I remember why I bought the Z4...
Discussion
Not taken the Z4 for a hoon for a while. But thought I'd go for one today. Roads are a bit wet, headed towards North Wales and visited a friend at his farm.
The farm has about 4 miles of lanes leading up to it, with the farmhouse at the end. Popped in and had a play on the quad bike and then decided to drive the lanes in the Z4. We parked his crappy Metro at the end of the lane so nobody could accidentally take the wrong turn and interrupt our fun (no reason for anyone to use the lane anyway really).
I had some pretty crappy tyres on the front up until the end of last week. Given the wet weather, it really did understeer when using a decent amount of right foot. Since replacing the fronts with (my personal favourite) FK452's it appears that it's back to it's old self. Front grips amazingly and a bit of a prod on the accelerator sees the back slip round nicely rather than the front carry on in the same direction.
Not much point to my story other than tyres guys, pretty important
