What did you buy your Z4 this week?

pokeybritches · 04-30-2015, 10:23 AM

I dropped my supercharged (VF Engineering) 3.0i off at TTFS for water/meth injection, 3.33" pulley, and a custom dyno tune. I should have it back in a week and a half.

Bought this for the MZ4 Coupe. Has 160 more ft-lbs of torque than the M.

Seems like you made a more sensible choice for a second car than me The Hack.

Is it a 335 diesel?

I bought a 1992 BMW E34 M5 3.8 in Brocade red, the only one left in this color in the world as the other one made was scrapped in Denmark some years ago.

What gave it away, the 160+ ft-lbs of torque?

Twixboy · 05-01-2015, 11:41 AM

Need to change your profile if you traded in the Veloster. Earlier this year I was actually debating if I should trade in my dd truck for the 335 diesel or if I should just get a Z4 as a 2nd car. Still not sure I made the right choice since now I have 2 vehicles that I only drive 50 miles a week each.

The shop said two weeks (so May 9) but I'm prepared for three. I'm really not sure what to expect. I had 285 whp with a tune that was far too rich (10.2 afr). Since then I've added some tiny cats and a lightweight flywheel. I'll be increasing boost by about 3 psi and adding cooling / octane boost through the WMI. I would be happy with 330 whp, but I might get a lot higher.

UUC Transmission mount bushings (option 1) and enforcer cups. Car is up on ramps with the OEM removed, just waiting for UPS to drop off the package.

I bought new sets tires for my Z last week.
BFGoodrich g-Force Sport Comp2 and they are quite awesome tires with decent price.

This week, I am buying my car an aftermarket amplifier (Alpine PDR-F50)and changing out the headunit (My old Pioneer DEH-P6800MP) since my stock DSP-Carver amp is dead...

funkle · 05-06-2015, 02:29 PM

I had my seat redone. The upper bolster was trashed, so they replaced the leather & padding for that piece. And the under-seat support had collapsed, so they rebuilt the support and put in new padding. Feels fantastic now.

funkle · 05-06-2015, 04:30 PM

I bought this for my M Coupe:

5.0L V8, 302 hp & 339 lb/ft. For a big, heavy wagon, it has a lot of squirt. It's my first V8 and I'm loving it. Because it is the polar opposite in a lot of ways, and I'm driving the MC less (only in ideally suited situations) it makes driving my M Coupe that much more fun.

CP600BMW CD changer emulator. Plugs in just like a changer, supports up to 32gb SD card, allegedly lightning-fast. Has been around for quite a while, but nobody stateside sells it, had to pluck it from eBay.de, for about $250 delivered. It's TINY. Will report back on results/performance, it goes in this weekend in place of my USA*Spec iPod adapter, which sounds great in my (analog) ZHP, but like ass in my (DSP) Z4MC.

GuidoK · 05-07-2015, 06:36 AM

^ be sure to get the latest firmware (already a few years old) and avr/ibus firmware from maintronic (if it's not already loaded with it).
With previous firmwares the id3 tag listing on the dash was dodgy/unsupported.

It's a small but high quailty player.
I've been using that thing for 4 years now, imho it's still the best plug&play unit.
