1998 BMW Z3 Roadster review from UK and Ireland
"Very very over -rated, bad handling"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Major leaks in the boot, from somewhere.
Leaked in through the drivers door rubber seal.
Car wandered over the road even with the steering wheel kept still.
Clonk noise from the back axle.
Problems selecting reverse.
General comments?
I was so upset about this car.
I hoped it would be all that I expected.
It was just awful. The seating position was poor and the offset pedals were very awkward. The gear box was OK, but my wife found reverse too difficult to select at all.
The handling was very wobbly and shaky. It stuck to the road well, but bounced around unbelievably.
I really feel that this is the worse car I have ever had. I am about to sell it and lose a lot of money, but I can't live with the leaks and bad handling any more.
