I bought a Z3, a 6cyl 2.8 from 1998 recently and I used this video to be well-informed on what to look for.
With this information and really taking the time while buying, you can see what kind of maintenance you can expect in the coming months or years and if it's worth buying.
Thanks so much for this thorough explainer video! Really enjoying my Z3 as a daily driver!

Z3 coupes are just one of those unique cars that stand out, I have liked them for a long time, very jealous and congrats!

Your video is without doubt the best review of bying a used car  i ever have seen. Great 👍

It’s also a good idea to check the rear sway bar mounts on these. They tend to brake off due to corrosion. Also alway open the boot floor not only for signs of accident damage but for cracked spot welds between the two rear strut towers, this is a common problem with these cars as well.

Thank you for your in depth  eval. I have the 1.9l 1997 75k mi.. It has been very easy to maintain. Parts are easily obtained.

My wife fell in love with a 2000 Z3 Roadster so we bought it. This video was very helpful to gain familiarity to the BMW since I'm a Ford Pickup  driver 😋.  Thank you!

Amazing video, thanks so much for sharing such detailed information. Growing up as a kid, the Z3 was the car poster I had on my wall. I'm now in a place in life that I can afford to buy one and this is a fantastic guide as to what I should be looking for. Thanks so much!

Thank you for this video. I am planning to buy one. That is really helpful.

I bought a z3 roadster 3 liter  just two weeks ago everything checks out except the a power steering leak somewhere thanks for the advice and great filming

Amazing video. I own a 2002 Z3 Coupe 3.0 automatic , Black with red seats.  I do my best to take care of it and enjoy the drive.
This video has so much info on what to look for incase of issues. So far none with mine.

Very informative video. I don’t have the luxury of having a Coupe, and I have the roadster with 2.5L (year 2000). I am the original owner and I only have 56,000km on it. It was stored for the last 4 years and I will put it back on the road in the very near future. Have a great day.

I got my '98 Coupe last year and I had minor clunking noises. I changed the fluids in the transmission and differential and the noises were gone. Additionally, the gear changes got much smoother, especially while cold.

Nevertheless, a great video, wished this video would be available last year.

Outstanding video. Working my way around my 2.8 Roadster. It’s a thing of beauty!

Learned alot from the video, best in depth "what to look for" in a Z3. I'm still searching for mine. Just subscribed, thank you.

I learned a lot by watching your videos.
Great channel and I love watching it.
Many greetings from Serbia .

Great video, very helpful. I’ve just got a Z3 roadster 2.2 ‘barn find’ (but it has been really well looked-after) that hasn’t been driven 2010-2013, so I’ll look at all of the points you’ve shown.

Thank you so much, sir. This video was very helpful as in I am going to look at a Z3 3.0 in two days. Very thoughtful of you to make this video and is very helpful for anybody in the market.

Excellent evaluation of the possible problems.

We all aspire to be a such a well rounded mechanic. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

The Z3 Coupe is one of my favorite BMW models of all time.  Congratulations, it looks like you have found a great one.  Very good color also.
