    I searched, and surprisingly didn't find anything. My wife is bugging me for one, and they look like a pretty good deal. Whats the word?

    the styling is love it or hate it, but they are great cars. my take is that they're overpriced new, but could be a great deal if you catch one off-lease.

    That one was awesome, and caused me to search the internet for one and not find one anywhere, and be pissed.

    But as far as styling goes, I would go for the Z3 coupe, but thats just me.

    There's one that's often parked at the bank off of 34th and 20th.

    They have a big dent in the side. Other than that, they seem OK.

    I'd make room for a Z4 coupe any day. They are vastly superior to the Z3 in my opinion, but I like the Z3 coupes as well, so what do I know.

    To answer your question, I haven't heard much negative about them. Most owners really like them from what I can tell. My brief driving experience was very positive and it is fun. It really is a better car than its immediate forebearer in almost all aspects. I'm waiting for the coupes to drop in price though. They were/are slow sellers, so I may have to wait awhile.

    I've always wanted to see someone paint that "dent" like the old 50's/60's corvettes.

    The Z4 convertible doesn't do anything for me, but I really like the look of the coupe.

    They finally finished the Z4 when they put a roof on it.

    Having a Z3 coupe, I would agree that the Z4 is the vastly superior car. The Z3 wins the style competition, hands down. The Z4 coupe also lacks the panoramic visibility and massive amount of useful trunk space that the Z3 coupe has.

    If anyone is really hankering for a Z3 M Coupe, I've got one that a copious amount of cash could convince me to part with.

    What about a small handful of cash (small bills)? And can you deliver it? You're kind of far away.
