The 2.8L BMW Z3

[@georgemouse5328]

In 2020 I was fortunate enough to discover a 97 2.8 Z3 in a misplaced ad in Auto Trader. A one owner seldom driven and always maintained with all the documentation. It was in Calgary Alberta and has been my daily driver in Saskatchewan ever ever since. It looks out of place in a sea of white pick-ups and SUV's but that only adds to my enjoyment.

I HAVE BMW Z3 1999, I LOVE MY Z3. I DRIVE IT EVERYDAY AND EVERYDAY IS A FUN DAY

[@shinigami117s8]

Well Id say awesome job to them back then. Its an awesome car! I have the 2.5l version.

[@nickfunk5804]

I have a '98 Z3 2.8L roadster and love it. Even though I don't have subframe issues, I blame BMW for not accepting the blame for poor design and strength of the subframe tearing apart.

[@tl56kmair]

Nick Funk yep, the car was never designed for the sixes, they should have done a complete redesign on the sub frame to handle the extra power. I have the 1.9 and love it but sometimes I wish it had more power

[@salami99]

crazzy they used water based paint in 1994, that's insane to me

[@AJoseph0007]

owned the 1.9 the 2.5 another 1.9 and a 2.8... moving to the uk soon and want to buy the 1.8 and I still have never owned the 3.0 or the 3.2 LOVE THIS CAR

[@dajusta87]

Do you find that the 1.8 is too slow?? Or still good and fun to drive??

[@alepepperoni2563]

@@dajusta87 it'll be fun to drive although sluggish

[@DaytonCarCare]

What I didn't like about the Z3 is zero adjustments for alignment for the rear and minimal for the front. Though you can purchase an aftermarket kit for the rear that some pieces have to be welded in.

Why all the music when the straight 6 sings its own wonderful note!!!

@ 3:03 anyone have that steering wheel for sale?

[@alepepperoni2563]

That steering wheel is nice

[@brianevans673]

Never saw that wheel on a Z3. My best guess is that it was from the BMW Individual division. Good luck finding one!

[@DaytonCarCare]

@@brianevans673 4 years ago... sold my Z3 a couple years back

[@JohnDoe-ip5uu]

[@Delmarksman]

How about less band music and more engine music, please!

[@robben896]
