EXPERTS CONCLUDE
Engine displacement in the 2.8 Roadster and Coupe is bumped from
2.8 liters to 3.0 liters. An associated horsepower and torque increase, along
with bigger brakes and larger 17-inch wheels and tires, accompanies the new
engine. The base 2.5-liter engine also sees a 15 horsepower increase. An
optional five-speed Steptronic transmission with manual shifting capability is
now available.

overview
The Z3, introduced in 1996, has seen unfaltering popularity with
young and old alike even as the line has grown to include more models. It seems
that wherever we take these cars, a crowd quickly forms to ask questions about
performance and to drool over their lovely shapes.
Driving BMW's Z3 cars is a phenomenal experience. Even the most
basic Z3 Roadster, with its powerful inline six and ventilated front-disc
brakes, is a blast. Only at high speeds does the 2.5 feel winded, but opting
for the larger displacement 3.0-liter six in the 3.0i Roadster solves that
problem. And for those who must have a rigid structure and protection from the
elements, the 3.0i Coupe is a hoot.
With
superb steering and excellent brakes, any Z3 is fun to drive and own. Despite
their prowess, however, pure performance freaks will want to step up to the M
Coupe and M Roadster, which offer increased power and superior handling.
Slotted
comfortably between the bargain Mazda Miata/Toyota MR2 and more expensive
machines from Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, there is a Z3 to suit anybody's needs.
Certainly the thrill of open-air motoring in a European two-seater is appealing
to any baby boomer who owned a sporty little convertible while in college, but
those seeking a scalpel sharp roadster this price range will want to check out
Honda's ultra-capable S2000. The Z3 Coupe 3.0i makes sense for Snowbelt
dwellers who have greater storage needs and like a bit of "funk" with
their "sport." CLICK ME
