1997 BMW Z3 2 Dr 1.9 Convertible Review
ProsFun, Fun and did I mention FUN ConsPlease don't buy any of these cars, I want all I can get

If You Like Dependability, Fun, Economy And Comfort, This Is The Car For You. — This car, although not as fast as some, is superior in overall performance. It takes the corners like it is on rails. I have never had a more dependable vehicle. It is constantly amazing to me that I can drive it for hours and still be comfortable. It sips gas getting between 28 and 35 miles per gallon and can travel at excessive speeds for hours on end. Wind and road noise are remarkably low for a vert. It looks fantastic and draws attention as if it were just out of the show room. Primary Use: Commuting to work

ProsIf you LOVE German Cars and want to go green and save gas.. THIS is the Roadster you want to own/purchase ConsNOT At All... There's no problems unless you have different opinions and thoughts

My Bottom Line Is, If You Are A Eco-friendly.. Gas Saver And Just Love Convertibles With 4 Cylinders — BMW Z3 is not what you can find in the road alot, it is a head turning, It costs cheap for say 5 grand plus. Yes it is a FUN CAR to drive, exhilarating.. Fuel-Efficient roadster it takes a couple of weeks for the gas to go down... It really is the ULTIMATE Driving MACHINE NOTE: 4 Cylinders W/ Automatic or Manual to choose.. it moves you like the wind blowing your hair :) *smiles* Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

ProsApperarance, performance ConsA bit noisy when you drive on a highway (even when it's closed)

Stylish And Fast — This is the most stylish car I've ever had. It gives you the traditional roadster feeling. The build quality is excellent, cost of ownership is average. Performance is amazing, the 193 horsepower is ideal for this car. Maximum speed is 225 km/h, i've tried one time, but it is so noisy then;) Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

Prosnothing really gone wrong with it Consno glass window in the top
35
Best Car Ever Owned — battery lasted for 8 years, brakes/rotors lasted 5 years each time. after 11 years and 168K miles am still on the first clutch. The gear shifter broke off after 8 years. other then that no real problems. awesome car had to replace top after 5 years because I wasn't as careful and didn't use my cover for the plastic cover | ||

ProsThe fun factor Conscost of maintenance
35
This Is The Car Bmw Was Talking About When They Say The Ultimate Driving Exerience — Fun factor is through the roof! After i put aftermarket wheels and tires there is no corner this car cant handle. The cost to maintain is kinda high though, I had a fog light ggo out and it cost $40 to ship from germany not to mention the cost of the light. Fuel econmony isnt as bad as you would think, it still gets 28 MPG as long as you keep your foot out of it. ONe downfall is the fact that it requires premium fuel. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Fun Autocrossing Car — FUN car to drive, with the right upgrades, no body roll, perfect amount of power with a turbo 2.8 i6, get one and make it your project car, make sure t have some money for it, took me a while to get my parts together but sooo worth it Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||
