2001 Bmw Z3 Roadster Convertible 2-door 3.0l on 2040-cars
Dresden, Maine, United States
Condition: New paint on front bonnet. Had minor damage which has been repaired to driver's side engine vent area. I took the opportunity to repaint the entire hood and it came out sparkling. This is a very good looking car which gets lots of attention, especially since it looks like the same one used in the James Bond film that made it so famous. The DSC (dynamic stability control) does not seem to have any effect when driving, so it may not engage. Power windows are in need of lubrication maintenance and go up and down with a little manual assistance now. Power assist on the convertible top motor is not working and has not worked since I bought the car 6 years ago. The roof is not heavy so there is no reason to use a motor to put the roof up or down. The boot cover was also missing when I purchased the car. You can buy them for about $200. There is minor damage to the passenger seat leather where the seam separated at the cushion corner near the door, about three inches, currently covered with a strip of black tape. The leather looks like faux ostrich to me, but I am not sure. The trim molding has a small two inch split near the windshield in the very center. Near the side glass the dash material has come unglued slightly due to the heat. Neither of these things are very noticeable. The stereo is not original, and the subwoofer has been replaced in the center console, as these often wear out. The tires are in good shape, but have been used one season. This car has always been covered, stored and well-cared for. |

BMW maintenance plan no longer transferrable to 2nd owner
Tue, 12 Aug 2014One of the best innovations in car buying in recent years is the rise of no-cost scheduled maintenance programs. Many people feel really anxious about taking their car in for service, and these deals help mitigate that somewhat. Obviously, it's not free for automakers to implement the offers, and now BMW is altering the way its four-year, 50,000-mile Maintenance Program works for some owners. "To keep such an offer sustainable we had to make a change," said Kenn Sparks, Manager of Business Communications at BMW North America, to Autoblog via email.
The original person to buy or lease the model isn't going to see any difference, but the program is no longer transferable to a second owner, unless that person is in the owners household. Those people include includes parents, siblings, grandparents and grandchildren, in addition to someone like a spouse or children. The original owner just has to advise BMW of new user. "The program change will affect 2nd owners and for them BMW is introducing an optional full-maintenance product that covers the vehicle up to 100,000 miles," said Sparks.

BMW i3 to start at $41,350*
Mon, 22 Jul 2013With a week to go before the global debut of the BMW i3, BMW has announced pricing for its first-ever production electric vehicle. The all-electric version of the i3 goes on sale in the second quarter of next year with a starting price of $41,350 (*not including $925 for destination nor any applicable government tax credits).
Some of the pricing elements for the i3 that BMW continues to withhold are the cost of the model using a gasoline motorcycle engine as a range-extending generator, or that of the DC Fast Charge option. This latter feature will allow the i3's depleted lithium-ion battery pack to get an 80 percent charge in just 20 minutes; for comparison's sake, the DC quick charge feature is a $750 option on the 2014 Chevy Spark EV.
Sure, we've already driven the BMW i3, but the production version of the BMW EV - promising the interior space of a BMW 3 Series - will be unveiled next week at simultaneous ceremonies in New York, London and Beijing. Scroll down for BMW's brief press blast regarding its upcoming i3.
Reveal of next-gen BMW 7 Series set for June 10
Wed, Jun 3 2015Executive vice presidents of the world, your next sedan is debuting in just a few days. BMW is finally taking the wraps off the next-gen 7 Series on June 10, and the Bavarian brand's teaser video provides a few early hints about the high-class model. Highlighting a 750Li, the camera in the teaser swoops around the sedan to show off its laser headlights. The badge for BMW's Carbon Core also gets some of the limelight here to proclaim the extensive use of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic. This clip doesn't give much more away, though. However, BMW has already spilled the beans about some of the other futuristic features for the new 7 Series in an earlier tease. The sedan is essentially a rolling technological showcase and offers functions like remote-controlled parking that's run from the key fob. Inside, using the infotainment system is possible with three-dimensional gesture control by waving your hand in the air in the right area. The extensive amount of CFRP in the passenger cell also helps save 287 pounds over the previous generation. If buyers are really looking for opulence, they can also reportedly order a massive, panoramic glass roof and a leather-covered engine cover. Expect a full rundown of all of the 7 Series' lavish features when the sedan debuts.
