Not the most well thought of Beemer around but I'd go for the 3.0 litre if you MUST have one...
I'd honestly rather have a late MX5, an S2000 or an elderly Boxster.

A 1.9 is cheap and reliable. Not as good as the MX5 / Boxster but cheap and German

I'd have a 2.8 cheaper than the 3.0 which was only made 2000/2001. The 2.8 straight 6 is the same as used in the E36 328I which is a fantastic lump, bullet proof and packs a punch even in a E36. So can imagine in a Z3 would make for a rewarding drive.
The Z3 is a much cheaper propositon over a S2000, boxter, both in terms of purchase price and very possibly long term with respect to service costs, especially if you don't mind self servicing.
