1998 Bmw Z3 Roadster Convertible W/hardtop - Only 88k Miles! Automatic on 2040-cars
Dripping Springs, Texas, United States
|
I purchased from the original owner in 2013 and the following have been performed by me since:
- New head gasket - Head professionally machined by a local machine shop - New radiator, hoses, & plastic thermostat housing and rear plastic coolant 90 (a must for any BMW this age) - New spark plugs About the car: I purchased the car in 2013 from the original owner (a school teacher). The car had just been repainted a few months prior to my purchase. After doing so, they had the head gasket issue and did not want to invest more money in repairs. The car was purchased new at BMW of Austin. The interior is in good condition and I just ordered a brand new set of floor mats from BMW. The driver seat has some wear on the leather and the passenger seat is in very good condition. Tires are Michelin and in good amount of tread left on all. Features: - Keyless entry/alarm with BOTH factory keys and BOTH remotes - Optional computer display for average MPG, MPH, fuel range, etc. - Power seats, cruise, windows - CD changer in trunk and cassette player in day - FACTORY HARDTOP - valued at $2,500 to $3,000 from recent eBay sales INCLUDED Minor issues/notes: - As with many BMW's of this age, the odometer backlight is dim and it is hard to read the odometer reading in full sun, but it is fully functional and readable. - The back window in the convertible soft top has been removed and would need to be replaced if desired. I have included a new piece of convertible top clear plastic that can be used for this. I was quoted $500 from one upholstery shop owner to take the top off and sew in the clear vinyl. The cloth of the top is in good condition. Personally - If I drive with the top down it is only for a day or afternoon and then I put the hardtop back on. I am open to trades of equal or lesser value. If less, you will have to come up with the difference in cash. I am not interested in junk, but would consider a project vehicle. Call or email with questions. NO CALLS AFTER 9 PM please. |

2016 BMW X1 will be second model on company's front-drive platform
Fri, 08 Aug 2014BMW is putting a lot of its chips on the success of its forthcoming front-wheel drive models, and it's making a big bet on the company's future in hoping that customers will accept them. Its front-driving UKL platform is underpinning not just the current crop of Minis but a host of BMW vehicles too. The rollout starts with the 2 Series Active Tourer in Europe later this year. But the Bavarian brand confirms to Automotive News Europe that the next one is the X1 crossover, slated to come to Europe next June. It will also be joined by the X2 next summer, confirming earlier rumors about the fashionable CUV's existence.
As the previous spy photos suggest, the X1 is even smaller than the current model, and it supposedly uses the same crop of turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder and 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines as Mini. But according to Automotive News Europe, the little guy is getting an extended, three-row version for the US, Russia and China. Like with the X4 or X6, the X2 shares most of the mechanical parts with its more conventional-looking sibling but features sleeker styling.
To make all of these UKL-based models possible, BMW is sharing development among them as much as is practical. According to Automotive News Europe, the next generations of the Mini Countryman, Clubman, X1 and X2 share the same electrical systems, drivetrains and more. Adding in the Active Tourer and still mysterious Family Active Sports Tourer to the mix, and the result is a big gamble that needs to go Bimmer's way.
Bunny couldn't out hop a BMW M3 on-track
Mon, 15 Jul 2013Driving a car is a dangerous hobby, and not just because of other drivers or poor roads. Sometimes, it seems like even the wildlife is out to get you, as evidenced here, here, here, here and here. Now, we can add one more unfortunate car-versus-animal encounter to the tally.
Perhaps believing that this bright orange BMW M3 GTS was a very fast, very loud carrot, an unfortunate bunny leaped into its windshield in a brutal accident at a Polish racetrack. Considering the M3's speed at the time, 89 miles per hour, the passengers are lucky to be okay. Obviously, Bugs didn't make it.
The BMW isn't in such great shape, though. The windshield is in a bit of a state, with safety glass sprayed all over the passenger side of the cabin. There doesn't appear to be any sheetmetal damage, at least from what we can tell from the video. Although there isn't any blood, the hit is really hard. The initial point of impact is at 0:57. Check out the video below.
BMW 1 Series dead for 2014
Fri, 18 Oct 2013BMW is temporarily abandoning the increasingly competitive and popular compact luxury segment, as it's announced that its 1 Series Coupe and Convertible will be discontinued for the 2014 model year, marking an ignominious end to a line that spawned a pair of excellent high-performance models during its life. Production on the Coupe officially ended in August, while convertible production was taken offline in June.
And while we're mourning the loss of the 1 Series, we're left wondering about the status of its replacement, the 2 Series. That car, which we've already seen inside and out and know the specs on, is expected to make its debut at the 2014 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, although it's unclear just how quickly BMW will get it to showrooms. Assuming BMW doesn't have a bumper crop of already-built 2013 models to hold them over, that leaves Munich-based manufacturer somewhat vulnerable, particularly as Audi and Mercedes-Benz are both launching new models in the compact-premium space vacated by the 1 Series. Any delay in the arrival of the 2 Series could be bad news for BMW, especially if the public is receptive to the new Audi A3 and CLA-Class (early signs suggest that the baby Benz has traction).
In addition, BMW has made a number of changes across the rest of its lineup which are listed below in the official press release. Some of the notable changes, though, include a revised 445-horsepower twin-turbocharged V8 on the 5 Series, a limited-edition Frozen Brilliant White Edition for the 6 Series and the rollout of a new, touchpad-equipped version of iDrive on a number of BMW models.
