For me it was, yes. A more freer revving engine with a lovely engine note, more resolved handling and without that feeling of having an anchor for a wheel at each corner. But you might find it different :)

The first E85 I drove was an Alpina S and to be honest, it put me of the range entirely. Dead steering, a chassis that felt like it had lead weights for wheels and a dull engine note. A few years later I drove a friends 3.0si which was a big improvement. No more leaden chassis and a lovely...

Another vote for the Goodyears, especially if you are trying to calm it down in the wet. Great tyres, although most premium brands a decent these days. Conti 7s get great reviews, but I've never liked Conti's in the past, so haven't tried.

I think your lady should be ok, the seat goes far forward and up. Best try it though :)

That's the one. It seriously improved the sound I got. Also turn down the automatic volume increase, this also boosts the bass way too much. https://z4-forum.com/threads/radio-volume.40798/

Find the post on here where someone did a spectrum analysis of the coupe top hifi system and provided a DSP curve that transforms it into something enjoyable.

I got this one two years ago, very slight shape difference, but good glass and works well. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290804756388

Go to your local paint supplier and they will match it as close as possible.
