New Z4 Coupe owner in Cardiff

Post by Alex_h » Sat Jun 30, 2018 3:49 pm

Hi All,

Had my 2007 Z4 Coupe for about 6 weeks now, so thought I’d join the forum and say hi.

I was looking for a weekend runaround for a while and test drove the 350Z, TT & S2000 but always preferred the Z4 and was proved right after the test drives.

I took it down to Le Mans the other week and it was a pleasure to drive; comfortable, great looking... and quick.

Any recommendations on a new rear box to beef up the noise a bit?

Welcome to the forum OP - and to Coupe ownership. :thumbsup:

I can't really help with the lack of exhaust noise (mine had a custom system on when I got it), but have you tried the sound generator mod? If you aren't familiar with the term try a search on the "How To" section of the forum.
