Miles Overview
The Z3 is BMW's two-seat roadster, a compact convertible that's more about back-road fun than long-distance comfort. It's a small, nimble car that feels quick and eager, with direct steering that makes it a joy on twisty roads. Inside, it's snug but not cramped, and the trunk is surprisingly roomy for a roadster of this size. Owners mention the soft top can leak around the rear window as it ages, and repairs tend to be pricey. The 2.8 is the step up from the base 1.9, trading the four-cylinder for a smooth, torquey inline-six that transforms the car. Its 2.8L I6 makes 190 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque, enough to push this 2,690 pounds-pound roadster with real enthusiasm, though the five-speed automatic dulls the edge a bit.
