it's a freaking go kart. What more do you want

Yeah, it looks a bit hatch-y with it's big round butt and maybe even a bit off kilter with it's long nose, but there is still something attractive about it.

The added ridgity of having a proper body is a big help.

How well they have aged when sompared to thier roadster counterparts? i dunno, but i don't see them in quite as often as i see the roadsters in.

Bare Minimum Welds I'm afraid

Powerful, but looks like a clown shoe, and reports of the chassis breaking apart don't necessarily make it "cool" for me.

I never liked it but seeing how much fun you can have with it as seen on one of JC's vids and it being a bit rare makes it cool for me 8)

I totally agree! Very unique styling and supposedly fun handling. If I ever found one of these once I can afford one I'd probably buy 8)

Are you kidding? This looks about as attractive as an old shoe. Horrible! Uncool!

Very, very cool, those of you who say it has ugly styling, I say it has unique styling!

I don't care much for the Z3 roadster, but with a roof on its a whole nother car. In M-coupe form its completely awesome! I've seen a couple in person, and they really do look & sound cool with fat tires and four exhaust pipes. I'll take mine in black please. 8)

This isn't even a coupe. It's a Z3 in hot-hatch form. It just looks wrong.
