This Shop Built a Modern BMW M Clown Shoe Out of an M140i Hatchback and an M2 The Z3 M Coupe has been dead for over a decade, but a shop in England is bringing it back. JUN 5, 2020 BMW & MINI UK GROUP/FB The BMW Z3 M Coupe is iconic. With its unique, shooting-brake shape, M3 engines, and manual transmission, the so-called "clown shoe" was one of the last weird, fun BMWs. But just because BMW killed the clown shoe in 2002 doesn't mean the dream of a strange, fast BMW shooting brake is gone forever. That's why a shop in the U.K. is building a BMW M140i with M2 parts. Based on the rear-wheel-drive, hatchback 1 Series that isn't sold in the U.S., BMW & Mini Group's build involves grafting on genuine M2 parts to create a wider, more aggressive body for the M140i. The fenders and bumpers for this one came from a crashed M2, according to Dave Campbell, who created the build. This content is imported from Facebook. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site. It's not just a cosmetic swap, though, as Campbell plans to tune and upgrade the M140i's B58 engine. That engine is available stateside in cars like the M240i, M340i, and even the Toyota Supra. In the stock M140i, the B58 produces 335 hp. UNIQUE BMW CARS FOR SALE ON FACEBOOK Campbell considered an M2 powertrain swap—he's capable, having done things like an E36 Compact M3 powertrain swap in the past—but realized he could get what he wants out of the B58. Considering we've already seen tuners getting 440 hp out of M140is on stock internals, it's easy to see why Campbell doesn't think he needs to go through the trouble of swapping in a 405-hp M2 Competition engine. The goal is to keep this car for marketing purposes and eventually sell conversions to the public. Campbell still has to finish up this build and work out pricing, but somewhere in the neighborhood of £20,000 ($25,150 at current exchange rates). https://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/a32730553/bmw-m140i-m2-swap/
Me refiero a que el Z3 M Coupé es mucho más distinguible, pero me gusta. Nano, eres el faro de la inteligencia en el foro. No perdonas ni una.
Siempre andamos con coches que si son o no "exclusivos"...pues este si que lo es, con independencia de lo que cueste.
Después de mi última experiencia en la Itv con la Vito (sólo modificación/reforma de muelles) creo que si entras con algo así en cualquier ITV de Expaña sales, literalmente, esposado .
Como para no gustarme, encima en el color que para mi le queda mejor. Me lo quedaría ya mismo. Entiendo que partiendo de un 140i y un siniestro de M2 es la única opción lógica, aunque lo ideal sería transformar un M2 y tocar la parte trasera hasta hacer un 'zapato'.
