2002 BMW Z3 - My Z3 runs great and has been very reliable, BUT when the finish peeled off the wheels BMW told me the warranty only covers if the wheels don't go round. The seats move forward and back as I speed up or slow down. I did have an Austin Healy in the 60s and

This 3.0 liter steptronic is everything it is said to be. Just excellent performance, especially the handling. It didn't hurt that we bought some new Goodyear F1 all-season tires. The interior is just classic w/everything laid out quite well. The gas mileage is OK, not great, but 225 HP will do that. Comparing this car with a Miata is a joke. No way! Maybe because they are both roadsters I guess. The Z3 is more in the Boxster or Audi TT class. Grab a Z3 before the low mileage ones are all gone!
Story
This is the most legal fun you can have! The only complaint I have is about the HORRIBLE Harman-Kardon speakers... I have heard better in a VW Beetle. There is no excuse for BMW to use this poor quality. It is one of those things you understand that you will just HAVE to replace.
Pros
Good engine, good handling.
Cons
Seats that are stable and fit humans, more lateral support, better shifter gating. Larger boot. More durable interior and exterior trim. More durable finish on wheels.

The Z3 is an excellent and luxurious car to those that are on a tight budget. It is relatively inexpensive and it's performance level is greater than the cost of the car in my opinion. It has great handling and acceleration and the steering mechanism for the car is smooth and painless. The car is a little small however and it can be burdensome if you have lots of friends and family members that may need to depend on you for rides.

Pros
The pros of this car is that it accelerates incredibly fast. The interior of the car is in great shape and is very sleek. The exterior is also modern and complements the interior very nicely. The noise of the engine is also attractive.
Cons
The only negatives that I can think of is that the car is fairly outdated and that the it is only a 2-seater car. Therefore, it may be difficult if you have people that depend on you giving them a ride.
