Default Where to find a Z3M Coupe?

Hi guys, well my mustang has finally gone and i am on the hunt for a BMW Z3M coupe.

I am finding it hard to find a good one though.

Hexagon BMW have bought up all the cars and are charging way to much for them. (Really silly money)

Autotrader has so few cars on it and i really want one with a warranty because of the Vanos problems. (searching under Z3M Coupe and Z3)

Has anyone seen one at their local dealership or know someone who wants to sell one.

Many thanks!

That would be perfect as my family live down in that area.

Thank you very much!

Thanks for that, once again i really appreciate the effort.

However it has a few too many miles on the clock for my liking.

I can stretch to a bit more money than that.

Thanks Andrew,

I am actually a frequent visitor there, i think i might have run out of options.

I either have to pay through the nose and buy from Hexagon or wait and try to find the gem that is out there somewhere.

It's worth searching Autotrader for e.g. Z3 over £20k rather than Z3M Coupe as you get a few wrongly described ones.

I have done that on numerous ocasions, that brings up all of Hexagon's overpriced Coupes.

I have exausted all the normal routes. I really was hopeing someone on here knew someone or had a dealer near by that had one that was not on the web.

It is the first time in 9 years that i have not had a car and it all feels a bit weird.

I saw a BMW 1-series driving alongside the train this morning. Side profile quite reminded me of the MCoupe, the "ready to spring" look. 2-door version, drop the M3 running gear in, and BMW will have quite a car on their hands...


[Awaits PMs from scoobynetters enquiring about my eyesight...]


Edit - ooh, I'm not the only one:



and

"The big sellers in the range, however, are likely to be the sedan and hatchback, with the latter already looking seriously hot. If the computer generated images (pictured above right) turn out to bear even a slight resemblance to the finished 1-series hatch, it'll make for one very sexy motor. There's almost a bit of the Z3-based M Coupe in the bold styling cues..."

Totally agree. It's even struck me that the 1 series must have been a development of the Mcoupe. Apparently they did want to make it a 4 seater but ran out of development time....

M Coupes' rule.

Search autotrader on Z3, keyword Coupe.

Or try classifieds on http://www.pistonheads.com

2 seater. 100% not even a bench seat.

Behind drivers head is a metal mesh thing.

I used to have an Mcoupe for six months, really enjoyed it.

Highly reccommend the AC Schnitzer suspension and shortshift options!
