There’s a reason why this car was picked for. James Bond movie. And that is for how beautiful, sexy and attractive this car is. My car is 2.5i liter with the M package. Metallic dark grey and rides like baby with 123 thousand miles. Could not think of anything better to spend my money on. Too conclude every time I get in my Z3 my cheek bone goes back with a tremendous smile. Highly recommend this vehicle.

BMW Z3 2001 3.0L

I had a 2002 Z3 stick shift for four years the sold it ($14k) and purchased a 1999 Porsche 911 Tiptronic. Mistake! I then found a 2001 Z3 with only 26K miles and at $12K. Bought it and sold the 911. Not a mistake! The Z3 is just an absolute charm to drive, fast, great handling, performance without all the nonsense. A classic sports car from a bygone era. I have had the car two years and there has not been one single issue with it. Brilliant...

I bought my 2001 Z3 3.0 a month ago & have loved every minute of it. Very nice ride & comfort for a roadster. The I6 is very quick & responsive. Very tight and solid ride with no rattles. Averaging about 24 mpg mixed highway and city. Very quiet for a convertible. Top is very tight.

BMW's low profile, snearing, snarling front end is what attracted me to the Z3 model. With it's flared wheelwells, shark-gill slits and flattend eyebrow headlamps it just speaks motion. After two Corvettes (a 1970, and a 1980), the Z3 had to perform to keep my interest. WOW! Does it perform. With the 3.0 liter engine and AUTOstick tranny, full power burnouts are the norm with the DSC in the off position. The in-line SIX is both smooth and linear, it pulls right from idle and revs quickly. This car is by far the most FUN I've ever had out on the road. And, it turns heads where ever I go with it. Probably the best bang for the buck in sportscar driving! Try on a Z3 for yourself.

This car is so much fun to drive, my wife refers to it´s economy as "smiles per gallon". It has the feel of the road and agility of a sports car you would expect,but still rides like a much bigger car. There is no rough ride or road noise like you get from a Miata. It looks so damn nice parked in my yard it makes me smile just looking at it.
