A Bang for your Bucks
It is the best sports convertible for your money. I test drove and priced S2000, Boxster, Miata, SLK, MR2, and Spyder. This car rates #1 in my $/ (fun*performance) index. I got a great deal at $25,800; a basic model with no option in classic red/black color scheme. Great performance; good torque at any rpm.
Not quite a sports car
My Z3 runs great and has been very reliable, BUT when the finish peeled off the wheels BMW told me the warranty only covers if the wheels don't go round. The seats move forward and back as I speed up or slow down. I did have an Austin Healy in the 60s and this car does not measure up. The shifter gating is vague, the seats are not comfortable for any distance (I guess that is why I never need to worry about fuel range), the interior fittings are always falling apart. Even the logo washes off of the emblems. When I have to wait SIX WEEKS for a ABS sensor that I cannot drive without I am not happy. I can get parts for My TR8 quicker and that is more fun to drive.

Sweet little car!
Bought it used with 19,000 miles [now has 47,000]. Has been great on gas mileage, about 23-24 MPG. It must have highest octane or it coughs alot! Back window seems fragile; scratched despite putting a towel in the fold when I open the top. BIG problem however with the radio code; replaced battery, and radio locked. Got code from BMW dealer; have never been able to reset and get radio/CD to work, despite following all instructions. Also door metal seems fragile; gets tiny dents so easily that I now park far away from other cars. Glove compartment is badly designed; stuff falls down and out when opened, no edge on it. Otherwise good looker with great performance! So fun with top down!
First Impressions
Bought mine yesterday after looking for a month. Gorgeous shape and excellent ride. Power of 3.0 worth it over 2.5. Definitely looking forward to having some serious fun with this car.
It should be in the sports car category
Althought, it is luxurious, I would classify it under sports convertible category. In everyday street driving, I think it outperforms Boxsters due to its good low-end torque. It is more fun to drive. I just can't get use to Boxster's hydralic clutch. It's 3 times better than the weak MR2 Spyder or the S2000.
