BMW Z3 / The Original Ultimate Roadster

[@capnordest]

I have a 2000 Z3 2.8 litre. Fantastic little car and will never sell it.

[@henrygross6583]

I just purchased a Z3 , I get the adrenaline shakes every time I drive it. What an awesome 🚘.

[@percybriscoe9886]

I fully agree with his comments. Because I had a Z3. It does put a smile on your face. It turns heads. Yes, you have to do things. Drive it. All down to earth. Early morning drive on the freeway, sun coming up, freeway is clear, empty. Top down, music on. Now you are alive. Breathing in fresh, cool air. Life is for living. The Z3 provides that.

[@christianty7528]

Every time I think it's too traffic to drive my z3 here in the Philippines... All I need to listen and watch is this video and I'm. Ready to go. Bmw Montreal blue 1998 1.6 z3

[@geoffreyeustis4355]

The Z3 seems to surprise people the first time they drive one. At first you might look at it and think it's kind of garish, then you get in and you are wrapped in leather, then you look out at that long hood and see the power bump, then you feel how well planted it is and and how short the shifter is and that razor sharp steering and that torquey straight six that gurgles and hums and you are impressed. Great car.

You really described this perfectly. Very underrated car in my opinion

[@TheWindAddict]

You totally get it! Owning a Z3 has been like that for me too it puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. I don't think I'll ever be able to sell it. it's just pure driving enjoyment! I go out and drive it just for fun. I've never done that with other cars!

[@matthedish3316]

This car is the reason why I love to make milk runs just down the road. You described why the Z3 is such a pleasure to drive! I've owned my '98 1.9L for years now and I grow more and more attached to it every time I'm behind the wheel. There really is nothing like it anymore. My 1.9L isn't setting any track/top speed records or 0-60 times but there is something about it that makes driving an experience--not a task. I think I'm going to go for a drive now, see you later!

I've had 3 Zs....1996, 1999M, and a 1999M Dinan I just bought. You captured the essence and the allure of the car. A friend once told me, "these were the last cars BMW built before the adults took over."

[@31acruz]

can you tell what engine size he has, I can't spot the number from the rear shots. there is a huge difference in horse power in 2000

[@Vollzer]

are parts from those years compatible with other bmws?

[@poncicasas5948]

I’m so close to owning a z3! Just a full month of saving and I’m good to go. I’ve never driving manual before, but driving in a z3 just looks so much fun. Especially not knowing how to drive a manual will make the bond between me and the car more special. It’s going to be my first car and while my friends, co workers and majority of the young people in my city are getting super cars, fancy cars, big trucks. I’m gonna be smiling while driving, enjoying every moment, and with the top down with the speakers up.

[@BruBru-uw2nl]

Did you buy it?

[@PhilMorgan-q9t]

I've had 4 e46's 330, etc, most of them auto trans, I was thinking of a z3, your video pushed me over the edge. I found a 2001 3.0 manual, the e46 put a smile on my face every time I drove, the smile is much bigger now, never regret buying it. I know the joy you express. Thank you.

[@matthiasloch3082]

Wow! I can’t belive it! Finally , after 17 years, I have found somebody to have almost exactly the same Z3 as I have 👍😬 on KZbin! in a beautiful shot video 👍 after face lift (I guess build in 2001) same engine, same aliminum rims, the color of the exterior and interior with fhe wooden fittings, literally everything the same ! except for the steering wheel (mine has wooden elements) I have seen so many Z3 over the years ( I own it since 2004) but not one of them came even close! As you said: its a pure joy to drive this car and to feel the great handling and very direct steering 👍 I had many cars in my live (private and company cars) but this one is something special... This one puts always a smile on my face 😃 Me and my son can‘t wait for the summer season to start in a couple of days and to take our ,green frog‘ for a ride on a winding road! Thx once again for this great video greetings from Poland!

[@michaelcliffe562]

Excellent video! These cars are an affordable automotive work of art. I'm the second owner of a pristine low milage base spec titan silver 1.9 Z3. It just oozes exclusivity and gives you the feeling of being the star in your own movie, all for the price of a well used Ford Focus. The memories this car produces are priceless. I'm 41 years old and can't imagine ever selling it.

[@stephanebrandes]

Just bought the James Bond version last week… a great driving and living experience!!!

[@hothatchpa]

This was exactly what I needed to inspire me to begin my restoration of my 1997 I have had now for 20 years! She needs a top, door handle gaskets on both sides and tires and brakes. Your Z is beautiful and you nailed it with the experience. I have had many cars in my garage but the Z STAYS! A memory machine I am happy to plug into when I need to pull the plug on everything else. Thanks for your hard work on this video and your support for one of the most overlooked and under appreciated pure driving machines of modern day.

[@Jolty]

hothatchpa this makes me happy to hear this! Such an under appreciated and often overlooked car! Glad to even be a small part of getting her back up! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!

[@TheRobynhud]

Agree ,really well done vid. I will be getting my first z3 soon. Cheers

[@galentingle5319]

I had z3 and miss it so much. It was a 1.9 and I didn't care that it wasn't the fastest. It was awesome.

[@jarrodottinger3]

Last year, I purchased a 2001 BMW Z3 3.0i Roadster 5-speed manual. I love this car. I've had to do a lot of work on it. Nothing crazy, but stuff you would have to do to a car that's 17 years old. I've done all my own work to it except tires. It makes me appreciate it even more. This is by far my favorite car I've ever owned.

[@rickyeager354]

Great video, ive got a 2001 z3, 2.5 motor, manual trans, black with 205k miles and it still drives really good, dosnt burn any oil. its been very reliable. last weekend i was going to buy a porcshe boxter but after driving the boxter and looking at the cars next to each other i couldnt do it. i love the z3. i was letting the z3 high mileage scare me! im going to drive it till it drops!!

[@burdeegirl]

I'm looking at a 2001 Z3 2.5 manual transmission this weekend with 97,000 miles on it, hopefully to buy it. This comment made me really happy to see how long yours has run.

[@MartinV.]

Amazing. Love my 1997 Z3 2.8L with two tone black/Brown interior. Nothing like driving this on a warm summer night with the top down.

[@arturarzunyan8905]

Same here. I love my Green/tan Z3 2.8 same as yours. I got the M roadster seats in there and its a pleasure to drive.

[@daniellewis1962]

162k on my 01 z3 3.0 and it still runs like a champ! It's needed quite a bit over the last 7 years (Vanos seals, valve cover gasket, brakes, bushings, tie rods, shocks/struts, ect. ect.) But I've done everything myself by reading online and I must say everything has been very DIY friendly (Fan hub wrench is my only special tool) and parts don't typically break the bank when you install them yourself and buy savy (Not part of the drive train? Aftermarket. Important mechanical component? OEM always). This car has been a joy to drive as well as repair and I plan to keep it as long as humanely possible!

[@salami99]

WINSTON SMITH 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@petehoeft6518]

One other comment. They're basically analog everything, which makes it HUGELY reliable. And I changed the radio (kept the original in a box) so I can use bluetooth, but that's the only upgrade. Only issue I ever had was the oil filter "stalk" gasket. All the plugs and coils are on top of the engine and easy to get to. I use an oil extractor to change the oil. you can slip under the rear end to change the differential fluid. I had the transmission serviced when I first bought her because she was already 10 years old. No biggie. Best value from a car of ANY. And I love her color . . . . pistacchio green, which is like a gold green. Nothing else like her on the road.

Hey I'm with you 100%, I have been a automotive mechanic fan, etc all my life and have owned many cars and trucks.

I for sure will not sell it, when I get to old to drive I will get my lawn chair out and sit and look at it.

Thank you for sharing your authentic emotions so well in your video. I was looking for a vehicle that would be fun, fit into my small garage, have little or no loss of value and have a timeless design. I used to drive BMW 5 Series. Last week I bought my Z3. Many people said I was crazy. But I feel great...

[@patriziodinicola9362]

Right then! When they call you crazy with your idea or thing you want, you DEFINATELY have to do that you want(ed) to do! ✨️ They will come back and say to you what a great thing you have done (I wouldn't not give them the opportunity to drive your Z3 when they changed there mind!). You keep that Diamont for yourself and enjoy it! 💖

My friend had one of these in 1998 and I thought it was the sexiest car I’d ever seen. I still feel that way

[@ericpeterson541]

I own a 01 z3 and adore it. Spot on, it’s the experience these cars give. Being in Florida is a plus aswell. Something I didn’t see you mention and I’ll give my two cents is: the difference between the manual and automatic transmissions in these. I would never touch one if it was an automatic.

[@mrmachel8740]

When it first came out in never even looked at it ,until I drove one and I really wanted one .I still have one and love it

[@euttdsiggh2783]

Jolt man, your opinion, this car or mercedes benz slk200?

[@Jolty]

Батрић Гарић the SLK feels like a heavy car to me. The newer ones are cool too with the retractable hardtop, but my past with Mercedes is they always seem to need higher maintenance and more issues, Personally I think the Bmw is better made for this era. So for me, the bmw.

[@MarcelaR-dh1ok]

Great video...thanks...Love my Z3 as well. Picked it up 4 years ago ....27k miles 6000USD here in Panama. 2.2 with a 5 speed. Purchased my first Midget in 1976. 3500$ new. Wonderful raw driving feel.

[@williamschultz9999]

You have my exact car, I bought it two weeks ago after a three month search for the roadster feel i love so much. Miata, Porsche,Audi and one M4. All of them were beautiful, but this Z3 2.3 stole my heart. She is wonderful to drive and play with.

[@Britswhiphun]

Bought a 2001 3L with 27K last year as a replacement for the 2002 2.5l that I sold 5 years ago for a 1999 Porsche 911. That was a mistake but now have this little beauty back in the fold. Great little car to drive and have fun in.

[@UnseenSpirit]

Never driven a Z3 but the way you talk about it, sounds like a motorbike tbh. You're connected to the road and each gear change, you feel, each bend or turn, you're one with the bike. Each twist the bike reacts. The sound, the wind, the speed!

[@karinwest919]

Never had driven a BMW but when i saw the '97 Z3 ("Bond" color) in a small used car dealer lot, had to try it. Wow. My hubby bought it for me and I love driving stick shift again in this beaut!

[@grdronbergerjr]

I have a 97 Z3 1.9, The day I test drove it I bought it. Actually It saved my life from making it fun to drive. My friends freak out living where I have curves everywhere. At 55 to 60 I get this slow down. I just tell them here just drive it a bit. It had 140,400 miles now 180,000. I even use it as a service vehicle. I'm a boat tech, yep I never had a customer doubt my mechanical ability, and I get paid well. Seems that when I pull my tools out of the trunk, They ask I bet it cost a-lot to work on don't it? I say Nope when you pull wrenches for a living it is the simplest car to work on. I say maintenance is the secret, like your boats. care for it don't skimp or get lazy virtually cheap for the fun. I will upgrade but this one will my favorite and always have a place in the main garage door first in line for the next time. It's a driver I just don't understand If you own one why keep it in the garage as a show piece, only rich dumb-ass do that, penis envy right?

[@petehoeft6518]

Funny I'm watching this video again and, yep, I still have my Z3. You perfectly encapsulate my experience. Yep, I get tempted every once in a while to sell it then . .. . . NAHHHHHH. I'm keeping her til I hand her off because I'm too old. She's an awesome value for the money.

[@miketurin5233]

The first time I drove one back in 1996 when it came out... It put a big smile on my face. You are so right about the new cars. All new car tests always talk about the multimedia system and not about pure driving experience.

[@Alto_C]

my family has had a 2002 3.0i m roadster since i was a kid, it's my first car now, and it's given us it's fair share of issues being a BMW, but in all honesty i wouldn't trade it for any other car besides maybe another Z3. Love it to death, glad others get this same enjoyment out of these

YES THE Z3 IS NOT TO IMPRESS ANYBODY , BUT TO GIVE MYSELF A MOMENT OF FUN TO DRIVE A MACHINE THAT IS ALMOST CONNECTED TO MY LIFE STYLE THE Z3 IS A COMBINATION OF A MOTORCYCLE AND A SPORTS CAR. I LOVE RIDING MOTORCYCLE BUT I DON’T FEEL SAFE ON MOTORCYCLE , BUT THE Z3 BECAUSE OF ITS SIZE , THE WEIGHT, THE QUICKNESS . HOP IN HOP OUT , IT GIVES ME THE FEELING LIKE RIDING A MOTORCYCLE BUT IN A COMFORTABLE WAY AND I DON’T HAVE TO PUT MY FEET ON THE GROUND LIKE WHEN RIDING A MOTORCYCLE.

I have owned the BMW Z3 6-cylinder, 3.0 I model with the KIT M for 11 years now. For my part, I have driven 85,000 km with this car and I still enjoy driving it without any breakdown, it never breaks. Passionate about this BMW Z3 Roadster since its release when I first saw it in the James Bond film, I ended up acquiring one in 2008. A black metallic model with chrome grille on the front is of great elegance. The BMW Z3 convertible is ideal for ballads. The dynamism and curves of this car are classic and perfect. That's all you would expect from a convertible of this class. Its 3.0-liter engine and particularly pleasant sound give me full satisfaction in acceleration, but the primary idea of ​​owning a BMW Z3 is not to burn tires while accelerating, as much as possible with its power of 231 HP, but to enjoy the fun of driving this car. I will keep it for many more years, because the resale value will be greatly appreciated in a few years, like a collectible car even in a reduced model as a trinket. The faults are very difficult to find. Its suspension is rigid but, with the sport pack (M KIT), and the lowering of the car which gives it good looks, we cannot ask for everything. For a sports car, there are always compromises to be made to have the pleasure of driving, in this case it is comfort. If you are looking for both it is impossible, comfort without driving pleasure is offered at a much lower cost with a Toyota Camry. To conclude, I love it, and everyone loves this car, very reliable, it never breaks so inexpensive in maintenance.

My wife has had her '96 Z3 for around 5 years now. She also has a '98 Z28 and I have '71 TR6. Pound for pound and dollar for dollar the Z3 is the best of the cars we own. We paid $5000 for the Z3 and we are the 3rd owners on it. We put a new top on it and have replaced all the rondells and the antenna, but the mechanicals are still holding up well. I have not been very happy with the fit and finish of the interior; maybe that is due to "made in America". It is an absolute BLAST to drive and we have taken it on several long trips. We replaced the exhaust with an after market to get a few more HP and better sound but that is the only mods we have made to the car. I love driving it but unfortunately I don't get the chance very often as it is my wifes first choice so I have to drive my F-250. We are into the "driving experience" for the pure joy of driving and the Z3 fills the bill like no other. Our Z3 has the "little" 4-banger but since the car is so light, it is not under powered at all and accelerates, handles, and brakes very well. It is all-in-all a very well balanced package. The trunk space is big enough for a week end get away but the space behind the seats is non existent. AC blows cold and all heater/ defroster works great. All told it is a great little package.😎👍

I drove my 2005 EP3 civic daily since I purchased her in 2007. It was my daily for college, med school, military and beyond. A lot is broken on that car but she still fires up and gets me from point A to point B. But her age and flaws are showing and my coworkers and family kept telling me I needed a new car because it’s old and I make enough money and shouldn’t be driving an old “pizza delivery car” like that any more when I’m a doctor or something. The problem is nothing new out there really excited me. New cars might have great 0-60 times but all the models that were within my acceptable price range were boring to look at and/or boring to drive. There are some new cars I would consider (Lotus, Porsche, BMW M series) but I don’t want to spend that much $ on something right now just so I can have an engaging driving experience on my commute. Eventually I settled on a low- mileage 24 year old Z3 and I love it. Cost me less than 10k. It’s still not new enough to satisfy my coworkers’ standards but they are boring people and they don’t know how to drive a manual and infotainment centers are more important to them than an engaging driving experience.

My 2000 2.3 Liter Atlanta Blue with a black top and blue leather seats is by far the best car I’ve ever owned. I get questions/compliments all the time, and my kids love riding in it. Great cars. Great video too!

Love the drone shots...beautiful video, great var!

Not only is BMW Z3 an ultimate driving experience, but it is also a like a piece of art that appreciates with the passing of time. Just pull the car over at some nice place and enjoy its beauty. The design by Joji Nagoshima is truly unique. It has already surpassed Z4s in price and this trend will go on. A future classic ala Z1 for sure.

I drive a Z3 2.8 hardtop convertible which is actually rather rare. ( Hardtop version)and I absolutely love it, this car handles like it's on Rails and has plenty of power I never feel like I can't pass other cars without ease. This version of the Z3 that I owned was top-tier at the time therefore it was fully loaded with all kinds of fun little goodies. With this wide-body this car is timeless and sexy. I feel like Mario Kart when I arrive this LOL

There was a removeable hardtop available for the soft top convertible Z3's. The hardtop convertible was available on some of the Z4's, some Miata NC's, and all the SLK (I think). But it's still has "plenty of power," and "timeless and sexy" in 2020!

'98 Z3 1.9 Alpine White Theres a magic for sure.

[@nowski186]

These cars have a Fun Factor that can only be explained by driving one!!! Ironically like yourself I also have a silver E89, like mentioned too many bells and whistles...

[@antoniocabriales9923]

That’s what I am talking about!! Such a beautiful car!!😍

[@lloydaugust4649]

Love my ( Montreal Blue) Z3.. have had for 11 years and all I ever needed to do is change the oil before putting in storage for the winter. 208,000 miles, zero rust & Engines are extremely solid. Had a Porsche Boxster too which I thought was garbage in comparison. It's the closest I've found to my old Tr-6 in smiles without the electrical/ carburetor issues. Pure driving pleasure..

[@tlister67]

I have a 98 1.9 and I love it. If you want a low buck roadster and are tall this is your best option IMO

[@HonJazzz]

I like the video bro. I’d definitely like to dive one of these soon.

[@Harli15815]

Totally agree. I've had 2 Z3 cars a 2002 RHD 2.2l and my most recent one and present one a 2002 RHD Z3M , 1 of 73 made....... Wouldn't change her for the world. Future classics , doesn't look 17years old, fun to drive and you get looks . Even kids say "nice car"..... The cars now are so dull, all electronics and displays., No proper driving needed.... old fashioned driving in a good old classic " joy on wheels." Stunning car.

[@MsBusterboy007]

Exactly right, it's the thrill of driving it. Just you and the car!
