    In one word "GREAT"

  • Best car Ive ever owned! - 2002 BMW Z3
    By -

    My husband and I have always purchased GM vehicles in the past, but after owning our BMW and being so pleased with everything from the dealership to the overall performance and styling. Well most likely never own another GM product. Every GM car Ive owned the vehicle had a recurring problem that the dealerships (note plural: dealerships) could not fix. Frustrating!!! Anyway, we love our BMW and will purchase another for my husband to drive!!!

    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.

  • Fun! Fun! Fun! - 2002 BMW Z3

    I bought my Z-3 3.0 (sport package) a couple of months ago and I love it. I am a dyed-in-the-wool BMW owner with this being the 7th that Ive owned. This car is fast, sporty, gets lots of looks and positive comments and blasting around on backroads and even around town is a great deal of fun. Ride is good, handling is solid and the engine and transmission (manual) are an absolute joy. It runs great and handles very well indeed. If I had know it would be this much fun I would have bought one long ago. Just wish it was cooler in Phoenix! I fit fine in it and Im 61" and 230 pounds.

    Awesome looking car that really turns heads. Im glad I got the 3.0 liter because I wouldnt want anything slower. Its not real fast but at least I wont kill myself. The front and rear driver side, driving lights went out after about 350 miles of use. I paid a $995 for a factory 6 CD Changer which is ridiculous but I wanted everything to be stock. I was quite surprised that the oil only needs to be changed every 15,000 miles. All the maintenance is included for 3 years at no cost as well. Mine has a beige interior and I wanted a black interior at first, but people warned me about how the hot seats would get since its a convertible.

  • A topless wonder!! - 2002 BMW Z3

    Bought it used with 3800 miles on it. Has been used for 1 1/2 yrs with total enjoyment. I love this car and keep it garaged and cleaned off after every use. It now has 18000 miles and is still as good as new, a real dream car.

  • The Most Fun Roadster Yet - 2002 BMW Z3
    By -

    This car is amazing! I bought the 2.5 with about every option which brought the price up to 36K, but it was worth every penny. The steptronic automatic transmission is very smooth in normal mode, and acts like a manual when in sport mode. The cornering is great and the ride is very smooth for a smaller car. As you ride the curvy mountain roads, you want to push it to the max. This roadster is more fun to drive than any I have had.

  • A Bang for your Bucks - 2002 BMW Z3

    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.

  • It should be in the sports car category - 2002 BMW Z3
    By -

    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 cant get use to Boxsters hydralic clutch. Its 3 times better than the weak MR2 Spyder or the S2000.

  • An economical, yet sporty roadster - 2002 BMW Z3
    By -

    Bought used, I got a great deal on my 2000 2.3 Z3. On sunny days there is nothing like this great performing car, especially on winding 2-lane roads. It accelerates, brakes, and handles like sporting cars twice its price. The interior is very roomy and comfortable, and its ergonomics are second to none. Everyone should have a Z3 in their garage.
