Old BMW Fanatic, New E85 Owner
Picking this up tomorrow for my new DD!!! I joined here in 2009 when I had my 335i. Love that thing to death, but I moved on to VW's for a few years. Back in a BMW now. I still have a few 80s models though. E30, E28, etc. Immediate plans: Three Stage IM swap Dyno tune at TopSpeed in Atlanta, GA KW coils OZ Wheels, something obnoxious like bronze supraleggras Exhaust... Need to research what sounds the best. ^ My favorite engine! So smooth and feels more powerful than it actually is. ^ Soon!!!! Muahah. FYI those are the dummy plugs for the DISA valves. ^ I went ahead and gave it a full service. Cleaned out the intake plumbing, replaced the filter with a K&N drop-in (Not worried about oil, I've been using these for over a decade). Poured some Pentosin valve cleaner and fuel cleaner into the gas tank. Going to run the tank dry and then change the oil. I need to order diff and tranny fluid, going with Redline MTF(L?) and Redline 75W90. Questions: Is Mobil 1 0W40 ok? What is the oil capacity again? 6.2qts?

It was delivered this morning. In great shape, looks like new. I could only find one paint chip on the whole thing.

I have owned a lot of different cars, and a lot of different BMWs. The Z4 feels weird, yet delightful. I feels like an old-school roadster, i.e. Morgan. I am in love! It isn't the best car I have owned, but it is the most rewarding car to drive. Done so far: -Complete maintenance kit (Amsoil tranny and diff, Mobil 1 oil, Mann filters, Gummi-pflege, convertible top kit, maf cleaned, intake plumbing cleaned). -ZHP shift knob -Wheels and tires (pending) -Morimoto D2S bulbs -Alignment -Custom Magnaflow exhaust (Not installed) -K&N drop in Still researching suspension and si swap. I need to order si brakes. |

That's awesome man. I'm actually looking to buy one now too- done all my homework, and just waiting for the right one to come along. The waiting sucks!! and you posting these pics of this immaculate vehicle doesn't help either : (
Could you please clarify what you mean by "weird" ? Is the car quirky? |

I have owned fast cars before, F/I Mustangs, Bolt-on 335i/ M3, etc, but the 3.0i feels quick, which I love. Also I am 6'2" so it feels a bit more cramped, but I love it. I have tons of head room, which is great. ^ Doing this, an oil change, shift knob install, and a full detail this weekend. |
