BMW Z3 Coupé (E36/8) on üks kõige omanäolisemaid ja julgema disainiga BMW sportautosid kogu 1990. aastate mudelivalikus. Mudel jõudis turule 1998. aastal ning põhines Z3 Roadsteri tehnilisel alusel, kuid suletud kere andis sellele täiesti erineva iseloomu. Pikast kapotist, lühikesest salongist ja jõulisest tagaosast kujunes väga eriline kuju, mis eristas Z3 Coupéd selgelt nii tavalisest Z3-st kui ka enamikust teistest BMW mudelitest. Just see muudabki Z3 Coupé üheks BMW ajaloo kõige isikupärasemaks kupeeks.
Tehniliselt pakuti BMW Z3 Coupéd nii kuuesilindriliste tavamootoritega kui ka hiljem võimsama M-versioonina. Suletud kere muutis auto jäigemaks ja praktilisemaks kui roadster, säilitades samal ajal klassikalise tagaveolise BMW sportauto olemuse. Z3 Coupé tähtsus seisneb selles, et see tõi Z-mudeliperekonda hoopis teistsuguse iseloomu — vähem puhas roadster, rohkem kompaktne ja väga juhikeskne sportkupee. Tänapäeval on Z3 Coupé hinnatud nii oma harulduse kui ka väga eristuva disaini tõttu.
Minu kollektsioonis olev mudel on Schuco toodang.
Tehnilised andmed lühidalt:
Tootmisaeg: 1998–2002
Tootmiskoht: Spartanburg, Lõuna-Carolina, USA
Mootor: 6-silindrilised bensiinimootorid
Võimsus: sõltuvalt versioonist kuni 231 hj tavaversioonides
Tootmisarv: Z3 Coupé tootmismaht oli märksa väiksem kui roadsteril
Eripära: väga omanäolise disainiga kompaktne sportkupee Z3 mudeliperekonnas
The BMW Z3 Coupé (E36/8) is one of the most distinctive and boldly styled BMW sports cars of the 1990s. It reached the market in 1998 and was based on the technical foundation of the Z3 Roadster, but its fixed roof gave it a completely different character. Its long bonnet, short cabin and muscular rear section created a very unusual shape that clearly set the Z3 Coupé apart from both the standard Z3 and most other BMW models. That is exactly what makes the Z3 Coupé one of the most individual BMW coupés ever built.
Technically, the BMW Z3 Coupé was offered with regular six-cylinder engines and later also in more powerful M form. The fixed roof made the car stiffer and more practical than the roadster, while still preserving the essence of a classic rear-wheel-drive BMW sports car. The importance of the Z3 Coupé lies in the way it gave the Z model family a very different personality — less pure roadster, more compact and highly driver-focused sports coupé. Today, the Z3 Coupé is appreciated both for its rarity and for its very distinctive design.
The model in my collection is produced by Schuco.
