I posted this thread on General gassing a while back;

I think its cool, but a merc based on a beemer, kinda ironic!

Like that "Something about Mary" Quite attractive, but very, very wrong.

Or why not with the cash try to get the Z3 to drive like an exciting sportscar?

to expensive?
or to difficult to strip down??
It is indeed a very strange car when you think about it, wonder what was in the guys head when he came up with this, I know its a fusion merc and bmw go work together

Serious...if they can make this...they also could make the wonderfull looking 300SL gullwing or even the 300SLR...grr

Have a look at the "GW" *ahem*

[GTRene]

good find...they copy really almost everything if you want the looks but don't have the cash for a real SL then this is a good thing?

British company called Proteus (best known for their racing Jag replicas) did offer a 300SLR replica some years back. Not cheap, but superb attention to detail. About the only thing that wasn't authentic was the engine because the original racers used a special slant engine, whereas the Proteus version made do with Merc's production straight six.

Anybody know how much that Z3 kit actually costs? I couldn't make out wtf the web site was saying?

[M Blur]

does pose an M Roadster as a donor - now that would be cool.. 3.2 in a new suit.

I remember a time when the Z3 itself was a target for replication - it was based on an MX-5.

I quite like the Micra based Fiat 500 on that Chinese site
