He's the original owner of this one, so it's definitely been well-maintained. 13 years old and only 30K miles, damn.

Well, his mom bought the car and was the primary driver. His dad is selling it.

reminds me of my former boss of a few years ago who sold his Acura Legend to get a "sporty" car and bought a Solara convertible. Then he sold that and bought an automatic Z3.

That must be one of the slowest BMWs in the last 25 years

$10,500?!?! You can't be serious.

[Edited on May 5, 2010 at 12:45 PM. Reason : $7k is more realistic]

only somewhat worthwhile as a shell to do an engine swap and cage. the 4cyl is too weak even with one of the turbo or supercharger kits out there.

Maybe it has so few miles because it is so f-ing slow, it takes longer to drive a mile than in a fast car? amiright?

It's only slow if you don't know how to hit your apexes son. Exit speed is everything when you don't have 300+ HP on tap.

I mean, yeah but no. I find that power/weight is a great indicator of lap times, and "momentum car" is just another way of saying underpowered. Sad but true, I mean I like 944s and e30s just as much as the next guy, but they are s-l-o-w, but I don't know if they're slower than a 4cyl Z3.

944s and E30s weren't that slow for their day. 16s in the 80s was like 13s today. seriously.

in my old age, I've kinda gotten to where I really don't need big power to have a good time in a sports car (not that I have anything against big power, of course)...but yeah, I'd never buy a 4cyl Z3.

and if I wanted to make a fast one, there's only one route I'd even consider:
