1998 BMW Z3 Roadster review from UK and Ireland
"An overpriced convertible pretending to be a sports car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rear screen became too scratched to see out of.
The factory fit alarm failed.
General comments?
I bought the car new after a 12 month wait. I was initially happy with the power, but found it too uncomfortable over 70mph. The chassis was very poor.
Rear tyres had worn by 4000 miles.
The microwave alarm kept going off with the hood up or down so I disabled it (the dealer couldn't fix it).
The biggest problem with the car was depreciation. Shortly after it arrived, BMW changed the rear arches and boot-lid which hurt financially when I came to sell it.
