As one of the lightest cars in its class, with 225HP and a 0-60 time of 5.3 seconds, the 2004 3.0i makes 41 more horsepower than the 2.5-liter model, is about 0.5 seconds quicker and costs $7,300 more (MSRP), yet its fuel economy is nearly identical (29 mpg highway, 21 mpg city) -- truly exceptional performance even by 2013 standards. Its 9.2 cubic feet of cargo space make it surprisingly practical for a roadster, and according to Consumer Reports and BMW service technicians, this generation of Z4 (2003-2008) is BMW's most reliable car. (Note: From 2006-2008, the low-end 2.5-liter model is renamed the "3.0i" and the higher-end model is called the "3.0si." So this 2004 3.0 is the equivalent of a 2006-2008 3.0si, and any "3.0i" in that range is actually a 2.5-liter.)
Foreign bidders are welcome; buyer is responsible for all fees and duties related to exporting vehicle from the US and shipping & importing to destination country.
"The Z4 boasts 0.91 g of stick at the skidpad... grips the road as surely as a Corvette or a Porsche Boxster S... and its electrically assisted steering is something akin to telepathic. It's as light as the steering in all 3-series cars, but it weights up nicely with speed." -- Car & Driver (Jan 2003)
"Hitting the highway, you are reminded that the BMW straight-6 is simply a classic engine -- turbine-smooth, free revving and quite torquey once the revs climb above about 2500 rpm. From there, it rips up to its 6500-rpm redline in a glassy surge of thrust. The 6-speed Getrag shifts with nice, mechanical precision... and in corners, the BMW is absolutely planted. A combination of high grip, good balance and flat weight transfer without body roll give the car a sure-footed, reassuring feel in rapid transitions." -- Road & Track (Jan 2003)

Behind the scenes of BMW's 'Drift Mob,' Part 1
Sat, 28 Jun 2014Generally speaking, marketing and journalism don't mix, but every now and then, what goes into the marketing of a car - the 2015 BMW M235i, in this case - is worth documenting. In that spirit, we took BMW up on its offer to bring us behind the scenes of its upcoming "drift mob" video, starring five red M235i coupes frolicking around a traffic circle in a major world city (BMW has asked us to be coy about which one so as not to blow its cover before the shoot).
The five drivers can all be considered legends of modern-day drifting and stunt driving: Rhys Millen, Samuel Hübinette, Dai Yoshihara, Rich Rutherford and Conrad Grunewald.
As the only US media outlet in attendance, Autoblog plans to follow up with a full story on the experience once BMW polishes and releases the video in a month or so. In the meantime, check out our photos of this epic practice session we captured on our first day hanging with the crew, and be sure to watch this space for more behind-the-scenes action.
Formula E gets wireless-charging BMW i8 safety car [w/video]
Tue, 26 Aug 2014Racing series typically select a safety car appropriate to the kinds of racecars for which they'll be setting the pace. So you might find a Mercedes SLS pacing a Formula One grand prix, for example, and you're more likely to find a BMW M4 on duty at a DTM race and a Chevy Camaro or SS on an oval speedway for a NASCAR or Indy race. It would only stand to reason, then, that the FIA Formula E Championship kicking off next month in Beijing would press a plug-in into service as its safety car. But the organizers didn't go for your run-of-the-mill Nissan Leaf or Toyota Prius.
No, the safety car for Formula E will be a BMW i8 specially modified for the occasion. As you can see from the video below, the hybrid sports car packs a full roll cage, racing buckets with harnesses, special communications systems and on-board fire extinguishers. But that's not all.
In partnership with technological partner Qualcomm, the Formula E support fleet - including two examples each of the i8 and i3 - will feature inductive charging. So while one is out on the track, or at least sitting at the end of the pit lane waiting to be deployed - the other will be charging wirelessly. The vehicles are still pending FIA approval, and only one has been outfitted with the Qualcomm Halo wireless charging system (with the others to be retrofitted later), but they were all on hand for the recent practice race at Donnington Park.
Audi leading rival BMW in worldwide luxury sales race
Tue, 11 Mar 2014If you thought competition among the German luxury automakers was hot before, it looks like things are just getting started. For the first two months of the year, Audi has sold more cars than BMW worldwide by just 383 cars.
Audi claims to have sold 242,400 vehicles through February, up 9.3 percent from last year, compared to 242,017 units from BMW, up 8.9 percent, in the same period. While the advantage is tiny, its implications could be huge because Bimmer has been the leader in the premium car segment for the last nine consecutive years. Mercedes-Benz lags behind them somewhat at 229,630 vehicles through February. According to Bloomberg, at this time last year Audi had sold 429 fewer cars than BMW.
The growth is all part of Volkswagen Group's goal to become the world's largest automaker. It currently ranks in second when its heavy truck businesses are considered. The German automotive giant also wants to be the world's leading premium carmaker. "Competition in the premium segment is more intense than ever," said Audi CEO Rupert Stadler to Bloomberg.
