Hi everyone

I have z4 E85 with 2.0 engine manuel gearbox
Do you know if there is major differences in general between a 2.0 and 3.0 z4 suspension brakes etc?

I would like to upgrade my engine from 2.0 to a 3.0 engine do you know if it is an easy swap and what there is to be swapped as ecu engine mount etc?
 
Welcome to the forum Dorian. :) If you ever come back after that fine reception, then listen to Mr Bear. He is very smart. :thumbsup:

Oh and post up a picture of your Zed. :wink:
 
Indeed, unless you're a particular fan of doing engine swaps and like a challenge, its a lot easier and cheaper just to sell your 2.0 and buy a 3.0.

2 seater sportscars are dirt cheap right now... not that you should be travelling anywhere to look at one right now...
 
As said above, much easier and probably no more expensive to change the car. And what would be the future value of a 3 litre 2.0, as who would ever buy it off you? And what about insurance?
 
I was a member of the Capri fraternity for around 30 years. When people started to collect them and restore them it was all the V6 models that everyone wanted. Consequently, a lot of the little-engined ones were broken for spares or simply run into the ground.

Now the market is awash with 2.8i and 3.0S models, but if you had a Mk2 1300L for example, it would be the rarest car of the bunch.

Whilst I realise this is a quite polarising opinion, I do just wonder if in a few years time, assuming Greta and the coronavirus leave us alone, we won't all be saying "hey look, there's a 2.0 E85, you don't see many of those around any more".


I am now expecting a swathe of "Huh! There's a good reason for that" type comments. :poke: :D

But does rare mean it's sought after? I wouldn't have thought so?
And certainly wouldn't think a 2.0i would ever demand a "oh look" reaction.

OK, that's exactly the reaction you would have got from the Capri set 20 years ago, but now...............

Just saying
