1998 BMW Z3 Roadster review from UK and Ireland
"Fools Gold on wheels"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Steering problems.
Windscreen leaked.
Warped and scorched brake disc after a stone flew up and lodged in the disc.
Didn't always start first time.
General comments?
A big disappointment and I should have brought another Audi. The BMW Z3 may as well have a Skoda badge on it as it's only the BMW name that sells it. My old Audi was far superior on performance and comfort (especially if you are over 6ft) and was more of a sportster than the Z3 could ever hope to be. As a colleague of mine once said, "It's a girls car".
