  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    A lot of car, but still expensive compared to peers.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Rating would be higher if depreciation wasn't so much. Would definitely recommend buying second-hand.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Excellent overall, but limited view (rearview mirror too big) and head touches the roof before seat adjustment is fully up.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Excellent for the size, but would recommend spending a little more on the bigger engine sizes.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    As you'd expect from a BMW.

    Level of head turning surprised me, considering how 'common' Z3s are now.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Excellent for a 2-seater, but don't expect it to act like an MPV on long journeys!

  • Security and Service

    Security

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Can't fault them.
