There were multiple cosmetic changes to the 1999 Z3 but not alterations to the "love it or hate it" body style that would have to wait until the 2000 model year for an overhaul.
Among the changes that were made in 1999 included the addition of standard, side impact air bags as well optional cruise control, a removable hardtop with a heated rear window, halogen free-form fog lights, and an in-dash CD player.
Beyond the cosmetic changes, 1999 was the year BMW upgraded the 1.9 liter engine previously included in the basic models to the 2.5 liter that produced 170 horsepower -- a 32 point jump from the previous year.
What owners say
"Owners of the 1999 BMW Z3 appreciate its classic design, fun driving experience, and excellent handling. Many find it an enjoyable roadster with great acceleration and style. However, some drivers wish for more power and improved interior space, as well as a few minor issues such as leaks and build quality concerns."
This was my favorite car due to the fun driving it and how fast it was. This was power packed with a 2.3 liter engine and a 5-speed manual gearbox. Convertible top worked great and was very easy to put up and down. Not much room inside, but it was a Roadster! Too bad this car just got too old for me. I traded this one in just over 80,000 miles.
March 25, 2008Great car, recommend to anyone looking for lots of style, some comfort, great handling prowess and excellent reliability being a BMW
December 20, 2007Everything works the best of what it was made of. I love everything about my BMW Z3. No other car brand can dare come close, to the ultimate driving machine . BMW, the best I know, everyday I turn her on. And go on the open road. with the top down. Halla!

May 3, 2013This car is so much fun to drive, and to look out from (at a low road level). I feel connected to the best classic car designs and implementation of all time of the joy of cars. It's an emotional high for me everytime I see it or drive it.
November 30, 2012Great handling...turns on rails, could use more power, better built quality & materials, and minor electrical issues are to be awared of.
June 19, 2008Beautiful looking car, and even funner to drive
April 18, 2008Like everything about the Z3. Nice ride....can drive 8 hours and stlll feel great Fast enough.....better than avg handling. Goodyear Responsedge tires are the best for comfort and snow traction.
May 17, 2008This a a great car. Really great toy to play with. fast acceleration good breaks...little sloppy on hig speed cornering but otherwise great fun. The leaks when raining is a bit annoying but the fun is always overshadowing it...
December 28, 2010Always prefer coupe version like me, it is a classic. great engine. It looks gorgeous and it will never get old. that makes it special. maybe a six gear box makes it much better car, but there is not any.
July 1, 2009Very good quality but shame it was a petrol engine and too small
