2000 BMW Z3 2.3 2dr Convertible
I love love love this car but it is killing me with maintenance costs! Owning this car has been like having two car payments with the inevitable trips to the shop every 6 weeks. But she is solid, nimble, attractive, powerful and above all, fun! She's my dream girl, but sometimes there's a lot to be said for the frumpy, low- maintenance girl next door. If you can afford the upkeep, this car is pure joy.
The engine. Sometimes, I like to just drive it around enclosed parking garages so I listen its throaty echoes all around me.
Overall mechanical quality. I'm not asking for a Honda, just something that doesn't cost me an extra $250 every month. Plastic window is like looking through a beach towel.
