I Kinda Bought This 1996 BMW Z3 (1.9 5-Speed)

[@dougshugarts3105]

Nice to see a tach actually drop when you put in the clutch.

@Ok_Mountain_8698, as a 13 year old, i have driven my dad's sw20 mr2, i shift very slowly, and have no issues

[@sub_to_sence_equalsbig_pp1766]

@@Ok_Mountain_8698don’t gotta shift fast at all it’s actually better for the car not to hang and drop in rpm

[@rickjames6867]

Classic BMW. Thanks for refreshing her. She definitely needed it.

[@TheUnreadableUser]

I really want to see Chris's garage. It's probably stuffed to its limit! Hahahah 😂

[@TopherDrives]

I need to make another collection update lol

[@austinnafziger4159]

The Z cars from BMW are so overlooked. I love them so much though. Had an 03 E85 and now daily a 07 E86.

[@slocarfr]

the 4 banger z3 is wayy underrated

[@JebidiahSpringfield]

I just found a z3 for 1500 with the 1.9 and Im buying it on monday. This video is helping me contain the excitement

[@AAzraelontop]

Man its fun around the corners but 2.3 is just painfully slow, as i itll take you minutes to max the speedo i couldnt even imagine the 1.9

[@JaredDixon]

My mother had a 1999 2.8 5-speed and it was a blast. The torque from the 2.8 I6 made it such fun, forgiving package.

[@Affalterbach1967]

2:09 Joy of e30 rear suspension, low-speed fun.

[@bobdorff1396]

Have one. Love it.

[@Mason.Hairylegs]

Amazing movie, amazing car! Childhood memories of self-enlightenment after playing goldeneye on the N64. Always loved that movie and the car. Simply amazing.

19:22 Its like when your ears finally pop after having a cold.

[@bengaltiger96]

All early to mid 90s BMW interiors were made to be recycled after use. Many of them began to "self-recycle" sooner than expected.

[@LeDawgNeverDies]

Great vid! Keep it up!

[@ryanpatterson9526]

I test drove one of these 1.9s in-period and I thought it was a gutless wonder. I will say it felt solid and heavy for its size.

[@jimmyfry22]

Yeah, I've got a '97. You are correct. It's under powered but it is fun. It's quiet, which I like. The only problem is that everything is so expensive to fix. Mine has 128k. But I'm not allowed to have a motorcycle so I got this. I wish I got the V6. But it does get a lot of looks...

[@ccollins_24]

Lmao another freakin car. Keep living life Chris!

[@jacobsoto7807]

Lets gooo! More Z3 content!

[@Affalterbach1967]

You could go crazy adding bracing for stiffness or find a 318ti Sport.

[@ukwan]

Nothing wrong with this car, apart from literally the most important safety feature 😂

[@coldisle]

Great video…did you sell it yet? I don’t have instagram

[@TopherDrives]

Thanks! I sold it back in June to a local guy who saw the video.

[@burgavo1127]

How hard is it to get hardtop for this vehicle?

[@masonchase085]

One just like this flew past me on the highway earlier today now this comes up in recommended

[@GAMERXHAZE]

hey this car is niceee also can u upload more of ur lexus gs400 i really love that car

[@hq7]

Nice car.

[@jc-ux1hv]

we need more of your z3m content

[@mtshark7]

Awesome car Chris!

[@acrain7]

Do you have any thoughts on the E34, specifically the 535, 530, or 540? I have an 89 Mercedes 300SE, and, as much of an incredible, couch-like joy as it is to drive, I'm really missing the manual experience and I cannot stop discovering rust! (also, the transmission is dying! Hooray.)

[@moritzckeller]

Hi - how much did you end up selling it for?

[@A2dy]

My Bf has a 2001 2.8 Z and it's interesting to see the differences!

[@af3rb1]

i would love to own that one or own one in general.

[@poturbg8698]

What's the mileage?

[@antinormieism3791]

nice car

[@SuperMrBentley]

how you "kinda bought"? its you bought it or not

[@SerPurple51]

What a pretty car! Looks really good after all the touch ups!

[@Aderin.]

My parents own one of these.

[@johnbaumstark823]

[@jordangordon2350]

[@TopherDrives]

[@alexhamto3236]

[@codyking5612]

[@ElliWoelfin]

Can't imagine having this amount of disposable income

[@nope.c]

It needs a Downing Atlanta Supercharger kit, with an Eaton blower ..

[@hdawg7195]

[@rootsmanuva82]

A really cool engine swap would be an S14 from an E30 M3. Ideally an S14B25 EVO3 with 235 hp. 100% financially irrational, but too cool to pass up if someone with deep pockets and connections could source such a thing (import an S14 EVO3 engine from Europe). I'm sure you could mimic an S14 with similar parts for FAR cheaper considering an M44 block is related to the S14. Yet another insane swap would be with an S42B20 from a German Super Tourenwagen Cup car... 276 hp to 315 hp depending on spec. One can dream... Maybe I can plant the seeds with someone with the means with such an utterly ridiculous fever dream.

Beside the ‘99

[@DefiNotAVampire]

Let me save up some money, nobody buy this or I’ll put a curse on you, thanks

[@JOONWOOKIYOTAKA]

literally me 😂

[@kingkong_style]

man, I like your channel and just ddiscovered it, but i can't stand this camera taped to forehead thing. I'm gonna try to look passed it but what was wrong with holding cameras lmao

[@michaelbrower6617]

It is a POV video. So the camera is positioned as to look as you’re looking through his eyes. Hence why it is attached to his cap.
