Engine
BMW and its 6-cylinder powertrains are the stuff of legends. Be it a twisty B road or hitting an apex at full force, the high revving, well-engineered M-tuned 6-cylinder powertrain provides mechanical symphony through its engine tone and power. This 2000 BMW Z3 M is powered by a 3.2L inline-six powertrain and is old-school BMW power, no turbos, or artificially-created exhaust audio notes to make you feel good, but raw power and an unparalleled drive feel to make you want to drive more. The current owner reports a Dinan intake and a Dinan throttle box in place for better performance and a more aggressive yet natural song. Power is sent to the car's rear wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission, ensuring smiles on every gear change.
