Hi guys I'm new to the forum. I recently bought a used Z4MR( 2 weeks ago), black with leather fully loaded. Just p/x my 2.5i raodster. WOw i'm enjoyign it. Its great. The throttleresponse amazing, done a couple of motorway journeys and its been great. Bit twitchy in current road conditions, need to get to 3rd before my traction control plays havoc in ICY conditions. HAvent got the b***s to drive turning traction off. Looking at some track days. I live in worcester, havent seen any Ms, Any one aound here interested in a meet. cheers. will be putting the pics soon.
 
I'm used to a e34 M5 with similar power and no traction aids whatsoever, so I I'd have a go with the DSC off.

One 180º spin later and it was put back on :D

Even in 500 miles of below freexing Welsh roads, there was only the slightest amount of waywardness, and that was usually due to going round fast corners and getting a tyre onto the cats eyes and making the rear of the car jump sideways 6 inches :oops:

I'd guess you're about an hour from Castle Combe, Silverstone & Donington, and about 2 hours from Oulton Park and Bedford. Bedford is a great circuit for beginners or people with a new car, it's just like an airfield but has tarmac instead of concrete. The only problem with Bedford is the lack of reference points as it's so flat & featureless.
 
Damn.... so another M in Worcs? I'll keep an eye out. I know of another Imola red one near me, not seen a black one yet though.

Mine's in at Rybrook Worcs (taken over from Robert Sterns) having a new oxygen sensor and a few other bits including roof removal & refit to cure a wind noise problem.

Which dealer did u get it from?
 
I got it from dick lovett bristol. I didnt realise robert stern was taken over. I was there only 3 weeks ago. I had bought my Z4 from them before. I gotta go there next week- my BT not workign on the current model. I havent seen any other M around, but saw a M in silver today parked at Lister's AUDI in worcester. will post some pics. Havent had time to take some.

I heard that Sterns were in trouble! Didn't realise they have been taken over though!

Good price for that silver M. http://listersgroup.co.uk/Used/Vehicle/BMW/Z4M/3.2_2dr/1020682
 
Thats a great price though I paid 1k bit more for mine. I needed a black colour with red. Features are same except a 6 cd changer. Not the weather to enjoy it.

What's "Driving Dynamics Control"? Is it something standard with a fancy name, or is it just PR babble for good handling?
 
chetalien, which side of Worcs are you? Im out towards Stratford, keep looking for a black one to zoom past me... :driving:
 
I'm in worcs city- warndon villages. I'm looking forward to some good weather this weekend for a drive and some pics.
