My little "ugly" coupe
 I bought my 2001 Z3 coupe about a year and a half ago.  It has never stopped turning heads (one of the reasons I bought it in the first place).  The car performs the way one would expect a BMW to perform... with elan and enthusiasm.  The styling is what I love about the car, above performance.  It's been described as looking "like a high top tennis shoe", but that's usually with an appreciative smile.  The car has been very reliable, as one would expect from this manufacturer.  I expect I'll keep this car forever... after all, since the coupe is no longer manufactured, it will only become more unique with the passing of time.
