Only jesting mate I'm all for subtlety
Nice! Well done to the both of you!
I find the increased throttle response so eager that it makes it difficult to drive smoothly
That's not right Iain - the steering change is a bit subjective but the throttle response should be very obvious. I find it near impossible to heel and toe downshift in normal mode as the engine is quite lazy to repond, or at least needs a big prod on the throttle to get the engine to blip. In sport mode it is much easier as the engine revs rise much quicker to a relatively small throttle input.
It slightly reduces the distance the throttle pedal needs to be pressed to accelerate. Which makes driving smoothly slightly harder.
Thats cheap. I paid £215 delivered from camskill for the same tyres. can't go wrong with them.Zeld4 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 16, 2018 2:46 pm358CF16A-BF9B-457B-89AE-A9C01C95FF69.jpeg
Just getting my 4th set of rear Vredestein Ultrac Vortis fitted. Bought from Camskill for £206 pound including postage and fitted for 40 quid. Each set has got me just over 20k miles and the fronts last twice as long so still have another 20k left on them.
Looking forward to a slightly more composed ride and better handling
Yes I’d never used Camskill before as I’m lazy and kind of happy to pay the local tyre filter a bit more if they do a good job, but this time they messed up the order and said they couldn’t get them for another week. As I had already been waiting a week I got them from Camskill in two days. Brilliant service and saved myself nearly 70 quid!!ben g wrote: ↑Tue Jan 16, 2018 3:17 pmThats cheap.

As above the throttle response is very different much more instant the pressure required on the pedal is a lot less my car feels more lively and the steering feels lighter even though they say it feels more weighted may be its wired the wrong way round a bit like me and I really notice the difference when I go back to economy mode while driving car feels sluggish and heavy you can even here the revs change as you press the bottonrally-chris wrote: ↑Tue Jan 16, 2018 2:52 pmThat's not right Iain - the steering change is a bit subjective but the throttle response should be very obvious.

When I was looking at Z4s it was suggested to me that a common cause of the Sport mode to be ineffective is a problem with the Vanos system, i.e. Vanos running in a default mode regardless of sport mode setting. Do you know if your car has ever had the Vanos seals replaced (admittedly the N52 doesn't seem to have a widespread Vanos issue like earlier N series 6 cylinder engines). Might be worth a fault scan at our next meet?

It looks like I need to try it again then!GAZA62 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 16, 2018 6:39 pmThat's not right Iain - the steering change is a bit subjective but the throttle response should be very obvious.
