Never Selling It !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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 .

First BMW
I recently bought and certified this car. This is an ultimate driving machine. Not only does it run and feel like a roadster should, it comes with the looks and ladies too.
Love My 3.0i
It just snowed about 2" and the drive home was great. OEM Dunlops and DSC kept the car on the road with no issues. I tried turning the DSC off and nearly ended up in a ditch, I can't imagine driving in slick condtions without DSC. The top is very tight, no leaks, even when parked outside in blowing snow. 2 speed seat heaters work very well, just when it feels like 'HI' is too much, the seat has automatically turned the heat to 'LOW'.
fun and exciting
A real drivers roadster.Push it hard,enjoy the fel of a great engine,and just what a roadster should be.This car makes me smile big time.
