Two problems related to body have been reported for the 1998 BMW Z3. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I have a 1998 Z3 m roadster and the trunk welds holding the subframe is failing. This is a commonly documented issues. BMW dealers acknowledge the issue but BMW north America will not fix it. This is a welding/manufacturing defect that can lead to the differential and suspension components in the rear to completely separate.
The battery compartment fills with water when to rains and does not empty. This problem also causes rust and moisture in the trunk.
