All great points and accurate, the Z3's interior is so simple and pleasing; you don't get many things to play with but a welcoming, relaxing, and ready-for-fun interior. Also I can confirm, the 4 years I've owned my Z3, it is very easy to work on for maintenance and upgrades. And if you get one with an M54 it is quite reliable as well.
Always great to see your content on the BMW Z3! Maybe you can show why you bought this one in particular and not another Z3 on the market. How did the Z3 crossed path with you?
I recently purchased a 986 boxster. Looked at the z3 but wanted something a little quicker, plus I was struggling to find one without rust issues. Still, every time i drive past a z3 i admire it fondly. Maybe one day ill get one if Porsche ownership gets too much for me.
Hi echoing those comments great to see your passion for this car. Am looking at my own z3 project, do you still have the alloys that the car came with when you bought it by any chance?
The fuel filter is located on the underbody under the drivers seat, covered by a thermal shield. Remove 4 screws/nuts and remove the shield. You should prepare 2 new ~7cm pieces of fuel hose to replace as well, if they are >20 years old. They are conncected by standard hose clamps (also replace if old!). The fuel line going to the engine bay will probably leak about 500ml of fuel, so prepare a catch tank for this. After the fuel filter change, cycle the ignition key a couple of times to get rid of the air and there you go. You can probably find some e36 / e46 content that shows you how its done.
@@carlosifer I would agree that the MX5 is probably a better car overall, but perhaps the creator of this video just wanted something a bit different, that's what keeps the car community exciting. The BMW probably is also a bit more comfortable for long trips etc and is a bit more of a GT car. The option of inline 6 engines in the Z4 is nice to have even if not all of them make much power, such a nice sound from an I6 engine compared to the common sound of the inline 4 (ITBs on an MX5 does sound great though). As for looks I would say both are good looking cars, but out of all the MX5s I would have to say the NC is actually the ugliest (in my opinion only). I would have a hard time picking which is my favourite looking out of the NA, NB, ND and Z4 however. I guess it also depends on the trim or version (NB8As don't look as good as an NB8B on an NB SE/Mazdaspeed). Of course at the end of the day looks are mostly subjective.

Driving Z3 bring me joy and smile, also got complement by people around. Si far I don't have much problems to keep it running. Can't hate it 😎
Good to hear!

Thank you, i’ll make sure to share that in another video!

Thank you! I sold the alloys that came with the car sadly
i have z3 1.9 1998 ,,,like your video ,,can you make video how to change the fuel filter, and how to fix the seats moving
I fixed the seat bushing in the video of cleaning the interior. For a more detailed explanation i would suggest to go to the channel of “momentsofzed”

MX5 is a better car
Why?
@jonasbrne suspension , handling , more nimble and lighter .
As for the looks I think the NC MX5 also looks better than the BMW .
@@carlosifer hmm makes sense, maybe i’ll give it a try!

It may be better, but it’s not as cool. 😎
Cream interior is the best bro same as mine. Those M versions would make your eyes bleed. Don’t sell it, you’ll miss it and get another one like me 😂
