| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 1998 & 1999 m roadster and m coupe bmws have a huge rearview mirror that is positioned low, and impairs front visibility. mirror creates a huge blind spot. reported trouble to dealer and bmwna representative, but they had no recommendation and stated they were not aware of any issues. many owners disagree. z3 message board lists many owner complaints. url is "http://www.bimmer.org/z3/messages/search.html" search on "rearview mirror". i have had several close call incidents, particularly at a 4 way stop. will probably have mirror changed at my own cost to fix safety hazzard, but do not feel this is proper. i love the car, but do not like being told that a problem does not exist, particularly when i have experienced it myself. the fact that others have the same issue just provides confirmation. *ak |
