  Quite a ride. Worth the coin. - 2000 BMW Z3
  By stevie63 - November 26 - 11:27 pm

  Bought the car after servicing it for a client for ten yrs. What a great,great car. Reliable,fun,light, well made. I did pop for a Shark Injector plug in performance module. It was WELL worth the money. The M52TU benefited well from the upgrades. In short,fun and rewarding to drive and own.

  Update of 2002 Review - 2000 BMW Z3
  By GaryA - June 16 - 10:56 pm

  I wrote an earlier review of the Z3 and mistyped V6 when I knew the 2.5 L engine in the 2.3 model is an inline 6. Anyway, have now put on around 80k miles and this car still drives like new. Just as tight, no rattles or body noises. Great car.

  Amazing! - 2000 BMW Z3
  By Pong123 - February 20 - 9:08 am

  I have enjoyed my Z for a number of years. I love the performance and how it hugs the road. My only complaint would be the heater knob. The wire that adjusts the heat has broke 3 times and is not cheap to fix. Other than this I have not had any problems. I thought about upgrading to a Z4 but I just love the style and reliability of my Z. Great investment! Sweet ride!

  2000 2.3 Z3 Roadster - 2000 BMW Z3
  By Z3 - February 4 - 8:44 pm

  I have always liked the smooth lines and sleek look of the Z3. Finally bought a 2000 with 21K miles. Its a blast to drive, cornering is fantastic and it has plenty of power to spare.

  Best car I have ever owned - 2000 BMW Z3
  By Darrel Dore - February 1 - 3:12 pm

  In my driving life I have owned a Karmann Ghia, Triumph Spitfire, Miata & Porsche 911T, just to name the top ones. Before buying this 7yr old Z3 with only 29k miles by the prior 2 owners, I loved the Porsche the best. Now after driving the Z3 from SC to NM, then up to Portland, down the curvy coast hwy (it really loves curves!) to San Francisco and finally back to SC, I am completely pleased with the handling, comfort, performance (133 mph in the desert!) and reliability. For the maintenance, you really need to find an independent BMW mechanic to keep the oil change costs down (the dealers are a little expensive). Replace the radiator before 100k, the plastic tanks split!

  Driven daily - 2000 BMW Z3
  By larry - October 13 - 11:58 am

  Front brake pads @75000 miles, at 55000 the water pump went out, dealer fixed it w/o charge. Regular oil changes when the red light comes on, other than that, this has been a reliable, fun to drive car. My wife drives almost daily and only takes my Volvo when it is snowing. Does do better in the show with all season tires and we prefer the all season to performance tires since it goes every day.

  A dream come true - 2000 BMW Z3
  By mebonitagal - January 1 - 10:10 pm

  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.

  Sexy car - 2000 BMW Z3
  By Stealth - October 18 - 7:38 pm

  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.
