Z4M - CSL Engine?

[UpNcOmiNg!]

No no. Power is the same as e46, torque figures may be slightly lower though. MAYBE

 

[Andy1GP]

and it is also lower on power than the standard e46

but for some reason ... faster in a drag than the v8 e92 ..... dependent on driver? :thumbs:

What gives you that idea?

On average the Z4M produces slightly higher wkw figures than a stock E46M3, but partially due to the shorter 6 speed box.

For arguments sake even if the Z4M produced 5kw less due to exhaust that's less than 2% on the fly and won't be noticeable anywhere. 15 degree temperature difference will have more effect than that.

From what I've seen on M5board the CSL > Z4M and then again the V8M > CSL so unless the E9x M has more occupants I don't think it will take a Z4M.

However I have not tested this myself...

Edit

Your Z4M is faster than a E46M3 so why complain?

Anyways what you're referring to is theoretical only. ACTUAL flywheel figures are identical and wheel figures should favor the Z4M anyways

Andy,

not complaining ..... love my Z4M and will never sell it for anything :inlove:

 

[Andy1GP]

Good! :thumbs:

@ Sirhan I actually realised something today. The Z4M's don't have a viscous fan like the rest of the M3's have. So that's another tiny little amount of power gain the Z has over it's more practical brothers.

good observation Andy
