I think the whole thing about "that's a girl's car" is really goofy. I have seen this topic on several boards over the past few years, and it seems to be a regional thing. For example, in Florida they might think a Toyota MR2 is a girl's car, but in the midwest they say they have never even seen a girl driving an MR2?!?!?!
The only car I classify as a girl's car is the VW Bug with a Daisy on the dashboard.

When you are looking at Z3s have the rear subframe mounts and body looked at for any signs of cracking. This is not a common problem on Z3s but it is known to occur if the car has been driven hard or raced.
If you are looking at a non-BMW dealership purchase, take it to a BMW dealer for a presale inspection. I did this when I bought the 325i. They charged me around $100 and gave me a written report. In my case, the independent dealer was completely honest - what he told me about the car was EXACTLY what the dealer reported.
The Z4 will have a stiffer ride and more precise handling than the Z3. That is, unless the Z3 is a tricked out ///M Roadster like Big Daddy's!!!

I used to own a Jag E-type (XKE) and that was supposed to be a chick's car, my wife had an RX-7...that was a chick's car.
...and who was the female model driving the Ferrari 308 in Lampoon's "Vacation"...I think this girl thing is getting too much.
good news is that I haven't seen a girl drive an Abrahm's M-1 tank...yet! Guys, this might be our last hold-out!

Hi, I picked up a 2002 Z3 about a week ago. The Z4's were out of my price range, and I was really impressed with the Z3's handling. Now if the weather would only cooperate, I could put the top down!! Supposed to get up to 2" of snow tonight. I hate winter!! Midtownkoi
PS I'll post a couple of pictures when I figure out how to do it.
