i have always used asda fuel, but prompted by the lack of blip

Tbf when I had the backbox deleted on my previous Z4, I too would blip the throttle on changing down a gear or two. Simply for the noise it would make

Well I'll have to confess I often do it - drop down a couple of gears with a blip before starting to brake.

Just because I can - and my car has a custom cat-back exhaust thanks to a previous owner so it's worth it! Thank you previous owner.

One day I might grow up, but there's no rush.

Must confess, I do the same, and it always makes me smile.

Good to see you are enjoying your 30i, even if it isn't the one I looked at!

Yes, loving it.
Perhaps controversial, but I asked myself, would red be my first choice, and the answer was no.
But yes, am enjoying the car, plenty of grunt and just love the fact it gives me the best of both worlds , being a coupe or a convertible.
You need to try one.
Don’t think you’d be disappointed

Well in over 40 years of car ownership I've never had a convertible, so I'm not sure it's my thing!

And I do love Red cars, although I've only had 2! First was a MK2 Escort RS2000 back in the 80s, then recently I had an Imola Red E46 325ti Compact.

So if I do move on from my E86, an Imola Red Z4MC looks like the most likely option! Just need to check for lost cash down the back of the sofa now.

But as you say the 3 litre N52 engine does have plenty of grunt - even in the E90 330i I just got as a daily!

I've taken to a bit of throttle blippery now my back box has been played with.

Fuel wise I use Tesco's Momentum or Costco's 99 Super and only if I absolutely have to the super expensive Shell V Power stuff. Costco is always the cheapest, usually about 4p/l cheaper than Tesco. Indeed Costco's Super is usually cheaper than Shell's ordinary stuff near me!
Super wise though, you folks need to run a good few tanks to full get rid of any ordinary grade stuff left/mix with the super. Even if your tank was bone dry when you put the good stuff in, it takes a good few tank fulls for the fuel trims, ignition advance etc etc to adjust to the higher octane so sorry guys its not an overnight process.
Probably worth resetting the adaptions if you can when you switch or at least doing a throttle adaption to speed things along, especially if you've driving it harder looking for the extra urge

There is no doubt having a modified exhaust is the factor here for blipping or not blip , if you don't have, you don't get the noise and so don't bother, it's that simple

All hail the bloopers, brings out the child in you

You can’t beat a bit of heal and toeing when going back down the box. Very satisfying when you get it just right.
