Copycat LOL!!

Congrats on the new car and enjoy the ride!!

New Z4M Coupe owner from Wisconsin checking in

I have had my Z4MC for just about 2 months now and I love it. You guys have already helped me 100 times, so I thought I'd say hey. The most amazing thing was getting my transmission fluid changed. That was great advice and my shifts are like butter now. Anyway just saying hello.

Evening all..

Been lurking for a while, so time to make a post I guess..

I have a 2005 E85 3.0Se Auto that I've had for just over a year..

Been doing lots of bits, some subtle, some not so...

To date I've repaired and relocated the roof motor into the boot, modified my original exhaust to make it sound EPIC, just done my VANOS - WHAT a difference, and removed the internals of the secondary cats for a bit more power....

Time served mechanic, although I no longer work on card for a living. Happy to help others with advice etc..

Mike

Hi Guys, I only really registered on here for the M2 forum, but as a long term Z4MC owner I thought I should pop over to this section and say hello, and put up the obligatory picture.

@Top pup

I'm also been thinking about adding M2. Can you do a review and comparison? I think some owners are thinking the same. If you're willing to share at the general section of the ZPost, that'd be awesome.

It's great the resources here continue to help folks. Enjoy the ride, it looks almost like my twin (I have Stoptech not Brembo).

Thanks for saying hello! Those sound like some great mods, especially moving the top motor which is an ongoing PITA for many owners. Advice from seasoned experts is always welcome, we do tend to pitch in to track down the gremlins and find solutions!

Glad you stopped by! Any chance you'd do a quick compare/contrast on the two? Even a "I'm keeping the Z4MC along with the M2 because..." might be insightful/interesting!

Yeah I can certainly do that, give me a day or two and I'll post some thoughts up.

Hello! Thought I'd poke my head in and say Hi. I'm not a BMW owner (yet), however the Z4MC has really caught my attention this past week. I saw one for sale on the BaT website and I've not been able to stop researching since! I'm going to resurrect an old thread in hopes some current and past owners have insight on what to look [out] for when purchasing a Z4MC.

Thanks!

Hello Everyone!!!

Just found and picked up an 2007 Z4 Coupe 3.0si.
Black on black, 6sp manual, Sport,Premium,Xenon.(not sure what
other packages, someone could chime in/help would be greatly appreciated)
2 Older owners to boot.

The Bad: the Bridgestone run craps!!! WOW just wow.
It brings back bad memories when i had my new 09 135i
and to make things worse, the previous owner just got these tires 5K miles ago. Gotta put up with them for a while.

Gonna be posting about this and that soon

Thanks

Hey guys, continuing the lineage of BMW cars I have owned in the past, this one is the most raw and fun BMW I have ever owned.

After selling my pristine E36 M3 convertible, I looked for a good candidate for a few months until I found it out of Austin Texas.

2006 Z4M with 27K miles on the odometer.
Black Sapphire / Imola Red interior
This is my garage queen and weekend warrior. I look forward to every weekend morning ride and group gathering.

The mod list is growing as I plan to upgrade wheel set and cat back exhausts.

The site has been very resourceful, look forward to contributing back.

Hi

I'm John from Mechanicsburg, PA. I've owned a Z4 2.5, 2003 for 9 years and have followed the posting here, as well as, on other forums. I'd have registered early, but I'm not the greatest mechanic like others and I really couldn't offer assistance to others.
