1999 BMW M Roadster Estorilblau-Metallic 2 owner car 77128 miles Reliable S52 M engine (not the hand grenade S54 M engine) Dinan Stage 2 chip with Cold Air Intake and front camber truss Accident Free - Clean Car Fax Adult Owned Garage Kept 19 inch wheels Comes with extra set of 18 inch wheels and tires BMW Hard Top option ($1,900.00), with BMW storage cover and BMW tonneau cover I will assist with inspection (if desired) and shipping I have 100% satisfaction rating with eBay and plan on keeping it. Please don't hesitate to contact me for more information, pictures, references, questions or just to chat about this M roadster. This M Roadster is very well sorted, outstanding condition, mechanically and cosmetically. The new suspension makes this car handles like it is on rails; Dinan stage 2 upgrade yields F1 like exhaust tone, power increase from 5,000 rpm to 6800 rpm is incredible; power top is in excellent shape; tires are fresh with plenty of rubber. 1st owner was an exotic car collector; car was serviced at BMW dealers in the greater Chicago area. He died of metastatic melanoma at a young age in 2011. The car apparently was not driven much in 2010-2011. His good friend obtained the car in 2012 as part of the estate and moved to Texas. He sold the car to me and at that time he noted despite having the transmission shift pins replaced and clutch replaced, the M roadster was still hard to shift. @ 74395 miles May2012 New front and rear struts, bushings, control arm bushings, front sway bar link left, water pump, slotted high performance front &rear rotors and pads, thermostat, glove box support upgrade & 4 wheel alignment I drove the car for about 2 months, noted it ran smooth, had mega power, but it shifted with difficulty. Inspection at Speirs Automotive Engineering revealed terminal transmission requiring replacement. If you're a car nut like me, you are familiar with this situation...once you’re in there, you don’t want to have to work on it again, so… @75182 miles August 2012 Replaced transmission (donor from Bavarian Auto, 24,000 mile California car, 6 months warranty), UUC Stage 2 M5 clutch conversion & lightweight flywheel, throw out bearing,clutch master cylinder, clutch slave cylinder, hoses, engine mounts, shift lever bushings, release arm spring, flex disc, drive shaft , replaced differential (donor from Bavarian Auto, 24,000 mile California car, 6 month warranty), transmission fluid, differential fluid, service A/C system, Freon,exhaust gaskets, hangers…total cost $4,678,92 In anticipation of the next scheduled maintenance interval, it comes with new idler pulley, belt tensioner pulley, hydraulic accessory belttensioner assembly, accessory belt, A/C drive belt & A/C belt tensioner If your state requires catalytic convert inspection, you mayneed to replace the catalytic converter. It was gutted by the original owner @the time of the Dinan upgrade; it looks stock from the outside. After market catalytic converter is available from ECS tuning for $251.71 (http://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-Z3-M_Roadster-S54_3.2L/ES2063872/) Only cosmetic issues are the following: BMW trunk emblem has clear coat breakdown, right front bumper on the top surface in front of the headlight has a patch of clear coat fade, steering wheel rubber air bag cover is oxidized slightly (steeringwheel leather is in excellent shape), wheels have mild clear coat worming addendum 05.21.13: thank you for your interest in my 1999 BMW M Roadster; yes the extra set of 18 inch wheels have good rubber on the rears, but the front tires need replacing. All 4 are true/straight. Cheers! Tom

Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos
Thu, 12 Dec 2013With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.
2014 BMW X5 doesn't upset the formula
Wed, 29 May 2013BMW has unveiled the 2014 X5, and fans of the company's CUV will find plenty familiar in the machine. The biggest change to the recipe comes in the form of the X5 sDrive35i, which is the first rear-wheel drive version of the high-riding five-door to date. Buyers will, of course, continue to be able to opt for all-wheel drive, and both models will get their thrust from a 3.0-liter, turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine. That powerplant makes 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque and is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. BMW says the combination is good enough to get the SUV to 60 miles per hour in around 6.2 seconds.
Those who require more thrust can step up to the more potent X5 xDrive50i with its twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine. Drivers get to enjoy an extra 45 hp over the previous model, with final output up to 445 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an eight-speed automatic of its own, the engine can hustle the big X5 to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds.
The 2014 BMW xDrive35d continues to offer diesel power, though output has dropped 10 horsepower to 255 hp and 413 lb-ft of torque. Even so, BMW says the X5 diesel will be just as quick or quicker than the 2013 model. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
Audi investing $30.3 billion through 2018 for product expansion
Sun, 29 Dec 2013How does Audi plan to reach two million units in annual sales and pay for the 11 new models it's adding to its lineup - an expansion that may include models named SQ2, Q9 and F-Tron? By increasing its investment to 22 billion euros ($30.3 billion US) between now and 2018. That figure represents an increase of about 500 million euros over the previously planned outlay, according to a report by Automotive News, and that could be due to Audi wishing to goad the momentum that pushed it to 1.5 million annual sales two years ahead of schedule.
It's also about staving off the challenges from BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Now that BMW has been able to turn some of its attention away from its "i" series of Megacity cars, it will reportedly spend more than planned in 2014 as it continues the rollout of ten all-new vehicles and 15 new-generation vehicles through the end of next year. Mercedes, having been dropped to third in the sales race, is preparing to add 13 new cars over the next six years.
Audi's money is going into technology, into product like the next-generation TT and the Q1 and production expansions and upgrades all over the world. The expenditure represents just under a fourth of Volkswagen's 84.2 billion-euro ($115.7 US) outlay devoted to taking the number-one global automaker title away from General Motors and Toyota by 2018.
