Stupid people need a good crapping on sometimes. Like that "heel toe" post...

It's like people who pronounce Audi as "Oddie"... sometimes you just wanna fist f**k their face.

Hope you find an M you want.
G'luck.

Gotta watch is damn near daily, the pop up and leave real quick, mine was listed all of 15 minutes before I bought it. There where quite a few interlagos last I checked, I'll keep an eye out as well, it's worthwhile to take a road trip for a good deal. Costing me about $400 to fly out and drive the car home vs. $1000-$1800 to ship it.

I actually stripped the car relatively quick, everything is off and OEM back on in 2 days.

Rack of goodies that I cleaned off after this picture.

Glad your ok, Cant wait to see the new Z....

Both are great tracks and beautiful colors so you cant go wrong with either!

Well, you know my color preference...

When I bought mine BMW Melbourne had Black and Red 2007 they punched and were selling as new, they didn't want to deal so I passed. Might want to check them.

As long as you don't deal with Fields. I just found out they mark parts up 50% from list...


Cheers

The coupe really does look like a totally different car in red.

I'll give you the full lowdown. Only reason I only supercharged was because the coupe was to be my track car. Now I don't want to track one anymore and will likely build a dedicated track car.

As such as a street only car 430 wheel is way to low, I wanted to buy a new coupe and approach HPF about turboing it but they say they wont do it. Which is why I said ok no more selling the SC.

Now I am thinking of saying the hell with it and getting an e46 m3 as a replacement and turboing that. Even though our shop already has a HPF 2.5, a SC e46 m3, and an NA one (seriously don't need 4 e46 m3 shop cars )



But I want the power, and it seems the only option. Not enough interest for the Z4Ms for HPF to do it.

They will probably be transfered over to the e46 if I got it. Unless someone wants to offer me like 4k for them.

Auto trader doesn't have many listings, anyone know any other good sources.
My Z4M Ib is for sale at the dealer, but it is a convertibel, not a coupe

Just FYI - There was a very cherry, very low mileage, 2006 E46 M3 ZCP 6MT on craigslist in the Dallas area about two weeks ago...About as close to "new" as one might find...

Really? I've driven front wheel drive cars, all wheel drive cars, and rear wheel drive cars, and the only difference is how you get the power down on each different drive layout. The lines are actually pretty much the same. The thing that really dictates which line you choose is actually the weight of the car and how long the wheel-base is. In fact, I would drive a 335i on a different line through certain types of turns than I would in an MZ4 Coupe, but the same line I take with the 335i will most likely suffice if I were in a FWD sedan of equivalent size and weight. The only adjustment I would make from a FWD perspective, is that since the front end of the car PULLS you through a turn, I would actually get on the throttle earlier since power isn't delivered like a RWD would.

But I digress. What you described with the practice of driving on purpose off-line in a school or DE environment is frowned upon, especially if other drivers on the track at the same time does not know you're trying to practice purposely going off-line. Now, if you're talking about trying a slightly earlier apex than what you're used to doing, or trail-brake into a very late apex, then that is to be expected. Everyone is fine-tuning their line on a lap by lap basis. But taking a turn way off apex or car widths away from the proper turn-in...I dunno. Not something I would try without letting other people I share the track with know.
