The M3 has both the nice body and pretty face.

the Z4 rides better... if u what i mean

I see that car and wonder what is rotting due to age--and that is really low mileage, almost too low. I guess if it sat in climate control, fine--but fluids still need to circulate and need replacing, rubber rots, plastic gets hard, electronics and motors need to actuate and cycle. $100k is big ask there. I wonder if there is a market for shell cars with wheels, and no chassis parts, so people can just look at them in a garage.

Depends on how they're stored and used. I've only put maybe 3000 miles on my e93m3 over the last 6 years, it spends a few weeks at a time under a cover in the garage on a trickle charger. Still has the original battery, and everything works perfectly just like it should. I change the fluids by time, not by miles, obviously. So the low miles don't scare me too much as long as it was used consistently.

Either way, back to that car, yeah, $100k is too much. I think $45-50k is the max I would pay for something like that. Sure, it's a rare color, but it's not a $50k premium rare car.

The Z4M Coupe is a smaller car but still feels heavy. Maybe you prefer the ride because you are almost sitting on rear axle so when rear break traction you feel like DK!

I had a well track prepared Z4MC in the past and they aren’t faster than E46 M3. It’s easier to remove weight in the E46 M3 vs E86. Also, easier to get a tune for MSS54HP vs MSS70. My ESS Vt1445 was getting into limp mode on track during cold days…

Z4M Coupe are maybe more unique with 1815 made in NA but E46 M3 looks better IMO.

Driving position/looking in rear view mirror sucks in Z4M Coupe if you are tall guy. It was nice once I installed Recaro PP without sliders. But installing them…

Also you don’t want the NAV screen that flip every time you start the car… I traded my dash sith another guy to get rid off it!

The M roadster and coupe are both faster than the e46 around a track stock. Look at the Nurburgring times. Too many variables to compare modified cars.

More importantly, it's hard to believe they aren't more fun too. As said, sitting on the rear axle, stiffer chassis, faster steering, more oversteer, lighter weight. Especially the roadster, which is as a true sports car should be. I'd have one if not for the utility and cross-country ability of the M3.

I was talking about the way it handles. And I disagree about the driving position. The Z4M is much better

Guys from other rooms track and report a lot of shill bidding on BaT. I'll try to grab a screen shot of the discussion. That TiAG over Black for $55k is suspicious as H. E. Double hockey sticks to me.

maw

EDIT... in this case "Brian" was the shill. No one thinks he will close on the car for that price (a JDM '94 400E AMG). The car will show up on BaT again showing a recent "sale" at $75k.

Here we go again with the shill bidding, not that it ever ended…

I’m not making this up…. Yes that’s a TiAG over Black SMG Vert for over $44k, with 31k miles on the clock.

Pretty sweet. But tripped me up on the photo shoot in a cemetery. Not sure if that's a thing or not. You realize it's a cemetery when you watch the videos.

The sun tends not to shine much, I suppose.

I love them too, BTW, and the sun shines damned near every day. But not $44k for a TiAG over black. Not even when I bought in 2010. $25k was my max number for TiAG over Imola with under 60k miles.

I think my next car will be a vert. I’d like one in the stable.

I think with the Brits they get the sun so rarely that they like to maximize it.

Think of it as a REALLY nice go kart for 4 people.

You should get an E85 Z4M. Comes with the S6-37 preinstalled!
