Consumer Description
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
