Man I wish I lived somewhere with more interesting roads, there are some nice twisty ones near me but the road surface is utterly trashed, they never bothered to fix it since last winter bit of a shame really. Also if I remember right (someone feel free to correct me) First and second gear I believe supposedly have a bit of a delay on them from the factory so people like to put in a throttle controller to tweak the input (not 100% sure how they work im assuming it just tells the ECU to speed up the opening of the throttle body maybe) But some people swear they make a difference. Maybe someone who has done the mod would like to chime in
Still though glad you are enjoying the Zed, also kind of makes me feel better I was looking at an M3 at the same time as i was buying my Zed but looking into it now a lot of people seem to have issues with the M3.
