On the road
Driving
Amazing. I traded in a Porsche 911 for the car, and the Porsche won't even touch this car!
Performance
The only thing with acceleration like this is a superbike. Which would you rather be on/in?
-
Living with it
Reliability
Not a single breakdown or fault. Moving from a 911 you really appreciate that in a car.
Image
M-Roadster is a different car altogether compared to a normal Z3,. The arches are huge on it, and it looks wild!
Comfort
The heated seats are gorgeous - just what you need with the hood down.

Security and Service
Security
They hold their ground. However, since owning the car, I have gone back to it three times after seeing people trying to break in - so the system is obviously not a big deterrent.
Service
BMW has always had the saying "poor man's Merc"; well Mercs have lost touch - they are not at all like a BM... the BMW is a driving car.
