Do you use the extra space for hauling things, does it add to the usability for you?
Hows the maintenance requirements/ reliability. Does it also have the cool system issues as other 3ltr. BMWs?

BReif61 Nice! Is it an M or just a coupe?
It's the Z3, no M, it's a 2001 so it has the better engine, 3.0, 225 hp, 5 speed. A few upgrades in the 2001.

Next, it is more useable than my 911, it has real space behind the seats, even though, everytime I buy another tool for my stone sculpture work I say I need to sell it and get something bigger.
It has the same cooling problems and window problems, seats, as the other 3 series. It isn't solid lifters like the M so a little cheaper on maintenance, I actually think the upkeep on the 911 was less, but that may be just that is was such a good car.
It only has 80k miles so I haven't had to replace the radiator yet, maybe another 10k miles.
Not as common around here as a Porsche (they made 860 3,0s in 2001, 50 this color).
