First Sports Car
I had always wanted to own a Corvette, but when I reached the point where I had the cash to buy a sports car I opted for a BMW. My decision was driven by BMW's reputation for quality engineering and workmanship. Having owned a couple of BMW motorcycles and having ridden them from coast to coast and border to border more than once, I figured that a Z3 had to be a rugged machine if it was built like the motorcycles that roll out of the BMW factory. Driving a Z3 is just as much fun as riding a motorcycle and you get a lot more respect. BMW did a fantastic job of sculpting the sheet metal -- the car does attract attention where ever you drive it. I'll take my Z3 over a 'Vette any day.
The day I bought my Z3
I bought it in 1998. If I had a choice I would without a doubt do it again!!! when I pulled in our drive, my neighbors ran over and ask if I had won the Lottery! I did not tell them That the total price out the door from the dealership tax etc etc was $30,040.00. l loved the car then and I still do. I am am 81 years old and my Z3 is 19 years old. Pete Hadler Requested Update - I took the Z3 out two days ago on May 7. We had two feet of snow with ten foot drifts several weeks ago! We live in Northern Wisconsin ten miles from the U.P. This was the latest that I every took my first drive of the Spring!! It is so much fun to drive a great handling automobile!! I enjoy driving the Z3 as much as I did twenty years ago! It is a great automobile. It's color is Atlantic Blue and is the same as The James Bond Car in the movie in 1998.

Hot stuff
This is a jazzy car. It looks more like a cartoon car from Roger Rabbit, than a street vehicle. Lows, fuel economy, tired back window. Highs, ride, look, reliability.
