message: Does anyone have any production information on the 2.3L engine offered from 1997-2000?  The table on z3roadster.com suggests that the "2.3" tag was used on the models equipped with the 2.5L engine.  Does anyone have any other information on this? --Milkmandan 00:54, 2004 Dec 31 (UTC)
:: Yes, you are correct and the original author is incorrect.  The 2.3 was in name only - the engine was still 2.5L.  In other markets (such as Australia), a 2.0L 6-cylinder replaced the 1.9L in 1999, and in 2001, it was replaced with a 2.2L.  The 2.5L Z3 was never sold here. Davez621 15:03, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

message: "Due to marketing, BMW wanted to differentiate the 2.8 L engine from the 2.5 L engine, so it was badged it 2.3 just like the 3-Series 323i, which also has a 2.5 L engine."
My brain is having trouble parsing that.  I think it's saying the 2.5L is badged "2.3" on the car, but it's got the words in the wrong order or something.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.81.170.62 (talk) 21:30, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There was a Mercedes 280 which had a 3.5 engine, or a 450 SE with a 6.9 ... and the Mercedes 190 Diesel had a 2.0 engine, but this was never displayed prominently to avoid trouble with W124 buyers. So what? --84.141.24.153 (talk) 19:35, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Does anyone have info on the MotoGP safety car? I think it is referring to this car. But the description for it here makes no mention of the MotoGP history, which you'd think would be a key selling point for the car. Also, it says the car is vinyl wrapped, which is unlikely for a safety car in 1999. Are there any other references of a Z3 being used at MotoGP in 1999-2000 (the Z8 took over in 2001)?

replies: text: I found a cite and re added it. I also found a video of it in use in 2000 at the british GP. I also found sources for the use of some other M cars in MotoGP and was wondering what you think about adding this to their respective articles? 96.54.57.109 (talk) 09:03, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  Good work finding those sources.  If there are sources for other MotoGP safety cars, personally I think it's fine to add them to the articles. 1292simon (talk) 10:15, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

message: So a few weeks back I decide to redone a photo which was involved in a discussion two years, back when I wasn't that experienced and my shots were a little rough around the edges. Overall at the time two people disagree that my image should be used while one user, Mr.choppers said otherwise. Now I redone the photo from scratch, I fixed the angle, done it up nicely and less tighter crop. It has far less distracting elements in it and original all round with quite underrated hubcaps which I find interesting then the overused M Sport alloys, it also matches the rear shot as well and the coupe picture wheel wise. Toasted thinks that a tiny, background distraction-filled image should be better and uses that 2 year old discussion as a justified reason to keep it as that. I simply want new people to evalutate which image looks better for the infobox to end this dispute between me and toasted. --Vauxford (talk) 20:08, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

replies: text:  We will see, all I'm saying not everybody objected the pictures and since I made a new edit to both pictures, people could change their mind about it. --Vauxford (talk) 21:20, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  How about the third image, I forgot I took this one and it was taken with my DSLR while the other one was taken with my lower spec bridge camera. There a car behind it but that no difference in comparison of distraction with yours. Thoughts? --Vauxford (talk) 14:59, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: The third one is way better, wheels are a bit dirty but other than that it's very good. Toasted Meter (talk) 18:08, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Why are you pushing for your images to be displayed in the main infobox again? You can upload your work to commons but not enforce your images in articles. If your images are good, editors will pick and use them. U1 quattro TALK 09:13, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
