M3 EVO Engine and (possibly SMG) into Z1
M3 EVO Engine and (possibly SMG) into Z1
Just bought an EVO SMG tonight.
Will remove the engine and possibly the SMG and put into the Z1.
It will be a slower conversion as the Heart ops are taking up all my time at present.
Note: it is a yellow donor car again! No damage, just want to use it for its engine.

M3 into Z1
Curious...
Do you delete the torque tube altogether?
Modify the shift mechanism and retain the old gearbox?
How tough is the oilpan issue?
Tried PM with you, but no response.
xyobgyn@aol.com if you could.

Z1 M3 conversion
May the force be with you for the conversion... I found changing my worn e21 engine hard enough!
Ambition without knowledge is like boat on dry land.
EVO engine out
Engine and gearbox out of the E36 in 5 hours, faster than the last time as I separated the box from under the car in order to remove the engine without having to remove the front of the E36

Hard part to follow
Won't be doing any more to the Z1 for two weeks now

Z1 Smg
Hi Piere, I dont think it would be too much trouble to put in the SMG, but I agree that the first generation boxes were not good, and prone to having problems.
I will probably end up doing what I did with the previous conversion. So far the clutch, gearbox and diff have been ok with 285 BPH, but this time it will be 321 BHP.
Not touching the car until May now working this weekend and next , so will post something after that.

Re: Z1 Smg
Trie it out I would say, I also drive M roadster (S50 earlier and S54 now). Lots off people change the diff from these cars from 3.15 to 3.91. Just to enjoy the fun, Z-roadster's are no top speed cars.senna wrote:Hi Piere, I dont think it would be too much trouble to put in the SMG, but I agree that the first generation boxes were not good, and prone to having problems.

I would only be carefull in the lower gears. You easily kill some drive parts with this amount of power and torque.
I will probably end up converting the car to a 325i and using it every day. Will be fun and I will not have to worry about it.BBZ149 wrote:Yeah Senna, what did the poor little Evo ever do to you? lol you could at least have used a right-off doner.

325i m3
Its cheaper that way , but a little bid more time consuming.
I think I will keep it registered as an M3 for insurance purposes as the running gear, seats, spoilers, wheels etc etc are M3.

Z1 with M3 Motor
Hello everybody,
I'm new frenchmember on this website and my question talk about "M3 Motor in BMW Z1".
First of all I would like to know if it could be able to give my car at "Tuner" ?? But I know they don’t work on the old models, because they're an automobile manufacturers. But it would be a dream to make some modifications by ALPINA, HARTGE, HAMANN, AC-Schnitzer, Kelleners...
So I asked to Kelleners last week because they made this conversion in 1995, but curently nobody don't want making this conversion.
But I think this conversion will be amazing, so could you help me please ???....
Looking forward to hearing from you
Best Regards

Z1 conversion M3 "with SMG gear box"
Hi everybody,
I'm looking for some informations to make this conversion !! who's making that !! who's this experience ????
First of all not knowing if it's quite easy or not !! I'm waiting for your help for this conversion. I learned the best choice was the 2.8L - 286 ch, because the size and weight are very similar. But also I think it will be a great idea to know if it's posible to make this conversion with the other "M3 motor version" with "SMG gear box" !!
It'll be amazing.....

Hi Bruno,
Nice car, I have seen it on the web before.
I will try and write a web page about the Engine transplant modifications, from making new mountings, to the electrics, as well as my Brakes/suspension/Diff mods.
Unfortunately I am a bit busy at present moving, but will try before the month is out.

M3 Motor
Hi Senna,
Thank for your help !! For my car thank you too, Yes it's a famous Z1, because the old owner made some very nice "Tuning" on my car !! Usually he just change the cockpit of many cars and he felt in love with "Z1" !!
So I hope you'll describe in your article, every modifications that we will need. Because I'd like to know everything about that !!
For exemple :
- Which "Version M3 Motor" we must choice ?
- Can we put into "Z1" the "SMG Gear box" ?
I don't know if you know "Kelleners" who's a good "German Tuners", they made this conversion in 1990 and it's quite hard !!
because we have to change the cooling system, braking and so on... and especialy it should be better to choice the first "Version M3 Motor" because it's not so heavy and it's better for the distribution of masses...
Bye... Bruno

Do you have a website for your car? Can you tell us more about it?Stunning picture, one of the nicest alternative colour combinations I have seen, Im sure alot of us would be very interested to know what "tuning" was done to your car, your modifications and some pictures of the Interior. I noticed you have 5 Stud Wheels, how did you complete this modification? Did you change the hubs from a 5 series? What colour was the car originally? The colour reminds me of the TVR Tuscan Chameleon, the one that changes colour as it roars past.
Its fantastic when owners from around the world, who adopt individual and different styles for this iconic car, join the forum and share their experiences, well done
Looking forward to hearing about your Pride and Joy.

My Z1 - "M3 Motor"
Hi,
I'm very happy that you like my car !! Thank you very much !!
But I can't explain to you all the modifications on my car right now, but I'm writting a document who discribe all of this inside and outside modifications. I've had a "Z1 original" few years ago. The car's design still is amazing even now but I think the inside is quite "old fashion", but for this one my "Inside Z1" have updated !!! So when I'd have finished writing this document, I'll put it on this web site. But now, I'd like to put into my car a "M3 Motor" with "SMG Gear box" if it's possible and after maybe I'd like to adapt a "Electric System Convertible" too !! All of this is quite hard and expensive too !! So I think it would be better to make a big meeting with all of the "Z1 Europaen Owners" !! So we could exchanged more informations and more easily !!
