Picked this up today, replacing the Solstice:

CFoote · 06-22-2011, 01:50 PM

Sick! That is such a fun car to drive!

GomboRombo · 06-22-2011, 01:50 PM

That rocks!

Finnegan · 06-22-2011, 01:59 PM

Woo hoo!

Great find! Congratulations!

KLH · 06-22-2011, 02:01 PM

No more driving al fresco.

ZStig · 06-22-2011, 02:14 PM

That one doesn't look like an M to me, am I wrong?

BTM · 06-22-2011, 02:30 PM

You're right, the Z3Ms didn't have foglights.

gcochard · 06-22-2011, 02:40 PM

Swap in your S54

03BeastCharmer · 06-22-2011, 02:48 PM

Congrats, but why the switch?

a_riddler · 06-22-2011, 02:52 PM

Mtxzptlk · 06-22-2011, 03:41 PM

Nice, I approve, not that you needed it to begin with.

Ditto. I'm not a fan of black wheels or time attack stripes, though this car pulls them off better than most. The plan is to add CSL reps for a visual tie-in to its kid brother.

For more info - it's a 2000 Z3 Coupe 2.8, about 90k miles on it and running KW3 suspension. I thought a second M would be overkill, but I've been toying with the idea of getting a Z3 coupe for a while. This one popped up on eBay recently and was local, so I dropped by to see it. Someone else was high bidder, but as everyone knows lots (maybe most) of eBay's sales fall thru; the seller put it back up Monday and I contacted him.

ZStig · 06-22-2011, 04:04 PM

yeah but now you don't have ANY roadsters : /

Nikki · 06-22-2011, 04:10 PM

Nice! and you don't need a roadster in Chicago.

One day I'll learn. Me and roadsters are like that ex you get back together with only to discover why you broke up in the first place. When I don't have one, I think how nice it would be to get one. I get one, and realize I almost never put the top down.

I like the Solstice, but it's barely moved this year.

ZStig · 06-22-2011, 04:37 PM

I see. I put the top down whenever I can, even if its freezing outside (but sunny)

sounds like the issue may be on your end then, buddy. show her some more love and see where it goes.

Looks awesome mate. Congrats. Can anyone tell me why we don't have a z3/m section on this forum? We have just about every bmw listed except these :-(

r4gs · 06-22-2011, 05:31 PM

The rear subframe bushings and the rear trailing arm bushings should probably be replaced, and you should inspect the underside of the rear trunk area for the dreaded unibody separation that affects some of those cars.

I have a set of tools for the bushing replacement that I bought years ago that I'll sell you for a very good price; I don't know if the guy who was making them is still around or not. Send me a PM if you are interested in the tools.
