I've only seen 2 others on the road aside from mine just form driving around. And then when we had the z4m meet up at stoneridge there were more :drool:

We must do that road to midstream sometime...

And can I ask z4m vs 135i? What's the outcome :)

I will join on the next meet up.
Coisman never scare me away :=):

Rolling start @ 20km/h: Need binoculars to see the 135i.
Rolling start @ 60km/h: 135i in front and pulling away steadily.
Rolling start @ 120km/h: 135i slowly inching away.

135i has the N55.

Welcome Brett.
I find that hard to believe. The Z4M is a fast car. I know!:fencelook:

Maybe mine is slower than normal production :argh:

Anyone knows how much a full SC kit + installation will cost (planning for the future)?

I think you need to get the adaptations reset, and then drive like Andy. :fencelook:

so all in all the the Z4M is no match for the 135i? I also cant believe it as the Z4M is very strong

My Z4M is no match for the 135i. I did however have the intake plenum cleaned out and put in a new air filter, turns out the technician at bmw that serviced the car previously damaged the air filter seal. The car was pulling air from the engine bay, but i doubt that would drastically change the engine output.

Well i'm planning on heading to Tarlton this friday, i will see how she performs there.

I will google these adaptation resets and reset them, i tried out the throttle reset but don't know if it worked, i don't see a way to confirm the reset.

Nice car by the way :=):

Maybe mine will be a match for him :fencelook:

I think a basic SC kit should set you back around R60k. But I'd rather buy a banger and make it fast straight line car if that's what you're after.

I wouldn't care if my Z4 gets beaten by all the N55 or N54's I still enjoy driving it way more. And the sound and looks are to die for.

+1 Z4M is a awesome car - I love the look the sound and feel of it - not everything is about going fast, and I am a 135i owner

Nah the intention for a SC would be to "help" the engine operate at altitude :fencelook:.

True i really enjoy the car, my face regularly hurts from all the subconscious smiling. The only thing that is "wrong" with this car is the visor - no swivel. The sun stares at me in the mornings, looks like i need to invest in some glasses.

Andy, your back boxes in your signature pic doesn't look stock anything else not stock on your Z4M :rollsmile:?
