With the TC off, the Z4M is a daft little car

Serious question now.mr wilks wrote: ↑Tue Sep 04, 2018 4:25 pm TC off you must be one gifted driver at no point i ever driven any of my Zs & felt the need to turn that off
Sport button most definitely always on as well as countless spirited UK miles Ive covered hundreds of Z///Miles at full chatt through the Normandy countryside with 6-7 other M cars often pushing to the edge of safe speed for car & driver so i know what the car is capable of & pretty sure none of the others drive with it off .
How does it enhance the drive for you ?
No ive honestly never felt any interference from any driver aids whether that be setting off fast or thrashing it through the country lanes which is where i would cover the majority of my miles . I can't comment whether on a track it needs to be off cause ive never driven on one nor have any desire to do sodannytheduck1985 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 05, 2018 12:48 amSerious question now.mr wilks wrote: ↑Tue Sep 04, 2018 4:25 pm TC off you must be one gifted driver at no point i ever driven any of my Zs & felt the need to turn that off

You have never drove your Z4M with TC off ?
Not being a cock but you haven’t really got to know the Z4M........ at all. Now is the Perfect weather to find the minerals to switch it off. Then drive the routes you have previously drove......... with caution.
Leave enough space to let the back slide and keep the power on, don’t panic
Mr w knows his m’s Well enough. Followed him down some lovely roads in the past and never felt like he was holding me up in anyway. In fact sometimes didn’t have the skill to follow at the same speed.mr wilks wrote: ↑Wed Sep 05, 2018 7:40 amNo ive honestly never felt any interference from any driver aids whether that be setting off fast or thrashing it through the country lanes which is where i would cover the majority of my miles .

i'm not being a cock here either but honestly , i'm really not getting this tc off caper at all .
Why would travelling my normal routes & letting the back slide out with power still on make it somehow better ?
I'm not a fanny , i love to crack on when i'm out but on uk roads especially i can't imagine the point or speed where i would think to myself " hahmmm , not really doing it for me anymore , lacking that certain something , lets try it with tc off & see if that improves my connection with the car "
& when guys post " yea tc off in the rain = funtimes" with a 177bhp 2.5 auto that makes me pi55
Each to their own , if it makes you feel like youve got to know a car better with it off fair dos , i think after 13k-14k miles in 3 different ZMs i know them well enough to know that they can flatter & entertain me without turning the tc off
..weird. Mine is really smooth like it just cuts ignition timing slightly, then it comes back in progressively. Must be tyre related. I'm running Vredestein Ultrac Sessenta.
..don't get this at all, it's the same S54 engine but the exhaust is slightly more optimised on the E46. It's darn near instant, not sure how you could ever get much better without a much lightened flywheel (and the associated stalling when setting off issues).
All the sport button is doing is adjusting the throttle map as I’m sure you’re aware. What I mean is that on the M3 the default setting means there is a lot of travel on the pedal before the power kicks in. With the sport button on it brought about an instantaneous response. I don’t find that the case with the Z4M at all where the default setting feels just right to me. With the sport button pressed its almost like an on/off switch which gets wearing quickly.ph001 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 05, 2018 10:36 am..don't get this at all, it's the same S54 engine but the exhaust is slightly more optimised on the E46.

Just shows each of us have different views & preferences & possibly each of our cars functions slightly differently ?dgm wrote: ↑Wed Sep 05, 2018 10:44 am
