Looking at Autotrader, it appears that both of the Z3 cars I test drove are still for sale. Here is the first, an 'ordinary' Z3:

Here is the second, a 3.0 Z3 with the M suspention and transmission package.

From what I recall, the only visible difference between the two cars was the M had an "M" on the stick shift and a chrome-colored interior. The ride was
way different. The first car was "sqooshy" and the shifting was awkward. The second car drove very similar to the S2000.
Having no experiece at all with BMW products other than test-driving these two cars, I'd like to hear what you think. Did I pass up a good deal?
I also saw on the television coverage of the Detroit International Auto Show that '06 is the first year that the M package will be offered on the Z4.
Best Wishes,
