Hi

I have been in an E36 328 and a MZ3 Roadster, but never a mix of the 2. I loved the 328 smooth and consistent power delivery all the way through the rev range in each gear before beginning to feel tired at 150 mph. As for the Z3 it is a giggle a minuet. You feel right over the rear wheels and it seems to have a very long bonnet like a proper old school sports car.

I have just bought a Smart Roadster for the summer myself and would recommend the likes of a roadster to anyone. I'd say go for it!!!!!

Friend of mine had one while her boyfriend had a TT Convertible. She took the BM everytime he complained he wasn't getting his fair share of the Beemer......
