k2pilot · 12-16-2009, 01:18 AM

Hello z folk,

coming here from e46fanatics as a previous owner of two e46's and an e38.

hope you like the photo's!

first thing i do when i get any new car, flush out those bodily fluids:shhh:

these were the photo's i took when i first took a look at the car.

Nice! I've seen numerous Z4M threads on e46fanatics andnever spotted this, did you not post it there?

i'm a big time poster/lurker of the OT there.

this was my first poll there about keeping my m3 vs getting the z4mc.

and the photo thread i made when i got the z4mc a couple weeks ago.

Ah, that explains it - I've never posted in the OT section; you usually see the Z4 posts in Other Models or The Showroom.

Congrats!

Car looks great. I also previously owned an e46 m3. IMHO you made a good choice.

Ryan@IND · 12-16-2009, 02:12 PM

So clean! Enjoy the new ride.

yes the m3 was certainly a gorgeous car but the z4mc is such a better drivers car. i still can't get over how planted and fast it is! it was how i was imagined the m3 to be coming from my e46.
i couldn't be more happy with my decision!!

i think the rasp-x and eisenmann race on my m3 was a fantastic tone, it almost sounded like a v-8. since i was looking in to the SS header's i had also considered the exhaust. it's also one of the cheaper ones out there as a recall. however if i go for the stepped headers it'd set me back an arm and a leg.

Hope we like the photos?

Damn - every time I see a Z4M in IB it takes me back to when I was at the dealership. Do I go with the Sapphire Black or the Interlagos Blue? SB or IB...SB or IB?

IB on a Z4M Coupe is as right as blue on a blueberry!

beautiful car - I just notice that it's de-badged in the earlier pictures. Looks damn good de-badged... and no front plate.

I hate front plates, but I have to run one as well (Northern VA cops are pretty darn intense).

yeah well i was in disbelief over the fact that the badge was actually installed crooked! and i've seen it on a few other pics of other peoples m coupes, so i know i'm not the only one.

also to take the debadging a step further, i want to make some sort of a plug to get rid of the bmw logo, and instead just have a regular style e46 side blinker, it'd simplify the car that much more.

as for the front plates... yeah, if you live in a city i can see how you'd get some trouble rocking no front plate. i've always been lucky i guess, and if i do get a ticket i'll just rock a euro plate.

Airplanes and ///M coupes just seem to go well together.
