New Car - Z3

[german g]

nice, I have always wanted a 4 banger Z3 for a DD..Since it shares ALOT of suspension parts with E30s, how does it seem to compare handling wise to your e30?

I have to say the Z3 is a better handling car, but that's comparing them stock. And my E30's suspension is pretty worn--if my E30 were a stick and had new suspension pieces, it'd be closer, but the Z3 would win because it's lighter.

Now, if you started adding new springs, Bilstien shocks, etc., they'd probably be pretty similar.

Nygdup, I could've bought a '99 Z3 2.8 with 71,000 miles for the same price, but it wasn't in the same league as the one I bought as far as care and maintenance were concerned.
