BMW Z3M Coupe | The Freak Show

[@jpic6098]

Owner of this particular Z3M Coupé, thanks Mark and Jack for doing the excellent video! As much as I enjoy this car I just don’t fit in it well, so watch for this car on Bring A Trailer in the next few weeks, just waiting for them to finish the listing.

[@ptg_st3v3oh62]

This could've been a good car for Cars and Bids #dougshill

[@jpic6098]

Collidiscope about 6 foot, if you are a thin or thinner build this car could fit a taller person.

[@macattack57]

@Collidiscope I'm 6' 2" and I definitely don't fit in the Z3M. I can "drive" it but I definitely don't fit comfortably. I would get a Z4M. I had one of those for a year and a half and it fit me really well.

[@LaxMerange]

@Collidiscope i own the z4m that they reviewed Earlier this year. I'm 6,2, 325lbs . I'm a big boy... and I fit length wise barely in the z4m, my knees just barely miss the dash , but I have a great amount of head room. its hard getting in and out, but again I'm 325lbs. it was shocking going from any car to the size of Z4m . but if you have driven other small cars , the z4 will feel normal. smaller than toyota 86, almost identical in size as the C7 Corvette, bigger than new supra.

[@LaxMerange]

J Pic , hit me up. if you are in area, let's meet up, I'm Z4m guy, I live 20 min from SavageGeese shop...

I love that this car has no damned computer screen. This is an interior that will remain timeless.

[@mauricemotors8207]

Chad Wilson My Nissan hardbody pickup had induction noise lol it’s throttle body looked like a carb with 4 intake passages lol

[@CockatooDude]

No it won't, this interior screams late 1990's with those black plastic buttons and gratuitous plastic chrome trim pieces on the dials.

[@Audidude]

CockatooDude it screams late 90s. Ah maybe because it’s a car from the late 90s? Hilarious how people bag cars for having characteristics that are period correct. That’s a huge part of their appeal - a modern interior in a Z3? LOL!

One thing that modern cars have lacked for years is full instrumentation. I personally like old school aesthetics of all the round dials.

[@tommynobaka]

I agree, its tactile. Pagani does this exceptionally well along with aftermarket support with exposed linkage short shifters (ex. K Tuner), vintage style gauges, clock dials, airplane switches and the like

The Z3M coupe is a quirky car It is indeed one of BMW’s best cars because it’s just an awesome car to drive

[@Audidude]

One of the last raw cars BMW made. That in itself makes it special. As is the Z4MC

[@fmcfad01]

This has to be the most understated review of an M Coupe I've ever come across given how the M Coupe has such a cult following, has appreciated in value, and become a collector car. You guys almost don't even smile while driving it. Then again, that could be because it's an S52 example ;). Seriously though, every other video about this car is glowing and shows what an emotional response driving this car provides its driver.

[@classiccarssp]

Totally agree! Is because of the S52 engine for sure.. the S50/54 is a different game!

[@emanon321]

While the Geese and company usually do an exemplary job on the cars featured, sometimes they truly "don't get it." This review is one of those times. Sort of dour and humorless, IMO. The S52 is a wonderful engine and with the Dinan bits even better. I've got one, so I "know." :). It gives up little to the S54 at relatively sane driving speeds on public roads. On a more positive note, Jack adds a lot to the act, and Mark's camera work is exemplary as always.

[@blauschuh]

not sure why this review says it's a 2002 model year... all 2001/2002 had the S54.

[@corythomas4427]

Pretty sure they also said "the engine from the E36 M3" which yes, had the S52. Being that this is a 2002, it should have the S54 from the E46 M3.

[@diurnalall]

I love my 2000 M Coupe! For me, it's the handling that's the star of the Clownshoe. Having driven an E46 M3 and supercharged E36 M3 (more powerful BMWs of the same vintage) along with 911s (993C2S and 996TT) and having also previously owned a 987 Cayman S (the latter having IMHO perfect handling characteristics), all I can say is that while the Coupe might not be as fast, and comparably has objective weaknesses in the handling department, it's precisely these qualities that make it interesting and fun to drive. It just doesn't feel like anything else. Stiffness isn't everything! And if you throw in coilovers and other suspension mods, the Coupe is basically as planted as the Cayman while retaining this weird "whip" handling quality that's hard to describe. Maybe it's body roll, maybe it's me about to be launched off the road, but it's intoxicating. I'm also 6'1" and have no real issues in the cabin - it can be a bit tight, but I like that feeling. I've driven it cross-country multiple times, it is a joy to spend time in. The Coupe is, undoubtedly, my forever car.

Glad they discuss the huge issue on these, which is the rear subframe failure. There's kits out there to fix it, but even the torque of the S52 was to much for the welds in the back of the car. BMW cut corners on reinforcement for the M models. People should look for this when shopping these.

Have a Z4MC now, and previously an E39 M5. That M5 is an astonishing car. Arguably the best sedan ever made. The Z4MC is totally different. Raw, unrefined in comparison, and far better connected. Totally different goals superbly met by both. Wish I still had the M5, but it was looking like an engine rebuild within the next couple of years. Replaced with a 911 996 Carrera 2 manual, which shares space with the Z4. Almost identical performance, totally different cars. My channel has videos of both.

Great video as always! This car is really unique and I've always loved it. They are quite rare and worth a lot now as well. If you guys are trying to do a few more older cars, have a look at maybe a 2007 or 2008 350z MT either a nismo (the engineering for these nismos was much different), or a roadster is also super fun in a manual for those two years. Cheers!

[@derJackistweg]

I drive one in Germany - actually a 3.0 with mostly M suspension parts - since 10 years and 90.000 km and I do not agree with several things: - I don´t know what this miata thing is in the US, but this is just something different in most ways. - seating position: It is NOT very much possibilities! NO steering adjustment. Seat rear only very limited. - It is not a short coming we will fit this engine product! You can expect that BMW had in its mind always an M version since E30 generation. - cheap development: M is always a "cheap" Version - IF you want to call it like this. Better engine and better suspension - that is what M is about (+some interior stuff) - yes it is soft and has a lot of travel - like ALL 90ies developed cars. - long gears:? I am not aware of a different gearbox for the US. Mine is: 55 km/h in 1. @6700RUM, 100km/h in 2 @ 6700 RPM and 244 km/h in 5. @ 6700 RPM, all tested with GPS 3500 RPM is 70 mph/120 km/h - I would say this is very high geared! -BUT is has character, beginning from the design to the way you sit in this car with extremely limited space in the front! - Your hand falls automatically on the gear stick - which is excellent! Never had anything close incl modern cars and 2019 Miata Coupe or 2008 JCW Mini that I had (awful gearbox) - Engine sounds great w/o exhaust terror like my 2008 JCW Mini e.g. - it turns great with a more sporty suspension - seating just in front of the rear tires is fun It is NOT all great an it revs like crazy! what you can see in mph. But the punch you get is just good for its league. My direct comparison to my 2008 JCW: 210 HP/ 1180 kg vs 231 HP/ 1350 - I "feel" waaaay more accelerated and thrilled by my Z3QP that the JCW - though they are probably even fast. Especially on Autobahn between 120 km/h and 200 km/h the Z3 feels faster. 70 to 130 mph. It is about the connection to the street. btw: I fitted an tent, a sleeping bag, cooker, cooling box, chair inside to a trip inkl. Subwoofer - all below the window area.

This car came out when I was in high school and a friend of mine got one as a birthday present (I know, right?). Anyway I think it looks bad ass but I own a Volvo 1800ES shooting brake, so you know where my tastes lie. Dinan, based in Mountain View California is the best after-market parts manufacturer for BMW in North America. In fact, adding a Dinan tune is THE ONLY after market part that does not void the factory warranty of a BMW. Its not a surprise that the exhaust looks good after 20 years. Their part are better than factory parts.

Well i do like longer gearing ratios, as long as first gear is fully usable on public roads. With such kind of engines, 30 mph should be reached at about 6000 rpm in first gear and everythin above is an engine given bonus of speed. As for daily driving "normal" gearing ratios (~1000 - 1500 rpm every 5 mph) are far superior and you can still utilise the whole rpm band, if you downshift to at least first gear.

[@larrysmith6797]

All of Mark's videos are freak shows.

[@CU08]

So, basically BMW has had VANOS, throttle body and rod bearing issues for almost 20yrs and still refuse to rectify it. This is the type of BS that keeps me from wanting to pick one up used. They should simply come out and say they purposely build these cars to fail with higher mileage. Incredible driving machines, and I keep slipping into wanting an M car used, but the fact you consistently hear problems across the board that cause catastrophic failures, and seem to be intended to fail, is what keeps me away.

[@gabspopo2300]

Vanos problems got solved. E36 S50B32s need 100 000 km vanos rebuilds. M3 E46s require them less frequently, and E92s not at all since the system is alot more simple. I've never heard of throttle body issues on E36 M3s S50 engines. The 6 itbs work perfectly well. As for rod bearrings, it's not an issue that can be solved. It is inherant to the engine's designs. Having long stroke engine perform as much as S50B32s, S54B32s and S65/S85s do leads to very heavy loads on the bearings naturally. And for some design reason they can't make the bearings larger so the issue continues. Lastly, the Eurospec S50B32, which I have, and have had, does not really suffer from rod bearing issues. It suffers more from idiot issues. I sold last year my M3 3.2 sedan which had over 200 000 miles. I had done the bearings at around that mileage and they were in very good shape. However, the car I bought was first hand, and the old man who sold it to me, and who'd used it everyday, did an oil change every 8000 miles or so, every year and some times twice a year. He waited untill the oil was at 100°C to really push it on. People expect from BMW M engines the same kind of reliability as basic BMW engines, with the same maintenance. The truth is you can't have both. Having an N/A engines which puts out 100hp/Liter will inevitably oblige some thorough maintenance. The only criticism I have to make towards BMW is letting people believe that 15 ou 20 000 miles intervals in oil change, is a good idea, when in reality the engines need 4 to 6000 miles oil changes max.

[@BrakRulesAll]

Oh please. Don't perpetuate this crap. Yes, there are some vanos issues, but not major. Throttle bodies? No. Not on this car, not on any S54. The Z4M has proven to be a VERY stout car overall. Rod bearings? Yeah, eventually, though many have gone well over 100k miles without touching them. The paranoia over this stuff has been amplified on the interwebs by people who don't even own these cars.

Is it just me or is the hood shot at 11:16 totally not the Z3. That looks like a Porsche front with the 2 bulging headlights lol

[@johnaitken7430]

I test drove one back then and hated pedal position ..but loved it otw..

[@Guy-mx4fb]

I'm glad you recognize that it is ugly to some, i love it, but everyone i know thinks it's ugly

[@lawszepie]

oh boy I cant wait for that Viper review

[@bmw3-er]

I really want one.

[@creakid]

I still went ahead to sacrifice the body structure & collected a 2002 Roadster 3.0 w/ OEM hardtop in order to widen the rear (for passing) visibility: 10:08 Btw, is M's LSD better (or more predictable, etc.) than 3.0's Torsen?

First car was a 96 4 cylinder Z3. It was slow as shit, but i miss it.

[@_kunkle]

out of all of these, why haven't they done the E46 M3??!!

[@Rio356]

Those hood shots are from the 997.

[@edobec2]

Please review Mazda RX8 next. Is it really that unreliable?

[@moloono1]

I see a gen 4 viper in the background during final thoughts.

[@jh1328]

Welp - prepare for the prices on these to go up now because of this video.

[@Ruggedjellyfishing]

I want this car so badly

[@robosullivan704]

I had a95 z28 in the same color and loved it at the time but I don't now.. It's word how certain thing change

[@JohnMarcar]

Nice vid... although just one 'negative' comment... maybe crop out the Porsche bonnet and wings for the forward facing rolling shots in the future. It's okay to pretend... just don't make it too obvious ;-)

[@blauschuh]

Love my 2001... wife asks me to sell the damn thing quite often

[@jeppejensen5612]

This thing reminds me so much of the Ferrari gtc4 lucco

[@RealBearFace]

I see a couple of these here in NJ and I always kind of want one

[@DDd-hr6mz]

I wanted this car when it was time to buy a new one. I just couldn't find one with the price and condition I needed. New, no one wanted one. Now, they're bad ass.

[@carleynorthcoast1915]

what is the point of a small car if it weighs as much as a bigger car?

[@muller08049]

I love these cars! Love the body style!
