Let me put an end to all of this right now. I own an IS and a 2001 Z3 3.0 (automatic). I also had a 2000 Z3. Without a doubt, the Z3 romps on the IS. No comparison. The IS is sporty and moves, but driving the 3.0, you actually feel like you have power. You feel the car rumble when you get on it.

No comparison whatsoever.

IS should only be able to beat the 1.9L I-4 version. Acceleration wise the Z3 wins. BMW quotes these for the 2.5: (the 2000 2.3 won't be much slower)
2899 (2987)

The 2.3 is just the model number...it still has the 2.5 liter engine. I had one of these also. This car felt a lot quicker than the IS also.

The 3.0....forget about it.

Won't find that many Z3 manuals.

On the contrary, there are MANY Z3 manuals. The M powered Z3 is ONLY offered in Manual.

Obviously. But the person driving the Z would have to be a retard.
