I hate to sell my "SPY CAR", but I have lost my winter storage and don't want to wait till fall to sell.  I lose out on a driving season and you gain one!

I purchased this Classic BMW beauty on E-Bay in the fall of 2008.  At the time the vehicle only had 5,000 miles and was and still is in like new condition. I flew to Boston and drove her back home to Canada.  

The "beamer" is an American built vehicle and the odometer (distance travelled) reads in mileage and not kilometres. Like most vehicles on the road, the speedometer shows both, mileage and kilometres  For anyone in Canada that might be concerned if the Z-3 is Canadian Certified, then please don't be!  I installed the day time running light module and it had no other issues for passing the Canadian safety. I have the R.I.V. certificate sticker placed on the interior of the trunk lid. { See Photo's } Plus I would not been able to have driven it for the last 6 years if it wasn't certified!  

Amazingly, she only has 16,900 miles, or 27,200 klm.  That averages out to only 1,000 miles a year.

I am a VERY FUSSY vehicle owner and truly babied this Z-3 from day one. She had been my dream car when they came out in 1996!  Oil and filter change every season, no exceptions. Coolant flush and fill was performed 3 yrs ago.  She really didn't need much else!

The paint was waxed at least twice a season. Our driving season is short, only from mid May till mid October. I always waited until mid-May to put her on the road as I wanted all the winter road grime to be cleaned away.  The paint sparkles as she was still in the show room.

At 50 plus years of age, I can assure you that I am NO speed demon. I never did anything stupid with this car, in regards to speed or misuse!

This car is a real head turner and conversation piece. Don't expect to get gas or go shopping without someone "drooling" and wanting to talk about this beauty.  My license plate reads "SPY CAR", because James Bond used a BMW Z-3 in the 1996 movie Golden Eye. The first time that a German car was used for James Bond and the first movie ever to show off the all new Z-3 .

The beamer is equipped with a computer performance chip, a performance exhaust and a K&N air filter system. These three items help bring the horse power up from the stock 190 to apprx. 210.  The performance exhaust is not too loud and won't break any windows ha-ha, but does give the car a very nice "throaty" sound!  I still have the original exhaust and you are welcome to take that home with you as well.

I also installed a three (3) spoke European Style steering wheel. Looks so much nicer than the stock wheel. I have also installed roll bars that finishes off that unique roadster convertible look. The front part of the hood and front bumper have a clear vinyl protective cover, that the original owner had installed.

Even though the Michelin Pilot tires are 17 years old, you would think they were new. No cracks on the side walls with plenty of tread depth.

The "Zed" was always just a sunny day summer drive and seldom driven in the rain. Always garaged by mid October.

She comes with the original set of keys and key-less entry. She also has an Alarm system.

I have also purchased the cream colour, tailored fit car cover along with the hood nose bra, front bumper bra and R.V. Mirror covers.

I could go on ALL day bragging about my "Spy Car", but I will finish with the following; 

You will simply not be disappointed with this Z-3.  If I love it then I am almost certain that you will as well. As I said earlier, I am extremely fussy about the vehicles I drive and how I take care of them. Pride in ownership shows, inside and out!!!

I also wanted to mention that this Z-3 is more than ready to take on any road trip you might have in mind. She is presently still in storage and will stay that way until she finds a new home. I have NO plans to drive her this year so the mileage will not change. I will also change the engine oil and filter before she leaves and do my best to make sure she is road ready. 

If you use my BIN option, I will give pay your first  $500.00 usd  for either your shipping or travel cost. I will also include the cream colour car cover { worth $300.00 plus } and both hood and front bumper bra's along with the R.V. mirror covers. { worth another $200.00 plus } .  All three items would easily cost you over $500.00 usd.     Save $1,000.00 just for using my BIN option!!!

If you are the lucky winner, I will also need a $1,000.00 deposit on Pay-Pal within 48 hrs.  The remain cost of the vehicle can be paid with either a Bank Draft or Money Order. You can also come with cash if you are picking her up and driving her home. Awesome time of the year for a "top down" trip on the highway!  

If you are pre-paying in advance, then I will need sufficient time to clear your choice of payment, before the car can leave.  NO PAY PAL please for final payment. 

I pride myself in being an honest, friendly seller with very good communication skills.  I do my best to answer all questions in a timely manner and remember, there are NO stupid questions.  The more you ask the more you will know about this Classic Z-3 and the more you will realize that you should purchase her!!

If you are shipping this vehicle, I will be happy to do what I can, to help you in this process. Please be aware that you are fully responsible for obtaining any documentation that is required for this car to cross the border, registering and insuring this vehicle once you get it home. Again, I will be happy to work with you and help in any way I can. 

Last but not least. Please don't be concerned about the date stamp on the pictures. Yes the pictures were taken in 2009, but in NO WAY is the Z-3 any different today then it was then. Only the mileage has changed.  I only drove it apprx. 2,000 miles a year.  My drive back from Boston was just over 2,000 miles.

I sincerely apologies if I have made any errors in my write up. I am being completely honest and up front about this Z-3 and tried to describe it as accurately as possible.  If you read something that doesn't make sense, then please don't hesitate to bring it to my attention!   THANKS!

Thanks for reading and all the BEST in your search!

BMW offers M Performance Power Kit for 2012 335i sedan

Thu, 28 Mar 2013

BMW has let loose a new M Performance Power Kit for its F30-generation 335i and 335i xDrive sedans. Starting at $1,100 for the kit - installation is extra - your car will be fitted with a new ECU and air intake on the functional side and an M Performance engine cover and rocker panel stickers on the decorative side. The Power Kit raises the 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder's horsepower rating from 300 to 320, and on automatic models, torque gets a boost from 300 pound-feet to 332 lb-ft - manual transmission models get a smaller bump to 317 lb-ft.
According to the Bavarian automaker, you'll be able to hear the change in the overrun exhaust note, and 0-60 mile-per-hour times drop by 0.2 seconds. The package is available now at all BMW Centers in the US, and if you get it installed when you purchase the car new, it will get the same four-year, 50,000-mile warranty as the vehicle. Have it done after the fact and the kit will be warranted for two years and unlimited miles. There's a press release below with some more details.

BMW stripes up X6 M Design Edition

Tue, 24 Sep 2013

There's something that makes red, dark blue and light blue stripes running up the fenders and down the flanks of a white car just that much more eye-catching. Whether it's a Martini Racing liveried racecar or something from the BMW skunkworks, they just draw long looks nothing else can. And here's the latest.
The BMW X6 M Design Edition upgrades on the standard X6 M with such special touches as 21-inch alloys, a carbon front splitter and rear splitter, black grilles and diffusor, and of course, those iconic racing stripes, which come as an option on this model.
The interior has been done up in black leather with Mugello red accents and piano black trim. Only 100 individually-numbered examples will be offered, and given that this one's wearing German plates, we doubt there's much chance many (if any) will make it Stateside. But then again, you could always spec up your own X6 M with most if not all of the same trim and forgo the little number plate on the dashboard.
