obvi not mine, but saw this exchange on reddit and it perfectly summed up the z3 coupe:
"What even is that? Looks like a Z3 hatchback"
"Correct! “The Clownshoe”"
"It’s hideous. I love it!"

It's ugly as hell.
I want one.

When I was a kid my neighbor bought a new black 2.8L Clownshoe with Style 42s just like that. I thought it was badass; my parents thought I was an idiot. 20 years later my opinion hasn’t changed at all.

I have held a grudge against the Z3M coupe for over 15 years because my sister's high school ex-boyfriend drove his mom's Z3M coupe. My 14 year-old mind thought "this guy's definitely a little weird because he has the stomach to date my sister, but I love Top Gear, he seems like a car guy, maybe we can connect on that?" So, I ask him about the car, we chat for maybe 15 seconds and then I asked him how wide the rear tires were because they looked wide, and offered a guess at 265 rears.
He said, "8.5 inches."
Confused, I said "what? Tire widths are measured in mm."
He snarkily responded, "no, they're 8.5 inches wide, and that's how they're measured in the US and by most racing bodies."
The gears were turning in my brain. That can't be right. My 14 year old mind urged me to be Captain Slow and be pedantic, but I thought better of it.
For the next six months as he would come by the house to hang out with my sister with that dumb grin, my grudge began to fester. Any time we talked cars, he attempted to correct me on every little thing. Infrequently, he was right, but that's besides the point. The damage was done. My brain had permanently associated Z3M coupes with renobs and it has taken me ~15 years to get over that. Despite your best efforts, Daniel, I love the clown shoe.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk
