BMW Z3 (1996-2003)

We Say...
Bond may have driven it, but it immediately lost its appeal when the Boxster came out. The Z3 may be had with a variety of choices, but the one that made the most splash is the 2.2i model with independent rear suspension and a bigger motor. Commonality, especially with parallel imports, ruin resale.
First to the luxury roadster crowd.
It didn't go far from there.
