2001 BMW Z3

Pros: Fun, fun, fun; great engines, entertaining chassis

Cons: Far more expensive than a Miata; 3.0 may be a bit much for some

The Bottom Line: Build quality could be better, but very fun to drive.

Review: Every once in a while I toy with the idea of getting a small roadster as a second car. Probably a Miata. I drove one again recently, and if I ever find the time to review it you’ll learn why I think it’s great fun to drive, as long as you don’t have to ...

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.

Review: 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...

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.

Review: 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 ...

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.

Review: 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...

Pros: Original sports car that's be evolved since the 1930's.

Cons: Cost about 35,000 but to those who can afford it, what a car!

The Bottom Line: It's sleek body, powerful engine that's as quiet as a mouse, ability to hug turns, will take your breath away.

Review: The Z3 roadster is what legends are made of. This car was created all the way back in the 1930's and has represented the phenomenal quality and an amazing passion for driving. The Z3 roadster is a sports car that's meant for two people. It still has...

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.

Review: 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...

Pros: Handling, Performance, Looks

Cons: Nothing

Review: I recently drove the BMW M Roadster Z3 and was completely amazed. In my opinion, this car is always perfect in every way. I loved everything about the drive. The car handled perfectly, it accelerated perfectly, and most importantly, it was a blast to...

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

Review: 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 ...

Pros: Great handling, powerful, luxurious

Cons: price, cramped, low fuel efficiency

The Bottom Line: Enjoy driving again and the cost will be worth it.

Review: 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...

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.

Review: 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...
