The Z3 is (and will continue to be) built in South Carolina, so like the current generation, the next edition will probably go on sale in both markets simultaneously.But I'm not so sure that will be before next summer. Probably September or October 2002. ------------------

P!R@N@, I heard some good evaluations about the S2000, but I have a problem in getting into a Honda for $30k+, and in addition having to rev that little 4-cylinder to hell. I do not pretend to be a racer, and especially not in my commute to work through the streets of Miami. Do not get me wrong, sometimes I like to press it, but not all the time, which the little Honda would probably require... I intend to test drive that thing though when I start shopping for the replacement for my current Bimmer, which will likely be early next year.IP: Logged |

I might get another small project car. My dad might be getting a '93 civic hb(for a very low price). I drove my freinds(the one doing low 13's, all motor), and the other day I drove another one(civic hb si, w/ headers, intake, and exhaust) and it felt pretty fast. I might have to fix this up until I get my other car, and then put that onthe backburner when I get my new one. I'm still not sure yet, just thought I'd share.------------------ My Car Dealership: http://www.geocities.com/blackta00 '93 Camaro Z28 A4: Custom CAI, TB Bypass FS: $8,000 '92 VW Corrado VR6: EIP Intake Manifold, Neuspeed P-chip, Neuspeed Intake, Eibach Springs, 17" Konig Monsoons, Custom Exhaust, Stage III Clutch FS: $10,000 "Bowtie 'til the day I die" IP: Logged |

Comptech makes a s/c for under 4k that gets rid of the need for as much revving and gets a remarkable 340 hp in the top end. With this 4 k it will most likely still be less htan a bimmer but it is what you like, this is just a suggestion.------------------ Porsche lover down to the golf clubs. IP: Logged |

Well, my dad went back to the place it was for sale and it was sold. No civic for me, I'm sure some of you guys are glad to hear that, but it would have been fun to fix that little thing up(I still don't like the body that much, but I'm liking them more).------------------ My Car Dealership: http://www.geocities.com/blackta00 '93 Camaro Z28 A4: Custom CAI, TB Bypass FS: $8,000 '92 VW Corrado VR6: EIP Intake Manifold, Neuspeed P-chip, Neuspeed Intake, Eibach Springs, 17" Konig Monsoons, Custom Exhaust, Stage III Clutch FS: $10,000 "Bowtie 'til the day I die" IP: Logged |

I hope that I will get it soon. I think that I will get it soon enough. I am looking at a '99 formula right now, it's auto, but it will only be for a few months. The car that I get now, will only be until christmas, then we'll see from there. I am also looking at a '97 GSX. I am only going to get these cars, b/c they are selling for a low price, and they can go on the lot after I drive them until christmas. Oh well, I just can't wait until I get my for good car(supra/trans-am).------------------ My Car Dealership: http://www.geocities.com/blackta00 '93 Camaro Z28 A4: Custom CAI, TB Bypass FS: $8,000 '92 VW Corrado VR6: EIP Intake Manifold, Neuspeed P-chip, Neuspeed Intake, Eibach Springs, 17" Konig Monsoons, Custom Exhaust, Stage III Clutch FS: $10,000 "Bowtie 'til the day I die" IP: Logged |

Doesn't anyone realize that those pics are just photoshopped, they aren't real pics of the new Z3. Maybe they are someone's idea of what it will look like based on clues but those certainly aren't pics released by BMW.

Those on the FC site aren't photoshopped. You can always tell when something is photoshopped. One thing or another doesn't blend right. I think it's starting to look bland. I like the old one better.------------------ Run. I Dare You. IP: Logged |

No one knows where he went - he just disappeared.
