What does the $28,750 include or is it a base come on.  When the Miata
came out it had a base of $13,800.  However if you wanted a radio,
cassette, and speakers (Package A), A/C, and a LSD, it was about 
$15,800 with destination charges.  My guess is that the Z3 sticker
price for a minimal configuration that people will accept will be over
$30,000.  Also remember, the base Z3 is not faster and will probably 
be slower than he 96 Miata. From what I understand the Z3 will have 
5% more horsepower than the 96 Miata but will weigh 13% more. I'm 
looking forward to seeing the car "in the metal" since IMHO the front 
styling of the car doesn't look that appealing in the photographs.
