Honestly, I never thought I'd do this. I'm selling only to purchase a Z3 M Coupe. Classic Estoril Blue Metallic finish over Black Nappa Leather upholstery -- I've had my ///M for a little over one year now and it has been my pride and joy. It's my fourth BMW and I'm an enthusiast through and through. I work for a BMW Center, and it has been exclusively maintained there during my ownership. I wash the car obsessively, change the fluids obsessively, and maintain it obsessively - if you're looking for a Z3 M that's been loved, this is it. I take exceptional care of my cars. Most recent services include oil changes, guibo, shift shaft seal, brake fluid flush, valve cover gasket, spark plugs, left front wheel bearing, Rear Shock Mounts and the ever-important Z3 rear subframe reinforcement, to name a few. As an expensive service, the subframe reinforcement is incredibly important. The rear subframe is the Z3's Achilles heel, and over time, the differential will cause separation of the subframe and body -- I caught it before any issues developed, and did the service as a preventative measure.
The odometer currently reads 111,xxx miles. My Z3 M Roadster comes with heated seats, heated mirrors and a power convertible top. From the factory, it is equipped with 100% options. It comes with the stock staggered Roadstar wheels with good tires all around. It's equipped with the premium Harman/Kardon AM/FM/CD Stereo. It's a 5-Speed manual, matched to the 240hp & 236tq 3.2L. The blue convertible top has a little bit of wear as it is 13 years old. The rear window has no cracks and is in rather nice shape. The only aftermarket upgrade is a pair of Magnaflow 14815 mufflers which compliments the S52 motor extremely well. I'd really like to see it go to someone who will love it like I have. The buyer will be responsible for additional cost for shipping.

Audi to spend $17 billion to fight BMW
Sat, 29 Dec 2012It's no secret that VW Group, parent company to not only Volkswagen but also Audi, Bugatti, Bentley, Lamborghini, Porsche and Ducati brands sold in the US, is determined to become the world's largest automaker. Even more impressive is that VW is prepared to spend billions to make it happen.
With that comes word that VW Group will be spending $17 billion on its Audi brand over the next three years to push itself above rival BMW. The money will be invested in both vehicle development (including lightweight auto design and alternative powertrains) and facilities (including expansion in Hungary, China and new operations in Mexico). The luxury brand is focused on global manufacturing infrastructure.
Already Europe's best-selling luxury brand, Audi's objective is to overtake BMW by the end of the decade by selling more than two million cars per year (BMW is shooting for 1.54 million sales in 2013). If those objectives are met, VW Group should be on track to be the industry's volume leader by 2018.
2014 BMW 328d rated at 32/45 mpg
Wed, 31 Jul 2013BMW still hasn't released official fuel economy numbers for its diesel-powered 2014 328d, but now, those mileage ratings have been posted on the EPA's FuelEconomy.gov website. As expected, the 328d is quite an efficient little machine, with the rear-wheel-drive sedan good for 32 miles per gallon in the city and 45 mpg highway. That even bests the 30/42 mpg of the smaller Volkswagen Jetta TDI.
The last time BMW offered a diesel 3 Series in our market, it was the six-cylinder 335d, which - while mighty quick and excellent to drive - was only offered as a rear-wheel-drive sedan and was rated at 23 mpg city and 36 mpg highway. For 2014, BMW will offer the 328d with optional xDrive all-wheel drive, though that reduces the fuel economy numbers to 31/43 mpg. Beyond that, the BMW will even sell you a 328d xDrive wagon, which nets the same 31/43 mpg rating, according to FuelEconomy.gov.
Look for the 2014 BMW 328d to hit dealerships this fall, and when it launches, it will be the only diesel offering in its class (until the next Mercedes-Benz C-Class arrives, anyway). Lexus and Infiniti will offer hybrid versions of the IS and Q50, respectively, but we've always had a taste for torque, and the 328d's 2.0-liter engine with 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of twist shouldn't disappoint.
BMW i8 Spyder gets production nod
Wed, 18 Dec 2013BMW could be poised to expand its i8 range, beyond the hardtop version of the plug-in hybrid supercar. A report from Bimmerpost is claiming that the i8 Spyder, which we showed you in concept form at the 2012 Beijing Motor Show, will be heading to production.
The website claims the open-roof fuel-sipper was shown to BMW management last Friday as a production-intent model. Other than that, there's not a lot to tell here. The i8 Spyder should feature all the same mechanical and aesthetic features found on the i8 Coupe, just without the confining nature of a roof. It's unclear when we'll see a production i8 droptop make its debut, although this certainly strikes us as the kind of car that should arrive at the Geneva Motor Show.
While an i8 Spyder does seem like a logical leap for BMW's i sub-brand, we're going to keep this one filed under the rumors category until we hear more.
