Used BMW Z3

Great Roadster

By c2far (Newburgh, N.Y.) on Tuesday, April 22, 2008

"" Out of all the cars i've owned, this one is by far the most fun to drive. I have over 40k miles on it and it has never given me one problem, although storage space for traveling is a bit tight ,the ride and handling out weigh that issue. I own the 2001 3.0i and this model is quick and handles curves like a dream. This is the only vehicle that i have owned that continues to get compliments every time i take it out of the garage, I can't speak about how it handles in the rain and snow, I only take it out with the top down on those "convertible" day's.I will be giving this one to my son one day, great job BMW !!!""

Classic styling, and fun to drive

By dchickles (San Jose, CA) on Wednesday, February 27, 2008

"Still fun to drive after owning the car (97 2.8 roadster) for 11 years. We still get complements on the styling. It's been very reliable mechanically, though some aesthetics haven't worn so well. Problem areas include: glove box rattles, plastic center console, plastic rear window, and a flaky display on the radio. These are all very minor issues considering the whole vehicle, and if you do some internet searches you'll find simple fixes for many of them. Overall, I highly recommend the car. Get the 2.8 or 3.0 liter inline 6 if you can. The difference in torque is substantial."

unique and fun, love it

By cbcman (SoCal) on Sunday, April 13, 2008

"Got the car with about 7k miles and now has almost 60K. It still puts a smile on my face when i drive it. it has been quite reliable with very little maintenance required. I'm still getting about 25 mpg combined city & hwy. driver's side pwr window had problems but was fixed under warranty. Great car to drive with awesome performance but not too comfortable on long trips."
