That's kind of what I'm thinking too. I'll wait to drive another until after I've got my 3.0 back on the streets and have gotten myself fully reacquainted.

Okay, I was going to say...those weren't stock on a Z4M


OP - When I transferred from my E46 to the Z4M, I didn't drive a manual for about 2 months and when I jumped into the Z4M I stalled it immediately and thought the clutch was so heavy.

Just to realize my E46 was realllyyyyyy light


Drive another one and run those RPMs UP!

I noticed this about my MR, I think its just the stock exhaust and intake are so quiet that it makes the car feel slower. Once I put the RPI cans on my car it felt much faster, but i doubt it was in actual power and just what my butt dyno said.

I'd be willing to bet real money on real dyno gain. I instantly noticed more power when I put my straight-thru Diablo cans on. More flow makes sense.
