First time BMW owner

[Zack]

Good day gents

Let me introduce myself. My name is Zack and I'm based in Jozi. I am a first time BMW buyer and decided to go for a 1998 Z3. I'm 23 and my 6'th car, and I must say this is by far the best driving experience.

Sorry for the poor image quality. haven't had time to take some proper photos.

Welcome and congrats...which Z3 you got?...the one that shared the E36 328 motor? :thumbs:

Welcome man.

Lovely car you have there.

So what cars are we comparing this Z3 too? Seen as you have had 5 previously?

This is the Roadster with the 328/528 motor yes.

As for my previous car experience:

1: 2003 Daewoo matiz - When I was 18, wrote it off within 3 weeks
2: 1999 Mazda Astina - nice car until engine started to give problems
3: 2004 Audi 1.8T - Had nothing but problems so only had it for 2 months.
4: 1998 Ford Falcon XR6 - Beast! But at 4L straight 6 the fuel consumption was killing me
5: 2006 MG ZR 2.0TDi - Very nice, but then started to give me hassles. Oil leaks, boost pipes, injectors etc... So got rid of it as well.

Thanx guys. To be honest I grew up under my fathers influence that BMW is a snob car. But I guess he never understood passion...
