Bmw Z3 Coupe on 2040-cars

US $10,800.00

Year:2000 Mileage:124855

Location:

Cincinnati, Ohio, United States

I found out my girlfriend is pregnant and we are expecting in August. So I now need to sell my baby to save and prepare for my soon- to-be new baby.

I am going to try to list everything I know about the car, what it needs, and what has been done to it.

You are looking at a 2000 z3 coupe. They made less than 5000 of these cars within four years.

I just spent $500 to have the water pump, coolant fan, and fan shroud replaced because the cold weather broke the fan shroud clips, causing the shroud to break the fan. I had it fixed just after going out to start the car because of the cold weather.

The story:

I purchased this car a little over three and a half years ago. I found it on eBay and flew out to Newark NJ to pick it up. The guy I purchased it from said it was a repossession from Chase and that the car had the seats and side door panels were stripped when he got it. So he put after market seats inside the car and found used inside door panels to be put back on. The seat belts do not work, not because there are no seat belt straps, but because the clip that attaches the harness to seat belt clips into is attached to OEM seats (see photos). It was my intention to replace the seats, so I could have proper functioning seat belts, but I never did. The brakes were really bad when I got the car and needed to be replaced, so I spent $1200 getting the car running smooth again.
Next, my girlfriend backed up into my car not seeing it, and her 5th wheel dented the hood of my car (insurance claim). When I took my car to the body shop (Orr's Auto Body Cincinnati) I had them fix the dent on the hood, paint the hood, and paint the front bumper. They noticed that the rims have been spray painted flat black and told me that they know a guy who can clean them up to look brand new for $250. I kept that in mind for a future date when I wanted to bring the car back to its beauty.

Next, the car has some dings on both doors (parking lots at the grocery ughhh) and a small scrape on the rear driver side bumper, another incident where the driver drove away while the car was parked.

Whenever I had the car serviced they used high viscosity oil purchased from the BMW dealership. Below is a link to the company that worked on the car. (Bavarian Motor Service)

I have had the brakes and rotors replaced, and new oxygen sensors installed.

The car is currently due for another servicing, and it’s starting to idle a little rough (my thoughts are because it’s winter)

The car has new tires installed and a lifetime tire warranty placed on the tires (half price for tires if any damage), with a 3 year alignment. TiresPlus says that the warranty is good for the purchaser/owner, however, you might be able to take the paperwork in for an alignment if need be, if you live in Cincinnati, I could also meet you at any of the locations, if they ask for an ID. Or I can provide you with one of my old school IDs.

AC recharge over the summer of 2013. Blows cold.

What the Car Needs:
1. There is a sound that recently started rattling, it sounds like it’s an exhaust issue. It doesn't do it all the time but has happened a few times recently. When I read the reviews for the car (3 years ago) I found that one z3 owner had to have exhaust work done around 120k miles, and their cost was 350$. Since there is a metal undercarriage that covers everything in sight, I am not able to just look to see if it’s a loose bolt or what. Since I am also a student, I haven't really had the money to invest into just having it looked at.

2. Car needs serviced.

3. The BMW emblem is missing from the hood of the car. You can purchase a new emblem from Amazon with free shipping for $5.98.

4. Center Cap Emblems, one is missing, the other three were spray painted black. You can purchase a set of four new emblems on Amazon with free shipping for $20.99.

5. OEM seats. They show up on ebay from time to time in the $400 to $800 range per set.

6. Minor body work

7. New windshield (currently has three small rock chips)

8. Interior blower motor needs looked into. Sometimes it works on all settings (1,2,3,4) and other times it only works on full blast. It works regardless...

The car is listed locally and may be taken off ebay at any time if its sold... Please call me if you have any questions. I am in class regularly so texting might be an easier form of communication.

2014 BMW 4 Series Coupe officially debuts, priced from $41,425*

Fri, 14 Jun 2013

Well, that didn't take long. Less than two hours after the first images of the 2014 BMW 4 Series Coupe leaked onto the Internet, we've been given the go-ahead to publish the whole kit and caboodle. And while we won't say we told you so, it looks as though the car's official details are standing true to our earlier predictions.
In other words, BMW will offer the 4 Series in 428i and 435i models, both of which can be had with xDrive all-wheel drive. Just like in the 3 Series, the 428i is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, good for 240 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque, and the 435i gets BMW's turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six making 300 hp and 300 lb-ft. In three of the four models, both a six-speed manual and eight-speed automatic transmission are available; the 428i xDrive can only be had with the auto 'box. The 428i (with rear-wheel drive, we assume) can hit 60 miles per hour in 5.7 seconds (though BMW doesn't specify with which transmission), and the 435i will do that same sprint in 5.3 seconds with the manual and five seconds flat with the eight-speed auto.
We've already dissected the 4 Series' visuals, but the numbers show just how different it is from the 3 Series sedan. The 4 Coupe is one-tenth of an inch longer overall, while riding on the same 110.6-inch wheelbase, is 0.6 inches wider, and has a roofline that's a full 2.7 inches closer to the ground. It looks sleek, incorporating BMW's new design language from the 3 Series with an overall profile that's similar to the larger 6 Series coupe.

M-fographic breaks down the history of BMW performance machinery

Fri, 18 Oct 2013

Few characters carry the kind of clout among performance enthusiasts as the letter M. For 35 years now, that one letter has adorned over 300,000 BMWs, each tuned to deliver a higher degree of performance than the stock models on which they're based.
The M division has worked up nearly 100 different models over the past third of a century, which can leave even the most expert among Bimmer fanatics bewildered. Fortunately British auto loan service Carfinance247 has commissioned this handy infographic to make sense of it all, and you can check it out below to see what the letter M really stands for.

Former BMW M boss and Maserati CEO killed in freak motorcycle accident

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

It's a tragic coincidence that on the same weekend the BMW M4 Coupe Concept was introduced in Monterey, one of the men most integral to BMW's M and Motorsports divisions, Karl-Heinz Kalbfell, was killed in England. Kalbfell, a vintage motorcycle enthusiast, was set to compete in the Lansdowne Classic Series at Brands Hatch and had an accident during a practice session. After going wide at Druids Corner and falling, he was hit by a competitor following close behind and died of his injuries after being transported to hospital.
Kalbfell, an engineer, began his career at BMW in 1977 in the communications department; a decade later he was chairman of BMW M GmbH, overseeing development of some of the cars responsible for the myth of M. In 1994 he was named chairman of BMW Motorsport, and his cap full of feathers includes getting the BMW V12 into the McLaren F1, getting the BMW V8 into two Morgan cars, along with developing BMW's Formula One engine and return to the sport. Not incidentally, he also assumed leadership of Project Rolls-Royce after BMW bought the British marque in 1998, which means he oversaw the Goodwood factory upfit and the creation of the Phantom.
He left Rolls-Royce for a brief stint at Fiat, heading Alfa Romeo and Maserati, then went into consulting for clients like Lotus and Paragon, who built the Artega GT. As Autocar notes, Kalbfell "had an abiding sense that customers needed to be attracted to cars by their aura and reputation, not just their engineering." He will be missed.
