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.

Nobody builds engines like BMW. Strong, sweet, smooth, responsive, effortless all the way to redline. Quick and beautiful transmission. Handles incrediblely with balance and agility. Quality, quality, that's what it's all about.

I purchased this car from a dealer in distress, they got a shipment of Z3's in December, 2000, they had snow drifts up to 12 feet and the Z3's were not selling . I got the car delivered to my home, 1300 miles away, for about 60 % of what the local dealers were getting for this car . In a little over 16 years of ownership, no problems yet . I get offers to sell the car every time I take it out . Got a notice to update my review, well I finally had a problem !! The subwoofer speaker failed, the foam between the paper cone, disintegrated into a powder after almost 18 years of desert heat . This speaker is an unusual size, from the looks of it only BMW has the correct size . I purchased one from Crutchfield that was close in size and had to make up an adapter plate to make it work . Not bad for 18 years of ownership . Update 07DEC22 coming up on 22 years of ownership, fluid leak at the windshield washer reservoir, cracked hose on the pump, replaced 6 inch section of hose . Rear window rubber trim came off the last time I washed the car. The plastic window still seems to be secure but this is to expected with living in the Phoenix area rubber and plastic live a hard life here
