Last Fall, I picked up a stablemate for my old ragtop. 40K miles on the Z, manual, bought from mechanical engineer original owner with an immaculate looking garage.
So far, I like the Z a lot. Way less shaky, smelly, noisy, and weird than my E30. Sadly, I can't afford to keep both, so will have to decide between them in the next couple months. All maintenance items on the Z cost 4X+ what they do on the E30.
E30 now has 74K miles, California rust free original, factory 5 speed, original black leather, virgin dashboard. All stock except H&R OE Sport springs and KYB shocks and struts. 15X8 rotas with 225/45/15 Rivals. Sorry about the gold color; all they had in stock when I needed wheels.
Help me decide which to keep. Obviously, this is an E30 forum, but keep in mind I have been daily driving 4 different E30s for the last 10 years, so I'm familiar with the joys and the miseries.
