I for one find the design to be appealing, although I understand it\u2019s not for everyone. UK-based tuning company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kwg99BtpiAM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Evolve Automotive<\/em><\/a> also has a soft spot for the unconventionally shaped M car. They owned it some 13 years ago and decided to snatch one again last year.<\/p>\n<p>A new video showcases their oddball M as it gets an H&amp;R coilover set to bring the car closer to the road. It already had a combination of H&amp;R and Bilstein coilovers, but Evolve decided to go all H&amp;R for a lowered stance. The new setup is paired with BBS LM wheels measuring 18 inches on both axles and wrapped in Michelin tires.<\/p>\n<p>The Pilot Sport 4 rubber measures 265\/35 ZR18 at the back and 225\/35 ZR18 for the front alloys. Evolve mentions aftermarket companies haven\u2019t given that much attention to the Z3 M Coupe in terms of suspension tweaks. Consequently, there aren\u2019t many options to choose from if you own one of the 6,791 cars built by BMW.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-160732\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/bmw-z3-m-coupe-750x563.jpg\" alt=\"bmw z3 m coupe 750x563\" width=\"750\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/bmw-z3-m-coupe-750x563.jpg 750w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/bmw-z3-m-coupe-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/bmw-z3-m-coupe.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" title=\"image of bmw z3 m coupe 750x563\"\/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-160732\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20750%20563%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/bmw-z3-m-coupe-750x563.jpg\" alt=\"bmw z3 m coupe 750x563\" width=\"750\" height=\"563\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/bmw-z3-m-coupe-750x563.jpg 750w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/bmw-z3-m-coupe-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/bmw-z3-m-coupe.jpg 1600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" title=\"image of bmw z3 m coupe 750x563\"\/><\/p>\n<h3>The Z3 M Coupe Will Receive Additional Upgrades<\/h3>\n<p>Among the smallest Ms, at 4,025 mm (158.4 in) long, the fun-size Z3 M Coupe looks great with the new hardware. Evolve\u2019s car is one of the last ones built, with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/02\/02\/abandoned-bmw-m3-e46-repaired-road-again\/\">M3 E46\u2019s<\/a> S54 rather than the M3 E36\u2019s S50. Their car is quite rare considering BMW only made 1,112 units of the beefier variant.<\/p>\n<p>Following the upgrades, handling has been sharpened up and the suspension is a tad stiffer than before without being uncomfortable. This Z3 M Coupe is still a work-in-progress car since further modifications will follow. One of the changes will be a new steering rack since the current setup requires quite a lot of effort from the driver.<\/p>\n<p>Evolve\u2019s Z3 M Coupe is coming along quite nicely and we\u2019ll be keeping an eye on their petite M car.<\/p>\n<p>[Source: Evolve Automotive \/ YouTube]<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Z3M Coupe Stance Upgrade - BBS LM + H&amp;R Coilovers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kwg99BtpiAM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[embedded content] ADVERTISEMENT Few BMWs can match the quirkiness of the Z3 M Coupe, but that\u2019s part of the clown shoe\u2019s charm.
