"Mark Is Great"
For well over a year Id been looking for a titanium silver M Roadster (like the one I had 15 years ago) and it seemed like every one I found was too far away or I wasnt sure if the car was really in good condition. Then I surfed onto the Mr. Z3 web site, called Mark and now Ive got my very low mileage dream car! I used his "acquisition program". The car he found for me was over 1000 miles away but he took care of everything (getting it shipped to him, conditioning it so everything is perfect and then getting it shipped to me). The total amount came to less than his estimate when we were deciding if this was the right car. He kept me informed every step of the way. It was a pleasure working with Mark.
"Mr. Z3 Aka Mr. Fantastic!"
I had been looking for an M Coupe for a very long time (years) but never found one that met enough of my filters to take the next step beyond what I saw online - I always found something wrong/not good enough. Then one day - I found one of Marks M Coupe listings that fit all my criteria and that started the emails/calls. Plain and simple: He is a joy to speak to - as the other reviews already say, his enthusiasm and wealth of knowledge is so obvious and there is never a pushy salesman aspect to it - he really wants each car to go to the right owner. My husband & I arranged to fly down to LA to see the car - the minute Mark pulled up in it, the aesthetic quality/condition was there (for a 16 year old car no less!). We drove it around (Mark generously offered to let us test it for as long as we wanted) and I was sold in under 10. As a former (non-M) E36 owner, all the familiarity came rushing back with the added "M" kick. I could tell Mark was genuinely as happy for me as I was for myself! Now, heres where the unexpected happened: It wasnt until our long drive up home into the night that we realized none of the Back Lit Instrumentation was working. All the external Lights worked and since our Test Drive was during the daytime, who would have noticed the Instrumentation wasnt lit up? I called Mark when we got home and he was genuinely apologetic. I knew even before I called that he had never driven the car at night himself (if he had - we wouldnt even be having the conversation). Mark was with me every step of the way to have the problem fixed at my local BMW Dealer and he definitely went above and beyond to ensure I was happy with the results - especially since he could not be there personally/physically to oversee it. I have never had such a positive experience buying a Car (new or used) as I did with Mark. These Cars obviously arent for everyone and at their continuously increasing Market Value - the Price Point gives a person a lot of options. Im certain I wouldnt have found the same quality/value anywhere else - and its the stuff you cant put a value on where Mark is the real deal and shines. I fully intend to keep him as my trusted advisor for all things my M Coupe will ever need.

"Mark Is One Nice Guy."
I spoke with Mark Cohen this morning and it would be difficult to find more knowledgeable, enthusiastic and giving person. He loves his work. Even though I wasnt even looking to buy a car, he didnt care. He just wanted to share with me the best way to find, examine and then maintain a Z3. I called him because a friend of mine explained that Mark was the best source of information and the most knowledgeable guy he ever met. Man, was my buddy right. Marks goal is simple, to establish the condition of vehicle using the best resources and mechanics available to present the best Z3 in the market. Should you ever have the pleasure of speaking with Mark, youll cant help but make a friend in the process.
"Personable And Very Knowledgable"
I communicated with Mark about a couple of BMW z3 coupe cars that he had for sale. He was very helpful in explaining the cars history and quality. I met with Mark and we took a drive on one of the z3s. This was a beautiful, low mileage, carefully chosen car that Mark found and invested on to make it unique and very clean. In the end I found another z3 coupe that I really liked, so I didnt buy from Mark. Dealing with Mark was a pleasure, he didnt pressure me to buy and I can tell he does this out of a passion for these cars. This is refreshing and unusual.
"Experienced And Honest Advice"
Mark is super experienced in MCoupes and Z3s. More importantly, he is patient and honest and I enjoyed dealing with him.
"Mr. Z3"
I have been buying and collecting cars for over 50 years. If you are interested in purchasing a Z3, Mark is definitely the "go to" guy. His cars are fully vetted by a guy who knows his product. His cars may be a little more expensive up front but if you buy in the open market to perhaps save a little money you will probably end up with more money invested to make the car right. Mark is honest, knowledgeable and easy to deal with. You will get no pressure and he will be there for you after the sale.
"Great Car+ Great Seller = Awesome Experience!"
Mark is a true, caring & very patient enthusiast and professional. He addressed my many (many) questions without a loss of cheerfulness and enthusiasm. I could not have asked for a more fair, straightforward buying process. Mark (Mr Z3 ) is the real deal and I would highly recommend him to any prospective buyers and sellers.
"A Real Mensch"
Mark in indeed a real help in selling my Z3 M Coupe. He had no idea whether I would use him or not in the selling of my car. He is a wealth of information and freely shared his knowledge. He even called me several times to see how things were going.
"Mr Z3 Bought Our Z3"
Mark was a pleasure. To talk to and deal with. Very nice knowing there are honest people like mark out there to do business with. You cant go wrong with mark. Mr z
"My M Roadster Went To A Good Home."
Every winter I thought of selling my Roadster which sits under a warm blanket in storage. Once spring comes,,..I wonder why would have thought of such a thing. I loved the feeling of unpacking my car as a sign of spring. However, it finally became time to minimize and I needed a buyer. Enter Mark. I actually sold it to him for $1,500 less than I was offered by another party because he had true appreciation for my car.I believe it found a good home....Too bad he wasnt looking for a dog as well.
"The Real Deal (pun Intended)"
Prior to talking to Mr. Z3, I had been looking for an M Roadster for a couple of months. I spoke with quite a few dealer owners and private-party owners of vehicles that were offered for sale. Most of those conversations were pleasant, especially for conversations between a buyer and a seller. You know the drill, they had a car and I had a checkbook. I asked questions and they answered questions. When I called Mark to inquire about the M Roadster for sale on his website the conversation was completely different. Mark treated me like I was a friend of a friend, and he had an engaging personality. We talked for a half hour during the first phone call. His knowledge of the cars was apparent and his passion was genuine. It was obvious that Mark treated his cars with respect, and that he wanted to find them a good home. Mark does not give his cars away, but I absolutely believe you get what you pay for with him. I sure as heck know he is not cutting corners, as his cars are in immaculate condition. The detailed explanation of the maintenance and cosmetic repair work done on his vehicles was refreshing. He just doesn’t find an auction car to flip it. He literally searches for extremely well cared for vehicles, and then he makes sure that they are in tiptop shape for a discerning buyer. I call that value, and I was happy to purchase my car from Mark.
"Excellent To Work With"
Mark is excellent to work with. He is fair, knowledgeable and responsive. I am retired and downsizing and my M3 roadster had to go. Mark contacted me regarding buying my car. I have delt with my share of fast talking con men when Ive bought or sold a vehicle. Mark was not one of them. He was a pleasure to work with. This was a long distance transaction and Mark was very responsive to my phone calls and emails. His requests of me regarding the M3 were reasonable and his payment was prompt. I would give him six stars if that were an option
"Fair And Honest"
While looking for our 3rd Z3 coupe, we visited Mark at Mr. Z3. One of the first things he said to me was that he wanted to be the worlds best Z3 dealer. I am a retired factory trained BMW technician and after 37 years in the automotive industry, I really see no value in salesmen or dealership managers. So when I heard Mark say this, I thought to myself "great" and rolled my eyes. We visited with Mark for about two and a half hours. His knowledge of cars, particularly the Z3s is impressive. While driving away, my wife commented "you really enjoyed that didnt you?" and I did. The Z3 coupe we purchased from Mark is matched by his enthusiasm, knowledge and expertise in the products he sells. Everything Mark stated he would do, he did. I cannot state it enough, in my humble opinion he is the worlds greatest Z3 dealer.
"One Of A Kind Service"
While looking for our third Z3 Coupe we visited Mark at Mr Z3. One of the first comments he made to me was that he wanted to be the worlds best Z3 dealer. I am a retired factory trained BMW technician and after 37 years in the automotive industry I personally see no value in salesmen or managers, so as you can imagine I thought to myself "oh great" and rolled my eyes. We were there for two and a half hours talking about Z3s and other cars I realized Mark was not a salesman or a dealership manager. While driving away from his shop, my wife said "you really enjoyed that didnt you?" and I did. The Z3 coupe we purchased from Mark is matched by his enthusiasm, knowledge and expertise in the products he sells. Everything Mark stated he would do, he did. I cannot state it enough, in my humble opinion, he is the worlds greatest Z3 dealer.
"Courteous And Very Helpful"
Mark has a genuine desire to please and displays a respect for the customer that is rare in the car business. He works towards a mutually beneficial outcome with 1st rate communication skills and a deep wealth of knowledge of his cars. I whole heartedly recommend him.
"Mr. Z3 Went Above And Beyond!"
I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Z3 (Mark) to purchase his 2000 Cosmos Black M-Coupe. He is a true Z3 enthusiast and definitely know these cars inside and out. He took great care to be sure everything was fixed and the car was running great. He took a good portion of his Saturday to dedicate to making sure my deal went through without any problems. I would HIGHLY recommend working with him on your future Z3 needs! If he doesnt have the car you are looking for he can surely find it for you.
"1999 M3 Roadster"
I recently sold my BMW M3 Roadster to Mark. It was a pleasure working with him. The price we agreed upon was fair and all dealings with the purchase of the car were up front and according to schedule. Mark is very personable and has a deep love of Z3s. It felt good knowing that my "baby" was going to a place where it would be cherished. I would recommend him to anyone.
"Very Honest- Very Reliable"
It was a pleasure working with Mark- what he said about the car was always the truth- I would definetly buy another car from Mr. z3. He shipped the car to me and the procedure could not have gone more smoothly. Thanks again
"Great Car, Fair Deal"
The car was (perfect) as advertised, the price was fair, the negotiations were relatively painless, and nothing was said when we got lost on the test drive and stayed gone for almost an hour.
