1998 BMW M Roadster ZM review from UK and Ireland
"A high performance exclusive beast of a car happy on a circuit, motorway or supermarket run"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had a new clutch and gearbox fitted, but this was due to a faulty installation and covered on warranty.
General comments?
Extremely quick car in corners and a straight line. Eats any Porches under the 911 Turbo for breakfast!
Long bonnet and flared wheel arches make for a great look and feel from within the car. 4 Exhaust pipes, big alloys and flared wheel arches make for a great look from anywhere.
High number of gadgets to look after you such as heated and electric seats, electric roof / windows etc.
Cabin a bit cramped and steering wheel a little large for the taller ones, but I am 6'4" and am still comfortable.
Also has a small boot - but big enough for 2 to go away for the weekend.
