The recent outbreak of good weather in Scotland caused me to go out and buy a z3m roadster to complement the coupe. When you consider they are half the price of the coupe they are still a bargain.
I have had it serviced plugs filters etc but it still has a "lumpy tickover". It is fine when cold, but when hot it gets rough. It is totally smooth when you raise revs to over 1k.
It feels just as powerful as the coupe and engine is totally smooth otherwise. Vanos kicking in and revving freely.
It has done 85k miles and is the s50
Any ideas of what I should look at?
As for how it compares to the coupe- I think it is a "softer" version. Slightly smoother and actually an easier drive.
When I bought it the gearbox/clutch was distinctly Massey ferguson. Replacing the clutch hose with a reinforced flexi transformed it.
Nice to have the option of the two, although I still have the Toyota mr2 mk1 in the background for when I want something that will out handle either of them.
