BMW Z3 - a successful and timeless design?

[Flambeur]

Haven't been paying attention to them, but saw a really clean black one on the street and it looked really good. Did not looked dated at all, although the design is like 15 years old now. Very nice, but unassuming and cool - in a quiet and confident way. And it has a straight six which rocks. I kinda want one now. Black of course.

I personally like the roadster better. You are on par with the design not being dated. Get one and poast, poast, poast!!

Not a fan of them now, but I'm sure I'll think they're cool again in another 5-10 years.

Z3's are pretty crappy cars (compared to other BMW's including 3's) except for that M roadster which is in a different league.

Now that those reg Z3s are cheap, they would be a nice weekend convertible if you're not looking for super performance, handling and quality.

Oh but they really do look dated...

That's because it's the Shoe.

I've always wanted a clownshoe.
With an M3 engine under the hood (S54).

Pops owns a silver z3. 4-cylinder though. It's still fun to drive!

I really wanted a M roadster but they had some serious engine issues at the time and I needed something really reliable so I had to pass.

You don't see the Ms to much but they are super quick. If you get the M with the dinan package you got yourself a super car killer.


I wouldn't be surprised to see one of these car in my garage at some point.



Only bad thing was some of the interiors were way over the top.
