128i vs Z4 3.0si

Both are really kind of numb and pigfat to drive both from actually driving them and knowing someone who's going to sell their Z4 to buy another Z3.

I'd recommend one of I6 Z3s or an E92 personally.

Damn I haven't driven one but I would have assumed a 128i wouldn't feel worse than a e92

Are you sure. I drive pic related and the steering isn't terrific either. The rack is so damn slow. The feel is pretty good, though.

>rack is slow
>z3

clearly, you've never driven an E36 or E30

Z3 racks are tighter than those two.

I wouldnt bother with the 1er unless it was a 130/135i. Z4 is clearly sportier and more fun, but you've got less space

Man im jelly

I currently drive a normal roadster, saving up for a clownshoe like yours!

t. Liar
You've CLEARLY never driven an e85 Z4

>>15389224
I don't care about space at all, there are just so few z4s in my area, I just worry about steering feel issues people seem to complain about

Have some self respect, OP.

Actually they fit the m versions with a slower rack than the standard z3's. I just now read up on that because you mentioned yours wasn't slow by any means. So yeah, so that's going to be my next mod then... it's a euro s50b32 btw, not the super rare s54

It's still a clownshoe anon

based.

I'll be getting an S52 and drive the living hell out of it, It's gonna be great, 250hp is enough for me, especially compared to the 175hp of my current Z3.

I'm a little weird though, i want an oxford green coupe, or alpine weiss but thats too rare..

Once your suspension gets tired treat it to kw v3, poly lollipop bushings upfront and h&r anti-roll bars. It did wonders to my clownshoe's handling. Good luck with pursuing your dreams. Cough-supercharged-s52-cough

>kw v3

personally i'm not a fan of coilovers on a car that i plan to drive a lot

i had some interesting experiences with coilovers with my old mk1 golf.

I'm currently thinking of fitting H&R springs on my Z to lower it a little bit.

Is this a 3L? How are these z3s?

>>15388733

why doesn't your friend just get a z4m?

I drove one of these today.
It was shit. My pigfat Audi is faster.
