  • Wonderful Little Car - 2000 BMW Z3
    By -

    As a mid-life crisis car, this vehicle stands out. People acost me everywhere with a nice car. In spite of all that, its simply a wonderful drive. Find a nice uncrowded country road on a nice day, put the top down and turn up the stereo. This will validate everything about getting it. Ive had mine since 2002 (its 2010 now), and I have no thought of selling it. Stay on top of maintenance (BMW service is expensive), in order to minimize theses costs and maximize utility and fun.

  • TURNING 10! - 2000 BMW Z3
    By -

    This was my first BRAND NEW Sports Car. She had only 3 miles on her when I drove it out of the dealership. It will be nearly 10 years together now and soon we will part ways! My only favorite times driving this car was on the weekends with the top down! Only because I had more room in the cock pit! It took about FIVE years and thousands of dollars for me to break in this car and keep out of the service department. Two AC compressors, CAMS, Radiator and more.

  • 2000 Z3 for me! - 2000 BMW Z3
    By -

    I purchased my Z3 last year and have loved driving it. The power is just right and the look is sweet. I have had no problems and the dealer takes great care of me. I thought it would cost more to own this car but it is about the same if you add up all the oil changes on a regular car. BMW does whatever it takes to make their owners happy. It has been a pleasure owning this car.

    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.

    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.

  • Its not an MG Midget - 2000 BMW Z3
    By -

    My first car was a 76 MG Midget. It wasnt fast, but it was 1800 lbs of light, nimble pure fun. Like the MG, it is small with a slightly claustrophobic interior and the top comes down. But, this is not a light toy, and weighs in at a thousand pounds heavier. It is reasonably quick, very responsive and just plain sexy. For a reasonably new car, it has had way too many mechanical problems, such as the heater fan breaking, and the seals all needing to be replaced so it would not leak. That being said, the car is lots of fun and well worth the money. This is a very refined true cloth top roadster. And its way cool to have heated side view mirrors.

    Fun to drive and classy looks. A real headturner. Just a beautiful looking sports car that stands out from the crowd. mfg11@aol.com

  • 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!

  • 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.
