Z3 is a hairdresser's special. Z4 is great if you want an S2000 but feel like blowing another $10k for no apparent reason.

Ripsnort, see my other post.

if you have disposable income, you need to start skydiving again. Bring the missus too.

Then we can do a threeway

heheh.. Finally took the dive and took a Z4 for a test drive. I was wasting time while my buddy has his 325Xi serviced. I do have to ask why are these guy's salamander's. (sales staff)

As far as being nimble.. heh... let just say they didn't improve it. Though I do like the silky sound of the I-6. Something my Miata is missing.

However, my fun factor rates it at 5. Needs to shead a few hundred pounds. Top works really nice..and the interior. Well, if you like weird and funky its cool.

Wooo hooo! She changed her mind!

I knew she'd come to her financial common sense!

We'll revisit the "do you really need a new car?" question next spring...meanwhile, when the boat show comes to town in Febuary.....

I've driven a Z3 and didn't think it was that hot compared to the MR-2 given the price. Never driven the Z-8 but given BMW have yanked it only a few years after its introduction and given its lack of sales, it seems neither they nor the public were too impressed with it either.

That ok with you Saudaorker or should I email you a re-draft for your approval?

No, thats not necessary - I was just curious if your vehicle analysis was from the drivers seat, passenger seat, or Motor Trend.

Umm, you could still buy Z8's up until last year...and they're quite an automobile...however I don't have $130,000 lying around

(I hope you're not confusing the 8 series with the Z8 ?)

ROFLMAO !!!
god, I love that!

honeslty, so far anyway, hasn't cost anything but tires n gas

Dowding · « **Reply #28 on:** August 04, 2003, 01:44:32 PM »

Nope - I'm talking about the Z8. They only made it for a couple of years before giving it the chop and they only made a few thousand worldwide. It never met its sales targets, IIRC.
