everyday parts seem to be similar - i guess i fht eengine blows or whatever, yeah, thats gonna hurt.
ive seen other stuff about the vanos being a bit unreliable.

Sorry guys.
There is no such car as a BMW Z3M.
It will either be a BMW M Roadster.
Or a BMW M Coupe.
And I thought you were all proper petrolheads.
The car was derived from the Z3 but was never branded as such.

I just counted >20 "Z3M" for sale on Pistonheads.
Wow, what a deluded lot they are...
You are talking bollocks.
Get over to the BMW approved used car website and search for a BMW Z3M roadster or coupe.
Unless of course you know more than they do

Suggest you check BMW website if you want the facts.

They are dealer placed ads on the BMW car locator system..
Fact; the car was never branded as a Z3M.
This is because BMW are very specific about their "M Cars"
Ergo, you will never find a BMW 3 Series M3 for example.
They are simply branded BMW M3.
The only (recent) exception has been the BMW Z4 M Roadster and Coupe.
Suggest you check archive material from the launch.
I see no reason to engage in a battle of wits with someone who has only half the qualifications.
