Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: looks, power, reliability, build quality, fun, more fun.
Cons: rear plastic screen.
The Bottom Line: Excellent value for money, great fun factor.
My 2.8 Z3 is now 16 years old, has 125k miles on the clock yet still drives fantastically, the power is still there and its looks, whether its top down or fitted with the hardtop over the winter still bring a smile to my face every morning when I look ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Throttle, gas mileage, sound system, great curves and looks by others!
Cons: Plastic interior pieces, high cost OEM items, small gas tank.
The Bottom Line: If I had 1 million dollars, I would find and buy 10 of these cars! Love it!
Imagine a rocket on 4 wheels, if you can, then this car fits that vision. This is the most amazing car I have ever owned, and it is my 1st M series. Spring for M, if you can, you will not be disappointed. Mine has the Dinan upgrades to the ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Everything about the car.
Cons: drinks in the cup holders always get in the way
The Bottom Line: BUY ONE..........for the most fun driving since you got your license
I recently purchased an 01 Z3 in immaculate condition, it has 12000 miles and absolutely no blemishes anywhere on the vehicle. It is red with black interior, 5 speed trans, and even the "new car" smell is still there. I purchased it from a local dealer ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Beautiful like a Victoria's Secret Model without the attitude, classic, maxed out fun factor!
Cons: Ugly wood console, the fact that they don't make them any more, WHY WHY WHY!
The Bottom Line: The most fun you could have on a date with a hot looking sweetie . . . and you are the only person in the car!
I am new to this site. This is my second review. I might write a review of the 27 or so cars I have owned. If I do, it will be in order of most favorite to least I suppose. So clearly, this is my 2nd favorite all time car model. History ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: You will feel the road in a refined way. Handeling is precise.
Cons: Bad blind spot with the top up. Also, plastic window.
The Bottom Line: Cheaper since out of production. Invest in a window pad/cover and a good car cover. Check out z3solutions for great products as they do work as advertised
I was looking at a beautiful car in the Kash & Karry parking lot when, suddenly, a voice yelled out, "What the hell are you doing near my car!" I jumped back to find a fiftyish year old female glaring at me. I explained that I was looking for another car ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Fast, responsive, classic body style, BMW engineering
Cons: Limited cargo space, poor radio reception
The Bottom Line: The car to get if you want style and substance in a well engineered package.
I started looking around for a fun weekend roadster last year, something more fun to drive than my trusty Toyota SUV. A pre-owned Miata or MR2 looked like affordable options, but they both fell short of my expectations in both performance and styling. I ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Scary fast, aggressive styling, gearbox, massive engine and brakes.
Cons: Squirrelly rear suspension, people gawking, plastic rear window.
The Bottom Line: As the final evolution of the Z3, the S54-powered M Roadster fulfills its destiny with aplomb. It outhandles and accelerates cars twice its price.
I think I'm qualified to say a few words on the Z3 and M Roadsters, having owned both. I've had my 2001 M Roadster since June 2001 and have 14460 miles on it right now. I've been able to drive just about every roadster in between, before settling on ... read more

Pros: Style, Speed, Performance, Just plain fun to drive!
Cons: Small (like you didn't already know that)
The Bottom Line: On of the best cars on the road. Tons of power, brakes, and computer systems to keep you out of trouble.
Well Sort of. I do like the Z3 3.0 better than my old Porsche 924 but my turbo gives it a run for it's money. The Z3 is one of the most fun cars I have ever driven. It has loads of power and styling to die for. The interior is very nice. The Leather is ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Handling, styling, build quality
Cons: Plastic Rear Window
The Bottom Line: If you want an impractical fun car that's quick and sexy, this is the one.
This is a 3rd car for me, and I love driving it 9 months out of the year. During the winters, I mean why? Its small and nimble but its meant to be driven hard with the top down. That said, if I had to, I could use it as a daily driver. For the money, ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Unique looks and performance of BMW's inline six
Cons: Not recommended for winter driving
The Bottom Line: Driving Z3 top-down in warm, breezy days is exhilarating. But for all-weather driving, look at Audi TT, A4 convertible and Mercedes SLK.
***UPDATED REPORT*** I bought a dark steel gray Z3 2.5 with steptronic transmission and premium package. I got the Dinan cold-air intake and software upgrades. I also got the matching hardtop for winter driving that I regret buying, but more on that ... read more

I bought my mom a Z3 3.0 late last year as a birthday present. She loves it very much and lets me drive it when she goes out of town.
PROS:
1. Powerful engine: In true BMW tradition, the engine in the Z3 3.0 is quite powerful, step on the ... read more

Pros: Style, performance, price. This is 'the' roadster.
Cons: Limited colour range compared to some competitors
The Bottom Line: : Test drive it and then fall in love with it. You'll keep this car forever.
This cloudy afternoon saw the Joester making a pilgrimage down to one of the local BMW dealerships to take an extended spin in the Z3 Roadster 3.0i. After two hours putting this little sex machine through its paces, I wanted to take it home with me. I ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Fast, Fast BMW. The handling reads your mind 0.5 seconds into the future
Cons: Cramped, not as luxurious as some other vehicles
The Bottom Line: If you're under 6'1 and want an extremely agile, fast, and fairly luxurious sports car that doesn't really look like anything else on the road, GET THIS CAR.
My wife and I just bought a brand-new BMW Z3 Coupe yesterday. Dealers seem to want to get rid of this car and we got it for significantly under invoice. This was my wife's car so she was choosing. As I'm a bit over 6'3, I said she could have any car ... read more

Pros: Engine, interior styling, exterior styling, price
Cons: Plastic window, equipment content
The Bottom Line: Great quality and performance at half the price of its competitors. While this comes at the expense of content, if your focus is driving, you won't be disappointed.
Silver & black, premium package, 3.0. Daily driver.
Other cars I own are a 1997 Mazda Miata and a 2001 BMW M Coupe. I also have spent significant time driving a 2001 Porsche 911 Cabriolet.
The engine is fabulous. It has great ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: The 0-60 times are astounding, yet controlled. Dialed-in handling, cool car all around
Cons: $$$$$, May be to small for average size or larger drivers.
The Bottom Line: If you are between a Boxster S, a Corvette and an M this is a car that is worth a look a drive and some serious thought.
Picture yourself driving a car the size of a go-cart with a corvette engine. Picture yourself with the top down, the wind blowing through your hair (in my case scalp), accelerating from 0 to 60 in 4.5 seconds. Picture yourself in a car that wraps ... read more

Pros: A fun car to drive, very sexy and will definitely turn heads!
Cons: Having to work and not being able to drive my Z3.
The Bottom Line: The quality is exceptional in every area. I am 100% pleased and very impressed with my Z3. Thanks BMW!
This is the most fun car I have ever owned or driven! My husband owns a convertible '97 Mustang Convertible and we own a Triumph Spitfire - which I enjoy driving but honestly prefer driving my Z3 more. I love how it looks - so sleek and sexy, how the ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Sweet musical engine and exhaust sounds, Handling, Feeling of connection with car
Cons: Lots of interior flaws, Looks ugly, Pricey
The Bottom Line: Driving in the Z3 Coupe, you probably look silly with that grin on your face in the ugliest BMW ever made, but little do others know what you're feeling.
BMW Z3 Coupe 3.0i, 5-Speed Manual
The Z3 Coupe is the car I used to love to hate. Its side profile and rear views are ugly as sin, due to the awkward-looking rear section that doesn't quite look like a hatchback and doesn't quite look ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Fast(M-Series) and has great handling
Cons: visibility and price and noise
The Bottom Line: If you want a sports car and you do not mind spending some extra cash, you should go with the Z3.
The new BMW Z3 is very cool, very fast, and very expensive. Base prices are around $31,000 and on up to $42,000 for the M-Series, which is why I actually reconsidered buying the car. I went with the BMW X5, but that is another review.

The Bottom Line: Great for Mid-life crisis
My husband had the pleasure of driving the 3.0 BMW Z-3 roadster for 3 weeks. His car needed to be fixed at the dealer and they gave him the convertible as a loaner. What a deal!!
He fell in love with the car the moment he drove it. The engine ... read more
