Used 2000 BMW Z3 2.3 Roadster RWD for Sale near Victoria, BC

It looks great, fun to drive, very cool AC, Excellent sound system, electric top fast to set up,no major mechanical problems, maintenance was always done. It keeps its value, 52,000 miles in a BMW is nothing. You will love it.

The Z3's low end acceleration is weak but the high end acceleration is quick and responsive. The braking capabilities are fair unfortunately pads and rotors wear out quickly. Handling is very tight and responsive, it is comfortable at high speeds and solid in corners. The car is fun to drive and the overall performance is satisfying. It is very well built and designed. The engine is solid and rarely has any mechanical issues and I have yet to have a problem with the drive line.The worst problem I've had mechanically is the mass air flow meter. Apart from routine maintenance it rarely needs any attention. The body is aerodynamic and responds well to wind and high speeds. The top is the weak point to the exterior, the stitching has an annoying habit of coming undone and the plastic back glass is easily scratched. The interior doesn't respond well to age and has far too many weak plastic pieces. The overall appearance is pleasing. The paint has nice depth and compliments the curvature of the body. The roadster version has a body designed to be an instant classic, with the top down it is very sporty and aesthetically appealing. The interior is sporty and comfortable for a sports car, there is plenty of leg room. It has just the right amount of accents, although I don't care much for the mock wood grain. The cost of owning the car is less than I originally expected. Fuel mileage is fair for the straight six under the hood, you can expect 24 mpg in the city and roughly 30 mpg on the highway. Fill up from empty is acceptable as the fuel tank caps out at 10 gallons. The oil change has a tendency to be a bit expensive as it requires 6.5 quarts of full synthetic oil and the filter averages out at 14 dollars. The wear items wear according to the driver. It is very low maintenance for a BMW. The BMW Z3 is very fun to drive and has a lot to offer. Whether you like to drive around town, glide down curvy roads, or even drift through corners then the car is a thrill to own. However, if running red light to red light or running the drag track is your preference then this car is not for you. Over all the Z3 is very fun to drive.

It's a great car that I'd recommend. It could definitely use a boost in Acceleration, so I'd recommend the 2.8 or Z3M over this car. Cost of ownership is great. Mass produced car with plenty of parts available on eBay at low costs. Lots of do it yourself guides. This car gets more attention than a lot of the newer BMW'z (barring the newly redesigned Z4). The Engine sound is melodic. Handling is superb (just make sure you over- inflate your tires slightly. Around 35- 36 psi) The standard Pleather seats are a true drag and take away greatly from the overall feel of the car, so make sure you get one with the real Leather seat upgrades (believe me...very important. pleather = slip and slide, dry and cracked). Absolutely would buy another one, although with the Z3M model for the bigger engine. The only reason I got rid of this one is because I crashed it just last night. :(

I take really good care of this car and it takes care of me. It is a pleasure to drive although it could use more power. I enjoy the handling and the community of owners that follow the Z3. Thanks

It's my first convertible and the first BMW. I have alway wanted one and I am very excited. I am especially impressed with the structural stability, absolutely no rattles. Suspension is extremely tight and smooth. All this, from a car with 96,000 miles on it.
