Ohh yah thats right...missed the 1999 part
...and yes i am very passionate about it. I sat in my first one when i was 16 (10 years ago) at the javitz center auto show in NY, and loved it ever since. Thanks for the heads up on the sub-frame issues they have. I am doing more and more research every day and will be as knowledgeable as i can be about them before i buy one...

at any rate, i encourage you to get one, seeing as how you seem to be very passionate about wanting one. just be aware of the sub-frame issue - you WILL eventually have to address it if you get one.
it lacks an LSD though, and its suspension parts and geometry are not as beefy as the ///M's.
btw, how much of a PITA was it to retrofit the ///M bumpers to a non-M car? that must have been a nightmare considering the Z3M's are wider than the non-M Z3's.
