Home News Mazda Miata Disguised As A BMW Z3 Is A Horror Show Jan. 29, 2022 7:11 AM ET For Sale Some people just want to watch the Miata burn. For whatever reason, this NA Mazda MX-5 Miata has had its entire identity changed to that of a BMW Z3. If this is something that you might find tasteful, you'll be glad to know that it is currently up for sale at a competitive $3,900. This excludes the amount you'll pay to travel to Baltimore for the you wish to get in touch with the owner to berate him for this modification, he already has a response lined up for you. The seller clarifies in the description that the conversion took place 20 years ago and adds that he doesn't care about your opinion. Jason McPherson/Facebook Jason McPherson/Facebook For added context, he explains that the original owner of the car opted to apply the kit which was sold as a complete package back in the 90s. In an attempt to turn this into the ultimate driving machine, the car has had a Jackson Racing Supercharger fitted to the four-cylinder engine. This has been accentuated by a Borla exhaust system, Momo steering wheel, and Bilstein seller notes that the car is running thanks to some routine maintenance jobs. This includes the fitment of new spark plugs, a fuel pump, cam angle sensor, air filter, radiator and coolant, front brakes sourced from a second-generation model, and pads and rotors for the rear axle. Jason McPherson/Facebook Jason McPherson/Facebook Despite all this work, it's still not in concourse condition. Once you take delivery, the Z3 Miata will need its interior to be redone together with a rewiring of the headlights. Thankfully, the taillights and interior electronics are all in working order. If you had your eyes on those BBS wheels, we're sorry to let you know that they are not included in the purchase. For these, you'll have to fork out an additional $800. If you don't tick this option box, the seller will let you choose some rollers from his collection, of which there are two isn't the first time that the little Miata has been used as the base to create something entirely different. Over in Japan, Mitsuoka revealed a limited run of builds that pay tribute to the C2 Chevrolet Corvette. This has had pretty much every panel replaced with muscular surfaces and chrome trimmings. Over in Spain, Hurtman is getting to work on its Grand Albaycin which has been reshaped to mimic classical British roadsters.

First, the Miata is some 200 pounds lighter than the 124. The steering is lighter in action, too. While I think the Fiat has a better ride quality at higher speeds, the Miata feels more eager Recently, I got into doing comparison articles with the reasons why I bought my Miata over my other car choices. That opened the doors to continue digging a little deeper. Letâs look closely at the Mazda MX-5 Miata vs Porsche Boxster. Letâs start by laying out the ground rules for this comparisonâĶ We all know the Boxster costs about twice as much as a new, fully-loaded Mazda MX-5 Miata. For that reason, this may sound like a less than ideal comparison. But is it really? Keep in mind, this comparison is based on the NC Miata (2006-2013+). Various legitimate comparisons can be made between it and the 986 and 987 Porsche Boxster. Comparing it to a 981 Boxster (2013+) is not quite as ideal right now, although Iâm sure there are people doing so already. Of course, the new vs new comparison below would be based on a 981 Porsche Boxster. There are 3 situations in which a buyer would be comparing Miata vs Boxster: 1. New vs New: A buyer with good money in his pockets could be considering a new Boxster vs a new Miata. The difference in the end will be a decision based on which car he prefers, whether he pays the Boxsterâs new premium price, or saves a chunk of change and enjoys the Miata instead. It might not necessarily be a cost-based decision. Having said that, a new 981 Porsche Boxster would yield the biggest price difference up from a Mazda MX-5. 2. New vs Used: This comparison would likely be the most commonâĶ 2 equally-priced cars. A brand new MX-5 at $30k vs a used Porsche Boxster at $30k. Of course, the appeal is obviousâĶ Your budget says you can only spend 30gâs so those are the options. 3. Used us Used: This third option will likely be the least common. This is typically for the guys that refuse to pay new car premiums regardless of the vehicle. They can afford a used Boxster, but even if they go for a MX-5, would still buy it used. All are plausible situations and Iâve spoken with many car guys that have in fact considered at least one of these Miata vs Boxster scenarios. Anyway, Iâve driven both cars and Iâve read countless comparisons and forum posts that compare both cars. These are some of the things Iâve found: Pros for the Mazda MX-5 Miata 1. The MX-5 offers more bang for the buck. Of course, this oneâs a no-brainer. You can buy a brand new one, with full warranty for the price of a used Boxster with no warranty, or barely any left. 2. The MX-5 is going to be cheaper to maintain. New or used, the Miata is almost always going to be less expensive to maintain and run. Repairs are cheaper and so is regular maintenance, such as oil changes, brake service, etc. However, there are ways around this with the Porsche if you really want it. But weâll leave that for a little later. 3. The MX-5 can likely offer a more carefree enjoyment. Given the smaller cost of the MX-5, enjoyment could likely be bigger than with the Boxster, specially if you are concerned with costs. You can take them out in bad weather, park them with less concern and overall worry less about it than you would with the Porsche. 4. The MX-5 can be more fun to drive. Iâve heard this one from folks that have owned both. The MX-5 might not be as refined, but itâs engaging at lower speeds. If you factor out the âcoolnessâ factor of owning a Porsche and just concentrate on the drive alone, many claim the Miata is more fun to drive. You can chuck it into corners easier due to the reduced weight and you can hoon in it and have fun without breaking every speed law on the road. Rowing through gears and revving the engine is just plain fun. In the Boxster, youâll be doing less of that because by the time youâre redlining second gear, youâre breaking the speed limit badly. This is coming from the horseâs mouth of Boxster/Miata owners. Iâm just paraphrasing. Basically, the MX-5 Miata will feel more âsportyâ at lower speeds. The Miata will also offer more drama at lower speeds. 5. Donât have to deal with IMS (Intermediate Shaft Bearing) issues. It is well-known the IMS in the Boxster engines up to 2008 can fail causing catastrophic failure. This is more probable in older cars, mostly the 986 Boxster. Yes, there are things you can do to help prevent it, even if you decide not to install a fix before it happens (the âfixâ can be very expensive), but itâs always nice not to have to worry about it at all, right? When peace of mind is concerned, the Miata has the Porsche beat. Pros for the Porsche Boxster 1. The Boxster is simply a better car in every way. You are paying twice for the car, and if itâs pre-owned youâre paying the same money as a new MX-5 Miata for a car with at least 35,000 miles on it alreadyâĶ So youâd expect the car to be better overall. Well, it is. You get better materials inside and out, better fit and finish, better factory suspension, more power, more refinement, a Porsche badge, etc, etc. 2. Porsche ownership for Miata money. Listen, criticize Porsche owners all your want, but for the most part, itâs cooler to own a Porsche than it is to own a Miata. I bet the OGâs at Mazda HQ secretly own Porsches. So of course, being able to buy a Boxster for Miata money is quite appealing. 3. Better interior. This fits with the 1st point of it being a better car in every way. However, it merits a point of itâs own. The interior in the Porsche, specially that of the 987 Boxster is waaaay nicer than that of the MX-5 Miata. The seats are better, the dash is nicer, the door cards too, you get the picture. 4. Better at higher speeds. The Miata will feel livelier at lower speeds but the Boxster will feel better and more confidence-inspiring at higher speeds. However, by then you should probably be on a track and not on public roads. 5. Youâll be happier with a Boxster in stock form. If you are the modding type, the Miata would likely be a better option. But if youâd rather just enjoy the car as it is from factory, the Boxster will be much better out of the âboxâ ð Most likely, youâll be happier with it as is, so long as you buy the right one. Meaning, buy the Boxster S if you want more power, versus trying to upgrade a base Boxster. On the MX-5 youâll likely spend more time and money upgrading a few things before you are completely happy. In regards to that last bit, hereâs our article of essential NC Miata modifications. âĶif you can easily afford either, maintenance and running costs included, then you can truthfully make a decision based solely on preference. As you can see, the deal breaker is cost. Itâs safe to say that if you can easily afford either, maintenance and running costs included, then you can truthfully make a decision based solely on preference. But for many, it will be a cost-based decision. If you are hoping to work on the car yourself, whether to save on costs or because you like to do the work yourself, the Miata will be easier to work on. This specially for home-garage-shop car folks. The MX-5 is smaller and lighter and you can work on it from the top for many projects. On the Boxsters however, just about everything that has to do with the drivetrain needs to be done from under the car. Reducing ownership costs of the Porsche Boxster As mentioned briefly earlier, one good way to reduce the ownership costs of the Porsche Boxster is to do a lot of the maintenance work yourself. Things like oil changes, brake jobs and the like can be done at homeâĶ Harder to do than in the MX-5, but itâs still doable. Another way to reduce costs on the Boxster if you are dead-set on wanting one over a Miata is to have work done at independent shops rather than at dealerships. Given that for many it will be a financial decision, this might be the only way you could afford one of them over a Miata. For that, you should join Porsche Club of America and the popular Porsche forums and dig up the contacts for trusted local Porsche specialists in your area. If you take the time to find good independent techs, you can save a lot of money over a dealer workshop. Not to mention, the work can be just as good, if not better. Again, if you find the right guy. Final notes Porsche does know what they are doing when it comes to the market position of their cars. While the price of a used Boxster can allow someone with a Miata budget to enjoy Porsche ownership, the risks are higher for those people. The fact is, that no matter what, Mazda markets the MX-5 Miata as a inexpensive convertible sports car for a reason, and places it correctly in that market segment. Porsche on the other hand might be aiming the Boxster at people who canât afford a 911 (even if they deny it), but still have fairly fat checking accounts. You need to understand this before you get in way over your head. It also depends on where you spend your money. If your only hobby is cars, you can likely afford a Boxster even on moderate income. But if you have 10 different money-sucking hobbies that you refuse to let go off in favor of cars, the MX-5 can very well satisfy your sports car thrills. This said, it would be unfair to segment Porsche or MX-5 Miata buyers solely on how much coin they can swing. As many status-symbol Porsche driving people as there are, you have proper enthusiasts that buy a car for the actual driving experience. For that reason, there are many enthusiasts that can easily afford a Porsche 911 for example, but consider Boxsters, or even buy Miatas, just âcause. Costs aside, the Mazda MX-5 Miata and Porsche Boxster do fit in the same comparison table. In Consumer Reports surveys, both cars are actually head to head, year after year, in the sports car convertible segment. Even when a new Boxster is twice the money of a new Miata. Both cars are fun and extremely competent and each has pros and cons in relation to each other. Take your time, test both cars and crunch the numbers. Unless you are getting in over your head in costs, it would be hard to make a mistake when choosing between either of these cars.

Opens website in a new tab Cars for Sale News Original Z4 plummets to old MX-5 pricing 20 Jul 2017 Buying new, the Mazda MX-5 is the worldâs best-value when purchasing a used rear-drive drop-top, a relatively unloved and unlikely contender has arguably taken the title â from the era of Chris Bangle and made in the USA, enter the original BMW the undercooked (albeit James Bond Goldeneye-cool) BMW Z3 roadster that was meant to challenge the original Porsche Boxster in the late 1990s, the Z4 made a far better fist of things. There are two models worthy of note, and both are now stellar the classifieds first, however, and note that the NA-generation MX-5 is still commanding big money for a decades-old car. Original 1989 examples are fetching over $5000 while the last-of-the-line (and sought-after) 1996 can see $10, the NB-gen that followed, particularly in 2004 SE Turbo guise, stretches from $12,000 to $20,000 depending on the kilometre reading. These Japanese roadsters are as great to drive as they are easy to work on and endlessly reliable, but thereâs a big âbutâ under $15,000 a decade-old BMW Z4 roadster can be purchased with around 100,000km showing (or similar kays to the equivalent Mazda). The Z4 cost $92,000 plus on-road costs brand new, and it came equipped with a straight six-cylinder producing 170kW at 5900rpm and 300Nm at 3500rpm, with a six-speed manual good for a standstill to 100km/h sprint time of around this to the 126kW/206Nm in an MX-5 SE Z4 with a Dodge Viper V10 engineUnderpinned by an E46 3 Series chassis, it was no duffer in the handling department, either. That said, it lacked an LSD and this was round one of BMWâs foray into electric power steering, which wasnât a high point of the car. No, the Z4 wasnât quite Boxster-good â but it simply isnât possible to buy the Porsche for this money on the used-car is a second contender for best-value roadster honours as well â the BMW Z4 M. For around $30,000 it makes an E46 M3 of the era seem pricey, and it could surely tempt some away from that petite new ND-gen MX-5 base E46 M3-derived S54 straight six (with 252kW at a soaring 7900rpm and 365Nm at 4900rpm) placed the LSD-equipped chassis to great use. The manual-equipped sprint to triple-figure speed was covered in around â which is still brisk by todayâs standards. Hard-top versions of the Z4 M will of course ask more than the roadster, in the same way that (at least for now) a Cayman will ask more from your wallet than a Boxster just look at the long bonnet and epic dash-to-axle ratio of the first BMW Z4, with driverâs bum on the axle and short rear overhang, then tell us youâd rather a Mazda MX-5.

Now, look. Iâm not saying that no one should live their dreams and modify their car to look like a different car. I, too, harbor dreams of owning exotics that I know Iâll never be able to afford. I just think you might want to dream bigger if youâre going to be putting this much effort into your car. In this case, the car is a 1990 Mazda MX-5 (which is a good start) thatâs been modified to look like a BMW Z3. I have no issue with the Z3, it seems like a perfectly lovable little sports car, but itâs not exactly an Enzo or even a Corvette that these kinds of mishmash body kits are often trying to emulate. According to the seller, a Facebook user from the Baltimore area, this fiberglass body kit was produced in the â90s and was installed by a previous owner. Despite that, the car is not without its selling points. Read Also: How Could This Chevroge Viporvette Not Sell On BaT? The recipient of a Jackson Racing Supercharger, Borla exhaust, Bilstein suspension, and Momo steering wheel, this was no doubt a fun little car in its day. Unfortunately, that day was a few years ago and now the car has become âa project.â Although it runs, the interior apparently needs some attention, as does the wiring to make the headlights work properly, and the car has 129,000 miles (~208,000 km) under its belt. Per the seller, though, itâs been through quite a bit of maintenance in the last year, including spark plugs, a new fuel pump, filters, front brakes, and more. Unfortunately, those BBS wheels are not being sold with the car. Beyond not really understanding how the promise of a BMW Z3 would have made this kit seem like it was worth the time and effort, as is usually the case with such mods, it does have some issues. The hood looks alright, but it clearly becomes a Miata once you reach the doors in a way that I find jarring. Maybe itâs as a result of its age, but the seams on this car are just painfully obvious to me. On the other hand, if you want a supercharged, rear-wheel drive, manual sports car for $3,900 (and a bit of work), this may not seem like a dealbreaker to you. In any case, you can check it out on Facebook marketplace. PHOTO GALLERY more photos...N/A. Brake ABS System (Second Line) Pwr-Assisted. Brake Type. Power. Brake Type. Power. Brake Type.

A fairly used BMW Z3 isnât in short supply, with the average price hovering around $10,000. Even so, anything older than the 2000 model has that scary word ârareâ swirling around it, which probably explains why a 1996 model currently on offer (as of the time of writing this article) at Auto Showcase of Bel Air has a $24,500 price tag attached to it.
When comparing two cars, such as the BMW Z4 and the Mazda MXâ5 Miata, it is important to look at price, fuel economy, and standard features. Starting with price, the BMW Z4 is more expensive with a starting MSRP of $54,595 and the similarly equipped Mazda MXâ5 Miata starts at $29,215. .
