I love the look of the coupe but for me the weakest part of the design is the rear hatch,the car has curves everywhere but the squareness of the hatch could of done with a little more work.and I need a little aero help to keep it on the road.So I’ve got this beauty a hamann wing just needs paint. @Rha would be proud;)

Should look good Hugh when fitted. Know waht you mean about the looks of the tailgate, and quite like the look of the top roof spoiler.
Do they give any figures of the down force created though ;) Front splitter might be good too, unless theres one already fitted.

I have the ACS "flippers" on mine which obviously balance the roof spoiler! I'm sure the dynamics would be ruined without balancing front & rear!:whistle:

Nerd fact alert :pompus:
^these are aftermarket items headlamp units

the blue one has converted original lights to take what looks OEM e46 xenon dipped beams.

There was a guy on bimmerforums in the US that was doing them when I last looked many years back.
You can see the main beam lens and indicator are the original items, just the dipped beam has been changed (so original light unit modified).
Quite neat and probably only noticed by Z3 ‘beards’!

Should I be little bit concerned about how many random things I recall about Z3=))

Haha good spot - yes they are converted OEM headlamps using the Bimmerforums kit.
I won't hijack this thread from Miller1098, though like him I frequent the Z3mCoupe forum - I have a journal on there if you want to know a bit more about my car... (warning it's 11 pages long and growing - it's going in the ZedShed soon too!)
