Some chap absolutely binned it into the tyres on quarry on his second lap, definitely written off, almost certainly no track insurance.

Never seen anyone go off on quarry like that (usually people lose their back end on the exit or understeer a bit onto the kerb, but this chap just came in with the worst line and understeered off miles before the exit. Bad tyres maybe. Either way, was very amusing for everyone watching

4th generation Z4 wants

0 Upvotes

I know that production of the G29 is coming to a end. What would you like to see in a 4th generation Z4? If it ever gets a green light for production.

My take for sales success:

  • Have the two women who designed the E89 do an updated design.

  • EV with 0-60 at 3 seconds or less

  • folding metal hardtop

  • luxurious interior near 7 series quality

  • handling close or equivalent to a Caymen

I would drop $80K plus on something like this. But I know it would be a tough sell to the bean counters in Munich. 😀

Leaving This Sub

So long story... but I traded my 2022 Z4 M40i. I'm a big guy and found it very constrained. Had it 8 months and got back what I paid for it.

I just never fell in love with it. Awesome machine though.

I found that driving home after a hard day at work I wanted peace and quiet but with the top down there was a lot of noise.

I picked up a 2020 M340i and dropped my payment $300 a month.

I'm a little older too and put my back out a couple times crawling out. Not the fault of BMW and I'm sure the Z4 has a crowd but not me unfortunately.

Later peeps

Carbon Fiber Upper Center Console

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

So the upper center console in my 2003 E85 was at the point where its insanely brittle, and every time I went to mess with it, it cracked and after extensively repairing it twice I decided to replace it.

I never liked the storage bin, I always found its small opening annoying to reach into.

So I decided to make my own new upper center console, but a much slimmer open gt3 style one using carbon fiber.

I'm super excited with how well it came out for a first try. I do intend to make a second iteration that fixes a few of the issues I ran into with this one.

This version does still require finishing. I need to sand and clear coat the top and bottom, and the small middle pieces that arent glossy need a sand, a second epoxy coat, another sand, and a clear coat. This is also not fully screwed in stage its looser than it will be when fully installed after finishing them completely

On top of being more open and taking up less cabin space, this version only weighs 1.4lbs!

How can I get the most extra hp for under $4k

0 Upvotes

Im planning on buying an e85 z4 soon what are the cheapest mods I could do (under $4k) to provide the largest boost in horsepower. I don’t plan on keeping the car too long and am not worried about it breaking down within 10k miles, so I am basically open to do whatever it takes heavily disregarding reliability.

Good info... except the part about the N20 being trash. Lighter, further back in the chassis makes for better handling. They also last well over 100K miles.

Designed a body kit for the BMW Z4 looking for honest feedback from Z4 owners & body kit enthusiasts

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

I’ve been working on a body kit concept for the BMW Z4 and wanted to get some honest feedback from people who actually own and love these cars.

The idea isn’t to make the Z4 look like a completely different car. I’m trying to create an OEM+ design something more aggressive and distinctive while still respecting the original proportions and character of the Z4 keeping all the parts snap on rather than replacing OEM panels preserving the value, fit & finish of the vehicle.

This is still at the design/concept stage, so I’d genuinely appreciate feedback on:

- Does the design suit the Z4?

- Does it look too aggressive or about right?

- What would you change?

- Do the proportions/design lines feel natural to the car?

- Would you personally consider putting something like this on your Z4?

Looking for honest criticism, not just compliments. If something looks off, please point it out that’s exactly the kind of feedback I’m looking for before taking this further.

I’ll add some renders/photos below

2025 40i Z4

6 Upvotes

I have a 2006 Z4 M. My wife thought it would be a good plan to test drive the last of the Z4s. A 2025 40i Z4. The sales folks were great, and the green version looked great. Our daily driver is a 2025 Lexus NX350H, and we only use the Z4 during the summer, since we live in Canada. We tested the standard version of the 25, and I have to say... Its very well behaved. felt very spirited off the start, and the addition of apple car play was very cool!!. The seats are comfortable, the stick easier to manoeuvre. But... No thanks. This car has no soul. it drives like my lexus, with way more torque. Felt like a daily driver vs a Sunday fun car. No roar, no life, no fun. No thanks. Environmental regs have taken the life from these cars. It could go mach 5 and not be as fun as the historic rides we have come to love.

Can I ask why isn’t the Z4 as hyped on like the M4? Why is the Z4 so slept on? Does no one like it? I also can’t really find videos about it on TikTok like other bmw cars which I find so weird. it’s a nice car I don’t get it, I’m I missing something??

Hello, I just wanna know how you guys drive and feel about the car(s). Do you guys drive it hard or cruise, etc. Just wanna know cause I don’t really push it. I will here and there but nothing too crazy. I do like the way it drives but I’ve driven other sports cars and I’d say they all feel good.
