![]() Now, I too love the S2000. But that drivetrain, when not driven in haste, when not shifted lower than 5500, sorry, it's tame due to the pitiful torque. 5-9k rpms, whole other story. Meanwhile, the S52 is silky, so torquey and such a great exhaust note and induction sound. So when I turned 30, I was going to build myself a kit Cobra. Instead I quit my job and went back to school. So without the money I sold my Viggen and had $15k to play with. Hmmm, what would remind me of the Cobra...yep, there is the M Roadster.

![]() I like both cars, each have something to offer to the owner. I was glued to the 007 movie when that car first came out. But I fell in love with the Z4 the first time I saw it at the Dealership. This is my 2nd one and I made it mine by doing those things we all like to do. "MODS" ![]() Regards

I'm definitely in the "like" camp for the Z3Mcoupe but still think the Z4Mcoupe is one of the 10 most beautiful cars BMW has ever made. I can not say that about the Z3.
I really miss this car! ![]()

I have owned a Z3M and currently own a Z4M
Both are AMAZING cars with more similarities than differences, but there are differences. Believe it or not, both feel just as raw. The Z4M is a little softer and more comfortable though. The Z3M gives you more of a small car (Miata) feel. Both feel amazingly connected to the road. For a big guy like me, the Z4M is better because of the extra room. My head used to stick up over the Z3M windshield and I would have to pick bugs out of my hair. Speed wise, the Z4M is faster. But not so fast that the Z3M is slow in comparison. You can't go wrong with either car and both are destined to be absolute BMW classics!!! |

Are you paid to be as cryptic as humanly possible? If I look at the side gills, I see a standard M gill and the normal body gap for a Z3, identical to my old car:
![]() My wheels were powdercoated a different color and I had the port installed fog lights (which were useless) but otherwise, mine was cosmetically stock. If you're referring to the micro amount of overspray looking material at the back edge of the gill, I've seen worse from the factory and the OP and owner mentioned the car is wrapped. Again, I'll ask what body work you see that's not 100% stock? |

It's kinda dirty?
If you're referring to it being slightly unaligned with the door, that's par for the course on Z3's from the factory. |

I'm a coupe guy, love the Z3/4 but only in coupe/hatch form. The ragtop never did it for me, the back always looked incomplete.

Do you know any other Z3M Roadster owners in HK? I have been looking for one for ages. Let me know if anyone is wanting to sell. Thanks.
