What driving should profess to be...
 Overall I would rate this car a definite buy with a few caveats.  First, take a close look on all the repair work done on this vehicle.  As most 1998 Beamers will have over 100,000 miles, I would be aware of what has been done and what is needed to ensure no surprises and fun in the sun.  Make sure all 30,000 mileage inspections aII have been performed along with upkeep with the interior and tires.  In addition, I would check all BMW's part recall information such as the thermostat replacement.  My experience with the Z3 for the last 4+ years has been great.  The car has a great engine and I feel the handling is decent.  If you do your homework, you'll be very happy...
