The clutch was ruined when it came out and had destroyed the flywheel, so both items were replaced. The new ACT paddle will hold up to 650ft lbs of torque which the car will never be near. I also fitted a lightened flywheel to replace the heat scorched standard one.

I've modified the turbo again, lol. It now runs an 82mm compressor wheel with extended tips. The car is quick! It actually excites me a lot when I take it out, 3rd gear is relentless! You can stick this car in any gear and it will suck you into the seat :D

For sale:wack::rotfl:

Got the new motor home today, well happy with it! This is staying as it is, it doesn't need anything doing to it.

Cheers, Dave. The only other time I've been more happy with a car is when I bought the S15! The Beemer is just an awesome car, it's still got some poke too. It's my first German motor and none turbo car as a weekend/fun purchase. The car is near immaculate and its got full service history from BMW and independents through its whole life, this may be a keeper.

Thanks, Chris. I'm enjoying it a lot at the moment, it gets a hell of a lot of attention, it's like being in my old S15 again but totally different to drive. I'm just happy to get in a car without thinking something is going to go wrong like I did constantly with the Evo, haha

They are proper rare mate, only 821 made in the S50 model, which I have, and 150 or so in the S54 which runs the E46 M3 engine. I haven't actually seen another one in years, so I'm glad I bought one.

I've looked at v8 conversions for it, I'm bored of the power already, lol! I keep telling myself not to mess about with it too much and keep it original as it'll be worth so much more money.

Adam, yeah I've got some more pics of it...










I may may have also just purchased some 3 piece split rims for it too :D

The engine is staying standard, mate, going to get a carbon intake and exhaustand coilovers, that's it. I can't wait for the wheels to be shipped, I'm so excited, haha. They're on a show car in Germany at the moment, so need to wait a couple of weeks for them to be delivered.

Cheers, Adam. I found a company on eBay that sell rare genuine German split rims. I won a set of wheels about a month ago but had to wait for them to be shipped from Germany. I finally had time to go and collect them today and when I got there he showed me this set that had just come in, so I bought these instead of the set I actually won. The offset was quite low for the fronts though so he wanted to fit them to the car to make sure they fitted before letting me take them, it was a really good service.

Apparently there is no other Z3M Coupe rocking these wheels in the UK, that's not my words so I can't say whether it's totally true.
