1999 BMW Z3 ROADSTER
This model year
What the record shows
The 1999 Bmw Z3 Roadster is a two-seater, and the 4th model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 1996 to 2002.
The EPA rated four configurations: engines from 2.5-litre six-cylinder to 2.8-litre six-cylinder, rear-wheel drive only, two transmissions and running on regular gasoline.
Combined fuel economy ranges from 19 to 20 mpg depending on which one you have.
No complaints, recalls, investigations or service bulletins are on the federal record for this model year.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
