I'm not sure if you can blame semi-trailing arm suspension. The early
911 (til 993??), 914, 924, 928, 944, and 968 all had the same suspension
design without many tipovers... >>
I believe that Z3 rollover happened when the vehicle transversed from
pavement to dirt and hooked a wheel, or so I was told long ago (maybe someone
who was there can verify or elaborate). A lot of people claim the E30/Z3
rear trailing arm suspension to be very unstable, but during the past 10
months with my Z3 2.8 coupe I have not found this to be the case at all. It
has been very forgiving and readable, especially in the rain.
