Unless your deadest on the looks of the Z3M coupe, I would highly, highly recommend you get a Z4M coupe instead. There's nothing about the Z3M coupe that is better in my opinion than the Z4M coupe besides perhaps the looks. Amazingly, the prices on the two models are pretty close to even. That just blows my mind because the Z4M is so much more car.

If you insist on getting the Z3M coupe, I wouldn't get a 01-02. They have the S54, and never had the bearing recall that the M3s did. I blew a motor in my 01 Z3M coupe with 44k miles. Those things are ticking time bombs unless they have had the bearings replaced. If you wind up getting an S54 Z3M Coupe, be sure to replace the bearings before you do anything else.
