Lpg Conversion

[Noelport]

Hi, I have a 1999 BMW Z3 1.9cc convertible running on petrol. Can you please give me the pros and cons for the conversion to LPG. Would you recommend such a conversion. Some mechanics claimed that there are no disadvantages, while others told me not to convert as BMW cars will require frequent injectors or spark plugs replacement.

I would appreciate your opinion.

Thank you and regards.

I cannot comment on the Z3 option, however I converted a Peugot 406 1.8 to run LPG as a taxi. My opinion is DON'T do it. Firstly the mpg is reduced by about 10% when running lpg, power is also reduced and then there is the issue of weight gain as the tank is extremely heavy so I personally do not think it suitable for a sports car. My personal opinion only, please take pro advice.
