Z4M Ultimate Speed Run!

[scotia_steve74]

If any of you know of Alex Roy, the guy from Gumball and author of The Driver, he drove from NY to LA in a record time in an M5, in a little bit of a naughty way

These guys are using a Z4M Coupe to try to beat his team....

Some kit they are using...

Did you read one of the replies?

He may have a point! :

"If you were serious about this you would have got the e46 m3 for several reasons:
1. Z4 cars are not GTs the suspensions are extremely stiff and jarring.
2. They weigh close to the same as the e46 M3 and have less usable space for fuel cell and other equipment.
3. Wheels tend to follow curvature of roads meaning it's highly less predictable and more prone to accidents at 100+mph. This car is too scary at 100+ speeds, and you will surely kill yourself. Please do more research into what Roy did."

Saying that, it would be cool if they could do it in a Z4!

A remapped 335d would be a idea?! They have just come out in the States.

 

[mmm-five]

Wouldn't the G-Power Hurricane be a good bet - assuming it has to be a BMW?

M5 is the best. Could be tempted on one when I need 4 seats.....

Anybody know if the Valentine 1 is legal here? Using a hardwired Snooper S3Neo at the moment....

335d. The speed of an M, but less fuel stops.

Nice bit of technology. Were there any updates on if he progressed this 'run' idea

 

[Mr Whippy]

Yep, agree with others, 335d would be ideal for an endurance run at higher speeds.

I certainly wouldn't want to drive my Z4 fast for 32 hours, I'd be shattered after 2!

Automatic 335d with a remap, stick to the main roads and don't get silly with the speeds, just try to keep up a good average speed. A 335Cd would piss all over ANY M car at this task with it's cruising efficiency/GT alike nature.

I think the guy is going for it in the Z4M, they have to wait a while before telling anyone they did it for legal reasons possibly?

This car is vvvvv cool. Wonder what mods could be put in the Z4M
