Snooze Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 A friend of mine is picking up his new car this evening. It's a BMW Z3 M-Coupe and I was wondering how my TT would stack up against it. Now the power levels are similar, but the 3.2 N/A M-Coupe I guess will have a lot more torque at the bottom end. It's also a slightly lower kerb weight AND has more central weighting, so he's probably going to corner quicker too. Has my soop got any advantages at all ? (apart from the obvious: working indicators, not being a BMW and not looking butt-ugly, of course ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 i like the z3:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd_t Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 the M-Coupe is cool. and they are quick. but dont think you would have a problem with your TT. there was another thread about a month ago on the M-Coupe if you do a search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 the m coupe was the fastest M you could buy if my memory serves me before the new m6, and did it not have a mid 4 second to 60 time, i think possible to 60 the coupe would win but after that who knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Fairly simiar performance to a standard Supra, they're very good handling cars. I would have imagined it would have less torque without turbos and would generate the power through more revs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 There's a Z4 M-coupe on the cards now as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 0-60 under 4.5 and 0-100 in 11.6, you'll need to be bpu just to stay with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 The new one right? The old one wasnt that quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 The Z3 M-coupe is a car that I've had a 'do' with when my UK-tt was completely stock. On a rolling start both cars matched each other completely all the way upto about 110LPH. Don't know what the result would be if it was a standing start mind you.

Guest dee_rz Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 there is only one m3 coupe that's the roadster, fooking quick, one wasted me but i was in my civic type r, which i had the nos can in when i raced the thing (^^ not a joke had a ctr with 100 progressive shot of nitrous 13.6 @106 at pod spent 7k on mod in one year on the damn thing) supra is way faster then my ctr even on low boost, and ctr was quick think the m3 roadster would give you a damn good race, as someone else said 0-100 in 11.6 stock supra is 0-100 in 11.8 good bpu should have the kill, stock supra tight race to 110ish and after when the weight doesn't matter the supra will win is my guess upto some naughty leepons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Is this BMW the two seater jobbie with the almost vertical rear? If so, I came up behind one of these last night, so fast it couldn't get out of the way quick enough. Fair do's though, he had a play at catching up but we both got owned later on by an Escort estate! Mind you, it was cheating by overtaking in any lane it felt like including the hard shoulder, flashing other drivers and generally being driven in a reckless manner.
