Well, for a daft laugh I stuck the Z4 on a rolling road the other day, interesting results, given how long it is since it's Inspection 2 (not sure if it's ever really had the plugs changed) it made pretty good figures and sounded incredible!
What was most surprising was that most of the other cars there (nearly all Civics) didn't make their claimed figures, the only one to acheive what it should have was an unmodified Type-R, everything with mods was noticeably down on what the mods were supposed to achieve. My car's totally standard and, given the fact that it's well due for new plugs I'm not surprised it's down 6bhp on the factory figure, but it seemed to validate the road results in my mind somewhat!
Look at that lovely torque line, it's almost diesel like
