Looking at the Z3 - M-Series

Sep 22, 2005 1 Replies

I've been more interested lately in obtaining a Z3 "M" series. This will be my firts BMW, although I have admired them for years. Accroding to a number of sites, the only years for the M series were 1999&2000 for the



240hp engine, and 2001&2002 for the 310hp version.

Assuming condition approproate to price, I'm looking for some first hand experience and information on the various models. I am more inclined to find a newer, higher hp version, but wanted to hear from those who know far more on this topic than I do currently.



Any constructive advise is appreciated, what to look for, what to watch out for, personal experiences, pro and cons of each.



Thanx in advance...


I was looking at the Z3 before I decided that I liked the Z4 a bit more. (The last Z3s were darned close to the Z4 in asking price, while the Z4 is a couple of generations ahead in handling and comfort.) Anyway, R&T recently did decent "used classic" article on the Z3 series. It's at
