07 Z4MC photos/build thread

avsbmw · 12-07-2011, 09:33 PM

Finally getting around to posting some pics. I picked up the car from a fellow board member a month ago or so and have been enjoying it so much. I took it to the holiday laps at VIR. I came from a 01 Z3M roadster S54. I work around awesome cars every day but this thing is so much fun

CDV valve delete and Diablo exhaust has been installed with euro headers on the way

You guys have been awesome with help and thank you!

But to the important part the pictures... Here are some recent pictures plus some pictures from previous rides.

Oak tree turn at VIR BTW it was holiday laps with a pace car so no one wore helmets

This guy was terrible... he ran off the track and was right in front of the photographer lmao. I got stuck behind him for two laps before he pulled in the pits (there was no passing) and had plenty of room for several wide open laps

Previous 01 Z3M roadster

Preivous S40 T5 AWD 6 Speed and 07 Triumph Dayton 676

Very nice! Welcome to the dark side!

Welcome !

Can you compare your previous roadster to your current vehicle ? I've always wanted a z3 m.

avsbmw · 12-08-2011, 07:38 AM

The Z3 M was so much fun. The sound with the top down was amazing.

However, the Z4MC is better in every way. It is a lot more rigid which was what I was looking for. It handles better than the Z3M. I enjoy the 6 speed vs the older 5 speed. I like having more room in the trunk. It is nice having all of the updated creator comforts such as bluetooth, aux imput, and much better stereo.

Do you know the other MCs in the area? It would be awesome to meet up sometime

Shipkiller · 12-08-2011, 10:53 AM

Randy lives in WBurg. Jason lives in Suffolk.
I met another board member yesterday at Checkered Flag. I thought he sold his car but he just never drives it.

avsbmw · 12-08-2011, 10:55 AM

VinnieAces · 12-09-2011, 08:48 AM

Nice ride and cool pics! So do you still have the Z3M or did you sell it for this one?

Nikki · 12-09-2011, 10:08 AM

lollll this photo needs a caption.... "you're doing it wrong"

Nikki · 12-09-2011, 10:09 AM

btw, how was he going fast enough to drive off the track, yet helmets weren't required?

Gripster · 12-09-2011, 11:10 AM

Nice! Looks like my car's cousin from the wrong side of the tracks. Is that a GoPro mounted in that first pic? Pics are great and all, but how's about sharing the video?

The Honda knows it doesnt belong on the track. The owner is just being stubborn. lol

avsbmw · 12-09-2011, 04:15 PM

He wasn't going very fast at all just couldn't drive. It was a charity event so there was a pace and chase car to keep everyone from going too fast. They kept trying to get this guy to go faster for two laps and he finally got off and I had several wide open laps.
