Welcome Clive from a fellow 2.2i owner...a year in and the handling is absolutely great if driven as it was designed - like a road car...drive it if you are on a track and of course you will have problems. Performance wise it's a great cruiser / tourer, fantastic on two European tours last year and no problems over the St. Gotthard pass or on the German Autobahns...just wind the top down and enjoy it

Hi, bought my Z3 two months ago, 2.2L. Read some reviews saying it was underpowered and had awful handling - just not true. Intended to buy an MX 5 but loved the looks of the Z3 and bought one instead. Right decision, I now enjoy driving again.
Welcome Clive

Thanks again everyone for the welcome. BTW this is my first BMW personally owned but my Dad had a 1938 Fraser Nash BMW 328 roadster, part of the Z3 heritage. I loved it. It is probably in a museum now, and I expect well worth over £300K. He sold it in 1963.

Deep respect for your dad's choice of car....Frazer Nash are the stuff of legends now. All we have to do is wait another 60 or so years to see if the Z3 is held in such high esteem :)

Welcome Clive!
Now you say it? Fraser Nash 328! Like the BMW 328 , both are my favorite historic cars ever! I would appreciate equally some pics of your Zed and of 328, if you still got any left!
Enjoy the car as I believe it's the modern 328! What's your father's opinion?

Fine choice Clive. For reasons I can't fully understand the Zed (with the exception of the M cars) remains a thoroughly under rated motor.
I think it's only a matter of time before this changes.

Cheers,

Jonno
