Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 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
