Editors' Most Wanted Vehicles for 1999

Convertible $25,001 - $40,000

Winner: BMW Z3 2.8

Two seats, flawless handling, a snick-snick gearbox - sure we said those things about the Miata, but there's one huge difference that sets BMW's mini-roadster light years apart from any other two-seater on the planet: the velvety torque of BMW's 2.8-liter inline six-cylinder engine. Yeah, we know that the Miata boasts Jag Junior styling and feels light as a feather, while the Z3's bodywork actually looks out of proportion to some and feels as thick and beefy as any BMW made to date. But even the upscale Mercedes-Benz SLK runabout can't play in the 2.8 Z3's sandbox. With the wind in your hair, a six-second 0-60 sprint in a car this size plants a smile on your face that no four-cylinder car can match.
