I've driven both the Shoe and the Z3M. They are both very fun cars and I'd take either version. They are toss able and easily recover if the rear comes around. Plus the s52 is such a simple engine. I'd say it's got more torque in the low to mid range than an s54. If high revs and speeds are desired then an s54 is the way to go. But with the s54 be prepared to spend money maintaining the engine. Thank you for sharing Kennan.

What’s interesting is that nobody was neutral on it’s looks. Love it, hate it… with nobody in the middle. As I owned a CRX with it’s huge lift gate, I loved the design of this BMW since it’s launch.

Z3 was based on E30 underpinnings to keep cost down. Therefore it has E30 baseplate with narrow transmission tunnel. As M coupe is based on same platform it has same limitations as E30. Only option BMW had was to use 5-speed. It was simple cost saving and not protecting M3 why it has 5-speed. If there were space available they would have given it 6-speed to streamline production.

Hey Kennan, as time goes by you bring more and more interesting automobiles. In this case,, The M coupe, had a lot of parallelism with the Ferrari FF when both cars were launched. both coupes, both with an unusual weird shape (which in my opinion is fantastic, sorry purists) unseen with that kind of sports cars. Well, a friend of mine had the second gen of this car and a 78 Porsche 911, the basic model, and guess what? he always told me that the Beemer was far more fun to drive than the 911, and perfect for a single guy daily driving. So whoever gets this I bet you he is going to have a shitload of fun. Well done. Much love as always from West Spain :-)

These cars are too expensive for what they are. The least desirable ones, with some miles, is what, mid 30's. For that money, buy a base model 987.1 Porsche Cayman. Lighter, handles better, still faster in a straight line, more reliable, and less than 1/2 the price, and you are getting a real mid-engine sports car. Or for what the decent S54 clownshoes are going for, get a 981 Cayman S for the same money, a FAR better car. You have to really like the look of one of these to even consider it. If you really have to have this look and a BMW - the Z4 M actually sells for less money!

Just an fyi @5:20, the z3m coupe and roadster share the same rear end and wheelbase. All z3s use trailing arm suspension like e30s... and e32 and e34 ect. It was the affordable option at the time before bmw introduced multilink irs with the e31 and z1. Main reason why they used trailing arms was because of cost cutting, but also because the z3 shares a LOT with the e36/5 also known as the 318ti hatchback. E36 front end and e30ish rear. What the z3m has different from the regular trims is wider trailing reinforced arms for more offset to fit their wider wheels. Also they have diff cooling fins, with a real clutch based LSD. Realistically the only difference between the roadster and coupe is the fact the coupe has added ridgidity due to the fact it has a roof.
