  • A dream come true - 2000 BMW Z3

    Im finally a BOND girl! After 8 long years of wait, this is the ride of my life! The DSC, oh my and thank God, corrects my mistakes when going a bit too fast around the corners. The 2.3 barely keeps me out of traffic court! It seems everyone wants to race even when Im behavin... and Im finally getting used to the jealousy factor.

    Women seem to love this car. I get "nice car" comments from women all the time. A friend of mine has a porsche... and he said he only gets that comment from guys. If I only had this car when I was 19 and still single. Oh well. Even without the fun performance of this car, the sheer enjoyment of being in traffic with the top down on a beautiful summer day is priceless. Makes traffic less painful.

    This was my first new car, my first real sports car and I love it. It get good gas mileage mid-20s and really good performance 60s in 5 seconds and 1/4 in 14-seconds. Oh yeah, my other car is a BMW 330i and a TOyota Tacoma 4dr 4wd truck.

    This is a beautiful convertible which drives and handles beautifully. It has lots of power and grips the road well.

    Except for chronically scrubbing the front spoiler when parking, Ive never had a moment to question my decision to acquire this car - considered the Boxster, but chose the Z3. The 2.3 has great balance, exhilerating performance and sounds great. My wife gets looked at every time she drives it (which is why she lets me keep it). Every bad day gets better when I climb behind the wheel. Itll have 15k miles on it this month (time for the first oil change) and, although I hate to put this in writing, there has never been a mechanical issue of any kind. Get in. Sit down. Turn the key and off you go - solid as a rock n quick.

    I love love love this car but it is killing me with maintenance costs! Owning this car has been like having two car payments with the inevitable trips to the shop every 6 weeks. But she is solid, nimble, attractive, powerful and above all, fun! Shes my dream girl, but sometimes theres a lot to be said for the frumpy, low- maintenance girl next door. If you can afford the upkeep, this car is pure joy.

    I drive a lot and tend to push cars to the max. The z3 has held up amazingly well. Other than some early "service engine" light issues which required 10+ trips to the dealership in the first 3mo of ownership, I have no complaints. The engine in this car is a beautiful thing. For the price, you cannot find more of a head-turner. I dont recommend BMWs CPO program. But seriously this is one of the most fun to drive cars ever made. And talk about taking turns! Watch out on tires for this car as they run right around 200 a piece. Also, replace the crappy sound system. Its worth it and makes high speed trips with road noise all the more enjoyable.

  • Relatively Rare and FUN! - 2000 BMW Z3
    By -

    Ive owned alot of cars including a Porsche 944, but this has to be my favorite! This little coupe gets a consistant 30 MPG and is a hoot to drive. It handles like a go cart in the twisties and has plenty of power. Unlike the convertible, you can actually pack a weekends worth of gear in the back- or a weeks worth of groceries if thats what you need...did I mention that its FUN TO DRIVE?!?!

    Had my 2.3 roadster for 1 year. Full Sport package and every option. Love it. Used to hate Z3s before I drove a six cylinder model. Its quick, and drives like a go kart, but it feels substantial. BMW makes great cars. The steering and shifter are perfect. No problems so far.

  • LT2s Z3 - 2000 BMW Z3

    Beautiful car in all aspects. Tremendously fun to drive. Plenty of power, corners like its on rails. Very comfortable, plenty of leg room. Youll fall in love with one.
