GT4 Zed

That's a date then👠Where are you based? We can plan to hook up one weekend when there's time to spare😎

Thanks for the head up but I'm really not going to mod this thing👀. Oh I've been checking on sc for the E92 and spoiled for choice. Easy 620bhp on stock internals!!! Tempting!!!

Pick up the meister yesterday and over the moon! The test drive did not really sell it but I guess when you own it it's very different! It slower than my sc zed and would even be slower when I get close to 700whp with my new engine and bigger SC but it is so competent, effortless and poised in all the situations I have put it in so far. It's relaxing to drive as there is no NVH like in my zed and cabin noise is minimal with just the induction howl and exhaust note to serenade you! The M mode transforms everything and my concerns about the EDC are gone. I can't wait to get it on track now!!! I swear I will not modify it except for, wheel spacers, better pads, dot 5.1 fluids and SS lines. Maybe KW springs if its abit wallowy on track but I don't even know why it shouldn't matter as the zed is getting stripped and caged over winter for full time track work. 🙀 I will take pics later in the weekend. Here with a teaser as I got back home yesterday. I really don't know if I should park it in the driveway and the zed on the communal parking😳. Nice problem to have. Looks like I will have to clear the garage and get the zed in there😎.

Nice one Kyle. We need to hook up and swap cars for a bit. Got the M3 V8 yesterday and very happy with it! I hope I don't regret to getting the M6ðŸ˜

FWIW Federal RSR are good and close to R888 from that list dowcra put up but if you want a tyre in a different league but still road legal then get the federal FZ-201👠I will be looking at these myself for next year.

Good luck with this chris but I'm afraid you will struggle with this SWB and engine spec to realize any major value. Subs for updates.

Nothing wrong with ksports from a functionality point of view. Ive had mine for 5yrs and has never ceased to amaze me how much value for money they were! Its covered about or over 500 Ring laps and numerous uk trackdays and +60k fast road/DD use. I still have the original rear disk and have changed fronts on average every 18months. To put in perspective how good they are is i can do +5 back to back hot laps in the Ring without fade and my only reason to come in is tyres going off with overheating. Similarly i do 6-10laps at bedford GT fade free. Yes the anodizing has faded and the bolts, brake pad retainer have surface corroded but its all there. I got everything blasted and painted easily myself. The other strong point is that ksport pistons never seem to fail! The key is getting the right pad for your application, refresh dot 5.1 fluid after winter and good braking technique. Ive used exclusively performance friction 01 pads until early this year i swapped to pagids RS15 which are similar on track but slight inferior for DD as they require more heat to perform but they are still better than any OEM set up and half price on PF 01. When they die i will go for pagids RS29s which have better endurance. With poor technique you will boil or overheat any brakes setup! This is the biggest issue and often overlooked. TBH the OEM set up with race pads, 5.1 fluid, braided lines and good technique will be up to the job on any track only difference with be heat endurance as they are a smaller heat sink but you can mitigate this by shorter stints on track to allow cooling. The hidden side of BBKs is maintenance cost for consumables. Its about £1k each time you replace disks, fluid and pads excluding labour if you are not mechanically incline. My advice is if you only do track a few times a year then stay OEM and upgrade the weak points.

Fwiw, I have headers, decats on a SC'ed car and there's no rasp.

Got coolant bottle in good nick.

Thanks for sharingðŸ‘.

Amazing!!!!!

Thanks for feedback guys! @ekona/ darryl I have my doubts about this too about the EDC and already plan to disable it. Yes yes I said no mods but I will be getting springs and an EDC emulator which are cheap. After that I'll look at pads upgrade and maybe decats, airbox and remap if there's any worthwhile gains. The car will come with 6 month warranty which I'll extend to 1yt then there after will look at what BMW has to offer. I'll keep the service with BMW to keep the residual high and hopefully use it to step to my great GTR itch. I really want to keep it simple with this one.

Kyle mate you are exactly where I was a month ago! I needed a car with 4 seats and a decent boot with low depreciation and the M6 was high on my list. And the porker was out but after doing my homework I decided the M6 maybe fast, luxurious and all but the M3 V8 ticks more boxes and though it cost more than the M6 V10 I was looking at, I think it was the right choice. I'll be picking it up at the end of the month and will report. On the other hand I think the depreciation will be lower on the M6 and for what they are and how generally owns or drive them they will be a better choice over the porker. However if its the dynamics you are after the 911 is a no brainer. One day I hope I can own a GT3 RS. Its one of the purest driving experience I've had on the road or track for a road legal car and up to that point I did rate porsches highly. Yo money up call😎😇

+1 Get a proper wing and sell that max power wannabe😜

More like it👠Just a question Bob. What's the output on those headlights like? Are they Bixenons or halogen? Are the UK compliant?

Can you expand on this Dan? @ Dazza B you know I trust you big time. @ dowcra................I am your father : lol: : lol: @ SMD I'm not a pimp man and definately would not want to be next to the Laguar barge 😜😜 and by the way the zed is still in the stable and when its revealed will be badass!! More WHP than I'll ever be able to tame👀

Sorry to hear your pain Grundy! You'll be back in no time. WRT building a forged engine give me a call. I have a spare block and some parts I did not use with my build in the states and can get you under your estimate. Pm me if you are interested.

...........And he's called the stig!!!!

:lol:

Ian why font you send me that ECU from you car anyway. You don't need it anymore😳

Thanks guys for the feedback. @Will, Ian what are you guys hiding from me? @ Ryan I did think of 335 oil burner but I hate the rattle on start up and really I do under 6k miles per year which will be split between two cars now! @N4eay: yes its SJ but never heard bad about them and just about 3months ago I bought an M3 E46 for a friend from them and the car checked out. Anyway thanks for the advice. I've ran a fine tooth over the car and will hand it to my local race shop who specialise in BMW to go over it and if anything is out of joint I'm off! In his defence they are very small and specialist and it's not a new ploy that traders try to get cars cheap hiding as personal buyers. Wrt previous owns that info is on the V11 or DVLA data base and check will reveal this. I go over to M3 cutter as it looks like I would be joining there too.

Thanks for chipping GM. EDFC is a DIY unless you want to pay someone to do it for you. Let me know if you want it. I highly recommend the TEINs and I'll get the competition ones if this sell. The KWs v3 have the best build quality and more street than track so TEINs feel slightly harsher but it's really comparing apples to pears as the KW clubsport is the Tein monoflex equivalent and its not built to the same high quality finish as the V1-3 and I suspect it would be harsher too.

I've just put a deposit on this puppy and everything being equal I should pick it up in just over 2 weeks when I can go and pick it up myself. I hope I don't change my mind. Audi RS4 saloon or avant are also tempting but I'm not so sure after I gave one a terrible beat down on a private road but four doors is appealing. Already been to see it and test drive this V8 amongst others extensively but I really want it spotless so its have a full in and out detail and change of front rubber to MPSS to match the rear. It's 2008 with only 44k on the clock and FBMWSH. As expected its a manual with full optional extra including EDC. I do not want to pay extra for the DCT gearbox. I've promised I will not modify it 1 bit. I was surprised how "quiet", "soft" and "slow" it was but I guess it would be when benchmarking it against my sc'd and track ready zed but I'll learn to love it and just enjoy wafting in decent power with no modified car drawbacks! I just need to be sure black is the best colour. I been to see a yellow, then red and white one before settling for the black on black. Has anybody here had one of these? Any things to look out for. I've trawled the inter web and covered the common stuff but just in case please divulge. Some pics:

Looking for OEM Revup ECU for short loan. I need this to facilitate a swap of my complete supercharger set up and to minimise downtime for both of us. I'll cover postage and beer money your way )

Got a passenger side mat in very good condition. No wear.
