I'm keeping the E89 as my daily. The 4C is a blast, but not a daily.

Well, I bought the Alfa 4C. Absolutely love it, but it would be a sin to use it as a daily. So I'm keeping the Z4. La Vita e Bella!

Relatively simple repair. Here is my tutorial.

Have you checked the state of the sensors?

Less engine shake at idle and firmer throttle response.

Well, I need to get something out of my system. There is an Alfa 4C for sale about 20 minutes away. I might have a drive out and try it. I'm retired and only put less than 5k miles on my car. Will it be too loud and uncomfortable, we will see. Maybe keep the E89 and add the 4C. Or keep the...
