My Z3 is the third two seater convertible I have either owned or regular access to.
The first was a red MX5 (ex wife's actually)
The second a red Alfa Spider.
Third and current red Z3.
Red is a favourite and they don't do many in yellow!
Anyway the times I drove the MX5 it never got any attention.
The Alfa got an awful lot of attention and was likened to a Ferrari on two occasions.
The Z3 though not likened to any Ferrari (or expensive BMW) still gets plenty of attention.
Just last night I am dropping my fiancee off for work, she's a carer so it's not always the same place. Anyway there were a few kids, around 9 years old on push bikes slowly approach the car. As my fiancee gets out they ask if it is hers/ours and comment on how good it looks. That was roof up
I have had similar driving home from work roof down and dropping her off at the office too. Various ages but none older than 20 and both men and women.
Makes me smile because my fiancee does not like it and harks for that Alfa (which was kind of hers anyway).
I guess being a convertible helps but the Z3 (and Z4 I suspect) gets the attention because of that long bonnet. They do look dandy. Is this normal?
