Z3 forever

[Paddywack]

Hi everyone.
I have owned my black 2002 z3 2.2 sport for 13 years and it has now done 200,000 miles, it is still driving like a dream. I drive it every day and it brings a smile to my face every time I drive it.
I test drove a new 45k 2019 bmw 420 sport this week which is a fantastic machine but couldn't match the driving pleasure that the z3 gives me.

It’s 17 years newer and has lost its soul Paddywack. Some would say the same about my Z4 but I won’t buy into that.

Hi Mint, how long have you had yours ? And have you had Any major repairs.

Bought my 2.2 in Sep 2011. No majors and apart from service items and tyres I've changed the water pump and thermostat and the alternator. Did have to have the exhaust repaired after I hit a small rock which damaged the downpipe flange.

What about you?

My Z3lda is over 21 years old, and has been kept very well. She got a Rosette at a car show in June!



Bonzo.
