Not your typical Z3..

Deary me, look at this thing! That's some effort that's gone in. The sound of it as well.

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.

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.

I guess that's one way to spend a lot of money

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.

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.
