Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Sounds, looks, and feels like a classic, high-powered sports car
Cons: Droning engine, shudders a bit over bumps
The Bottom Line: The essence of a sports car. One of the most fun cars I've ever driven.
I had to be forced to drive this thing. Ever since I first saw a photo of one I've felt it's one butt ugly car. Still do. I like the looks of the Z3 roadster. But M Coupe's squarish greenhouse on top of the quite rounded body of the Z3 is just too ...

Pros: Fast! Very fun to drive, Good ergonomics, Figure hugging seats.
Cons: Exterior looks a bit on the ugly duckling side.
The Bottom Line: Besides the styling, which is controversial, this car is very fun, plush & a good value.
For many individuals who want the refined and meaty performance associated with the M Roadster, but the practicality of a 3-door coupe, the BMW M Coupe is perfect. It may not be as sporty looking as the M Roadster, but thanks to its much stiffer ...

Pros: Fast, solid, feel your youth. Excellent for the price
Cons: Tiny trunk, not much other storage space available. Watch that front end!
The Bottom Line: Fun to drive. Get the heated seats.
I drove this car off the lot when the lease of my '97 Z3 came to an end. I could have opted to keep the '97, but I wanted the improvements that came along since then, mainly the safety roll bars behind the seats, the foam lining in the convertible top,...

{update}
My Z is now 9 months old and I'm still happy with my toy. After living with a car for awhile, you can always see a few faults and these are the ones I've noticed. The car's paint seems to scratch very easily. The car also centers all of...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: 6-cylinder engines, BMW technology/safety, sport seats, Harmon-Kardon stereo, good price value
Cons: trailing-arm rear suspension, plastic rear window, Oregon leather
When the BMW Z3 first debuted in the 1996 model year, the only engine choice available to U.S. buyers was the 1.9-liter 138-hp 4-cylinder powerplant which compared favorably with the 1.8-liter 133-hp Mazda Miata at the time. In 1997, the 2.8-liter 189-hp...

The Bottom Line: Great handling, wonderful image, sexy car with an amazing level of comfort.
Summary:
I drove a new 3.0 Z3 from LA to North Carolina this past weekend and wanted to share some of my impressions. My first impression was of the agressive appearance of the car. This one has the sports package with its larger and...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: All you ever wanted in a vehicle: Speed, great looks, fastest and most powerful engine with great safety amenities; A testosterone kind of car!
Cons: Too expensive and made for an exclusive group!
A good friend of mine, working at a local dealership, once told me that if he manages to purchase this BMW Z8 this year, he will stop applying and taking his testosterone-boosting gel and supplement! My first reaction was to laugh my heart out. I could...

Pros: Runs like a Swiss watch, a lot of sport/touring-car for the money
Cons: Not a lot of "car" for the money, won't fit the exercise-challenged
I have now owned my M Coupe for one week now. This is obviously not a long-term ownership review of the car. So far I like it better than when I was thinking about purchasing the car.
Positives:
The car rides tightly but not rough. My...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great handling, Great Acceleration, Great cornering, Great stability.
Cons: Some have mixed feelings about the hatchback design, but it is not just a random choice by BMW. Hatchback design adds to the handling and solid ride of the M coupe.
The BMW M coupe is one of the most hottest performance sports cars out on the market right now. I was lucky enough to have actually driven one last month when a close friend borrowed her brother's new 2000 BMW M coupe. She let me take it for a spin, and...

Pros: Joyful to drive and attention grabbing
Cons: Several small problems
Even without the car, the movie Harold and Maude had a lot of things going for it. Bud Cort and Ruth Gordon brought the black comedy to life and helped create a film that says a lot about life and how to live it.
But then there’s the...

Pros: Handling, Styling, Safety
Cons: Small trunk - but remember it's a sports car, not an SUV!
I took delivery of a new Z3 on April 10, 2000, and am ecstatic about it. With a big ticket item like a BMW, there is the potential of "buyer's remorse" once the newness wears off, but the more I drive it the only thing I regret is not buying...

Pros: retro styling, superior gearbox, aggressive pickup
Cons: Non-adjustable steering column, no updates in chassis, decent underpinnings
Ever since it's release, the BMW M Roadster has been a man among boys. With its classic retro styling and famous BMW power and amenities, this car takes your breath away.
There is not a lot more you can ask for in a sporty convertible. Even...

Pros: Speed, M Styling, Speed, Nice Interior, Speed, Nice Acceleration, and Speed!
Cons: Easily Mistaken for a Z3
Need a higher performance cruising machine for less than $200,000? Here you go. In a year old version of a Motor Trend they compared the M Roadster with the Aston Martin DB7, Corvette Coupe, Viper GTS, Ferrari 355 F1, Lotus Esprit V-8 Turbo, Panoz AIV...

Pros: Get used to people in the neighbourhood calling out "NICE CAR!!!"
Cons: Get used to people in the neighbourhood calling out "NICE CAR!!!"
The Bottom Line: This car seems to make OTHER people happy when they see it!
I saw the Z8 at the Car Show and had to own one! Oh, those lines! It has to be the most beautiful car ever designed.
I have owned the car for 7 months now being very careful not use it if it might get dirty (I know, I'm still in love) and I...
