  • Z3 - fun, reliable... lots of smiles - 2000 BMW Z3
    By -

    Ive thoroughly enjoyed the 2000 2.8 liter Z3 - great performance (196hp - but whats really nice is lots of torque). Its my daily driver - comfortable (Im 61" 225lbs.) with more leg room than my full size Toyota. The car is lot of fun to drive, the only aftermarket item Ive bought is a strut tower brace to dampen body roll whenIm hammering through curves.

  • 2000 Z3 2.3 - 2000 BMW Z3
    By -

    Bought my 2000 Z3 2.3 Roadster in November 02. Mine is a 5 speed (dont even think about buying this car with an auto transmission, takes the soul right out of a roadster). This car is awsome. It is a blast to drive and gets 2nd looks everywhere. I had some trepidaton at buying a 2.3 model rather than a larger engine model but the 2.3 is plenty for me. If you are considering this car, pull the trigger and join the Z3 family. You can spot us by the gleam in our eye and smile on our face!

  • Best Car Ive Ever Owned - 2000 BMW Z3
    By -

    Great handling, high end torque, and brakes, so I am now prone to driving at excessive speeds. Great fun on winding roads. Sometimes I dont believe the speedometer the car feels so solid. Mechanically almost perfect, only service has been scheduled variety so far. Real easy to pass on 2-lane roads. Love the automatic trans which adapts to driving style, engine redlines before trans shifts when accelerating aggresively. I am more concerned about being rear ended in panic stopping situations the brakes are so good. No rattles or squeeks. Dealer was wrong about trunk, however, golf clubs do fit! Best car I have ever owned, by far.

  • Total Joy - 2000 BMW Z3
    By -

    I still have not had to take the car in for service, not even an oil change. I have driven it over 100 MPH and it handles great.

  • A joy to drive - 2000 BMW Z3
    By -

    This car is simply a joy to drive in every aspect. It has great power, handles perfectly and has a very sex/fun look to it. If you like to drive this is the car for you.

  • Z3 2.5 - 2000 BMW Z3
    By -

    This is the greatest car I have ever owned. Cannot see driving anything else.

  • Too many times in service - 2000 BMW Z3
    By -

    This car was the dream of my life until I owned it. GREAT car to drive, but went in the shop over 20 times in the 2.5 years I owned it with non-engine problems (AC, Power windows, shift knob, clutch, etc). Some problems were the car and some were the dealership. Spent so many days in the shop that I ended up trading it in last week for a NON BMW. No more BMWs for me. It was a sad day when my dream came to an end.

  • Z3 fun - 2000 BMW Z3
    By -

    BMW really hit a niche with the Z3. Fun to go anywhere in this car.

  • The most enjoyable car I ever had - 2000 BMW Z3
    By -

    Its so much fun getting into this car, start the engine hear it start up right away, the 6-Cylinder humm, backing out of a space is easy, the way it handles is great, it hugs the road, ... just all in all a fun vehicle.

  • Bulletproof - 2000 BMW Z3
    By -

    After nearly 3 years and only ONE oil change, Im finishing up my FIRST set of tires! This has ended up being the most reliable and cheapest to own car I have ever had. The resales assure me of only a couple of thousand per year to own. Undoubtedly one of the most FUN cars around to drive. Handles and feels great. Gets looks everywhere I go, I cant help but smile.
