Hi, I normally hang around the Porsche forum but they'd be no use for this enquiry.

I've just bought a 2002 Z3 M Coupe with the later engine (325bhp, from E46 M3) and DSC. I can't find any others advertised for sale so I'm just trying to find the correct model code for my sales advert - is it an S52? If not, what is it please?

Thread hijack - Marcus (or another owner) is there any change you could do me a favour and measure the boot space for me? What would be the dimensions of biggest box that would fit?

The E46 M3 s54 engine produces 343. Not quite the same!! If I remember correctly the rev limit is lower to.
Still enjoy the beast.. Post up some pics!!!!

I did think that after writing it. I meant the biggest rectangular cuboid that would fit in the boot.

Yeah, still S54 engine but only 325bhp (due to lower rev limit and exhausts i beleive)

Thanks...I was about to say that as expected means I can scrub one from the purchase list for now, but I gather you can get a tow bar. Hmmm...
