sets of keys and alarm key fobs. Flashlight in driver key works perfectly. - Original owner’s manual included. - New OEM car cover purchased in 12/13. - OEM Imola red II (paint code: 405) touch-up paint included (purchased 7/13). |

Volvo S90 Recharge, Lexus RX 350 and spring beer picks | Autoblog Podcast #679
Fri, May 21 2021In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski. They start off discussing the Volvo S90 Recharge and wonder out loud why the brand's plug-in technology isn't also offered with a wagon body style. They then discuss the Lexus RX350 and why it's likely an ideal premium crossover for a large percentage of buyers. From there, Greg and Jeremy cover some recent news items, including the current state of BMW's coupes and rumors that Toyota's next Land Cruiser will lose its V8 engine in favor of a turbocharged V6. Then it's time to go over some of our current favorite spring beers before turning to the mailbag and spending some listener's money.

Recharge Wrap-up: Portland's Electric Avenue, hacking a Tesla
Sat, Aug 15 2015Portland, Oregon has opened a city block set aside for electric vehicles. Dubbed "Electric Avenue," the EV-only zone replaces one that was taken over by new construction. The new Electric Avenue is an improvement, though, with four universal, 50-kW fast chargers and two Level 2 chargers. Currently, charging is free when customers pay for the metered parking. Portland's original Electric Avenue became a gathering place for EV drivers and an opportunity for companies to test charging technology. Read more at Ecomento. Hackers Kevin Mahaffey and Marc Rogers discussed hacking a Tesla Model S at the Def Con hacking conference. They outlined the car's vulnerabilities, particularly regarding the central information display, instrument cluster and the gateway. The hackers were able to exert control over certain subsystems, but they also pointed out some of the ways in which the car is protected from outside manipulation. Among other things, they were able to turn the car on and off, lock and unlock the doors, control the brakes under five mph, and shift the car into neutral above five mph. Tesla, who was also on hand for the presentation, has patched many of the vulnerabilities. Read more at Tom's Hardware. The BMW i3 is now available through DriveNow in Copenhagen, Denmark. After the carsharing program's success with the electric car in Germany, the UK and US, BMW (which owns DriveNow along with car rental company Sixt) has created a fleet of 400 i3 EVs in the Danish capital. With the help of bus operator Arriva, the BMW fleet is interconnected with public transportation. "Here in Copenhagen we are now already witnessing mobility of the future," says BMW's Dr. Bernhard Blattel. "It is on-demand technology, interconnected, quiet and electric." Read more in the press release below. Four hundred BMW i3 for interconnected mobility in Copenhagen. BMW i supports the improvement of life-quality in cities; Electric car sharing as the key component; DriveNow with the BMW i3 shortly also in Copenhagen, directly interconnected with public transport. Copenhagen. Following the successful introduction of the BMW i3 to the DriveNow fleets in Germany, the UK and the USA, the next major step is being taken with the commissioning of 400 BMW i3 in Copenhagen on September 3rd 2015. What is new here is an all-electric fleet which is also interconnected with public transport.
