Hi from the Bay Area - New Owner of a Z4MC

snk · 03-29-2013, 03:21 AM

I should be free this Sunday.

RobMCoupe · 03-29-2013, 12:45 PM

Probably not this weekend. Still waiting for my spacers to clear BBK.

E8SEHHX · 03-29-2013, 01:57 PM

I dont get the car until April 6.

Thats if I am invited to this meet. Hah.

snk · 03-29-2013, 03:40 PM

Just realized it's going to rain this weekend

Finnegan · 03-29-2013, 03:43 PM

I need to check my calendar this weekend. May us booked at this point solid, end of April is too. How did spring get so busy?! Don't wait on me though!

gferil · 03-29-2013, 06:50 PM

Yeah May is pretty booked. I'm getting headers done on the 6th, so I'll definitely want to show them off. How bout we aim for around April 13 for the "celebrating GTUHOH's and Sat's new cars" meet? Where's everyone coming from? Should we do another east bay meet spot?

Well played sir

RobMCoupe · 03-30-2013, 01:23 PM

4/13 looks like open for me unless my RB rear calipers are delivered prior.

gferil,

Like to hear your new exhaust setup. BTW, did you get the Evolve Euro tune? I'm wondering if you need to modify your tune to get the most out of your headers. Or are you going to wait for Evolve CF intake and jump to Alpha N tune.

gferil · 03-30-2013, 04:46 PM

Rob, definitely happy with my new exhaust setup. I am having them re-do my tune, need to get the headers installed first, and then confirm that I'm only throwing the cat code, once I confirm that they'll send me a new tune. I was thinking of waiting for the CF airbox, but to be honest I have no idea how long it will take them to do that and I'd rather get the most out of my headers now rather than wait.

SF-Z4_3.0si · 03-31-2013, 01:58 PM

I will be around every weekend in April, except April 20-21. Being a newby to BMW, I'd love to meet other BMW enthusiasts, and pick their brains a bit. ;-)

Finnegan · 03-31-2013, 03:18 PM

I think there will also be a few of us at ALMS on May 11. It would not only be fun to check out cars/mods--even an exhaust or two--but see some really great Z4s on the track in action! Here's the thread with details.

Did you get new mufflers too? I recall you are redoing yours.

gferil · 04-08-2013, 10:31 AM

GTUhOh, what's the status on the new ride, did you get it yet?

Rob, yep, Aero mufflers replaced the generic resonators you saw last time. Just got the EU headers in, love the power, car sounds great when driving lightly, but any pressure past normal on the gas pedal and it's rasp city...like I have a can of angry bees in the trunk...

RobMCoupe · 04-08-2013, 12:41 PM

I like to get a ride in your car when we meet next time.

Just got it Saturday! Loving it. Id love to hear your setup btw.

snk · 04-09-2013, 03:12 PM

By any chance you got yours from Pace BMW or has Pace BMW plate on it?

Edit: nvm, just saw the pic you posted on the first page. I'm friends with Val and he posted a pic of your car on Saturday. The odds of 2 people getting a BSM Z4M is like sighting a unicorn.
Have Val invite you on one of our outings.

demonshin · 04-10-2013, 04:17 AM

Eewwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

gferil · 04-10-2013, 11:04 AM

Rob, GTUHOH you're both welcome to ride/drive next time we all meet.

RobMCoupe · 04-11-2013, 01:24 PM

Sounds like a plan. Hope to see you on exhaust hub DIY day.

E8SEHHX · 05-29-2013, 08:37 PM

Decided to share a quick update...

Within having the car for about 1.5 months, I have put on Fortune Auto Coilovers, RPI Exhaust, 220M's off my boyfriend's M3 (temporary until I get my Workmeister's bored to fit), Carbon Fiber Kidney Grills, Carbon Fiber shorty antenna, Tint 35/20. I guess what's next is just waiting for the Mstache 2.

mfanatic325 · 05-29-2013, 08:45 PM

Holy crap you mod fast!!

We should do another Bay Area Exhaust fest by end of July or something.
