2001 BMW Z3 Roadster 3.0i review from Guatemala
"Classic lines with quick solid power"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Original battery went dead within a few months of buying the car.
6CD stack was incompatible with original CD/Radio so they had to replace with a Cassette/Radio in order to read the 6 pack in the trunk.
Soft top has some sort of cords with springs to remain taught, and these keep breaking, just a nuisance.
General comments?
This roadster is a blast to drive on mountain curvy roads here in Central America.
I think it handles beautifully and with the 3.0i I have plenty of power.
Face it, this is a Sunday go to church type car. No space for luggage or kids, period!
