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 ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) Andy |

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 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) But I could be wrong... Richard |

Be aware of ugly styling. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif) 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.. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/hide.gif) |
