The ebay thread
Re: The ebay thread
Re: The ebay thread
Pretty sure I could live with the colour if it genuinely has that much raw grunt.
Re: The ebay thread
It's the colour that makes it!
Beany, I think that spec is for the current B3, not the e46. I think it's got around 300bhp, and that there was a Z4 version, though I haven't found any info I fully trust yet. I'm wondering if Alpina do something that'll suit Mr Newt.

Re: The ebay thread
The 3.3 is around 280bhp, the facelift 3.4 (B3S) is 304bhp. All the Z4s had the 3.4 engine.nuttinnew wrote: ↑Wed Jun 16, 2021 8:47 pm It's the colour that makes it!

That said, 280bhp in an E46 is still going to be entertainingly quick at worst, but it does make that colour less forgivable....
Re: The ebay thread
The colour is awesome. Mine was very boring in black on black.

Aye, but how do you value such a thing?GG. wrote: ↑Wed Jun 16, 2021 10:03 pm40 grand. No please stop - my sides hurt.nuttinnew wrote: ↑Wed Jun 16, 2021 8:50 pm V8 na, rwd, rare, v v v low mileage; https://www.hursleyhillgarage.co.uk/use ... n/14579752
Re: The ebay thread
Well...this one with still very low miles sold for 7 grand https://www.historics.co.uk/buying/auct ... -46-litre/. Maybe you could ask double for one with delivery miles. Still leaves its true value 25k shy of what they're asking!

(if six years ago). Slightly o/t, why do so many lpg conversions have the filler hacked into a rear quarter?

Re: The ebay thread
I have “always” been aware of of the ZT260, but I don’t think I ever knew there was a softer V8 version of the 75.
It has the same issue though - with 252bhp from 4.6litres it is about 80bhp shy of where it needs to be in order to ignite any sort of desire….

Re: The ebay thread
And that's why supercharger kits are a thing
Re: The ebay thread
I always found the Rover version more interesting tbh. The shiteness of that Ford V8 wasn't so much of a disappointment, it was more in character with old Rover V8s.
Also, the MG version of the 75 always looked like your dad in a tracksuit.
An absolute unit
Re: The ebay thread
Don’t forget a good 70% of the mg versions have more mustang badges than a mustang

Re: The ebay thread
ISTR that the reason the output of the 4.6 was so low was because in higher states of tune there were significant cooling issues.
