Hi everyone,

I'm preparing for a future project, a BMW Z3 Motorsport.
I found very few images of this car on the net (only 4 photos), and I'm looking for a few more.

Here's a picture of the car:

Thanks in advance for your help!

Ask and you shall receive. This car was photographed at the Zentrum at the Greenville BMW plant/museum.

I took pics of that car to hopefully one day recreate it in scale. That's why most of the pics are detail shots, and not overall shots.

I purchased the Revell M-coupe kit, and that's as far as I got.

I live 4 miles from the Zentrum which Matt mentions.

If there's any additional photos you feel you need, I would be happy to stop by there and snap some photos.

4 miles? When did you move?

I assume the car is still there, but they do rotate the displays so there's no guarantee it's still there. The BMW M Coupe that I photographed there for my model (the last gen. 1 M Coupe) wasn't there the last time I visited the museum.

Moved over a year ago.

Last time I was at the Zentrum about 6 months ago, the M coupe was still there.

Thanks for your offer! I might disturb you if I need more details.
I'll keep you all updated when I start the WIP thread for this project!

Thanks again to everyone for the help! :)

Sorry to bump up this thread, but it's for a good cause.
I was going to attempt to mod the Revell Z3 coupe kit to this specific body kit. Work was started a few months ago, and was going slowly.

However I found today (on evil bay) that someone is producing a resin kit for slot cars, so I might as well give up.
Here's a link:
