I own a 1999 Z3 Coupe. You need to adjust your door latch. To open your driver door, push in on the top of the door, just above the handle, before pulling on it. It will open easily.
Yep, I’ve figured out the pushing in thing. It also helps greatly when I spray some lube in the latch but it only lasts a week or two before it gets sticky. How would I adjust the door latch?
Push down in the door latch area and the door driver door will open. Hit it latch with lithium grease and it will start working again. Pro tip- don’t use the door handle to pull and close the door. Hold the storage area and pull instead. The handles are known to break. Also don’t use the glove box too much. They tend to sag
I’ve just always really liked these cars, and I realized I could sell the 240 for pretty much the same price as I got the M coupe for. So I figured why not give it a go?
I miss this era of BMW so much
Great car. My friend had one new when we were in college. We have become horsepower crazy. That car is a rocket.
0-60 is still somewhere in the low to mid 5s so it’s certainly no slouch! Still on par with modern hot hatchbacks.

Thanks for the tips!
There's a very thick metal plate in the glove box. Remove that plate and it sags less. Also can reinforce the latch.
whaat made you switch from m240i to this M coupe?

Such a nice car, and in the perfect color
one of my favorite bmws ever made! i was gonna get a non M version for my first car but the price sky rocked right before i got my licence :(
I remember these giving the beans to ws6 trans ams 😅
This will be fun... if it will work with you :D Such a power house
The legendary clown shoe, I love these things lol. Did you sell the m240i?
Yup, the 240 should be going to its new owner this week.
@@mevans313 onto the next chapter as they always say. what are the main differences between the cars? Is the 240 considerably faster than the m coupe?
@@M240Waheed well my 240 has basically double the horsepower of the M coupe so it’s definitely faster, but the M coupe is fun in plenty of other ways
Lovely
Great video! would you be willing to sell me the OEM knob? lol
If you want a broken one sure 🤷♂️
Now I remember why I sold my z3
I Love your car
Awesome!
Godamn bamboozled us all
My bad
@@mevans313 curious how much it cost you to get it, forget to say congrats!
Paid $30k out the door which is a pretty good deal for today’s market given the mileage and overall condition.
New M2
BMW z3?
Not a Z3 😉
