As you may or may not know, the Z3 coupe started it's life as a "humble" 2.8l(M52B28). This makes the taxes bearable, while still giving me the gorgeous looks of the Z3 coupe and the playful oversteer handling resulting form a not so sophisticated rear axle that has to cope with some 190hp.
As an added bonus, there are loads of upgrade possibilities since this is a rather early version of a car that got some nice goodies in it's future life.
- a 3.0 M54B30 engine
- a 6 speed gearbox (from a Z4)
- stability control through an uprated ESP
- a S54 M engine
- some nice big brakes from the M version
And the list goes on, so for a tinkerer as myself it's the perfect car. Now if only it would have 4 seats, so that I can take the occasional friend along for a ride it would be perfect.
