But they drive so nice and reliably come in RWD!  ;D

Perception. Just like we know the American made M1A1 Abrams is a kick ass tank. But given the choice, we'd rather a German built Lepard.  ::)

yeah the chassis that the Z3 uses dates back to the e90 with some kinda semi-trailing arm design. Not very good for handling purposes. The reinforced M Coupe is better for handling.

Z3 dating back to the e90?  You mean the newest 3 series?   :think:

I think he meant the e30.  It has that funky trailing arm design if I'm recalling correctly.

Now THAT's a sexy car.  I'd take it exactly as it is except for that chin spoiler.  Beautiful machine.

I  think the Z4  looks mighty sexy, curves and all.  ;) Would love to have one.

The Z3 has the E36 chassis, but has the rear suspension design from the E30 for packaging reasons. When the car is over 160Km/h and turning hard, you can feel the rear end is getting nervous and twitching, but that doesn't mean it can't go fast.

Agreed, Initial D.  The sounds from the I-6's with the top down are glorious too -- even on the old Z3 2.8.  Classic styling that still looks every bit as sexy today as it did when it was introduced.
