Z3 Coupe Race Car

Z3 Coupe Race Car | Bas Koeten

 

This Coupe was posted in flickr.com by Pedro Valiente. The Coupe is listed as a Z3 M Coupe by the photographer, but based upon the Z3 side grilles and side mirrors, I believe it is a Z3 Coupe. The chrome trim ringed headlights, and chrome trimmed kidney grilles indicate that this is a 2000+ model. It is likley, however, that numerous components of the Coupe have been replaced, so they may not be a good indication.

1999 M Coupe | Evergreen | Evergreen/Black

1999 BMW Z3 M Coupe | Evergreen | Evergreen/Black | Italy

 

This M Coupe was posted for sale on autoscout24.eu in Giulianova, Italy with 75,000 km (46,602 miles) for €25,000 (~$34,760 USD). This Evergreen/Evergreen, sunroof delete Coupe must be extremely rare. There is only 1 EG/EG sunroof delete M Coupe in the US, obviously with an S52, rather than an S50 like this Coupe. There are said to have been 2,178 LHD S50 M Coupes produced, whereas there were 2,180 S52 M Coupes produced. Very similar numbers. There were 41 Evergreen M Coupes produced for the US, and I suspect that those numbers are similar, if not less elsewhere. The Coupe appears to be all stock with the exception of newer 2000+ headlights with chrome trim rings, and the suspension seems a bit lower, so it may be aftermarket. The kidney grille slats also seem to be chrome trimmed, which makes me think that it is a 2000, but the ad indicates that it was first registered 4/1999.

1998 BMW Z3 M Coupe | Estoril Blue | Estoril/Black

 

This M Coupe was posted for sale in Adliswil, Switzerland on gute-autos.ch with 105,000 km. The Coupe appears to be all stock. I can’t identify from the photos if the Coupe has a sunroof or not. I want to say it does not have a sunroof, but am uncertain. What do you guys think?

1998 M Coupe | Dakar Yellow | Gray/Black

1998 BMW M Coupe | Dakar Yellow | Gray/Black


This M Coupe was posted in z3mcoupe.com by Hans Winkler of Germany. I’ve posted some shot of his Coupe before, but at that time it had 18″ Style 67 E46 M3 wheels and stock suspension. Since then he has added Chrome Shadow Roadstars, and lowered the Coupe. I’m guessing KW suspension, as that seems the frequent choice in Europe, whereas TC Kline is a frequent choice in the US. The ride height looks perfect, and the wheels look perfectly flush in the rear. When I was running Roadstars, I had 18mm spacers in the rear. I’m guessing he is running something similar. The M flag vinyl graphic is an interesting touch. I haven’t seen anybody highlight the lower portion of the “C” pillar before.

M52B28 Z3 Coupe | Hellrot Red | Dream Red

M52B28 Z3 Coupe | Hellrot Red | Dream Red | Race Car | Aero

 

This Z3 Coupe race car was posted on flickr.com by nordschleifenfan. Based upon the non-chrome trimmed kidney grille slats, I believe this is a 98 or 99. The only mod that I can distinguish with any accuracy are the Hamann side mirrors. There’s a boat load of track specific mods, including: front and rear bumper, rear diffuser, spoiler, ducted front and rear fenders, roll cage, Rial wheels (I’m assuming thanks to the sponsorship logo on the hood), and suspension. I suspect that there is something other than a stock M52 under the hood, but there is no indication of exactly what is there. From the photo, it appears that this is a sunroof delete model. I wonder if that is the case, or if it has been replaced, or simply covered with vinyl.
