Z4 3.0 sold.. Gone to the dark side
I have enjoyed Z4 ownership and it may happen again. It was a pretty much fault free enjoyable experience. Today I went and collected my Audi 3.2 black edition... Black exterior, black interior, black grill, badges wheels only thing that's not black is the driver lol

Z4 3.0 sold.. Gone to the dark side
Ive had 2 V6 TTs , such a a great engine for poke & tone
Compared with a straight 6 Bmw they feel so much more torquey from the off though that does fade higher up the revs where the Bmw comes to life .
Enjoy the change , i always returned to Bmw as the Audi's disappointed me with lack of feel & character keep us filled in with how it goes

Initial impressions on the change are ..
1: TT very refined and smooth feeling ..In the Z4 , you gotta roll up your sleeves grip that wheel , narrow your eyes ,remember to eat your weetabix and make a much more precise judgement of corner speed and throttle position or the bitch will bite .
2 : Its much quieter in a TT , engine noise , road noise etc much reduced from a Z4 .
3: Many more buttons to press in a TT and it comes with cupholders ...you wont beleive how much I like having cupholders again , its like rediscovering socks .
4: steering in a TT feels kinda like there is some wool involved , it is not as sharp and precise as the Z but has a forgiving feel to it .
How did you find running a TT in comparison to the Z ? Anything you would recommend I keep an eye on ? I know to lube the active spoiler and be very careful with the bonnet release ...umm it is on its second one of those already , I broke the first one on the dealers forecourt before I had even test drove it

It should do - it's got all that "vorsprung durch technik" malarkey (aka 4WD).Ethicsgradient wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2018 8:53 pmToday I discovered it works waay waay better than a Z4 in the snow
But that's also why it isn't as much fun on a summer's day on a twisty backroad!
