2002 BMW Z3 3.0L
I bought my Z3 in 2007 with 9K miles on it, got it for a great price. It's all original. I'm not sure if I'll do anything to it, it's really clean and just a blast to drive. I've always liked the lines on the Z3 reminds me of the roadsters in 60's. I had been looking for a Z3 M, couldn't pass this one up. I feel pretty lucky to have found one this nice.
