2000 Bmw Z3 Roadster 2.3 Gray Convertible - Bond Car!!!! on 2040-cars
Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, United States
Up for sale, in time for spring and summer, is my baby James Bond convertible - classic roadster! This car has been upgraded by me in many ways, which makes it absolutely head and heels above other Z3 models you can find. The biggest and baddest upgrade is the sound. I installed Focal speakers, an 8.5 inch sub in between the seats, and a JL Audio amp in the trunk. Now you can listen to music LOUD and CLEAR while driving with the top down at 80mph on the highway! Impossible to hear music without distortion at 45 mph with the stock system.
The car is a manual transmission with a 2.5L 6 cylinder engine. Trunk space for a bag of golf clubs.....if you put your driver in the passenger seat. Runs like a beast, handles like a ballerina - simply a FUN driving machine. Especially on beach highways. Color is dark gray. I had a new clutch installed a year ago but otherwise everything is fine. A few months ago my friend drove the car and hit a parking bump which caused some slight damage to the front bumper (see pic). This is something to watch out for as it is easy to misinterpret how close to drive up to those when parking. I decided to sell as is and let the buyer fix it, however it is quite fine to drive as is. New bumpers can be found on ebay for $250, and paint shops that can match are everywhere. Other upgrades include: halo xenon headlights, mesh front grills, racing pedals, a cup holder/container/armrest, daytime running lights module, door panel arm rests, some extra chrome on the door handles, side view mirrors, and door pins, aluminum paint on the side grills, and a small carbon fiber radio antenna. I also replaced the plastic back window once. Finally, I also rewired the electronics for the powered convertible top to be conveniently on the panel close to the radio! No more contorted awkward arm movement to reach for the old button location behind the seat. Contact me with any questions! -Jeff |

2015 BMW X6 keeps it weird
Thu, 02 Oct 2014Say what you will about the BMW X6 - odd and ugly as it may be, it's actually been sort of successful for the German automaker. BMW has now sold some 250,000 examples of the X6 since its launch, and the company's fastback-crossover-coupe-whatever-thing gets a host of meaningful updates for the 2015 model year while not straying from its original mission.
Aside from its revised styling, most noticeably set apart by its larger, X5-inspired headlamps, the biggest update for the US-spec X6 is the addition of a rear-wheel-drive model, the sDrive35i. This trim joins the all-wheel-drive xDrive35i and xDrive50i, and since you should all be capable of decoding BMW's weird naming structure by now, you know this means the X6 will be offered with a choice of 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder and twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engines. Fuel economy figures have not been released yet, but BMW says the new powertrains are more efficient than before, mated exclusively to an eight-speed automatic transmission regardless of cylinder count.
Look for the updated X6 to hit US showrooms this fall, following its debut this week in Paris. Expect pricing to be revealed closer to the model's on-sale date. Have a look below for all of the details.
2015 BMW i8: Autoblog Technology of the Year finalist
Wed, 19 Nov 2014
Traditionally, nominations for the Autoblog Technology of the Year award are earned for specific developments - a new-think powertrain, a uniquely developed material, a groundbreaking smartphone app, or what have you. In the case of BMW's marvelous i8, it so bristles with novel applied sciences and fresh features that we broke with tradition and nominated the entire car.
We just couldn't help ourselves. Oh, we could've focused on the i8's carbon-fiber monocoque, or its well-resolved plug-in-hybrid powertrain that incorporates a tiny 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine and an electric motor, or its seamless through-the-road all-wheel drive. This is a car that will even have frickin' laser beams for headlights - at least it will for our friends in Europe (and it will in the US, should our legislators ever catch up).
These are KBB's Top Ten Green Cars for 2015
Fri, Apr 17 2015For the second straight year, the Top Ten Green Cars list from KBB (i.e. the acronym for Kelley Blue Book) should have been retitled KBBimmer. That's because the BMW i3 electric vehicle has topped KBB's list of greenest production vehicles for two years running. That means that having the lowest purchase price wasn't that big of a factor in determining the winner. KBB releases its list about this time of year every year in honor of Earth Day and this year not only praised the Bimmer for its performance and single-charge range, but also noted that its factory is powered by wind turbines, which gives the car and the company a few more treehugger points. Meanwhile, KBB didn't exactly surprise a ton of people by including models like the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in (with a caveat that the next-generation version will be coming out next year), Nissan Leaf and Tesla Model S EVs and the Toyota Prius' four hybrid variants. Other somewhat lower-profile advanced-powertrain models to make the cut were the Honda Accord Hybrid, Toyota Camry Hybrid, Volkswagen e-Golf and Ford C-Max Hybrid. Rounding out the list was the Volkswagen Jetta TDI, the only diesel that KBB recommended as a Top Ten pick.
