yeah, get the one with the "M" package (not to be confused with a M3!!!) ...

test drove a Z3 "M" in 1999/2000, great car but too small for me.
my nose was about 2" away from the top windshield frame ...

Ask Rich at HPH - I remember listening to him talking to a Z3 owner about the problems with older cars and he seemed well aware.

If I recall it was the front and rear subframes no longer wishing to remain on intimate terms

But I could be wrong...

Be aware of ugly styling. Oh, sorry, you're probably not looking for opinions. I'm sure it's a nice car to drive.

Be aware that she will be subject to not liking the car after a very short period.

Be advised that she is a woman, and that is what they do.

Be advised that I know better than to show my face near her, if she reads this..
