bmw z3

Been thinking about purchasing a Z3. Probably wait until Spring for financial and practical purposes. Has anybody had one? Anything I should know? Anything to look for?

Not specific to the Z3 but if you can stretch to it you will get a much better deal if you buy it in winter, even if you then keep it SORNed until spring.

The BMW UK press car used for events was up for sale recently. Had one previously and some used ones drive really badly, really wobble on the rear, all this is tho is bushes needing replaced. CD players are also known for going faulty I had three in my car as kept breaking

I own one currently, and love it! I will send you some buying guides I have by email on Tuesday.

I've had one the last 11 years as a daily driver. It's been a great car. Mechanically the car is sound, however cosmetically I've started to have a number of problems and am thinking of getting a new car. Mine is a 1999., I guess that's to be expected it a car that old.

I had one for 3-4 years or so, loved it. Bit of a pain opening and closing the roof but that's only a minor gripe. The only thing you need to be careful of is that the roofs are prone to going a bit green and mildewy - however you can treat them easily enough but you need to do it quite regularly. -{

Enjoy it and just remember, you don't have a licence to break the traffic laws. :007)

Good tip from our friend ,the best time to buy a rag top is when its freezing cold ,no one wants them ,when its hot people are more willing to take a punt on a rag top,We bought our daughter a cooper convertible a few years back in the winter
good a good deal on it ,

I understand the winter thing. Just don't think I'll have the cash this winter. Too impatient to wait until next winter. Although I might not have cash in spring either. I pay my current car off next December so that might actually be the time.

Dubl-Oh, I'd appreciate that.

Anything in those buying guides about talking the gf into it?
