Hi Paul, Brian and others, I also like the looks of the Z3. Let's see. . .rear wheel drive. . .2900 pounds curb weight. Standard transmission or auto?
It's a little heavy, but with a standard tranny, that's not insurmountable. That's about what my 240SX was before conversion. Now it's 3250 lbs with 1000 lbs of batteries onboard. What kind of batteries were you considering? Are advanced batteries in the budget? What's your desired range?

I'm interested in the same BMW cars because of their visual appeal. Someone told me that the front wheels on BMWs are slightly toed in which makes the car role a little more difficult. It would be great to see a list of the top 10 or 20 most efficient donor cars.

I checked the evalbum and did not see one done. Thanks.
