 Used to own a '97 2.3L Z3....this 2.8L 
is much better.  The power behind this 
car is incredible, it's very fun to 
drive.  The added roll bars provide 
better security.  The seats are 
incredible:  heated, holding 
capability, and comfort all rolled into 
one.  Not very practical, but that's 
not its purpose.  It's a very fun toy!
