Hiya...

I'm thinking about trading in my e34 for a Z3 and I was hoping you guys could give me some insight. It will become my primary vehicle.

Several things are crossing my mind.
1) it's such a tiny car. Is it really absolutely horrible in the snow and rain?
2) I think my budget is only allowing for a 4 cylinder, but it appears that it has the same horsepower as my 525i. Any thoughts on that? Will I be horribly disappointed? Keep in mind I am currently driving an automatic, and will be switching to manual with the Z3.

3) are there any other major pros and cons? I feel only people who have an e34 AND a z3 can give me these answers.

thanks in advance
