Anyone know about Z3M coupe thingies

[Karlosfandango]

I have posted this in the BMW section but thought that my wonderful local chums might also be able to help out.

My Dad may have finally decided to take the step of buying a Z3M Coupe. Not entirely sure if that's it's official name but its the Z3 with a roof. He's been toying with the idea for about, oh 10 years (rollseyes) but this time I'm assured he's going for it, despite my disbelief.

I have no idea where would be a good place to start looking for info, so thought I'd drop in here. At the moment I have no idea what sort of budget he has in mind. The most important thing is probably getting an idea of what to look out for and any problems that are common. Is the Vanos thingy as much of an issue as is banded around?

Cheers in advance

Hi,

I personally like the shape and especially the engine as I once owned a E46 M3.

dont get a red one...he'll look like postman pat.


its the same engine as in my car.....very good....3.2L 321bhp in line 6

the vanos thing is apparently an issue, but it seems to be only if you are unlucky....people say that they can go on for ever or fall over and die quickly....i've not had any trouble with my double vanos unit touch wood.
