No it was most definitely a Z3 or shaped just like one. I just did a google search...it appears there was a M-roadster. The badges are in the same place. I've never heard of it. Was it only made overseas?




The fenders were flared out a great deal on the car I saw compared to other Z3s, so it must have been the real deal.

 

I've seen that car around, too.

 

Just look at Blah's signature. They are everywhere up here. It's basically a Z3 on roids.
Here's some eye candy.

so, let me get this straight. You think that I'm jealous of your car, which is almost as old as I am, because it is low mileage, which does not mean shit isn't breaking (rubber bushing age and crack no matter what unless it is in a climate controlled environment), and has a suspension installed. Wow, you ARE an uppity prick and you can call me a punk for saying so, if it makes you feel any better. Perhaps you should look at the cars I'm driving before you speak so quickly. Not only do I have suspensions installed, but I do all my own work and actually use my mods to thier fullest because I push my cars to their absolute limits at the track. You never told us how often you roll 240s on the road course and where you got all your expert information.
My advice would be to sell that car to somebody who will actually drive it like it should be, go and buy yourself a used PT cruiser with the money from that sale, and go buy yourself a night at a bordello so that you can get right and relax.

 

Reading is such a problematic task to grasp these days it seems. I said the springs/shocks were recentlyinstalled so of course, that's the only thing done to the car. Assume much? Ass. Bushings have all been hyperflexed. There are more mods but not extensive. This isn't a civic that you can go wild on. I guess I'm supposed to bow down to you because you own a Poopra? Riiiiight. You know where you can shove that advice. I've seen it on the track and I've seen it on the streets. I not once said I am a pro SCCA driver and this is my professional opinion. Thanks for the sig.

 

And yet like the other tool bags in this thread you speak like your an authoritive on what the capabilities of an M class BMW.....................But you did not know that the M Roadster and M Coupe existed when in this very thread, someone has a sig picture of his very own M Coupe right in front of your face. Classic............ really fucking classic.....

 

No opinion, based on fact, I have driven an M3, and I decided on a 330i with the ZHP package instead. Based solely on the fact that the M3 rides rougher is not nearly as forgiving in day to day driving and is tuned as such for race track not street. In fact the 330i that I had purchased was traded in for a new M3, I ran into that same owner while I was getting my 15,000 mile service done. He also stated if he could get the 330i back he would, because he did not like driving the M3. It was not comfortable and had too much road feel and noise.
Your expectations can suck a big fat dick buddy. I could care less about what aftermarket world you dream in. But it is very difficult to pick up 150hp, obtain the handeling capability of an M3, and still maintain driveability and comfort while doing it in any of those other cars. Just because you cannot afford to drive such a beast does not mean you have to pick on its price, if money was an object in which we determined that was the only thing that mattered when purchasing a vehicle, then we would all be driving the same thing.

 

Not to mention reliability and street legality.

 

but this wasn't the issue. the issue was you saying in not so few words that it couldn't be done because the m was so much better by default. i was just saying that if you're going to pay that much for a luxury sports car of its caliber, it damn sure should be- BUT if you bought it solely to beat up on imports at the track, prepare to be surprised when one with a few things done in the right places blows your doors off, and the guy paid less than you to do it. so you could then make yourself feel better on the way home in your beautiful leather interior and 6-speaker surround sound, or whatever the hell else other creature comforts you overpaid for. (note- if i did have the money, which i don't and don't feel any less of a man because of that, i would buy an m3 with the quickness. i'm just arguing with these people in this thread because they're so off base with the shit they're spewing out.)

 

I knew the M Coupe existed...but I don't recall ever debating the capabilities of the M-Roadster, so I don't see any relevance to the subject. Another BMW nut bringing up irrelevent, idiotic points to a debate. Classic............really fucking classic......
