a BMW 640d tried it on . . .

Based on those specs your mapped si should be pretty easily be able to do him, if his was remapped though think you'd have got smoked (probably literally too)

Yeah but he was getting 45MPG and his spine is still intact due to his luxury car :poke: :rofl:

Get some nice comfy 18's :wink: The ///M was perfectly comfy for the drive back from Skye last year. Had to stop for fuel and a traffic jam in Birmingham though. :roll:

The thing which never fails to impress me is how responsive it is. I've driven many a naturally aspirated petrol 6+ cylinder cars before, and the power is just so direct in the zed. When i drive a turbo... especially a diesel... I am always disappointed by the lag.

You should try a twin scroll z4 turbo, no lag! :o

I was on the A31 a couple of years ago - got to the junction for Farnham and went for the outside lane behind a 640d instead of Focus/Hyundai/mediocrity!

640 tractor pulled away like my mother would have done in her Fiesta, so with headlights on I got "close" to the tractor and then it woke up, in a big way! (Tw*t)!

I just about kept up, but the tractor driver bottled it at the next roundabout :thumbsup:
 
Think the driver was playing with you marlon, bad news 640d would leave you for dead if he wanted too :headbang:
 
3K revs :roll: . . . you were cruising Marlon :) There's the problem right there - you weren't ready . . . :lol:

Always impressed by those big diesel 6s - love their 'lift' but they tend to feel their weight when you hit the twisties . . .

I'll never know how hard he was trying, but there doesn't look much in it according to the stats.

More performance
1/4 mile 13.7 in the 640d
14.4 in the Z4

To me that's better than the 0-62 dash
Pretty impressive for a big barge, given the facelift Si is no slouch
Still as others have said the 640 would be history once you reached a corner :)

Its the 40D engine in my X6 and as far as I can find out it does 1/4 mile in 14.4 :lol:
In sports mode using the auto handbrake it takes off like a scalded cat, no way I could pull away as quick in our Z.

I just lifted the times from here:

There plenty of sites that cover all these stats if you chuck in a search or 2
Often difficult to compare same engine in different cars in a range as they often have different power characteristics, levels of power, car weight, 2 or 4WD, gear box ratios and final drive ratio, etc.

Made me look up my soon to collect F Type S
0-60 in 4.7 and 1/4 in 12.6 - Not too shabby for a Jaaaag
