LeolWH, Welcome on board.
There may be members of zroastders who could be interested in buying the parts you remove. You could list them on the For Sale Section of the forums.
Looking forward to seeing how your project develops.

LeolWH,
I am watching this with deep interest. I cannot wait to see how you manage to balance all the competing requirements of designing and building an EV. Do you have any specs you are working towards, such as range or acceleration, or is it a "lets see what we can accomplish" project?

Thanks, Clockwatcher, I am working to a spec of
Z3i z3 1.9
Acceleration 6.5- 7s 9s
top speed . same
rpm 7000
range
fullcharged
120 miles warm
90 miles cold unsure around 900 miles full tank
what we can accomplish:
need to confirm Worlds first Electric Alternating current z3/e36 platform
unconfirmed BMW z3 converted to electric with ac unit costing less than 10000
Hope these answers your question!

Once I'm finished I may start to provide kits or sell the complete converted car around 19000

thank you for your support pingu!

LeolWH,
What are the specs for the motor and why did you choose that particular motor?

hi, the spec is an ac synchronising permanent magnet AC motor rated at ~200 horsepower and I'm unsure of the torques and stuff but I do know the voltage is 650v and its actually a hybrid transmission,we have chosen this because of the easily modifiable internals and the adapter plate was easier to make and i did not choose a red weak dc one as it is not powerful and costs are a lot higher as they actually come in kits which were something we didn't want to do
Thanks
Side project on converting a z3 to electric: So when you are converting an electric car you would be left with some engine, fueline, fuel tank or an exhaust. in my case I have sold these stuff and got back around £250 and I'm still selling today you can check out my store on eBay link in description, and I actually thought about upcycling some parts e.g my m44 engine block actually ended up being a flower pot then I saw ppl selling turbo lamps and stuff like that and I thought about doing that with the camshaft then I gathered parts like wires and bulbs and switches etc for the pair cost me £35 just for the electrical and lampshade, and the camshaft cost like £100 off some stores(BMW part) but I just have one on my hands. so I assembled it together took an hour for the pair pretty pleased, perfect for home decor for a petrolhead!
