Martyn's Z4M Coupe

[Martyn]

Actually I may even be interested in it . Just checking it can be shifted without using the clutch pedal ?

It's the same as factory DCT, no clutch pedal.

 

[Martyn]

Well, the plan to revert the car to stock didn't happen, instead I sold the car in its current configuration to another forum member

Here she is before she went to her new home.














I'm sure you'll all agree that she's worn the 144,500 miles admirably

Hell of a thing Martyn, very cool project, and nice to hear it's gone as is to a forum member - hopefully they'll make themselves known in due course..!!

So pleased that this was kept as is. Such an incredible achievement.
Just sad that I didn’t get to see and hear it (being very local) or to buy it myself (if finances were much better).
These should go into limited production. A bit like eagle with the E type etc etc. but hopefully more realistically priced.
Interested to follow the next project.

You were the only obvious suspect. Congratulations
It must be an absolute rocket ship.
Hope to see you at a meet soon, enjoy!

Yes that's one hell of a car, good shout 1536Z4!
Hope we see you around Martyn and hear what else you're working on, it's been a fascinating thread this, thanks.
I'm also hoping now you've finished with the Z4 you've all the necessaries to release the ecuworx tool?!

You were the only obvious suspect.

Was it that obvious . I haven`t given it the full beans yet but Martyn gave me an idea of what it could do yesterday on the test drive before I took over and then drove it home . Martyn was great . He picked me up from Poole station in the afternoon and then went through everything with me . I`m sure I will be very happy with it even with the road tax being a complete joke .

good shout 1536Z4!

Thanks Tom

Congratulations on your new purchase, and welcome to the 'road tax is a complete joke' club :lol: drives me potty but heyho!

Let's be honest we all want to see an S65swap in an E86. I'd be queueing up for that!! 8)

I`ve got to say Vanne that your response is exactly how I felt about buying this car . Z4M with DTC and I were made for each other a marriage made in heaven as they say . Thank you .

 

[1536Z4]

how much did you get this beauty for ?

More than I can really afford and probably less than it was worth from Martyn`s point of view but a quick sale that I believe we are both happy with .

Congratulations.

Thanks Mr Tidy just need to change the colour of the wheels to black for you

It's your car now so just do whatever you want - up to a point. :wink:

I think Barty had a plan for an S65 transplant into an E86, but now he's buying a house it will be on the back-burner.

Personally I'd rather have a supercharged S54, although I do like the idea of an S85 transplant!
