#6 of 25 general info on Z3 coupes by mattdahlgren

Doesn't look like this board sees much traffic... I'm looking into picking up a new Z3 coupe and would like to get some feedback from people who currently own one. Reliability? Fun factor? How much did you pay for it? Thanks in advance...

This is a fairly new discussion, and I'm working on getting more traffic over here. In the meantime, here's a direct link to our BMW Z3 buying price discussion on the Smart Shoppers message board. Please return here to share your purchase/ownership experience with us. Thanks!

Good luck.

I find the Z3 Coupe very reminiscent of the Old Jaguar E types. I also see the old Volvo 1800 series. There is something awkward yet very cool in these old cars. I see the same thing in the Z3
 
I'm reaaaaaly taken by the Z3 Coupe. It doesn't fit my plans right now. Maybe when they start coming off lease in the next few years will be the time to pick them up.

#9 of 25 TMV price by mattdahlgren

Could it be that people are really getting these things for less than $200 over invoice? I know I hardly ever see them on the streets of Seattle, but at they really that low in demand? According to Edmunds, invoice is $34,735 (incl. destination) and TMV is $34,913. That's a steal! Anyone out there have that kind of luck? I have yet to go see a dealer about the car.
 
And yes, this car definetly reminds me of the E-type.

I too am considering a Z3, albeit used, as a second car. What have you found out about reliability and maintenance costs? I was considering a Miata. What's turning me off the Mazda is that it is not cheap! For the extra $5K, I'd rather get a Bimmer (even if it is a couple years older).
 
My concern with the Bimmer is the high repair cost. In particular, how much to replace a clutch, brakes, and so forth??
 
Have you considered the M-B SLK?
