Z4 no 4

Some interesting thoughts & all nice choices but they're not actually OEM factory BMW wheels :wink:
Tyred up this afternoon with Pirelli rubber , sealed with poorboys & going on tomorrow :thumbsup:

Well that was some testdrive :driving: 282miles to be precise with over 150 through the Aroad twisties of rural Wales from bottom to top
First leg from Swansea was riddled with plod but from Aberystwyth & into Snowdonia were free roads with no hassle , couple of pics en route either side of Bala
Car itself is a flyer , runs like a swiss watch , easy to get hoodwinked into thinking anything but a ///M is a stepping stone but the 3.0Si does everything so well & covers ground just as easy
"wowser" had polished the car in the week so it looked gleaming when i left , nice to meet you Ian & sorry i didn't hang around , the car felt tight & free of any squeeks, rattles or knocks . A credit to you mate :thumbsup:

Nice test drive,and v nice car Mr Wilks....like the current wheels on it alot(as well as your replacements)..good choice :thumbsup:
 
I can kind of get the idea of going back to a 3.0.…...you can drive them nearer their full potential than u can an m without scaring yourself. Don't get me wrong,the extra speed and grip of the m is good,but I used to go "foot to the floor" in my 3.0 fairly often,something in me holds back more in the m,as u find yourself doing higher speeds than u feel as though u are. Both are great cars.......for different reasons....back on topic,lol. Nice machine,black always looks so good on the e85 :)

In direct comparison with a Si the ///M car is a flattering machine :wink: i spotted it within a a few miles pushing on once off the motorway .
it makes a average driver feel competent whereas you have to work hard & stay tuned to exploit the Si
No regrets as yet & will enjoy every mile :driving:

I m sure you will......the m does flatter due to the extra grip from the diff,but to really get the best out of the m you need to turn off the traction control and grab it by the scruff of its neck,which alot of people never do with them....both are immense fun though :driving: :evil:
 
Wheels now on , happy chappy :driving: & for the number crunchers they are 4 x 8-5j et 38 with 235 40 18 front tyres & 245 40 18 rear tyres
