BMW M Z3 s65 EVO with the M3 e9x V8 & H6-speed manual 445 hp, a one off special, built on a stainless basis, project duration including purchasing parts from the end of 2015 to the end of 2019.
Everything officially included in the documents of the Z3 M3 (license plate/ TUV/ EU) via strict individual inspection at RDW Lelystad due to the major changes.
Color: Oxford green 2, leather interior, sports bucket seats, bucket seats with removable seat parts to sit even deeper if desired.
The engine comes from a 2009 M3 e92, with only 85, 000 km at the time, the gearbox comes from a 2010 e92 M3 with only 35, 000 km.
To be sure, I had new, better crankshaft bearings etc. installed in the S65 M3 engine, which has now only run 4, 622 km, just like the many other fresh parts, some even less.
The padded luxurious (thicker) soft-top is in good condition.
With the RDW adjustments for the license plate (TUV/ EU), an individual inspection, etc., everything is officially correct in the documents, it is driven occasionally to keep everything healthy.
The M Z3 s65 comes with a valid valuation report for insurance, latest valuation report valid until well into 2025
The weight of 1345kg is weighed with everything on board, including a full tank of fuel, almost empty the Z3 s65 weighs 1285kg, which is 500kg less than the M3 V8 convertible and 300-400 kg lighter than the e9x M3, the M Z3 s65 is also much faster and light-footed with a nice balance.
The 0 to 100km/ h and/ or top speed on some car sites are from a standard tuned Z3M, my M Z3 s65 has 120hp+ more and is much faster to 100 and much faster than a standard tuned 250km/ h of course, this M Z3 s65 is unlimited, it cannot be changed on those sites in the standard input field with license plate number and adjustments, the standard OEM Z3 M info is then automatically added on some sites.
My M Z3 s65 is lighter than a standard Z3M (which I also had) and has better weight distribution and ow that sound! really a super V8 sound.
It's time for someone else to step in and enjoy, so that I can continue with the next project in the long term.

The S65 engine was introduced in the E92 M3 and was chosen as International Engine of the Year for the 3. 0 to 4. 0 L category in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012. The BMW S65 is a naturally aspirated V8 petrol engine which replaced the S54 straight-six engine and was produced from 2007–2013
The original Z3 odometer now reads around 142k and has been adjusted for these V8 inputs, the 'new' engine has only run 89, 622 all-in, including the now 4, 622km with the new crankshaft bearings, etc.
A thick folder with many invoices is also included, including 2 keys with built-in remote control, + 1 plastic key, most of the conversion work is shown in photos.
Afterwards, 2 wheel spacers of 12mm per side were placed on the rear axles, which look even better in the wheel arches, without rubbing, also posted here in a few photos.
Possible trade-in of a sporty classic (or replica of) possible, possibly with an additional payment from my side, for example:
- Wiesmann MF3 or MF4 GT
- Donkervoort D8 GT coupe of D8 GTO-RS GTO-40 GTO-JD70 GTO-Individual
- Morgan Aeromax, Aero Supersports coupe, Plus 6, Plus 8
- Superformance, Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe
- the Tomaso Pantera
- TVR Griffith 200 or 400
- TVR Tuscan V8
- AC Aceca
- Corvette C2 Grand Sport
Or another compact pre-1983 sporty classic, I only drive it a little, about 8 to 10 times a year, a total of about 800-980 km per year (shame on me)
the M Z3 s65 can be viewed by appointment here in Almelo NL, appointment via the WEB email to check whether it is a sincere and honest person.
This is a private sale, no return and no guarantee.
A great drivers car with the best sound, never used on track or sprint, we build it this way for looks and special feel.
A truly one off special, all documented and official for road use.
