M Differences

[Inuit]

'M's are only owned by blokes! :?

(The one exception will be along in a minute to prove the rule!)

I think you will fine there are a couple of us women M drivers. There must be few more out there somewhere? Only had it a month and love it, just took two weeks off mainly to drive the car, been great this week with the roof down .

In the ///M you have to wear sunglasses day and the night

:spy: is there any other way?

OMG... I think I'm in love :wub: A woman with an IR M! :drool:

Great colour and great car!

Shes got the better M Rick - everyone knows Roadsters are faster!

 

[Rick Hunter]

Um... yeah... I'll let you keep that thought.

But hey, if she says it's faster... I'll be a gentleman and agree.

different spring and damper rates, more agressive castor camber set up, just need to drive the m to feel the difference

Carbon effect leather trim exclusive to the M.

Not really an M difference, more a difference between M models. I read that the suspension is slightly different between M Roadster and M Coupe?

 

[daz05]

Yes Mark, the dampers are slightly different and the standard alignment is different too. Springs are the same though.

 

[mad4slalom]

Definately different spring and dampers, my arse can confirm that on a bumpy b road. More dynamic handling all round due to uprated m parts, why do you think they are different part numbers. Non m owners often try to maintain the myth that the m is hardly any different , then spend thousannds trying to replicate one. Stop trying to kid yourselves and go get one !

Much faster , much more focused , hard suspension , m badge , different bigger engine , need I say more , its got to be the m that you buy.

M suspension is not M specific, rather an option or standard on 3.0i. That said the axle itself is narrower, different ratios, LSD

Not true.

The so-called M Suspension on the 3.0 is just harder shocks and lower springs.

On the real M, the control arms are different - a quick look at ETK or RealOEM confirms that.

But it is the LSD, the hydraulic power steering and the engine that make all the difference.

The M gets more respect from other car enthusiasts. 8)

It runs on diamond filtered penguin blood and shoots rainbows out the rear exhausts.

 

[ChawenHalo]

The steering is hydraulic on the ///M and electric on the base Z4. Big difference.

What's the big differences you're supposed to feel with this and/or differences in suspension - more feel of the road?

No, just more uncomfortable.

Steering ratio is smaller on the M.

3.0 SI is meant to be a sweeter drive is it not?
