For 2000,Z3 Roadsters receive new L-shaped
taillights with clear turn signal lenses, fully lined tops, re-sculpted
rear flanks, and a redesigned center console. New colors inside and out
spruce up the Z3, as do new alloy-wheel designs. The sound system is
actually audible at speed this year, thanks to the addition of two subwoofers.
Analog clocks replace digital versions in both the 2.3 and 2.8 models.
The 2.3 gets standard four-wheel disc brakes, a limited-slip differential
and 16-inch V-rated performance tires. The 2.8 has new chrome grille slats.
All Z3s have a new leather-wrapped M-Technic sport steering wheel and standard
Dynamic Stability Control, which senses when the car is veering from its
intended path and selectively modulates engine torque and the antilock brakes
to bring the car under control. Additional changes to the coupe are limited to
a new wheel design, which doesn't help it look any less like a high-topped sneaker.
