Silverstone ZZZ action

[ZZZEMMCO]

At this weekends Silverstone 24hr race, a Z4 Coupe is entered with Dieter Quester down as one of the 4 drivers. Looks a little like the photo,s of the Motorsport dept ZMcoupe being built for the Nurburgring race series.

In a supporting race for the Dutch super saloon series, 2 Z3MCoupe,s with V.8s are due to run.

Fridays practice and 2 races for the Dutch ZZZ,s has Free entry.

The Z3 Coupe V8 is one of our cars 8)

Don't expect too much though, the driver isn't one of the best :evil: and he has a lot of difficulties of keeping the 400 BHP on the wheels in check :roll:

Looks awesome 8)

Would this be the same V8 that is about to appear in the new M3?

[ChrisXL]

This is the "old" M5 engine...


This might be my next mod 8)

WOW!

how much for the bonnet opener?

[coupe fan]

The V8 is lighter than the M Coupe 3246cc engine and more powerful.
So how difficult was it to fit into the engine compartment?

I am wondering just how difficult it would be to squeeze one into a non-racing car
- what parts (AC pump etc) did you have to ditch?

this is a serious consideration for me in the future, I have had some prices for the engine, loom, ecu and it is not too bad!

[coupe fan]

Lee,
I can't keep up with your mods

Pretty soon it will start changing shape aswell and
you'll have to rename it a LeeMCoupe or something.

I remember you saying to me you change your car as often as your underpants. But you've stuck with the MC for some time now 8) 8) . If you stick the M5 lump in it I'll buy it from you when you're done with it. Promise. 8)
