It's the (essentially) same gearbox that is also used in the non M z4, also used amongst others in cars like the mighty 118d

The e46M3 does use a getrag box, I believe it's not possible to fit that in the z4 chassis, happy to be corrected though.

Which gearbox is fitted to the manual E92 M3?
North West Surrey

It had Bilsteins fitted a few years ago, so maybe the trim didn't go back right!
Just noticed it's wearing over-sized tyres for some reason, although I suppose they will protect the rims better.
Anyway 3 bids in the last minute, and it looks like it made £14,860, so with 6% commission that's £15,750. Still the Eventuri intake is probably worth £500!

Approved used Z4MC for £16k, looks like it is one of the very few genuine AC Schnitzer cars:

Says MOA but it has 121,500 miles.

I think the price is reflected by the 121k miles.
Looks like a good buy for someone,

This one used to live in the next village from me.
High miles, but could be a good project car for someone. I know Islip Motors very well, they're a trustworthy local village garage, so don't let that put you off.

That Autotrader one looks like a good buy, although the spec is pretty basic with no parking sensors, heated seats, cruise or Sat Nav!
The Pistonheads one must be the cheapest around, but it's done some miles! I wonder if the bearing shells have been replaced yet?

don't think there will be many in this combo
Needs a trip to the trimmers to have that blue dyed black
I’d put money on fact these seats used to be in a non ///M. Pretty sure you could never spec that combo.
In all my time looking at M sport seats, the Ms have the base side supports without panels in them.
So M are just one piece of leather, vs two sections in non Ms.
So yeah... not ideal as I think the leather isn’t as nice quality either?
You're right, genuine M seats don't have a seam in the side bolster, and they have an "M" embossed in the headrest.
The Bi-Colour seats were an option on non-Ms in New England leather, but Ms all had Nappa - although I don't know how they compare in terms of quality.

Well it looks like I was wrong - again.
I just went and checked my M price list and Bi-Colour seats were a £535 option on the M - which may be why there aren't too many around!
Interesting that they have the extra seam on the bolsters and no M logo on the headrest, which means they are identical to the Bi-Colour seats offered for the non-Ms.

But are the Ms Nappa not New England?
