INGSport amazing BMW Z4 GT3 for sale.

Meeting people and companies from within our industry is one of our biggest enjoyments, and over the last couple of weeks we have been talking to Ian Lawson of INGSport about sourcing the last few parts for our own BMW Z4 V8 GT3 Road build, which has been very helpful and enlightening certainly someone thats full of good information, so it has been great touching base with him and getting some professional feedback on his own amazing Z4 GT3 endurance Britcar that he races under his own company name banner.

Whilst talking to Ian about what parts we were hoping he could assist us with finding he informed us that his wonderful GT3 Z4 is up for sale, boy oh boy do we wish we had the funds in place for that purchase … but unfortunately we are 2 years in with our own road going Z4 V8 project.

The INGSport car has been rebuilt with new parts and comes with a huge list of spares, the car is basically ready to race to go racing and the price discussed it will be the cheapest Z4 GT3 to come on to the market that we know of, it really is a bargain, the icing on the cake for this amazing little bundle of joy is it’s the time-lapse build that can be seen on YouTube built by West Coast Racing is the car you will be buying, amazing that watching that video all those years ago and we are building our own car and we have since met Ian ... such a small world.

So if you want the most aggressive looking track car to ever grace a race track then get in touch with ourselves or Ian directly … and "YES" we are available at no cost if there is a spare race seat

BMW Z4 GT3 rear wing assembly

Its taken some time but we are happy to say we have the final piece to our Z4 GT3 Jigsaw puzzle, getting hold of a genuine rear wing assembly, the wing is the easiest part to get hold of as we can simply manufacture any width any length wing with various profiles, all we have to do for the Z4 is make sure we have the correct width. We already had the early type rear wing set up, but its chassis mounted uprights which was great if you had the race car with the fixed roof, but not so great if your converting road cars and you still have the steal electric hood, we will possibly look at changing our roof to the authentic GT3 at some point, as we have found a German supplier that produces the roof and the mirrors if we need them, but not everyone wants a fixed roof, they want the convertible option, and you cannot use the roof as the wing uprights are bolted strait to the boot floor and the rear wing will not let the roof work correctly, so we have been after the later style with the boot mounted assembly for a while now, and its great to finally source a pure race wing set up, with the twin blades.

BMW Z4 GT3 REAR WING ASSEMBLY

Lots of people have said we shouldn't fit the wing as we are building a road car, and to some extent we agree, but this conversion needs it, this is a really aggressive looking car, the authentic GT3 kit is super wide, so the GT3 rear wing set up is the cherry on the top, and one this wide body V8 needs, with the added bonus and advantage of advertising space, which is priceless.

We will be having the aluminium supports laser cut and manufacturing, the double wing set up will be manufactured in carbon fibre, email us for more details if you happen to be building a Z4 GT3 or you just fancy fitting the GT3 rear wing assembly on your BMW E89 Z4 Chassis.

BMW Z4 GT3 LS3 V8 Road Conversion

The VAD BMW Z4 (E89) has finally finished its first round of modifications with the completion of our crate LS3 6.3LTR V8 engine installation, coilover suspension, brake and exhaust upgrade and we must say its turned out looking pretty immense, Craig at Dynotorque has done a pretty spectacular job, the engine install looks like it came out of the factory with this engine in place it’s that neat and tidy, it looks at home with plenty of room over the original 2.5Ltr N52B25 engine, it sits much further back with better weight distribution, with the added fact it’s a much lighter unit, we can’t just wait to hit the street in this beast, it’s going to be a pretty radical looking machine out on the open roads.

For the next stage we will be making a few suspension adjustments and will be modifying the inner fenders especially at the rear to accommodate the much larger wheel and tyre fitment, so the 13x19 and 345/30 tyres will fit as they should without any rubbing under load, It’s a necessary mod for any modified car that is having a wide body install, then it will be off to Emerald for the final map and Can-Bus setup, and then she will be ready to head off down to our composite partners BAMD for the Aspect GT carbon body GT3 install, Adam can’t wait to get his hands on this beast, and we can’t wait for him to give this build his magic touch.

Its taken us two years to research exactly what was required, along with the final spec of what we wanted, we did consider the S65 BMW V8, but after a conversation with Craig who explained the pitfalls of going that route, but how simple the LS3 conversion as well as the cost implications, it seemed like a no brainer, our vision and dream of building the ultimate road going Z4 is almost complete, and although we will upset some purists out there, we just remind ourselves, we have built this car for us, and we are happy with the route we have taken with this build.

We will be blogging when the car is down at BAMD, so be sure to bookmark us and follow the progress as it happens.
