1998 BMW Z3 Roadster review from Australia and New Zealand
"A bachelors classy convertible"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with the car. It has been a joy to drive and handles like it is on rails.
I did however modify the suspension and lowered the car for better cornering and that created a negative camber on the rear wheels. This caused the inner side of my tires to wear out. A camber kit was then installed on the rear to rectify this problem at a cost of $US250.
General comments?
For a 1.9L and a weight of 1300kg, the car does move and I am happy with it.
I always wash my car on Sundays, and it really turns heads.
I give this car the thumbs up for anyone thinking of buying one.
