Hello all

My woman is buying a Z3 this summer and we are looking at the 240HP M or the 3.0 Z3. We cant afford the 315 M so this is not an option.
Besides looks are there any real differences we would notice between them? Huge differences in power, fuel economy, etc? We plan on the sport package/seats in the 3.0.
Also, will the dual exhaust panel from an M fit on a 3.0, or is there one made? Single exhaust doesnt look right to me.

Thanks

Eric

Since the HP/tq is so close between the Z3 3.0 and the early M, the big differences are the interior style, exterior style, and the suspension. The M suspension will be much stiffer.

My wife fell in love with a '01 Z3 3.0 Coupe, so we bought it. I like the car a lot as well, but would have really preferred the M Coupe due to stiffer suspension.
