2000 BMW Z3 Roadster 2.3 review from North America
"The ultimate driving machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The fuel gauge doesn't always register when the tank is filled up.
Driver's seat heat adjustment failed. New motor was put in.
Passenger's seat squeaked excessively, the seat was removed and the track was cleaned.
Radio reception was poor, antenna was replaced.
Screw holes for the License plate were stripped. New brackets were installed.
General comments?
The car is a rocket.
It will get you noticed! It really turns heads.
Handling is superb! Body lean is virtually non-existent.
The seats are very comfortable.
The sound system (base) is poor for a car of this caliber.
