Massive long shot here, I'm after a M Coupe (Z3 base) in Australia (just like the title), from what I gather the only ones sold here in Australia had the E36 M3 engine in them, not the E46 engine like the ones in Blighty. If anyone has imported one and is looking to sell or knows of one for sale Id be mighty appreciative if they got in touch. Frankly even an Oz one would do as they seem to be very rare over here.

Since I'm at it, are there any Australian based BMW forums that people use that aren't filled with 18 year olds?

Theres a red M Coupe for sale in Perth. I've seen it in Subiaco a few times with a Carsales For Sale sticker in the back window. It stands out a mile!

I've seen those, but was hopefully looking for a private import with the later engine. The one in Perth from what I can gather is a private import as its servicing early in its life was done in north oxford and ascot. Also the fact that the ad refers to everything in miles!

The NT is interesting apart from the body mods, again email has been sent, waiting for reply!

You could try speaking to David Dye at 3MW in Osborne Park. He may be able to source one for you somewhere in the country.
