<![CDATA[Z3M Coupe]]>Just picked up a very nice 1999 Z3M Coupe this past weekend. Only 56k on the clock. Originally cosmos over black, repainted very well back in 2005 in Laguna Seca Blue. Can't wait to start modifying it! Stock currently, other than H&R springs. First order of business is finding some oem headlights.

KW coilovers, Ground Control camber/caster plates, lower control arms,  TC Kline rear shock mounts, sway bar links and bushings all installed the past week or two. Had some time to do a paint correction yesterday as well as install a paint matched rear wiper delete. Getting closer to being satisfied...for now.

This car fucks.

I'm not familiar with these cars, is like an E36 underneath and it's just a different body on top? Or is this car engineered on its own?

+1

The z3m roadster and coupe are mechanically the same, basically a beefed up version of the 318ti. Front suspension is e36m, rear suspension is similar to an e30 but with e36m rear brakes, much stronger axles, and everything reinforced everywhere.

The style fits it so well, I’m really excited to see it in person eventually! Glad you were able to get them all figured out!

Perfect!

Best part was showing up to his place, beating on the m3 and then leaving with the engine all in the same morning 😁

Nice progress, TJ! Can’t wait to see this on the new wheels this summer.

Hoping to have them buttoned up and on the car in the next couple weeks!

Rears needed a little clearancing at a 4 degree angle to fit inside the new lips. A friend that dabbles in machining got me set up and was able to try my hand at it. Brand new center caps should be here tomorrow. Then, off for coating.

Had some custom Radinox lips made by Felgenfuchs in Germany. The wheels are 18" AC Schnitzer Type 2 Racing, made by Ronal. I had to buy an entire e36 M3 to get them.... Thankfully, everything came apart without breaking any of the unobtainable titanium hardware. I need to have a friend machine the faces before powder coating. Can't wait to get these together!

glad you switched the headlights and fixed the grills. car looks awesome!

Thanks! I actually held off on driving the car until I had the stock lights in. I hated the aftermarket ones that much haha.

Since picking the car up, I've swapped wheels/tires, stock headlights, added wheel spacers, Gruppe M carbon airbox, bimmerworld intake elbow to delete ASC, AC Schnitzer leather steering wheel, and installed a BMW motorsports golf ball weighted knob.
