This car has classic BMW styling and driver experience. It is a joy to drive. You’ll smile every time you are behind the wheel. There are newer, faster, and cars with more modern options, but if you want the visceral feeling of rubber meets pavement and the joy of being in the present behind the wheel, feeling every moment, then give the BMW Z3 a gander.

I love the way it handles and accelerates. Top down driving is awesome and you can carry on a normal conversation. Seats are very comfortable. Great gas mileage around 22 MPG in town and 28 on the highway. I would recommend this car without reservation.

Reviewed a 2000 BMW Z3 on Apr 15, 2009
I have longed for this '00 BMW M Coupe ever since I bought my '99 M Roadster (which was a reasonably good car but could certainly be better). The difference was immediately noticeable - tight, tight chassis where everything were so connected. Power slides were made easy without that "wheel hop" found in the M Roadster. Even the engine sounded better due to the better resonance characteristics of the closed cabin. The rare and unique fastback design also gave this car a most distinctive sillouette not found in any previous BMWs or otherwise, a design that will never grow old with trained or untrained eyes. The handling performance of this vehicle was the function of its shorter wheel base (vs. the e36 M3) and the dated semi-trailing arm rear suspension. As a result, cornering was always an adventure requiring a great deal of efforts to keep the rear end planted - any uncertainty on the part of the right foot will cause the rear end to step out violently (a result of the ever changing rear camber during suspension travel). This was why stiffer spring rates (to limit suspension travel) and lowered ride height (to increase neg. camber) would be highly recommended for driving this car beyond 8/10th on the track. This car tolerated no mistakes on the driver's part, but was exceptionally rewarding to negotiate around the track. It turned better and tighter than an M3, and it also out accelerated and out braked the same (for its 200 lbs. weight advantage). Track pads, however, will still be necessary as any BMW brakes were not meant for performance driving and would be most apparent usually after 2 hot laps. While the S52 engine was hardly considered exotic nor powerful (240 hp) and lacked immediate throttle response (no individual intake butterflies here), the flat torque curve and low maintenance requirement made this engine more than bullet-proof for track use, and exceptional for street driving. The 5-speed transmission was one of the best BMW had employed with positive engagement every shift, the limited slip differential also worked transparently, all what BMW was so famous for. As a daily driver, the ride was never objectionable, the chassis had the stiffness to handle any road imperfection. Interior room was more than adequate for 2 (and will not accommodate a 3rd) with exciting visual thanks to the chrome ringed guages, contrast stitched leather console, and the clamshell hood line. Build quality was adequate with wider than average panel gappings. Sheet metal were wave free like any other less curveous BMWs, but unfortunately, the clear coat also exhibited the same level of orange peel just the same. Overall, this car ranked 3rd over the 9 BMWs I owned but is by far the most focused.

Overview
The BMW Z3 roadster was produced between the 1996 and 2002 model years before being replaced by the Z4 roadster in 2004. The hugely popular car saw its entire, 15,000-vehicle production run sell out in 1996 by the time the car was introduced.
The 2.5 version was powered by a 184hp, 2.5-liter, 24 valve 6-cylinder engine, while the 3.0 featured a 225hp, 3.0-liter DOHC, 24 valve 6-cylinder engine. A high-performance M roadster had a 3.2-liter, 24-valve inline 6-cylinder that produced 315-horsepower.
Pierce Brosnan, starring as James Bond, drove the 1996 1.9 - which was produced between 1996 and 1998 - in the 1995 film Goldeneye
