Some areas would need to be beefed up !

BMW themselves fitted a V12 in a Z3 as a one off. I'm sure they didn't use the 1.9 diff from their donor !

Your knowledge is undoubtedly greater than mine - I thought I'd seen reports that M level Z3's had diff mount problems, but I could well be mistaken.

You're right , they did have problems in that area, fatigue related partial failures. Nothing that couldn't be fixed and strengthened.

Thanks for the pics Paul. That red one with the hinges at the bottom edge was interesting.

I have lifted some pics from the www.427hardtops.com website. Their offering for the Dax and others is very nice. Probably cost as much as a whole Kobra though ��
