It's like riding a motorcycle but with more protection. Nothing wrong with it and everything is wonderful!
It will always look great if you take care of it and it sounds like a dream!

Stand out in the crowd of SUVs everyone else is driving!
I love my car. It is easy to park, great pick up speed when I drive in traffic. I am short so am very comfortable in the car although taller people do have problems getting in and out. It is convertible so sometime leaks around the windows and the top when I drive in heavy rain. Repairs and maintenance are expensive. Premium gasoline is expensive but I get good mileage. I have close to 170, 000 miles on it and most of my repairs have been maintenance not major.

Fun five speed BMW with lots of get up and go.
This z3 has been a great car. It is dependable, good looking and fun to drive. It is a 5 speed manual transmission and has lots of get up and go. It was in a garage during winters. The z is a classic with under 100, 000 miles and I'll drive it for many years to come.

Older BMW, But Still Living and Best Car Ever
It's been the best car I've ever had. It has had an oil leak for many years, but have tried to remedy that and it has 216k miles so far. I would love to be able to continue to drive it for as long as I can.
