Roadsters have always been part of BMW tradition. These cars have been part of BMW's everexpanding range for a long time. These include the 328, the famous 507 and of course, the Z1. The Z3 is a long line of BMW Roadsters....everything a roadster should be. Style, tradition and heritage...the Z3 has it all. When the Z3 was released, it instantly joined it's predecessors as an instant classic. The car has a nice combanation of old and new styling cues. The air vents on the side of the body reminds us onf similar vents which were on the 507. The new sharp nose is a great interpetation of the BMW shape. Overall, the Z3 looks macho and agressive without being too agressive....
