What's the age/mileage of your zed? It looks in very good condition.

Hi,
I really like the look of your clear rear lights, especially on silver. Been toying with the idea of doing this with mine, but also like the blacked out ones too.
Oohh........... decisions, decisions.
Will you be doing anything to your front lights, i.e. angel eye conversion and/or clear fronts also?
I love my zed

I love the red leather interior... but their freezing in colds and sticky in hot weather.
You have impeccable taste, if I may say so.
Your car looks identical to mine (Arctic silver with Tanin leather), even down to the wheels, the only difference being that mine is April 1999 (the last of the pre-facelifts) and therefore has the double vanos engine.
I've had mine from brand new, and intend to keep it. Only used in the summer, and now on about 40,000 miles.
Happy motoring!

so mines a single vanos? Whats the difference?100GRA wrote:You have impeccable taste, if I may say so.

I think i use the search button
With acknowledgements to BMWworld.com:
On most BMW engines that use a single VANOS, the timing of the intake cam is only changed at two distinct rpm points, while on the double-VANOS system, the timing of the intake and exhaust cams are continuously variable throughout the majority of the rpm range.
With double-VANOS, the opening period of the intake valves are extended by 12 degrees with an increase in valve lift by 0.9 mm.
Double-VANOS requires very high oil pressure in order to adjust the camshafts very quickly and accurately, ensuring better torque at low engine speeds and better power at high speeds. With the amount of un-burnt residual gases being reduced, engine idle is improved. Special engine management control maps for the warm-up phase help the catalytic converter reach operating temperature sooner.
Double-VANOS improves low rpm power, flattens the torque curve, and widens the powerband for a given set of camshafts. The double-VANOS engine has a 450 rpm lower torque peak and a 200 rpm higher horsepower peak than single-VANOS, and the torque curve is improved between 1500 - 3800 rpm. At the same time, the torque does not fall off as fast past the horsepower peak.
The advantage of double-VANOS is that the system controls the flow of hot exhaust gases into the intake manifold individually for all operating conditions. This is referred to as "internal" exhaust gas re-circulation, allowing very fine dosage of the amount of exhaust gas recycled.
