Reviews
Veloce's extended range of Essential Buyer's Guides now includes the affordable BMW Z3 roadster. With the Z3s now selling for below GBP1000, this book can ensure that you really do get to enjoy the bargain roadster experience with reduced risk of nasty surprises.- Richard Kilpatrick- Classic Car Weekly. The first few pages look at the Z3 in general: whether it is the right car for your needs, how expensive the parts and servicing are, what you need to know about the different models, etc. Once you decide a Z3 might fit your bill, the book offers a fairly comprehensive 15-minute evaluation (Walk Away or Stay), followed by the meat of the guide, which is a 10-page section entitled 'Serious Evaluation' that includes a road test. It is a very practical list of items to consider, with a marking system for each to help keep your assessment an objective one. It could be useful for sellers, too, to give them an idea of what potential buyers will be checking out. - New Zealand Classic Car.
