    Cool. Enjoy.

    The 2.8 and 3.0 Coupes are even more rare than the M Coupes...

    I think numerically speaking, the Z3 3.0i Coupe is the rarest of all the Z3's, Roadsters, Coupes, M's, etc....

    Welcome! Looks great!

    In this area I have counted 4 or 5 silver 3.0 Coupes and only 1 silver M Coupe. Maybe it is a fluke??

    Looks good Rotor...Damn good...I have never seen the Coupe in that shade of blue...funny I was thinking about getting some M Roadstar rims from the M Coupe and sell my rims, but after looking at your car with your rims...I'm holding out for a min

    Next Year...No More Mr. Nice Guy!

    Before we totally hi-jack this thread, I'd like to say Vilkomen to cofferoaster too..nice coupe !

    some M Roadstar rims
    Don, I don't think the rear Roadstars will fit on the 2.8 coupe. The 2.8 rear wheel hub is really wide and the deep dish Roadstar would probably stick out beyond the fender. I have 20mm spacers and bolts on my rear wheels that bring them out flush with the w/wheel. (Got them with my 16" winter tire set for the M coupe)

    Welcome to the club!

    rotorhed, is your coupe Montreal Blue? It looks like it could be, but is slightly different. The color changes in different lighting, on my car anyway. Your coupe is quite an unusual color in any case.

    is your coupe Montreal
    stjobs, Coupe is Montreal Blue (early 9/98 wholesale date). I took the picture at dusk and the flash went off which throws too much contrast in the pix.

    Thanks for the info! Still, both are damn rare at around only 1000 made... Ferrari makes more 360's a year than that, if I recall correctly...

    DAAMN.. I just double-checked the sales numbers and my 2.8 Coupe had a production date of 9/98 which means it was one of the first FOUR to be built. (shows in the paint...he he)
    It gets to make the trip back to HC this year instead of the M.
