It wasn't just that endless, linear power curve of the S54 engine. Everything about the car felt perfect!
The guy whose M I drove commented on the M54B25 in my Zed and reckons it's a terrible engine because it hasn't got enough torque. The 3L variant on the other hand is one of the best standard engines ever.
I was aware about the si variants and N52 engines, and the extra power is why that was what I was considering. Nearly pushed the button on a really nice one from Victoria too, but decided that I would always felt like I was settling if I didn't wait for the M 
So if anybody knows an Interlagos Blue Z4M Roadster going up for sale please get in touch as I'm very interested! |
From what I hear, the Interlagos ones (along with Imola) are quite rare, but I think there were one or two in NNSW when I was looking at mine.
Yeah, driving the 2.5 before I bought mine was wholly uninspiring but the 3.0 M54, for all its faults, is one hell of an engine
Since I've bought my roadster, I really want a Z4M coupe to round out the matching set now
