Z3's Power and Functionality....

[BlueDiamondZ3]

ALl you Z3 owners ..Lets exchange the various upgrades from air induct. to chips..
There are many Z3's out and about. But on ocassion you'lll see a Z3 m5 ripping past you in the fast lane...do tell of your experinces and personal enhancements of the vehicle..." ground affects, rims, tires....and what ever you wanna share on the subject..

well, as i can say i have never seen a Z3 M5??? Zip by me, i do like the magnetic rear fender guards i have for my Z. They really help protect from rock chips. Just got my car, so haven't had too much time to mod. I'm also in a jam with my 325iS so money is going towards that beast first!

I've only done a few things on my car, I put on clear bumper lights and clear side markers, I'm going to install my ///M-Technic shift knob and ///M aluminum pedals in a week, and I'm getting clear or smoked tails... in a while, I'll get clear Euro headlights, like around Christmas. Do you think clear or smoked tails would look better on a fairly dark Z3 like mine?

I would definitely like to see/know what this Z3 M5 is.

stjobs: IMO i'd go with clear tail lights. It looks a lot cleaner.

DTM went through a major change, I see...
Well, for those of you who don't know me, I used to have 2000 M Roadster but upgraded it to 2001. I have pretty much all the bolt ons available for S54 at this time. But if anyone else has more idea, please let me know...

[BlueDiamondZ3]

Hi ya Roadster;
looks like you have a fine line of cars there, I especailly like the audi<<myself..
I'm a new member here on DTM<< and my question is " I recently purchased a Z3M roadster...now the paper work on the car says ..it's a 3.2liter, striaght 6 cylndr....many on this post say that that engine does not exist>>>>" is taht true??> should i go back to the dealership and confirm that notion???>>>Ha dfthe car for about a month now and just got back from a long road trip ...the carolinas<<<the car has power that is ponly experinced by the driver>" it wakes up at 80mph>>>>
Any info on this subject is greatly appprecaited>>
Thanks " Roadster"...

The 3.2 inline six definitely exists! There is no BMW V-6 like you mistakenly called your inline six in the other thread.

Hope this helps

My previous S52 2000 M Roadster had 3.2 I6.
My current S54 2001 M Roadster has 3.2 I6.
S54 motor is slightly bigger but not by much.
Neverthless, they are 3.2 litre inline 6 motor.

[Z's Bimmer]

Yes, that's what you have in your car, the 3.2 inline 6.
And last time I got my oil changed, it took almost 7 qts.
