Show and Go!
I have always loved the Z3 body style and once I scraped together enough cash to get an M-roadster, I did. And then spend plenty of time making it mine. I wanted to push the Euro/BMW scene with my M Roadster, because there are not a lot of Beamers done like this. It is really becoming a show and go car, so.... if any sponsors in the Northeast would like to give me a shout, that would be great.

In 2002 I got my first taste of a Z3 and made some simple improvements but always wanted a bit more out of the 2.5l BMW.
Then I found a salvage M on Ebay and ended up winning, then I needed to sell the black Z3 to pay for my improvements, and as I eventually found out some serious repairs.

I try to do eveything I can to work on this car myself. I have spent countless hours in the garage going after it.

It has a 248HP 3.2L M engine and a 3.73 gear on a 5spd.

Strong-front, rear strut bars and longitudenalbody braces . I had to replace the whole rear diff housing and during that process, put in Ireland bushings and a dual mount differential.

I really need a set of coilovers, probably TC Kline's, there is the diff, bushings, and anti roll bar w/ reinforced tabs Spitfire8's 2000 BMW M Roadster

I completely gutted the convertible top and its skeleton, it is Hard top or no top, making room for a system.
