Purchased a 2004 Z4, 3.0l a good while back, and usually drive it fairly gently. I had watched some videos on how to "Hot Rod" the car but it was only videos, no descriptions. I also read the owners manual but there again, it didn't have an area that stated, " if you want to burn rubber, here's what to do". :lol: Anyway, after watching videos and "googling" about it, I gave it a try. Turned the DSC off, pressed the sport button, mashed the throttle and .....absolutely lit the back tires up....startled the crap out of me. So I did it again and observed that the clutch did not engage till approx 4,000 RPM....dang cool! Then did the second gear shift and more tire squealing . I'm am continuously impressed with the power and performance of this car. I'm sure most of, if not all of you fellow Z4 owners already knew this but, just wanted to share my experience.:cheers:
Learned how to "Hot Rod" with the SMG transmission

Fastatv said:Lucky for me that my transmission still has about 18 months of warranty remaining, however, it would be a rare occasion for me to "burn rubber", I just wanted to find out how to do it. I rarely get the car over 3000 RPMs so hopefully it won't break......KevinC said:
