Want More Fun Out of Your Car?

3.91 gears added to the ess 525 supercharged z4m makes your face look like this

Just need to figure out how to put 285's on the rear to make her stick better. Let me know what offset and rim width will make it work?

Finally got those gears in eh? Don't let me drive it!

Seriously, good to hear this makes a good match with the blower! Cool!

I'm happy you like it!

1st gear revs up quick I bet. I'm having trouble with traction in first 2 gears, I can't imagine shorter gears. I had gears on my 3.0 before, and it really woke it up though.

We need 315mm in the back to lay down the power

Ron, you can drive her.

Zstig, it's noticeable but regular driving hasn't changed. Honestly, I don't put my foot to the floor much in first gear, but when getting on the freeway in third, I thought "hmm, I could have installed 4.10's."

It spun in second gear before and I am sure it still does.
