Bought a 1998 BMW Z3 Roadster with the 2.8 six and automatic transmission. Flawless built quality, strong flexible engine, unmatched reliabilty (My Porsche has been back to the dealership three times for "repairs" since I've owned the BMW. The only problem with this car is I cant get it away from my wife!

This car is awesome! I purchased the M Roadster version of the Z3 which includes more horsepower(240hp) with a slightly larger 6 cyl. engine and a sportier suspension. The car drives and handles amazingly as if you are glued to the road. The performance is excellent with one flaw being the fast reving when your hard on the gas.the gas milage is decent when your not hard on the driving. The only problem I have had is the amount of room in the cockpit area. Movement is limited but that's what you expect with a 2 seat roadster. The two-tone black and blue leather interior is beautiful and goes very well with the silver paint. If you're looking for a Z3 but want a little more, check out the M!

My wife and I took our 1998 Z cross country and back racking up about 8500 miles. the ride was awesome the gas mileage was between 30 and 39 mpg and the handling was spectacular! Took it on the Dragon's Tail and had the time of our lives. We love this car and with proper maintenance we look forward to more trips like this for years to come.

I bought this car, because of it's looks and the price was fantastic!!! I love this car but, let me prequalify, my issues should be more with the previous owner than the manufacturer. The side window gaskets leak something terrible! So much so that the driver's side floor board is soft and spongy. The person that had changed their oil had left the small oil filter gasket in the filter housing on several occasions which resulted in the rings wearing out with time and crumbling into small bits all through the system and developing in a nasty oil leak and cost over $600.00 to fix. The hoses pop off for no apparent reason but, these do not detract from this beautiful car, in my opinion.

What a HOOT!!! It's got 160K miles on it. I purchased it as a "toy" and not a daily driver (although I find myself driving it more often than not). I'm 6'3" and about 260 and I have ZERO problems fitting into the car!! Now, I will say that because I'm "long waisted" in that most of my height is from my waist up...with the top up I have to crane my neck to keep from bashing my head on the convertible top...but with the top down? NO problem!! I certainly would recommend one if you find one that's clean. Used prices are MUCH cheaper than Honda S2000's. The performance on the 1.9 is lackluster but it's in essence a motorcycle engine!! Buy you a Bimmer!! The Z3 is fun to drive!! Even with a 5 speed!!!
