Why about every other car marque?
This is a topic for GG or readers cars - not the Scotland part of PH
Well as a big fan of many of the M cars that BMW produce, I would have love to have saw some of the cars that people in Scotland may own, or have owned in the past. I think many people will enjoy seeing the different varieties of M cars that could possibly be in their area or just to enjoy some picture's from other owners in the country This is a topic for GG or readers cars - not the Scotland part of PH

Hi Mike.........goes like stink ! Came from a S2000 but nothing can compare the performance.
Build quality is top drawer, everything feels so solid no rattles or knocks. Engine sound is awesome, so was the S with the airbox off mind, but the Z is just up another notch or two.
Only had her three days but so far 11 out of 10!

Sound's like a dream. I like how the Z4M seems to just stop at the rear end. Its a neat look Build quality is top drawer, everything feels so solid no rattles or knocks. Engine sound is awesome, so was the S with the airbox off mind, but the Z is just up another notch or two.

Thanks for the comment and the one above. It's fantastic to drive, especially once into 50+ mph zones. The g/box, brakes, steering and suspension all work better at high revs / speed as does the engine It's also quite mechanical, the gearchange is very positive and direct and you feel each ratio slotting home. At slow speeds you can hear the engine sucking in air and also noise from the V8 is very distinctive. I still get excited when I start it from cold in the garage as cold-start sequence and fast-idle makes it feel special, the noise is more pronounced when the sound bounces of walls.
It feels really planted on the road and drive out of corners / junctions (even in winter on wet roads) is immense and I've only seen the traction light come on once! There's hardly any slack to the car once up to speed which makes the steering and feel of the car very positive and direct. The throttle and engine are particularly responsive, at idle, one quick blip and the revs will jump to over 6k rpm in a blink-of-an-eye.
It seats 4 adults in comfort, has a large boot and with EDC it's also comfy when required. The steering and throttle can also to set to various degrees of normal to sportiness.
I've owned if for almost 2yrs now and still go out for early morning b-road blasts to enjoy it and make full use of the rev range
Sounds brill. I've always like the aggressive looks on the E92. I bet that V8 is a beast like you said haha. Thanks for all the info mate.
