"We bought the Z3 new in 1996. We still own it and drive it on a daily basis. It has been the most trouble-free car I have ever owned. Over the past 17 years, I think we have had it in for repairs (other than regular maintenance) maybe 2-3 times. We are talking about trading it on a new car (only because of changes in our transportation needs) but we both hate to get rid of it. I doubt that I will be able to replace it with any thing else as fun to drive or as reliable."

"Owned 10 years and still enjoy almost everything about this car. I have kept it dealer maintained, which is not inexpensive. Very reliable and left me sitting only once....battery went dead. Buy one!"

"I am always amazed at the attention and comments that I receive when driving this beautiful M Roadster. I have been asked if it is a new car more then you can believe, It never disappoints me and performs as new with 138000 miles on the clock. Superior built by real craftsmen and inspectors. I hope to have this prize til I expire."

"I really enjoy driving this car, it does turn heads that's for sure,but you don't drive this car to do that, you drive it because you enjoy driving the car, and it the car enjoys being driven.I do appreciate the pickup,and the way it cruises down the road.Sporty car but needs a good sound system, nothing like a good sound system for a roadster.Great pickup and can outrun alot of cars except the new camero's.....lol.This car is lots of fun don't leave home without it."
