TC Kline Carbon Coupe FS for 57.9k

cmark8 · 03-10-2011, 07:00 AM

I just went to TC Kline's website and I saw their famous Carbon Coupe for sale. It weighs 435lbs less than our Moupes, and it is rated at 342hp. Yours for only 57.9k! Not sure if I would pull the trigger since it was purposefully built for track and driven by numerous different drivers, but it's definitely attractive with this huge price reduction! The only thing I would change is that odd looking front bumper, it looks like the car is frowning and it doesn't look as aggressive as the original M bumper.

This car has been featured in many magazines and has been seen all over the United States. If you search the internet for "TC Kline Carbon Coupe" you will get plenty of articles and pictures prasing the aggressive styling and impressive performance that this vehicle offers on the street and at the track!

The Carbon Coupe is built on a 2006 BMW Z4 M Coupe chassis. The body panels are made from carbon fiber and many of the character lines on the car have been redesigned by TC Kline to soften the look of the car and give a wider stance. The car is about an inch and a half wider than a normal Z4 M and weighs about 435 lbs lighter than the normal Z4 M. This means that the power to weight ratio has been improved significantly!

The Engine is the 3.2 liter in-line 6 cylinder engine producing 342 horsepower @7,900 rpm and 262 ft-lbs. of torque. The flywheel has been replaced with our lightweight aluminum flywheel and Sachs clutch/pressure plate.

The Exhaust is custom made from stainless steel featuring Borla race mufflers. The combination of the custom made pipes and borla mufflers gives this car a very unique sound without being too loud.

The Suspension features the TC Kline Smart Design coil-over system. This includes double adjustable dampers, TC Kline special VVS lightweight alloy springs, TC Kline camber plates, TC Kline rear shock mounts, TC Kline rear ride height adjusters, TC Kline delrin front control arm bushings, and TC Kline delrin rear trailing arm bushings.

Wheels and Tires on this car were chosen with 3 key priorities: 1) Lightweight 2) Strength and 3) Attractive, simple styling! The Rays Engineering TE37 One-peice Forged Aluminum wheels incorporated all of those features so we had them made for BMW fitment in particular sizes. This car has 18x9.5 - front and 18x10.5 - rear wheels wrapped with Michelin tires.

There are plenty of stories about this car to talk about for hours! If you are interested in purchasing this car please feel free to call us at 614.771.7744 or email Erik @ erik@tcklineracing.com

I caravanned home from last BMW home coming with this car (and a z4 coupe). It got about 5mpg more than my stock coupe did.

Im Just adding another reason for one of you guys to buy it lol.

cmark8 · 03-10-2011, 12:58 PM

+5mpg would put me at around 21mpg... Hahahaha!

It would look a million times better too, if it had the lines on the hood like the M variants.

good point, so did they work with a 3.0si coupe and just replace mechanical & body parts going along or did they have a m-coupe but just didn't replicate the lines of the hood when doing the cf mold?

It resembles the OEM Aero Bumper, but it's not exactly it. There are no foglights and it looks quite disproportional with the widened body.

Indeed, but I remember it being for sale for 80k.

MFGJR · 03-10-2011, 05:10 PM

I always wondered if they ever actually sold one of those, or did they build just the one?

The bodywork has the look of those Ferrari replicas built on a Fiero frame. Just doesn't look "finished." Not a fan.
