Up for sale is my 2003 BMW Z4. Forget about a Corvette or 350Z, I looked into those until I realized that they're nothing special considering EVERYONE has those. This is a real head turner and not a day goes by that I do not get a complement on this car. 

It has a blue exterior and black interior. Mileage is approximately 60K and is slowly climbing everyday as I am still driving it. I've owned it for a year, since August 2012 and purchased at 45K miles. Previous owner was also a banker who purchased it close to new at 2K miles from an insurance auction and had it completely repaired. It was involved in a previous accident, but it was repaired so well, I could not find any damage repairs on it. Because of the accident it does have a Michigan Rebuilt title, but because of this, the price is also so low. Even with the rebuilt title, it can be financed (I financed it through my credit union) and can also have full coverage insurance (I do).

It is the 3.0i Sport, meaning it has the sport suspension, 17" rims with low profile tires, and "sport mode" button which definitely gives it more power. This is my summer daily driver, and I get 22mpg. Car has GPS navigation, CD player, heated seats, rain sensing wipers, and etc. Rather than having two vehicles (winter and summer), I decided to get a new all-weather vehicle, and looking to sell soon so I can transfer my insurance and plates to my new car. 

Known problems:
-Needs outside air temperature sensor for the air conditioner to work. Currently reads -40 degrees and air will not kick on at that low temp.
-Needs new switch on center console for convertible top. Previous owner had it completely serviced with new motors. The switch was working intermittently and has now failed.
-Check engine light due to emissions system leak. This does not affect drive-ability at all. When the car is fueled to the top of the tank, it creates a hard start condition. After the first start, it has no problems at all.
-Wear and tear from daily use (2 small dings on passenger door, 1 small ding on passenger quarter panel, one dime sized chip on windshield, wear on driver's seat bolster).
-Foggy headlights. These can be cleaned. Car could use a good detail.
-GPS screen pops up from the dash and sometimes gets stuck while coming up and down.

Besides those minor issues, the car runs and drives great. Engine and transmission are perfect. Oil doesn't burn, there are no knocks, ticks or etc. Transmission shifts perfectly with no hesitation. I use Mobil1 0w40 Euroblend full-synthetic with BMW OEM filter. E-mail me through the link above or call/text me at 734 Five One 6-2862.

Walk around video of the car. As you can see, it is BEAUTIFUL.

Jay Leno puts focus on some retro-inspired BMW bikes

Mon, 28 Jul 2014

Jay Leno puts eight wheels on display this week for Jay Leno's Garage from a quartet of retro-inspired BMW motorcycles. They are the creations of husband and wife team Larry and Carol Romestant, who build each one in their home garage.
Larry is a former aerospace engineer who loves BMW bikes, especially the K models. Now, he's combining his passion with a real talent for fabrication to build his own cycles with his wife. With Larry and Carol the only ones working on these projects, it takes them six to nine months to build each one. In addition to the old-school looks, the motorcycles are supposed to be a bit more user friendly than stock. For example, one of them ditches the standard five-speed gearbox in favor of a six-speed unit to be a little more comfy when cruising at high speeds.
Since there isn't enough time to take all four of them for a ride, Jay picks his favorite to test out on the open road. Scroll down to see which one he chooses.

BMW M1 really was the Ultimate Driving Machine

Thu, 29 May 2014

Life giving you lemons? Make lemonade. That's the spirit in Munich that lead to BMW producing the only mid-engined sports car in its 98-year history. The project resulted from a collaboration with Lamborghini (now owned, incidentally, by arch-rival Audi) to meet Group 4 homologation requirements. Lamborghini withdrew, the FIA changed its rules, but BMW built it anyway.
Arguably one of Giorgetto Giugiaro's finest designs, the M1 packed a 3.5-liter inline-six, driving 273 horsepower to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual. The Procar racing version turbocharged that output up to 850 hp and attracted the top drivers in a one-make F1 support race series.
Over the course of three years, the Bavarian automaker only built 456 examples of the M1, and for BMW enthusiasts, there's no vehicle more coveted. But don't take our word for it - let Petrolicious tell one noteworthy owner's tale in the video below.

BMW M4 Concept beckons the new golden child of M cars

Fri, 16 Aug 2013

Ushering in the next-generation of two-door M performance cars for BMW, the new M4 Concept was officially unveiled at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance last night after an unceremonious embargo leak yesterday afternoon. The reality of the fact that we will never again have a new M3 Coupe is a little easier to deal with after browsing the M4 Concept's sleek and sporty lines.
As was the case with the Concept 4 Series Coupe, we expect the this M4 to transition from concept car to production coupe with very few changes. Among the features we's bet against making it into production include the front splitter and the exhaust tips - both made from carbon fiber. Other notable details are the aero-shaped mirrors, the subtle M stripes on the carbon fiber roof and the 20-inch wheels exposing big six-piston from brakes. If it were up to us, we'd say bring this car to production as is - except for the paint color.
There is still no word on the M4's powertrain or if it will even offer a manual geabox, but we would imagine that we'll be seeing this car in production form, complete with all of those details at the LA Auto Show.
