v8 in z4mc ?

i look inside the front of my z4c & whilst the 6 cylinder is a proven thoroughbred i hanker for the V8 that i had in previous 6 series.
immense torque, engine noise to die for & a noise from the rear you never forget .
just a shame mine was so problematic :x
the 3.0si still sounds well though when under throttle 8) pushed it over 5k today & a definite rasp before next gear could be heard :) nice

You have taken some foam out the sound generator too, right ? For impact vs effort that has to be the best mod possible. If you haven't done it then you're denying yourself even more aural pleasure 8)

Next time, push it to 7k before you change :evil: Awesome, considering it is *only* a 3 litre with nothing fancy about the exhaust. Driving behind an ///M at full chat is something else though - not sure it needs the v8 :wink:

Spot on bing, M is epic sounding...love it...(yes I enjoy built up areas and tunnels :D )
 
Yep - I was behind JamesG on the Sussex meet with the roof down :D

Great motivation to try and stick close, and through the Lewes tunnel was just fantastic... Especially with Jonnyfive hooning past in the opposite direction with his ever so slightly modified 3.0 exhaust.

BTW Paza, nice to have you back from the Porker forums :wink:

why was it so slow?
They were both slow - i.e. almost 14s 1/4 miles at 120mph or so.

A standard e60 M5 does the 1/4 in less than that (i.e. mid to high 12s), and it weighs 300kg more.

they all run slow at that event..... unprepared tarmac, the huge power cars are well behind advertised times.....
