18 years with my Coupe. Can't imagine selling it...

@TheMetalButcher 9 лет назад

You talk about the wide rear fenders not being on the roadster, but my 99 2.3 definitely has them. It just depends on the version.

Enjoyable review!

@TheGetawayer 9 лет назад

I love these cars and this was another great review, buddy ! Little known fact: The Z3 was based on the E36 Compact. I owned one of those as my first car and loved it. Pedals are great for heel&toe btw...I wish BMW still made small light cars like this. Keep the videos coming !

@autonauts 9 лет назад

Yes, I was in such a hurry to shoot the video before the car went to its new owner, that I neglected to give all those important technical facts! Oops! In any case, the Z3 Coupe is a very cool piece of engineering, I'd really like to own a Z3 M Coupe some day--if the non-M Z3 is so much fun to drive, the Z3 M must be totally bonkers. Thanks for the comment, Guido!

@autonauts 9 лет назад

Thanks! Look for more in the coming weeks!

.. you can disable the DSC with the push of a button. ... not a problem.

@naperking 5 лет назад

That defeats the purpose.

@leventahmed82 4 года назад

Is it worth paying more for a 3.0 versus a 2.5 l? Doesn't make that much of a difference two paid 1 to $2,000 more for it?

@Paulygoku 9 лет назад

One of my favorite cars

@autonauts 9 лет назад

johnny paseo Mine too. It's a definitive classic.

really cant "top" the Z3 3.0 convertible, if you live in mild climate

@papatorr3669 6 лет назад

You sold your z3 Coupe? It's not like you're gonna benefit from a convertible in Oregon (?). Somehow: "we reject most what we resemble most" may apply here. Which, pray tell, car fits you better, do you own now?

@marshman033 9 лет назад

production #s of convertible 279.273 vs 2,071 of z3 coupe 2,858 Mcoupe. Big difference, good review though the lack of experience with that manual transmission is what kept you from really having fun with that auto at higher limits, i've driven that auto many times before and have yet to find a more complacent, communicative auto with such a short wheelbase aside of elise, feel brave shut DSC OFF

@autonauts 9 лет назад

Yes, there was quite a big difference in the production numbers! I definitely had a great time with the car, and I really liked the manual transmission. I wasn't rev-matching on downshifts, because I'm still learning that technique. The few times I have shut off DSC, it was a great driving experience as it really requires you to focus on the drive. Thanks for your comment!

These are becoming great classic, while their M version coupe is already regarded as a collector... I never really liked BMW as a general luxury car maker... but when their engineers and designers open the valves, they can create some of the greatest cars ever: Z1, Z8, Z3 Coupe, M1, 3.0 CSL Batmobile, M3 CSL... And please don't bother me with the i8, yes it looks good and has great technology, but can't come even close to cars like the aforementioned...

@johnsurs22 9 лет назад

RamboLambo002 I also like the BMW 840/850 from a design perspective. However, I've never driven one.

@rougeandrei9095 6 лет назад

I like BMW but when Im talking about luxury its Mercedes-benz. BMW is for quality

@olimphus26 7 лет назад

i saw one of these the other day parked at burger king and i was wondering what car was it, i honestly didnt know this z3 coupe existed, LOL

@Alopecia101 9 лет назад

does it make sense to get a car like this or the roadster convertible today? it's date and I wonder if there are enough parts to go around just in case. When i saw these and the convertible when I was in high school 15 years ago, I told my self i'll own one someday and now that I can, I'm not exactly sure anymore. :)

@azthundercloud 9 лет назад

Jozhua Amahit parts are there. the running gear is a z3, coupe or convertible. these vehicles are a blast to drive. even when it is sitting in your garage it still brings on a grin just knowing you have one.

@autonauts 9 лет назад

Jozhua Amahit Let's just say that I regret selling mine. Like azthundercloud said, the parts are around, and there is a big community surrounding these cars from which you can get info. My Z3 3.0 Coupe had about 105,000 miles on it when I sold it, it was rock solid still, and more than once uninformed onlookers told me they thought it was a brand new BMW. Sometimes I laughed. Go for it! You only live once and the Z3 is a special machine.

@krohn27 9 лет назад

Nice video, tell me about your camera/mic setup!

@autonauts 9 лет назад

Thanks KROHN27! I'm using a 7D and a GoPro. For audio I have a simple lapel mic clipped on my shirt, and hooked up to an older GoPro in my pocket. A workaround, for now.

@JackpodyDK 9 лет назад

This was also a really nice review, but you really have to do something about the intro to the video. 16 seconds of the logo is just too long time, especially because it's mostly static. When we take a look at the large car channels like /Drive and MotorTrend, they both have very short intros (/Drive's being less than 2.5 seconds long). If anything, just remove the intro and make an outtro - it'll keep the viewer attention much higher and it'll really help you get out there.

@autonauts 9 лет назад

Thanks for the input! This channel will likely be growing and changing for some time, so these kind of comments are quite helpful. Much appreciated!

@ilfred6857 9 лет назад

Very nice, this BMW. In the video, you are able to ride in flip-flops, or you've driven barefoot better?

@autonauts 9 лет назад

Thanks for the comment, I have to go barefoot while in the car, driving a manual with flip-flops on is still out of my reach :)

@ilfred6857 9 лет назад

Very well. I drive a manual car, and I also, I drive barefoot when I wear flip-flops. Although Italy is also allowed to drive in flip flops. as well as barefoot, I argue that barefoot driving much better and safer, and sensibility.

@autonauts 9 лет назад

Crosley Chicco It is definitely allowed to drive in flip flops here, but I'm not able to do it yet at my skill level! Barefoot driving can be better, with a manual transmission.

@ilfred6857 9 лет назад

AutoNauts Yes, much better to drive barefoot, in this case. The flip-flops can cause problems on the pedal. better not to risk it. I myself, as I said, I drive better barefoot.
