Haha. Well spotted! Need 4 seats! - I wasn't driving it daily until recently - and I really need the 4 seats. I drive it daily and it is difficult with two seats... and the small fuel tank!

Ooohhh ANILE8, I see you got the 380mm STs on the front. Wish I'd done that in the end.
Here is my girl at SBM wearing slicks and TE37 SL's. Waiting for photos and video from Winton on the weekend.

I vote just get a cheapie for daily driving, and keep the Z4 for special.

Any reason you went with the 355mm kit on the front? You must have 18" wheels right?

But I don't know his circumstances so maybe there are other considerations we are not aware of.

Haha. Yeh, it's half heartedly on. Not that I'm actually planning to sell it.
Went with a few mates for drive to Kinglake on Saturday. Shabby weather, but boy it was enjoyable. Pity they all Audi fanboys, of which I ain't.....

Three reasons I guess. I wasn't sure if I would one day move to track wheels where clearance would be an issue (not all 18" wheels fit the 380's as I understand it), I figured cooling might be less of an issue with a smaller disc, and to reduce rolling mass. The second two reasons were really only to justify the first one. But the Te37's I use as track wheels would clear anything, and the G2's are 19", so no issue there either. So in retrospect, I should have got the 380mm fronts. Still, not a big deal I guess. But if you ever find your fronts have been swapped for 355s by some b*stard, you know where to look.

I went for a short blast on Sunday to the Dandenongs, better weather I think. Was testing out some increased negative camber settings I dialled in on Saturday before a proper four wheel alignment that I was booked in for on Monday.

I only have one garage spot and my gf's MCS is already on the street. Funnily enough my passenger mirror got screwed by some vandal on Brunswick St. last week - so it's been sitting in the garage since waiting for parts for repair. Totally miss driving the Z.
The MCS is a good daily and cheap to run but the Z leaves it for dead in sound/handling/acceleration - I used to think the MCS was fast lol! Maybe I'll get the CDV and see if that makes it 'easier' to live with... also what version of the nav are you guys running? I think mine is the original - the phone module sucks ass as you have to scroll through individual names rather than letters to get to a particular number... anyone else have this problem?! |

For example the OEM wheels will not. Hell, they will not even clear the 355mm disc's with the StopTech kits as it is the calliper that hits the wheel well rather than the actual disc size being the problem. With the deal you managed to score those Volk Racing VR.G2's for, I would not feel too bad if I was you. Hindsight is always 20/20, the amount of things I could have, or should done is endless. When it is time to change your disc's you can order the 380mm disc's. You would also need two different mounting brackets for the front callipers if you change disc size but that is not a big deal. Z.R. will sort you out.

Also looked at some 4 seat options last weekend. 1M looks like a kids car tbh. I'm sure it is fast but it is a little too 'aftermarket' I feel. There is one for sale 125k with air filter and ECU. Also looked at E90 M3 DCT - boy that thing sounds amazing!

"Justifiable Homicide Your Honour" Unfortunately that is the reality in this city. You cannot leave a nice vehicle unattended with confidence it will be in the same condition when you come back. Vandals are among the lowest scum on the planet.

I still prefer a stick over DCT. Tested DCT E90 M3 few months back, and just 3 weeks ago a manual E92 M3, cos he was looking for his first euro car coming up from a Honda Accord. I still find the E90/92 M3 quite muted... must be personal preference. Guess the exhaust and air intake on the Z4M does have quite an effect on my tastes. The C63 sound is absolutely gorgeous. Even the X6M sounded more mean than the M3.

Yeah, good point. I'm hoping I won't need to change disc for some time tho. I might consider some additional brake cooling at some point. Only if I can block the ducts during normal street driving tho. SBM cut out the stock front ducts for me but FYI, that made no difference at all to cooling in my opinion.

I test drove the TTRS on Monday - nice looking car, a little bit of lag, steering/clutch/gearshift is too light it feels as if it is Japanese (not that there's anything wrong with that). TTS has way too much lag. I've always thought about the 1M... dealer a few weeks ago said all gone! |
