[QUOTE="L8APEX, post: 16574872, member: 51947"] I had a '00 ///M Roadster (E36/7) S52 3.2 i6. If it wasn't for the subframe issues I would of held onto it. Once you overhaul the cooling system it was really reliable. The problem was the Z3 was basically a mix of E36 and E30 and not designed for the power of the S52 S54 (S50 outside US) and it would rip the rear diff from the subframe spot weld by spot weld. I'm actually looking at getting an E89 Z4 35i ///M sport or Sd35is to replace my Escape that was totaled. Only thing beside electrical gremlins (in the convertible top and the relay for the pump) is the blow off valves on the N54's turbos like to get loose over time/rattle. The Sd30 (N52) is essentially an N54 without turbos. [/QUOTE]
