Z4 Coupe or Z3 Coupe

If the z3 had more performance i would take it more seriously but its just a bit limp wristed and wet

Z3 Coupe classic?

Old - yes, classic? no.

This is classic:

Thats classic now and always will be, but give it 10, 15 maybe 20 years and i can defo see Z3 M coupes sat on display in fields in summer with car nuts drooling over them, still may not be considered a "classic" against many other vehicles, maybe "modern classic" would categorise it better.
 
I normally like the older shaped beemers but the z3m coupe looks really old fashioned to me, so I put my vote in on the z4m coupe :thumbsup:
 
I think they look stunning..i never used to..but i dont think they will date..they are retro already as they where at launch...the Z4 was made to look modern and will definately look dated in a few years (but not in a good way) I think the rarity of the Z3 coupe will pay an important part as they never made a Z3 coupe with a lesser badge than "M"

not convinced mr H , remember this http://blogautomobile.fr/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/jaguar-lynx-eventer.jpg

may have seemed like a good idea at the time but now resembles a bastard child conceived from cilla black & dale winton :cry:
 
A different scratch for a different itch...

The z3mc is definite classic in the shooting break tradition, love the aggressive rear styling but I'm not as keen on the front. It has the cool old school triple oil/water/batt gauges which is cool

Where the z4mc is a modern mini GT, the severe flame surfacing will keep it standing out for a long while yet.

Don't think they can be compared directly, and would love to own both aswell :thumbsup:

I dont think that was actually produced by Jaguar, wasnt it a company called Lynx? So was never going to achieve classic status..but neither has the XJS to be fair, even in TWR form.
 
Yup. This is taken from Wikipedia, but I know the owner of one...

"The Z3 coupés were only available with the largest 6-cylinder engine offered in the Z3 roadster: the 2.8 L in 1999 and 2000 and the 3.0 L in 2000 for Europe and in 2001 for the US."

They did but none in the UK.

I love the Z3c and if I didnt need a modern car then I'd be driving it. I do think the Z3c will be a classic before the Z4c, due to its rarity and quirky looks.....When i can I will buy one and park it next to me Z4c.

if you dont mind driving 10 years old car than get the Z3c before they disappear....
 
I have coveted a Z3MC as long as I have known how to drive....One day I will have a pair of MCs :roll:
 
I prefer the Z4C, but the Z3C definitely has that marmite styling that has given it or will give it a cult following.
