1999 2.5 "actually"
Even though my car says it 2.3 liter is a 2.5 liter it is very reliable very strong and it's given zero problems with 165000 miles on it. If anything I have had more Corvette Porsches Mercedes transandes Camaros BMW 3 Series M Series 6 Series 5 Series and one 7:40 that I love however this little whippersnapper outdoes them all quite possibly the best car I've ever owned as far as all around reliability looks compliments given ease-of-use and maintenance as far as cost repairs is virtually nonexistent. If you want one of the better looking better driving solid feeling sporty, quick little cars on the highway today by yourself a twenty-year-old Z3 and consider yourself lucky that you found one for under $10,000 and you've done something worth celebrating. These cars just don't fall off trees

A Sportscar for the real world
If you can and do push this car to it's limits on the street, you are driving the wrong car in the wrong place. If you want a car that looks great , makes you feel good every time you drive it,and has the comfort for a long trip,then this is the one. The inline six will pull strong in any gear so shifting is almost optional. The car stops - now - without being grabby. I have had no problems in 22k miles. We just drove the BlueRidge Parkway, I think the road was made for the Z3.

Individual style flawless performance
Z3's give a great modern interpretation of a classic roadster. We all know how they look so Im not going to talk about that. With 70,000 miles of New England driving I can say I have had few problems. I bought my 2.3 from lease trade in. My dealer replaced the front control arms after I test drove the car. I noticed nothing wrong in the test drive so Im not sure why they replaced them but I guess I can just be happy they did. The only other item was the air bag light came on at about 55,000 miles and to turn it off the seat belt receptacle needed to be replace for $400. The rest has been change oil and filers and brakes just normal maintenance
