I've managed to come up with a sufficiently convincing argument on that front for my wife, but I don't think I can produce the argument for the SC to convince her.
I can't decide which I want more, a blown Z4MC or a Z3MC to keep my 4 company! I just hope they have some cheap Z3Ms in Oz :roll:
IIRC there are only a handful of MCs in Oz and they sell for at least 50% more than they do here in the UK.BMWZ4MC said:
EDIT: just found this from an Australian Z3MC owner on the Z3Mcoupe forum: "I believe there were only ever 40 or so S50s imported to Australia and only 1 S54 by a chap in Perth....piece by piece if I am not mistaken.
BMWZ4MC said:I've had a brief look for cars for sale in Oz - all Z3s and Z4s seem to be around twice the UK price...and I couldn't find any Z3Ms for sale
Yup there aren't many zeds and hardly Ms any out here. Paid $65,000 for mine, and plougged about $10,000 into it so far!
Not seen another 4m on the road let alone 3s!
Its crazy, you can get a 360 or srt imported for the same money (my next motor of choice!) But youd see less 4ms so it always gets looks and even photos taken which always makes me giggle.
Right - plan now is to put the car back to stock over the next few months. I plan to do most of the work between x-mas and New Year, but giving myself a deadline on end of Jan.
As a heads up, this is what will be going up for sale by then. This should give those interested time to get funds set aside.
1) Super sprint Race Cans with X-pipe
2) Super sprint Manifold - stepped version which has been modified to fit the Z
3) 100 Cell cats
4) Recarro Pole position seats with all the running gear (mounts, runners, and harness belts) so is just fits straight in without fus.
5) Front & rear AP BBK kit with PF discs (discs & pads are in very good condition)
6) Intrax suspension including top mounts - rears were serviced 18 months ago and fronts are due a service. Will service before putting up for sale
7) Gruppe M induction kit.
'8') APR front Splitter - this very functional and is adjustable via two drop links at the front.
9) Strong Strut brace
10) RPI Scoop - funnels air into the gruppe M, therefore increasing air flow
11) ACS Spoiler - (Rear deck swap) so only be limited to Carbon Black coupes
12) IPod interface
13) Forgestar F14 wheels 18" - fronts are 9.0J and Rears are 10.0J. These wheels weigh about 3kg per corner less that stock wheels ( http://www.forgestar.com/blog/?p=374) or CSL wheels for that matter meaning sizeable unsprang weight savings mean quick faster acceleration simples.. These wheels are a wider offset in the rear so can take from 255-285's easily 295's at a max push.
14) Nearly new 2x285/18/30 Toy R888.s - these are pretty much new, only covered 500 miles. Bought in Sept for a euro trip and took off in Oct to road tyres.
15) Used Toyo R888 4x 265/18 - ideal as a spare track day wheel
16) Used Toyo R888 2 x 225/18 - Just for Track days.
17) Stock car
I'll start a FS thread during the week with prices so, but in the meantime, please PM if you're interested or have any questions
