I have a 99 Z3 what I got for 2500 bucks. The top is good and most of the shit works for the most part. I drive it and have fun. I can say that while it is a fun car I would have never bought it if I could have found a Miata in that condition for that same price. I did learn my lesson. The parts for that thing are way more then they should be. I wish I had looked a little harder for a Miata.
I knew exactly one BMW driver in my life, he was a marketing firm executive, looked like a character from Better Call Saul. I was in charge of marketing for a small company that I lied to about my qualifications and ended up a VP of marketing, so this guy comes roaring up one day and parks across two spaces in his BMW convertable, cigar in mouth, aviator shades, cheap suit and loud tie, he just always wanted to “make things happen.”
Absolute cartoon character. I have to say I kind of loved every interaction, it was like a recurring character on a sitcom.
Anyway, about all I remember was him complaining how hard it was to get the thing serviced and the wheels alone set him back the cost of another car.
I hated marketing, but I also hated the unemployment that followed when the housing market bubble burst and suddenly nobody had money anymore.
The BMW-driver stereotypes are real too.
