BMW Z3 Roadster 2.8 2d (1998/R) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
A lot of car for the money.
Costs
Heavy on petrol. Averages about 19mpg in town driving, but that is to be expected in a 2.8i.
-
On the road
Driving
Excellent cornering. Brilliant traction in dry conditions. Back-end will snake in wet conditions if sudden acceleration is applied. ASC system counteracts this effectively, though.
Performance
Huge power and masses of torque will please you no end.
-
Living with it
Reliability
No problems. Soft-top repels water, even from a direct pressure washer jet.
Image
A real head turner.
Comfort
Surprisingly good for a 2-seater sports car. Supportive heated leather seats make long journeys easy. Cabin is relatively quiet at speed with the hood up.
