Picked up another German Car (Not Mercedes)

Woke up this morning thinking I needed a Porsche Cabrio. Went to look at one and bought this instead. I've never owned a BMW, but this thing is a kick to drive! They also had a Z4, but I like the lines of the Z3 better. It's in very nice condition with one owner and 55,000 miles. Whatcha think?

Nice! That'll fit right in with the rest of the collection.

I like the Z3 better than the Z4. The Z3 is a much more raw machine, like a German Miata. Looks like you got a great one!
So this makes FOUR rag-tops? Surely you can give me the one you like least

That makes five ragtops. The Jag, Mercedes Cabrio, SL600, Maserati, and now the BMW.
And yes, it's the five speed manual tranny.

Hey Powerpig, I have some killer rims and tires to fit that they would look great on the Bimmer.

Nice car! I like the Z3 much more than the Z4. My uncle has an 07 Z4 that rides way to stiff for what it is.

Back in HS my old shop teacher had the M coupe version of that car. It was wicked!

OK, I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I see convertible and I see "girls car". Especially in the little Bimmer or Miata.
I'm just sayin'.........

**the SL's are the exception, and maybe a Carerra**

Not at all, a lot of people think that. Personally I think convertibles tend to be more uncomfortable, loud, hot, etc so I can't see more women liking them than car guys.

But really, it is hard to beat a winding road, with the top down on a summer night, during a full moon... bonus points if you listen to "Moonlight Drive" by The Doors

I'd really prefer a convertible that attracts women than a man-car that attracts men
