Vass 818 Report post Posted April 6, 2022 Deary me, look at this thing! That's some effort that's gone in. The sound of it as well. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/z3/listing/3543928083?bof=ZIRQvZue 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZ00Z3 187 Report post Posted April 6, 2022 While it is as cool as a 32 Ford hot-rod with a Chev engine, You've got to give the guy credit for a conversion that is really quite smooth and clean. A very good job. Dyno chart gives it around 225kW or 300 HP. Not sure if that's at the wheels or engine? About the same as a Z3M. Love the Branding. a combination of GM and BMW to get GMW 🤣 At $35k, priced around the same for a Z3M. While I enjoyed the photos and video, it's not destined for my garage.

Palazzo 474 Report post Posted April 6, 2022 I think it’s awesome, although don’t see any mention of sub frame strengthening. I don’t remember a s52/54 getting to more than 206kw at Torque Performance and none would have had the torque of this either. Fun car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KwS 2421 Report post Posted April 7, 2022 Whilst its kinda cool, its a car i would want to drive once and give the keys back to the owner never to think about it again. The badging is also cringe as all heck. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blackie 510 Report post Posted April 7, 2022 American car gets an American v8. It looks factory but doesn't float my boat like an M Roadster does. Agree that the badges are tack. First thing new buyer should fix. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
