Coupe non M

[SYMZ3]

Was there ever a non M coupe with the standard 2.8i engine?

Extract from Wikipedia Z3 page:-

Coupé (E36/8)
Coupé models entered production in January 1998.[12] The unusual side profile has been given nicknames such as "clown shoe" and "bread van" by critics.[13][14][15][16] In Germany, it has been referred to as a "turnschuh" (sports shoe).[17]

The coupé body style was only produced with six-cylinder engines (2.8, 3.0i, and M Coupé models).

There’s been a couple on eBay recently. Both were left hand drive, although one was described as Japanese import.

So, no RH drive coupes with the standard 2.8i or 3.0 engine were ever made available to the UK market?

Thanks for all the responses.

I am hoping that I will import a LHD 2.8i coupe from Japan with low miles (less than 20k) and get it professionally converted to RHD and pimping it.

I love the coupe look, not keen on the M set-up.

Don't think a lhd to rhd would be impossible but could entail a bit of work.
Dashboard easy enough same with the steering and pedal box servo etc think the biggest potential issue would be a possibility of needing a new wiring loom as current loom will more than likely not be any good as doubt it would reach across to the other side.
