Author's Review
I was looking at a beautiful car in the Kash & Karry parking lot when, suddenly, a voice yelled out, "What the hell are you doing near my car!" I jumped back to find a fiftyish year old female glaring at me. I explained that I was looking for another car since my 13 year old Honda Accord was rear ended. Well, she calmed down and told me two things to remember: 1) How many times do you live? and 2) When you get to be my age, your butt deserves leather!
With those words in my head, I knew the car of my dreams was out there and I found it by accident 3 weeks later. I must confess, it was the LOOK that grabbed me and the RIDE that sold me. My purchase of the 2001 Topaz Blue, BMW Z3, 2.5 was made on site at the local BMW Dealership and I've never regretted it,never. The look was that of a woman laying naked on the bed, the rear hubwheel area reminding me of beautiful hips and buttocks and your eye just moves along towards the hood. "How do you like this land shark?" the salesperson asked me. "Let's go!" was my reply. The seating is ideal for anyone under 6 feet and the controls, while not the sport version, were well laid out. Nothing too fancy, just right. When you turn the engine over, the power rumbles into your groin area. Ah, a straight six gives power in the belly of this beautiful beast. Hang on to the wheel as you might lose control the first time out. It will fool you. You simply don't expect this type of acceleration with your body being pushed into the seat. Also, get use to the stares from others. Regardless of driving it or having it parked, people will turn heads to admire it. Check it out, I'm not making this stuff up.
