      Hello all,

      This is my car if anyone has any questions - doesn't necessarily have to be people who want to buy, I'm happy just to talk shop about it :)

        Just been made aware of this today - cannot believe I haven't spotted it (totally unintentional!)

        The correct plate is RIG 5610. New front plate on order (and a full size rear plate supplied with the car).

            No fixed number in my head. I know what it stands me at and we are a way off yet on the auction. How much do you guys think its worth out of curiosity?

              If it had been painted Estoril Blue & had a S50 engine £26,000.

              As it is I think £15,000 is a good bid.

              Just my opinion but from my 25 years in the trade anything like the M coupe needs to be original.

                I agree with the point about originality. However even if I had reverted to an S50 it wouldn't be numbers matching and Estoril would still be a colour change. Surely the superior engine and arguably one of the best/rarest colours gives it an edge?
                Its certainly been a fun project for me anyway. It was almost an S62 conversion too at one point....

                  Matching numbers???
                  I think you've been watching too much TV.
                  When was the last time someone bought a car & checked the engine number.
                  I thought the original colour was Estoril, however if it was returned to factory colour & engine 99% of potential buyers wouldn't know. The other 1% has been looking for one for years & will never fine an example good enough, unless Dave sells his.

                    For a car like this and considering the prices that some are now commanding, I wouldn't rule it out. With certain older/rarer/high value cars I would always cross-check the numbers if it's possible without getting it up on a lift/taking parts off.

                      But yes if I were in the market to buy a Z3M or similar and it wasn't declared as having an engine change I'd probably be checking engine numbers amongst everything else - especially if I was buying an average priced (30k+) example
