Z3 Suspension.(soft or hard)
Hi my names Keith T and I am interested in buying a 1.9 Z3 something around the year 2000. Can you tell me what the suspension and seats are like as I don't like sports cars with low,hard suspension that damages your backside everytime you go over a bump. Thanks.
I have a 1999 z3 with 2.3 6-cyl. engine. It is not a luxery car ride but it's not bad. It has a sporty suspension but then you need it especially in the corners. My wife and I love taking rides and she doesn't complain about the suspension. My advice...Buy it, you will love it! Quickest, funnest car I have ever driven.

Hi Tmkbabycar,
Thank you for the reply. I shall be acquiring a 2.0 litre soon as they sound great. I may even look at some 2.2 litre's. One final favour. What does your 2.2 do to the gallon,is it economical?
Many thanks,
Keith T
I have not checked it in a while. Most of my driving is just running around town. No highway driving. My engine is the 2.3 liter and it usually gets aroung 22 mpg.
