Afternoon all! New here - picking up a 2002 Z3 2.2 M Sport on Saturday, silver with black leccy roof, black leather interior, heated leccy seats, a/c, 101K miles. Highest mileage car I've ever owned, let alone bought but I feel confident that these 6 pots are built to last.
A bit down on the horses from what I'm used to, last 2 toys being: Boxster 981S (315bhp, 0-62 in 4.8, far too precious, couldn't take it anywhere for fear of someone dinking it or worse); Scooby Impreza WRX Type UK (230bhp, far too frantic and didn't suit my suave and sophisticated presence - OK, I'm 56 and I felt a bit of a t*t in it ). Looks like I can squeeze a bit more hp and useful torque from the Zed via a performance intake kit (K&N?), remap and maybe a better 'zorst. Any recommendations for the intake kit and exhaust welcome please, especially the exhaust; I'd like something nice and sporty sounding to enhance the 6 but not drony.
I was after a 2.8 but only found sheds as I'd given myself a fairly tight budget. I wanted something I'd be proud to be seen in and getting out of (i.e. tidy) and using for a summer or two, with a longer term aim to tweak it somewhat (think Nubodi 250 SWB) and hoping that doesn't offend anyone here.
So that's me introduced and I look forward to sharing, banter, meet ups etc.
