The photos work on this forum...http://www.z3mcoupe.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?t=2046

I spent my first proper day with it and had loved every second. Even got pulled over by the police but he just said "can you slow down a bit" and let me go. Shocked

I thought my e30 m3 could corner but this is something else. A bit more tail happy but easy enough to control if you haven't got a lead foot.

Now i have to decide which car to keep. I wish I could have both of them but its just not possible.





 

 


The car has Schnitzer suspension and an E-Tech Strut brace. I haven't experienced a standard MC so I'm not sure how much difference they make.

Cool night time shot..isn't this what batman would drive on his day off!

Thanks! looks much better in the flesh too. It sits much lower than a standard MC with the ACS suspension.

Yes veeeery nice. I think the ACS kit is improving the handling quite a lot.
I might get weak in the future......

I'm getting weak right now Uwe. I have to make that awful decision and the more time I spend with the coupe the more I forget about the e30 I'll wait till that is back on the road and see if she can win me back!

At least you have owned an E30 M3 and you know what you will loose. I can understand your struggle, the e30 is a 18 year old car and as nice as it looks/drives it becomes more diffcult to keep it on the road and going strong.
I am hoping to save mine another 2 years from the brown cancer and than it's time to move on after 7 years of ownership. I will keep the M3 if I can find a decent storage......

Very nice car

Like the last picture too.

When the coupe 1st came out i thought they were sooo ugly but they have grown on me i think if i did not have a M3 i would prob consider buying one.

There is a red one in my area which is totally mint if i ever see a for sale sign on it i might dip into my pocket.

Thought about getting it waxoyled? I don`t know much about it myself but garages can do the whole underside of the car and some people swear by it. Even treating rusty areas can slow the rusting process (apparently). I guess if it seals from moistuer and oxygen then it will.
