I have to share cause I'm so in love with my wife's first toy car. (I'm a little jealous)
My wife has wanted a convertible to drive around town for a long time(few years). I also wanted something that got better than 13mpg, as her SUV does. Well, me being cheap and never having a lot of spending money we had to wait until our taxes came back.
Well I had been looking for something in our price range for a while and couldn't find anything that was nice enough for her to drive. I wanted something that wouldn't give her (me) a lot of problems. So I just got the money and couldn't find anything nice or that wasn't a dog bed. Then a few days ago I was looking at Craigslist and ran across a 96 Extremely Modded Z3 that I had seen a few years ago when I was looking for a smaller car. It was now with another owner and he just had a baby and his wife told him to get rid of it AND he couldn't pass emissions with it since it had the EVAP system removed from it. Where we live we don't have emissions
I called him and went and bought it Sunday. WE LOVE this rocket.
It started out as a regular 1.9L 4cylinder Z3. Two owners back, the owner from Monroe(where I live), removed the 4cyl and slid in a S52 3.2L M3 engine (312HP), with a MZ3 tranny, brakes, suspension and other little MZ3 decorative things inside, changed the interior to suade with aftermarket seats and all the MZ3 gauges and dash accents added wheels and lowered the car. Oh also put a new roof on it.
The car is pretty much restored to be a MZ3 except it doesn't have the MZ3 wide rear fenders. But I don't mind cause without the wide fenders it was also without the extremely expensive price.
So anyways, it's SO MUCH fun and I am so happy I could talk the wife into it. Check it out->
Here ya go. I Love it......
