NEW to zpost...
Hi guys, this is my first post...first time i've seen this site. I've been an active user at bimmerforums but found that the z4 page is pretty lonely over there.
A few months back bought an 06 interlagos blue M coupe, 49k miles, warranty till 76k miles or 2014...so far so good. Started buying some stuff for it: stubby antenna, reflector decals, OEM strut bar and just some maintenance for now... Anyways, just wanted to say hi. And since I know it will be asked, this is the only picture i have right now. Yes, the one next to it was mine too, but sold it recently. Long story, but bought the car, afraid to bring home and tell wife...left at work for a few days till i could muster up enough courage to tell her |

GFERIL - noticed you're in SF
Hi GFERIL, I noticed your in SF and have an Z4 M coupe...proposition for you. In my car, audio sounds like crap. Particularly when there's a mid-bass type of song, stereo sounds like popped subs or something. Dealer has looked at the car, and said it sounds fine, and without having another to compare it to, they cant do anything.
Here's the proposition. I'm at Pier 39 usually on Saturday or Sunday. Would you be willing to meet me in the parking structure, let me sit in your car and hear your radio for 5 minutes? I'd be willing to buy you breakfast or lunch in return. Sorry I can't PM... |

The S52 is a great engine. I hear it's pretty bullet proof once you got a few things fixed. Any plans to mod the Z4M?

Be warned though, I have the BSW Stage 1 upgrade kit in my car so it is going to sound different (and in my opinion much better) than stock, but for what it's worth I was rocking the stock system for a while so I'll be able to listen to yours and let you know if it sounds off. |

As for planned mods, nothing right now, and because the car is still under warranty, I'll be doing next to nothing with it. I should just cash in the warranty and spend it on mods |

If you ever want to meet let me know, I have some basic suspension mods, Gruppe M intake, transmission mods, etc. and if you want to see what the car is like with those mods I'd be more than happy to show you. |

Welcome! I'm in San Jose area!
At first I hated the clown shoe Z3 coupes, but they're starting to grow on me. Anyways, the Z4 coupes are way sexier! |

As for the shoe, I think i miss the light weight flywheel the most, it was so fregging grabby and rev matching for downshifts were so much easier... |

Yeah man, if that's the case, then stay away, cause the sound of the GruppeM intake paired with the raw sound that the Option 1 UUC transmission mounts gave the car make this car sound so exotic when above 4K RPM. And this week I'm having a local exhaust shop put together a custom exhaust with Borla cans...so that is hopefully going to be sick...
