 The Z3 never interested me, but the 
looks and styling of the Z4 really 
caught my interest.  The handling and 
performance is terrific and you have 
the reputation and retention value that 
only BMW can provide.  Throw in the 
free service and maintenance during the 
warranty period and I am a happy, first-
time owner of a BMW, albeit with 
classic mid-life crisis symptoms.
