those can be get relatively cheap , cuz theres the new z4 , so the z3 price dropped down , you can get a z3 1997 convertible for around 12k in the us .....

BTW is an astonishing car ....

wtf only car I ever got was my mom's van which she still retains ownership of.
and the van is shitty but it does do 0-60mph in about 10seconds.

For sure it is since it has the 2.8 engine and it's smaller and lighter

Looks nice, but theres always room for improvement IMO, whack sum Z3M coupe wheels on it and change those indicators to clear, jobs a gudun!
Ofcourse you could lower it, have a nice sounding exhaust. Dinan intake (if they do one!?) etc etc.

Nice car man! I've heard that 2.8 engine kicks ass... as every bmw engine of course but someone with a BMW 528i managed 250km/h (on the speedometer).

Very very nice Car. I like the coupe, esepcially the back. You should see the back of Z3 M Coupe. That´s pretty nice and one of the best hatches I´ve ever seen...

A nice car to be certain, though I must say for my own tastes I prefered it in roadster form. I would imagine that yours handles better as it should be significantly stiffer...

I love this car. When I saw one on the street I fell in love. It just looks so good.

Nice car to have at 16. I presume you get all the chicks now?

The BMW Coupé will be the first car I buy the moment I'm finished with my studies. The BMW is one kickass machine.
