Good bye Boxster no 3 hello Z4!

[Mik]

I just put PS2's on my M and I am very happy!
Car seems to ride better and I don't notice any tramlining at all.

Were they conventionals or run flat PS2s ?

Hi and welcome to the forum. I got my first Z4 nine months ago and love it to bits - it is also a 2.0 but there is nothing "lowly" about that. The smaller engine makes for sweet handling and you just have to wring it by the neck which puts a smile on my face every time. Petrol economy can be really good too and I think you'll save a little bit on servicing costs, tyres, insurance etc over a 3.0

I have had enough of the runflats after 2,000 miles and despite the front tyres being virtually new, I changed the lot for Dunlop SP Sport 01 tyres at a cost of £414 fitted, balanced (Falkens were £300). I went for the Dunlpos because they are a quiet tyre and if I do get a puncture that can not be repaired, the tyre place is more likely to have a Dunlpo in stock than a Falken - my theory anyway.

The ride is much improved i.e. "normal" without the jarring over bumps. Tramlining is still there a bit but better than before. Hope you start to enjoy your Zed a bit more after changing the tyres

Yes much happier now that I got my non RFT s on. A 500 quid excercise though. I would be interested in driving one of the six pot cars to see what the extra wieight feels like up front

Mik, come drive my 3.0i with enhanced sound generator (I just sold my 986S and missed sound) in return for trying yours on the michelins
