M Roadster Questions

[jpquinn]

Is it true that the Z3 and M roadsters never had Zeon lights available? As well as it a true statement that there was no 6 speed gear box? Is there a computer available, like the one that tells you fuel consumption, distance, etc... I could live w/o it, just one less electronic component to fail, and doesn't help the performance of the car.

I learned that only the '01 model M Roadster has/had a larger more powerful eninge, perhaps an optional eninge. Is this a true statement, and if so, whats hte engine size and HP of that larger engine engine/option?

I test drove a '99 M Roadster, 30K miles, today and was quite impressed, then I test drove an '00 M Roadster with 30K miles and was really even more impressed with that one. THe '99 had a little more wear on the interior than I cared for. I noticed that, even thoguh the instumentation is a little sparce, a true roadster, there were a few items in the console that the '99 had blanking caps over that the '00 had. What are some of the options on that car, or should I say, the most common and desirable options. I would think that it's nota big selection. The power that these cars have struck me as scary fast at first, a real neck snapper. I have been bitten.

Also, I've noticed that the '00 had a electric compressor in the trunk, the '99 didn't, is this standard, and the '99's was missing?

What is the most common and best exhaust system that people liek to upgrade it to? As this seems to be a standard thing to do w/ and M Roadster.

What are the other most common upgrades, like chips, air cleaner, mass air flow, etc.... that people also like to do to the, say, '00 M Roadster? Waht are the name brands of those components, and the raneg of price tag one could expect to pay? Also, what kind of realistic HP/Torge can one expect to wrench out of one of these 3.2L engines?

Thanks, Jay

They have 315hp engines standard and never had Xenon lights avalible. The Z4 does though. THe Z4 has a 3.0L engine. I suggest if u want more info try posting in the M section not the Z3 section
