Rare Opportunity To Drive A Preproduction BMW Z3 3.0i From BMW Group Classic 

Thanks for letting me join along in this special ride !

I love my 1998 Z3 2.8. I have owned it now for 23 years. Along side my two Z4 and i4 M50. Very nice review of the now classic Z3.

It has power steering. The button on the key is not for power locks. It is a light to fine the door lock in the dark.

That’s my dream car

I have a 2002 Z3 2.5i and I love it. Never seen a winter and in great shape.

Love my z4 3.0i with sport package

One of my customers owned a M version of the Z3 it was a fun car to drive .

Nice!!! BMW very good!

The Z3 is a very emotional car for me. When I was in high school my mom had a brand new, fully loaded 2.8(even with the hardtop) that we both absolutely loved. It really sparked my love of cars, and I insisted on learning how to drive manual so I could get a chance behind the wheel. I got to drive it a couple of times before she had to trade it in(siblings were having kids, so she needed a larger car). We both sorely missed the Z3. Last summer I bought an almost identical(even with the hardtop) '01 3.0i with about 43K on the clock, just in time for my mom and I to make our usual summer road trip. We absolutely loved it; it brought back as many memories as we made. It's such an incredible machine; I'm going to drive it as much as I'm able to and keep it as it is. It's one of those cars I'll never part with.

I had a 2000 Z3 and it was a great convertible and it did feel fast 0-60, but not so much accelerating at highway speeds. Unfortunately, it spent a lot of time at the dealer with a hard to find leak that kept shorting the electrics.

I think the new cameras are good, and I believe the color is Boston Green. I had a 2002 BMW 535i in Oxford Green and it was a lighter shade.

i have a z3 3.0 for 3 years now. The rear trailing arm is the limiter on windy roads making it a 6/10ths car. the front suspension is e36 but the rear is stuck in 1970 and you can feel it

One of my favorite cars. Need to drive the 2002 M Roadster with the 315HP S54..... It's spicy 🔥

Owned black 2001 Z3 Coupe for 2 yrs. Almost got an "excessive start" ticket after owning it for 20 minutes but was never pulled over for the duration of ownership. Was chipped so could go from 0-60 in 3.4 sec. 🤤 Sold back to dealer for half what I paid. sad day. There's a movie short of a Z3 driving from central Paris to a river at full speed at 6am to meet a girl. Had snow tires so could drive all yr round, never got stuck in snow. Had one electrical issue which was easy fix, otherwise solid reliability. Google lost track of my registration. 🤧

Got to love these older cars that have been kept in a time capsule. Looks like you were teleported back into the '90s from how new it looks. I had no idea the code name was E36/7, so the underpinnings must be shared with the E36 somehow? A google search will answer that..

That indeed appears to be Oxford Green, Boston is much more blue.

I have fond memories of this car, I almost put my friend's Z3 into a curb trying to drifting it 😂

What are the numbers of this version? 0-60, hp, nm??

How tall are you. Would I at 6ft. 2inchs fit in the drivers seat?

Mystery lifted! Kyle is 4 years younger than me 😉

This Z3 is Oxford Green. Boston Green is much lighter. The Engine bay is correct.

The osmo action 3 is way better then gopro. The action 3 has great horizon levelling and great rock steady (image Stabilisation). Had no issues with it so far. Recorded lots of great videos with it. Gopro so many issues. Main is over heating and not best video quality.

I owned a 2000 Z3 M Coupe. Nice car is many ways but I never liked its heavy feeling. To be honest I had more fun tossing around my much slower VW GTI (Mk2).

I like DJI products!

Another button-down shirt? Kyle is going for that GQ look.

Thats too quiet. My 2001 3.0 has Eisenenmann period correct sport cat back exhaust. I put a set of MICHELIN PILOT SPORT 4S on today.

This exact model needs to be benchmarked for an EV version. But not until the battery packs are much lighter and you won’t need as big of one to get 120 miles.

GoPros are trash, DJI is great and I used all versions of them over the years without a problem.

How many kids will watch this trying to figure out this stick shift thing ?

The one thing you'll never get out of an EV unfortunately

That is not an M54 engine. It is the M 52

why?

Kyle some people are speculating that you and Alyssa have broken up. Can you please confirm or deny this, please.

Good review but too long, too much useless information.

She doesn't look very thrilled 😮 😁
