My wife owns a 1997 Z3 M44 1.9L. 5-speed. We've had in since new, it will turn 26 in March '22 at 194,000 miles. It shares the same last 3 digits of the VIN with my '08 Z4 Coupe (both built in Spartanburg). Worst built (assembled) BMW out of the 5 we've owned, the Z4 is the best-built ironically. But like all BMWs, the Z3's drivetrain is stout and it drives fantastic. TBH, I'm not sure BMW ever made a better suspension than the E30.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
