I hate the Z3. And I hate the Z4 more. I also hate the M version of the Z3 as well, partially because it looks like drunken clown-shoe designer stumbled into the BMW design room the night before the coupe design was going to be presented to board and drew all over the designs. That and my future brother-in-law makes fun of me for buying "the Porsche that you buy when you can't afford a 911." But he drives a 2000 Z3 M Coupe that he bought used with like 90k miles on it, which is what you buy when you can't afford the M5.
I am in the market for a roadster and have been lurking here and in the BMW forums doing my research. Check out these two threads about the a very large number of Z3 differential and subframe welds separating. It seems most of the Z3s are effected and it costs about $3000 to get it fixed. Seems like a bad enough problem to scare me off.
What happened to the days when people would look at the chassis, engine, suspension and drivetrain of a car and appreciate it for what it's really worth?
i think the problem is that you first see what the car looks like before you see chassis, engine, suspension and drivetrain....
same with girls, you get to see the chasis and suspension later on after the testdrive <---- did i just say that?
