[QUOTE="KT_wolves, post: 264356, member: 10759"] Hi Forte, Did I do a good visual inspection before buying the car? You got to assume this was the least I would do; won't pay over hundred thousand dollars with eyes closed ya?. Really surprised by the pretentious comments within this LINE OF threads. As to finding something non visible, I did give a good 10 minutes quailty time to feel it so to speak. There should never be any risk to kick down at 50kmh driving straight...Any Car Any Time Anywhere - especially when the tyres looked good. That was exactly what I did ..merely acquainting it , to use your phrase - I suppose you can suggest a better way of understanding your car. like to hear it!WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE???? p.s. There are no reasons to expect BMW Z3 kick off control be any thing different or worse from CRX, BMW2002 tii, Datsun SSS and Alfa Sprint. In fact, I expect Z3 to be a whole lot better control over torgue. QUOTE: SEE ABOVE...Entry-level BMW Z3s have always been looked down upon with a 'pretender' image; plenty of coffee culture cred but a long way off being a true performance car. The current model Z3, however, adds power with pose very nicely... One of the most impressive areas of the current Z3 is its DOHC, 24-valve, 2.2-litre straight-six engine. Most engines can be caught out struggling 'off cam', but the Z3's 2.2 is always ready to deliver torque. It's wonderful double VANOS system (where both the inlet and exhaust camshaft angles are altered) ensures maximum efficiency the whole way through the rev range. There are no obvious points of peak torque or peak power, and the top-end remains so strong it's all too easy to bump into the 7000-rpm rev cut. Add to this the Z3's electronic throttle control system and you've got an engine that's willing to react to even the smallest accelerator pedal movements...DON'T I KNOW IT.. Largely thanks to these features, the Z3's 2.2 is one of the sweetest engines we've ever driven [/QUOTE]
