Actually got a chance to drive the Z3 M - the Clown shoe car. very very awesome car, will put a smile on your face everytime you drive it, I believe there is a cult following for these cars now.

Ah yes, the naturally aspirated M54! Love that engine.

I never quite understood the point of any small capacity six cylinder, like 2.2l bmw engine, what was it?

It's mostly to do with smoothness, as well as low - mid range torque delivery. When you have the firing order spread out over 6 cylinders instead of 4 you can counterbalance them for a smoother engine.

Interesting, thanks, what about fuel consumption?

I have a 2001 330i. The fuel consumption very much depends on the driving you do.

When I was working in town, driving highway distance of 25km a day, it was decent. Could easily get 7L/100KM, as long as I drove outside of mad rush traffic. If you drive trafic light to traffic light then it easily jumps to 12L/100KM. These cars however love the open road, not so much town driving.

Well it’s been around for 30 years to be fair. Surely even you can give the French some props where it’s due?

sure, but still how long before you try to put 1st gear and the shiftier comes in your hand,
and you dont Gas half the Birds in your neighborhood with the exhaust fumes.

Agreed. I don’t see this particular car having any life left. Needs to be scrapped.

isnt it a Leaded car anyway? running on LRP I assume?

almost 40

 

[6spdmanual]

almost 40

Even more reason for the former eg2505 to give the French their props.

French car from the early 80s? My guess is yes on all three counts.
