G-Power Z3M Coupe

[Cheburator mk2]

My brother just bought the G-Power Evo III Z3M Coupe, which won the Tuners Grand Prix in 2001... Collecting on Saturday... 525Bhp and 600Nm... No traction control and a crude chasis... Porsche GT2 brakes, Recaro buckets, roll cage, Schroth Harnesses and a few other goodies... Should be fun

The only downside is that now my own Z4M Coupe will feel sluggish

Christ that sounds like a proper handful they can be tricky enough to drive in standard form! Good work though

Any internet links to this amazing motor?

Please please post some piccies.

Thanks.

Pics on Sunday when he gets back from Germany with the beast... Cannot wait myself... It would be fun to see whether we can trigger a speed camera at 170mph with the german plates... Now that's an idea

I have been told that it has the E46M3 6spd unit and that the diff has an electric pump and an external cooler. Top speed around 200mph/322kmh guaranteed, on a good day he should see 345km/h (according to the PO) There is only one way to find out

P.S. Pics from the brochure - will add more on Sunday when I see the car in person...

What engine does it have?

Cheburator,

Does your family offer adoption facilities? The best of BMW with some added Pork - what a beautiful combination!

My family is doing its best to keep up with the Cheburators with an E34 M5, 968 CS, and a Z4M in the current stable. Now we need to find a beasty!

Cheers,

Euan :-)

It is running G-Power's own version of the Evo engine. Custom lower compression and lower friction forged pistons, custom rings, custom forged conrods, stainless head gasket, custom intake, custom headers and exhaust, including 100 cell race cats, custom ECU, supercharger delivering 0.8 bar of boost and a custom air to water intercooler. The engine cost around 25k to build, and that is excluding the cost of the motor itself. The car has 22k miles...

Hello mate,

I did not realise that you bought a M5 too. Nice choice! Would I see you at the Ring this Easter? Good chance to compare notes on the Z4 Get Carbopads from RR

[GTRene]

wow, respect thats a nice car... They also can build the V10 M5 engine into the Z3 M @G-power...

the UK looks prettier now, they have already a one of Hartge Z3 roadster 4.7 and now that special G-power car that most of us Z3 guys know of, cool...

maybe we will see it @ the Ring some day I will go to I guess at least 2 times with some members of a Dutch carforum driving-fun.com

cheers
