NOOB's picture introduction

[AarehadC]

hey everybody! Thought a good way to get myself introduced around here is contribute a couple pics of my car. Anyone else out there with a coupe?

[///Mental]

[944attack]

awesome, these are one of my favorite bimmers, i checked out a yellow one yesterday in a parking lot in daytona.. very very cool

[whoyodaddy79]

Nice....:bow: :germanflag:

[LDadrenaline]

nice looking car man!

Lynx has a M3 coupe vert (is that the right way to say it?)

[Variance]

LD, he has an M Roadster.

Aarehad, very nice car. Style 42's ftw.

[AarehadC]

Style 42's ftw.
Can you explain?

[Variance]

Your wheels, they're Style 42 Cross Spokes in BMW's designation. One of my favorite wheels and go really well with the car and color.

[AarehadC]

oh yeah, I love those wheels too. I just wish the rear wheels had a bigger lip. Do you think that since they are two-piece rims, that i could get a fatter lip on it?

[Variance]

Not sure. It's a possibility, but it'd probably be quite expensive.

[David A]

First off - great pictures! I have a friend that's looking at some E36/8's right now...


Not sure. It's a possibility, but it'd probably be quite expensive.


Second - yeah, I'm going to agree with Variance that it's probably going to be expensive to re-hoop the rears...might as well get some BBS that already have a nice lip! :cheers:

[Mr.bimmerPuck]

welcome to the site very nice looking car

[TheDarkSide]

Paul: I don't think it would be that expensive.. I think it would be the same as any other rim to rehoop... Are these stock rims? again, nice car man...

[JCapelo]

sexy car.

Nice car batman2 has 1 think in black

[SlickShift]

Love the Z3 Coupe. You don't see too many of those around. Nice color and wheels BTW. Batman has the M Coupe, just a tad faster ;)

[AwesomeBMW]

:bow: very, very nice... welcome to FG:germanflag:

[JuCo]

Welcome...very nice:thumbu:

[AarehadC]

... Are these stock rims? again, nice car man...
yep, they're stock. Pretty much everything on my car is either stock or BMW parts. i.e.. euro bumper lights. Oh, except the tint. had to get one here in FL.

Does anyone know what part of florida batman2 lives in?



...Batman has the M Coupe, just a tad faster ;)
I'm pretty sure batman2 has the S52 motor, which only has a 15hp gain on me, but parts are more $$ and so is insurance. I'm very content with a Z3 coupe.

[Variance]

Batman2's over in the Orlando area.

[prophecy]

so sexy.. i love it. did you have to import that from europe or something?

[SlickShift]

I wasn't putting down your Z3. You're right, the M54 and S52 aren't too far apart in performance.

[TheDarkSide]

Damn, gorgeous! Welcome!

[AarehadC]

so sexy.. i love it. did you have to import that from europe or something?
Actually, I got it "imported" from Chicago. I scoured the internet for a '01-'02 Z3 coupe and this one only had 28k miles and was the right price. I've only had it two months now, so I'm still getting used to the idea that its actually MINE!

[TheDarkSide]

I'm still getting used to the idea that its actually MINE!

:lol: I am still not past that with mine, funny you say that...

[catchuk]

nice coupe man. I always thought it would be sweet to own one of those.

[LynxZ3r0]

Very nice :) And welcome.

Not quite a coupe, but I am a rag-top kinda guy, so I took a little less comfort and a little less rigidity for the wind in my hair.

[kelso]

im not going to lie, i didnt know there was a z3 coupe. i thought the only coupe was the m coupe... oh well its still hot and id rock that for life

[LynxZ3r0]

It's actually very interesting...

The Z3 Coupe is the only car in BMW's history where the M model actually has *MORE* cars produced per year (where both a M and non-M version were available). Very hard to find them.

Jake start a thread with some pics of your car and some of the turboooo

PSHHHH

yayer:thumbu:

[prophecy]

so this did not see us production and had to be imported from elsewhere correct?

I wish I had a decent camera. I almost bought a nice Canon 30D or wtfever, but I ran out of money when I realized I needed to pay for classes this semester.

If someone wants to lend me a camera I'd be happy to, though. And I gotta get video before/after exhaust sometime.

Incorrect, all Z3 body cars were produced in Spartanburg, SC. It's just that VERY few of the Z3 Coupes rolled off the line. BMW anticipated the low sales of such a niche car (M Coupe included) and accordingly dropped the production rate to generally <1,500 per year (About 1,000 M - 500 Z; I believe the S52 M Coupes were produced in slightly higher numbers than 1,000 however... I'd have to look it up and I'm lazy.). They assumed (correctly) that the car would be purchased in M trim more often than Z because the coupe version catered more to the weekend racing crowd more than the roadster's "poser" ideal.

[TheDarkSide]

That is interesting :eek:

Before I purchased this car, the only coupes I had seen in person were all M Coupes. It wasn't 'till after I purchased my car that i could say I've seen a Z3 coupe. (because i bought it from a dealer in chicago, i couldn't see my car 'till it was delivered).
Its really weird buying a model of a car you've never actually seen

[TheDarkSide]

I bet :eek:

[The Weiner]

what couldnt go all the way :lol: i've seen you on bimmerforums in the z3/mcoupe section ... i dont know where the eff you live but there are a few of us in sarasota well three coupes counting me and 2 roadsters that i know of.... oops :shhh:

[The Weiner]

incorrect they made them here just the mcoupe/z3 coupes were very linited production
