This morning I was finishing up getting some gas. I looked over to the intersection and saw a nice black Z4 waiting at a redlight. I got in my car and merged with the intersection. As I was merging the light turned green and the Z4 pulls up next to me.

At first glance I thought it was two girls. The car then proceeded to pace me following in and out of traffic. As traffic cleared up I took another look over, it was actually some dood and his female companion. She looks over and waves and says to me "I love your car! the color is awesome!" I gave her a thumbs up and said "Thanx." Then comes the redlight, at this time she is talking to the dood in a whispering voice looking back and forth at me. At first I didn't know what to expect until it happened.... :rev: Goes the Z4. She looks over at me, claps and starts bawling out laughing. I then asked, "Are you serious?" The guy then said, "Yea man, lets do this!" I said, "Okay, lets go from a rolling start, I spin bad off the line and I don't want to attract too much attention from tire burnout," The guy nods, "Okay, sure tell me when."

Moments later, light turns green; we both steadily take off. I look over and told the girl to count to three, then we will go. At this time the cars behind us started honking because we were literally doing 15 mph. One.... Two.... Three, I waited until they took off then I dumped my clutch. After they took off, I clutched in, bought it up to 6000k and let her lose. The rear broke a little loose then traction came a split second later. Oh My! The Z4 was an automatic :az:

As I was going by in 1st gear, the girl looked over with that, "OMFG look." I continued to put multiple bus lengths on them until I let off at 70mph.

The couple pulled up next to me at the redlight and she told me, "Damnit, you almost made me go deaf, your exhaust is way loud." We BS'ed a little bit then parted our seperate ways.

Btw, it was a 3.0l Z4

Nice! If you run into a green Z4, tell them that GI Joe wants their car back!

I would have said, "Sure, but the winner gets to take the girl home."...

Surely theres better prey for your M coupe than 3.0 Z4s?

I guess the "vastly improved" suspension of the Z4 didn't really help much, now did it? :biglaughb

here we go with the typical kill story thread::

--faster car beats slower car--
"what did you EXPECT?"
"whats the point of racing someone with xxx less hp?"

--slower car beats faster car--
"thats BS!"
"the other guy probably wasnt racing"

--race from a roll--
"you know its not real racing if you start from a roll"

--two even cars match up--
"its a drivers race...you beat the driver not the car"

--other brand beats bmw--
"but at least i went home in the bimmer!"

--musclecar beats bmw--
"but i would have smoked him in the twisties!"
"at least i have a nice interior!"

i think that covers most of the responses...i say good kill to my m coupe compatriot...if the dude wants to run...run em and show no mercy!

Sweet kill! Another one for the ///M Coupe bretheren.

Unfortunately I've met a few Z4 owners that have the "I should be the only BMW on the road" attitude after I gave them the thumbs up.

Oh well, I'll always give any BMW owner the benefit of the doubt. :D

you should've handicapped yourslef and told the ambiguous dood to let the ballast of a girlfriend ride in the coupe.

Um actually some people are saying the z4 3.0 is faster than the S52 m roadster.

Nice Kill!
Funny how some poeple assume that since the "salesman" said it was better than the Z3, that it should smoke all Z3s!

Was the chick fine at least?

The best I've seen in the rags for the Z4 3.0 6 spd is 0-60 in 5.4 and 1/4 mile in 14 flat. So it's close, but not quite there.

If I recall the same rags got the S52 Roadster 0-60 in 5.1 and 13.7 1/4 mile...

I thought a Z4 3.0 only has like 225 hp.

Hugo

And the S52 only has like 240 hp.

The S54 Cou-pay should run in the low 13s easily.

Nice kill! I bet the look on that chick's face was priceless, and I'm sure you put the guy in his place mighty quickly. :buttrock:

He has the newer 315 horsepower engine.

S52 = the 240 hp motor used in the 98-00 M Roadster, and 96-99 M3.

S54 is the new 315 hp motor.

M54 = the new 3.0 motor (like in my car, and the 330, 530, etc.)

So maybe M52 = the old 2.8?

Acutally, the S52 in the M coupe dynos about 15-20 rwhp higher than the S52 in the M3.
Draw your own conclusion.

Well again I don't know what the S52 has to do with this S54 Engined MCoupe.

Here are this exact cars dyno sheets on a Dynojet.

279.1 RWHP
243.1 RWTQ
