My new to me Z3

I picked up my 2.8 Z3. An approved BMW purchase and all things considered I think I got a good deal. It's a different beast altogether compared to my MGB roadster!

I didn't think it was that funny.

Going back to the original MGB/Z3 comparison, when I first had the idea of an open sports car in 1998 I hired an MGF for a week to decide whether my wife and I could live with an open car. Having already owned six BMW 3 Series, we were used to something which was much better bolted together. It just didn't feel right. When I first took a Z3 out for a test drive (albeit a 1.9 rather than the 2.8 I eventually opted for), it immediately felt much more solid and the sort of thing I was used to.

Now I'm puzzled why you're puzzled.

My first drive was in a 1.9, but the car I eventually decided to buy was a 2.8.

As Mr T thinks I'm easily confused (due to my age

) I'm trying to keep young

I'd be looking for a refund Tim
Trade Descriptions etc
That's not angling - all I can see is curves
