Im about to get a 2006 z3. Its my first new car. I have been dirving my aunts 2001 4dr. Now its time to get my own. Do yall think its worth ther extra $1300 for the street apperance package? Any thought helps. Thanks.[???:)]

it completely changes the look of the car, especially the front end. I have it on my ST. It's also a high quality, urethane kit, so no cracking if you hit something. I think you;d like it, but go for any other options first, like stereo, power windows/locks, sunroof, cuz they will make a bigger difference in everyday driving.

is your kit urethan fspeed? cuz I think it'd be a bitch for you to drive around anywhere that had bad roads, if it was 'glass.

Saw it on a ZX5 at the dealership. Mixed feelings about it. Not too crazy about the rear lid spoiler. And thought the clamp on muffler tip was cheesy.
Yeah, it's really cheesy. But I have an ST, so they didnt install a new tip, the one it has looks fine, lol

I've seen the package on a yellow ZX3. I didn't like the exhaust tip either. It made the car look tacky in regards to the horribly restricted exhaust attached to it. I thought the spoiler looked pretty good, and the front bumper isn't bad. I would rather have an F2 front bumper than the SAP version just because I think it looks a little more upscale. However, if you purchase a fairly common color for the focus, I'm sure you can sell the front ST bumper fairly easy.

The biggest thing I think the car needs is just a set of 17" wheels to even out the proportions of the wheel gaps and the overall size of the car - even if it is a little power robbing.

I thought the BMW Z3 was superceeded by the BMW Z4. [;)]
