Hi there

Im looking at buying a Z3, probably a 1.8 or 1.6 if they do them - looking around i think i can aford a 98 R, i just wanted to get some ideas on what to look out for as i will be buying private. It will also be an everyday car so how much does millage affect it.

Thanks for your help.

get the 2.8, get the 2.8, get the 2.8

that's my advice. My old man's got it, it's miles better than my tiv ( don't tell anyone)

Get a 6 pot.

DO NOT bother with anything less. You will be totally disheartened.

It doesn't drive like a "normal" BMW. So help yourself along with a bigger lump.

Buy an MX5 - much better car, or an E36 converible - both better that the 4 cylinder Z3, which is to be honest, pish...

What is your budget?

Possibly the biggest white elephant of any large manufacturer in the last 10 years. Terrible car with a joke of an engine besides the 2.8.

Steer WELL clear and buy a decent car.
