Just bought my first BMW- a 2003 Z4 3.0
I've always owned mustangs since I was 16. I started out with a 1995 V6, a year later I moved to a new 1998 GT. I wound up supercharging it...and then bending a couple rods. A complete forged rebuild later I decided that I wanted to have something less nice to drive daily (and to drive into the city since I was getting ready to start law school) and bought a 1991 Talon TSi AWD.
I got sick of fixing the Talon every weekend (if I never see another vacuum hose, so much the better) and worrying about when something was going to break on the Mustang. I sold the Mustang in December of 2005 and ordered a 2005 GT. It arrived in April and I sold the Talon. Then last year I decided to buy a Suzuki SV650 to ride around for fun.
This summer, while studying for the bar, something snapped and I decided that I needed a convertible (because I clearly need a 2 seater convertible and a motorcycle).
After a bit of searching, I came across the 2003 Z4 at a local BMW dealer. It was pretty much exactly what I wanted- seems extraordinarily well maintained, the right color, 6 speed manual, sport package, etc. I got the dealer to the price I wanted and decided to pick it up. Now I just have to sell the Mustang.
I'm really enjoying the car so far, and this forum has already been immensely helpful
