Verdict

The BMW Z3 Roadster 2.8i and the Caravan as an example of a laden weight of 1200 kg is an excellent combination for all journeys on all kinds of roads.

Weight

The chance of snaking is relatively small at normal speed, if the caravan is well loaded.

Flat roads

The performances of the engine of this outfit are in general very good. Under all conditions on motorways it is possible to drive with 60 mph in the 5th gear. In that case the engine runs approximately 2600 rpm. In a headwind or for example on a crossover there is no need to downshift immediately.

Mountains

On most motorways inclines (1:20) driving is easily possible in the 4th gear with 50 mph and even full throttle with 66 mph. In the 3th gear the top speed is 76 mph (5581 rpm). Hill starts are possible on steep slopes up to 19%. While driving the engine has enough power on slopes of 27% to drive.

Attention: This car can easily drive much faster with the caravan than is safe. So always keep an eye on your speed!
