Met a cool guy doing custom Z3s

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

So I was at the Scottsdale (Arizona) Cars and Coffee and met an awesome guy who does a custom kit for the Z3 that he calls the ZGT.

He takes a lot of the styling from the BMW Z8 and other models

I was going to help him make a documentary with installing the panels and possibly do a review or something fun. I just thought I'd share

Wow it does!

Looks like an answer to a question no one asked. The original Z3 is much prettier than his rendition of whatever that is supposed to be.

buddalun · 01-15-2017, 12:42 PM

Horrendous.

RABAUKE · 01-15-2017, 02:16 PM

I don't care for it....just my two cents but it's kind of ugly in my view.

euro* · 01-15-2017, 02:29 PM

i think it looks super ugly.

Check out that body work on the bumper and the lines of the trunk, i hope nobody is paying money for that crapmanship.

The nose of the car is way too long/big.

Efthreeoh · 01-15-2017, 03:01 PM

So the cars I see in it are:

Opal GT
BMW Z3 (duh)
Jag XKE
BMW Z1
C3 Corvette
Lambo Miura

Fundguy1 · 01-15-2017, 03:14 PM

Dont forget the toyota 2000gt

BEM-S4 · 01-15-2017, 07:03 PM

Yikes. At least he's not ruining m coupes - please no one give him that idea.

Eliminator 429 · 01-15-2017, 08:55 PM

Wow this is just awful!

ShocknAwe · 01-15-2017, 09:35 PM

Really not a fan at all.

ny325 · 01-15-2017, 10:03 PM

Uhhhh... looks confused.

oh no, you may just have!

some things are better left in the imagination. This car is proof of that.

It reminds me of that artist who asked a bunch of random people to draw bicycles and had some crazy renditions. In this case, it looks like you asked a bunch of kindergartners to draw a roadster.

I would like to see the documentary, I can not imagine what else this gentlemen is working on.

That is like saying Amy Schumer reminds you of Gigi Hadid.

josec70 · 01-16-2017, 12:04 AM

Not very appealing

Huz-Z · 01-16-2017, 11:31 AM

I may be one of the few guys who quite likes the styling of the E85 and E89 Z4 and the original Z3.

But this - I don't like at all. Looks like someone clumsily grafted an oversized Porsche nose and Corvette back end onto an older Miata and lost all the grace and style cues of the Z3. The big rectangular cutout in the middle of the car makes no sense and completely obstructs any flow to the car's lines. Two thumbs down.

Yup, that too.

Not a fan of the dimensions, doesn't fit.

Car needs to ride lower, and bigger wheels.....to at least help the current proportions.

Redesign plz
