They have a plastic rear window.
The trunk is tiny.
The rear suspension dates back to the E30 3-series which was sold from 1986 to 1991.
The chassis isn't that stiff.
What motor is the one you're looking at? In '98 there was a 1.9-liter 138 hp inline-4 and 2.8-liter 189 hp inline-6.
the first two and the fourth one can be applied to nearly all convertibles.
the dated suspension has been brought up many times but for 95% of the population it's perfectly fine. a simple rear shock upgrade works wonders.
to stiffen up the chassis a front strut bar and rear butt strut bar will make a huge difference. in addition you can also get the X-brace that the M roadster and M coupe comes with standard.
