Nice! I didn't realize these came with LSDs.

Very nice.The 2.8 m52 engine is such a smooth one. I didn't know you could get LSD's in z3's. Wow, I wish my parents had had better taste in cars... Oh well.

The LSD was standard in all models, as I recall. With that happy tail end, it really needed it.

My dad had that one with the 4 cylinder when it first came out, it was an awesome car, it must be even better with the 6 cylinder.

I always loved the Z3 .... great car, enjoy !!

My mom also had a 4 cylinder Z3 - I think a 97. I got to drive it a fair bit. One drive was on Christmas morning — I drove it from Flagstaff to Phoenix. Top down the entire way, even with the temp in Flagstaff at 29 when I left. It was below freezing at least half way down, and I had the windows up and heat blasting. But what a great drive!
