| 2000 | POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION | ON THE Z3 2.3 MANUAL TRANSMISSION MODEL THE COMPUTER CAUSES THE ENGINE TO KEEP REVVING AFTER THE THROTTLE IS RELEASED, SOMETIMES FOR 2 OR 3 SECONDS. THE DEALER SAID ALL Z3 2.3 MOLDELS DO THIS. I FEEL THIS IS UNSAFE AS IT REQUIRES EXTRA ATTENTION WHEN SHIFTING BECAUSE IT DOES NOT OCCUR CONSISTENTLY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE ARE AFTERMARKET COMPUTER CHIPS THAT WILL FIX THIS, I FEEL THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD FIX THIS.*AK |
| 1996 | POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION | MANUAL TRANSMISSION...VIOLENTLY POPS OUT OF FIRST GEAR TO NEUTRAL POSITION UPON ACCELERATING FROM STOP..DANGEROUS, AS CAR BEHIND EXPECTS CONTINUED FORWARD MOTION, BUT MUST INSTEAD, AWAIT ANOTHER SHIFT INTO FIRST AND POSSIBLE REPEAT OF POPPING OUT OF GEAR. HAPPENS OFTEN. SIGNIFICANT EXPENSE TO REPAIR. SHOULD DEALER PAY FOR ALL? |
