My Z3 was in the shop about 20 some odd times. The problems ranged from leaking softtop, blown thermostat, busted sending unit, and so on. Fun to drive, and I love the look of the car!

A great car to show off in - performance or styling. I have the 17 in. wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport tires. It takes 25 mph curves at 55 with no loss of traction. 0 to 60 in 5.1 sec. with the 2.8 liter engine (don't get the 1.9L). Really now, is there a better looking convertible for sale today???

I’ve owned this car since 1998 and have loved every minute of it. Always starts up, never any engine troubles. Very dependable. She’s a beauty, and needs someone who wants to tinker and restore her minor cosmetic blemishes to her former glory. It is very difficult for me to part with her, but am moving to Vancouver, Washington, and all the rain and snow with no garage just isn’t feasible. She’s always been good to me.
