It doesn't look too bad to me, especially compared to the previous gen.

I almost test drove one once, but as soon as I saw that dash I noped the fuck out of there. It looks like one of those old cars where they mirrored the dash to save costs when making them RHD, except as far as I know they never made the Mustang RHD.

iirc its a mustang design element on the original to have a symmetrical dashboard like that

i actually prefer the 90s one, can't stand chrome bezels

yes the shifter/cigarette lighter/cloth seats will bother me and the clock/radio's gotta go

i know the classic corvette had the symmetrical design

Some bodyshop deserves a smack, repainted the back bumper and did it all the lower darker grey colour instead of 2 tone lol

I miss mine... had 94 and 95 LS400's at various points... these models actually aren't all that luxurious (not that many options) but they are absolute bank vaults. The owner is mistaken about the power levels though... 90-93 were 250hp 94-97 were all 260hp... which I would not call a dramatic improvement hahaha... I think they are referring to the 290hp which was on the 98-00 models.

Too good to be true?

Seems a little low given the car/mileage. These held value decently.

Could have a million little issues though

Could also just need the money in hand

Apparently it was too good to be true as 40 minutes after you posted it here it was taken down.

What was it?

$2900 3G Acura TL

98 Z3M - $15.7k

^ Is anyone familiar with the Z3M? The mileage seems quite high for an M car, and with 240 HP, I'm guessing it's the North American E36 engine? $15k seems quite cheap for an M car though. Do these have the rod baring issues of some of the later M cars? Maybe with it being a detuned M engine, it will be a bit more reliable.

Yes to NA E36 engine, not sure about rod bearings (I think no), VANOS is gonna be an issue like the 46, as well as subframe.

I'm sure Westopher or The Producer have more to chime in about

I was looking into these a few years ago.

Yes, for sure check the subframe.

The engine is robust and while it does have Vanos I don't think the S52 had quite the same problem the S54 did. I would think the roof, bushings, engine mounts etc. are more likely to be what you'll be fixing at this age.

These feel way faster than they are. Lots of fun on the road, won't be super quick at the track (take the E36 M3 for that).

been watching that car - price is finally dropping into a more reasonable range (he's wanted closed to 20k for over a year - clearly too high)

the NA market S52 motor is incredibly stout. I wouldn't worry about the motor. Single vanos is pretty easy to DIY. First thing all new BMW owners should do w cars of this vintage is change the complete cooling system.

Specific to the Z3M there is a "rear subframe" issue. It's a bit different than the e46 cars. The rear diff has a mounting tab that is riveted to the trunk floor like an E30. This diff "ear" will start to tear apart from the trunk floor. This is relatively easy to look for on inspection (you can see the rivets from inside the car) if they have blossomed or mushroomed than it has begun. Easy fix for one of the pro shops but you're going to spend 3-4k on it.

I like buyers that spend the money on supersports. Falls under the "buy the seller" category.

Rest of it it just wear and tear. I love these cars - they feel like a classier Miata. You're sitting over the rear wheels and they just rotate around you. Plenty of power in stock form for mobbing around town, and incredibly boost friendly if that's something you are interested in.

Go drive it! I'll bet the seller is motivated to let you take a spin in it.

would rather have clown shoe in another colour but it’d be a good buy to me at 13k

Agreed, but you can have 2.5x of these for one clown shoe... or like 4x of these for an S54 clown shoe... PS the clown shoe is super overhyped - a Z4M coupe is all the good things, far less of the crummy things, and same or less money :)

-Mark

z4m Coupe hardly ever comes up, probably a good thing because I don’t need another 2 seater

Z3m is cool but I’d 100% hold out for an s54 car

Someone buy this before I do.
