First drive of my Z4M today
Hi guys
I've had my Z4M roadster since Christmas, but have been busy on a refurb and fixing some bits so only just got to drive it for first time today.
Jeez what a car! Engine is lovely as well as suspension.
Roads are crazy bumpy around here but no problems at all.
Car seemed much lower than I thought it would have been, but that's cool.
Looked great as well parked outside the shop.
My only complaint is that even with aftermarket silencers, resonator removed and exterior cone intake, it's still offensively quiet. Engine needs to be much louder. Then it will be perfect.
hmmm what do to next...

It's either induction or exhaust as both don't go well together as one cancels the other out, IMHO...! I had a gruppeM with Supersprint power loops and didn't like the Gruppe, much prefer a naughty exhaust.

Glad you finally got to drive it, and it sounds like it was worth the wait.
Like john-e89 says for noise it's either induction or exhaust. My car came with after-market back-boxes fitted and I love the soundtrack as it is.

I guess the loudest intake option would be open velocity stacks? But pretty expensive for our engines! With my RPI's i've long ago gave up on trying to listen for intake noise just exhaust note now and the braaap bouncing off rock walls in the mountains is addictivejontZ4M wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 7:40 pm Hi guys

Clearly the patience of a saint, to wait since Christmas to play with your ///M.
