The BMW Z3 certainly knew how to come out. This car looked like it came from a gun barrell manufacturing company, along with Pierce Brosnan in the James Bond flick GoldenEye shortly before its introduction for model-year 1996. The allure of this celebrity endorsement, around with all of the excitement of this being BMW’s first roadster, put a lot of popularity onto the Z3. Neiman Marcus’ 1995 Christmas catalog showcased the luscious sports car as the perfect Christmas gift, and it launched a sales stampede that resulted in sold-out Z3 numbers for BMW before the first model even hit showroom floors.
The public still adores the Z3, and the romance shows no signs of waning. Underneath, the Z3 chassis was behind the times, but the body lines were not - very much a good part of the eye candy.

But these imperfections are pretty minor. If you can pick this up used, then you will find an affordable sports car without spending a major wad of cash. If you want to get a used convertible, then the BMW Z3 is a smart choice for those looking to put the top down.
