Zeezeebaba Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Well I've found a Z, should be picking it up next Monday. Although the M3 was a nice steer it didn't have the fun factor of the Z. It also attracted idiots like flies to a turd. Plus the temptation and ease at which it accelerated made it a danger to a petrol head like me. I've gone for an early 05 GT spec car. I knew as soon as I heard the exhaust note and felt the steering feedback in the Z it had to be done. Most people think I'm mad going from an M to a Z,but outright speed isn't my priority. A car that talks to me and makes me smile on the twisties means more. So bye bye M3 it was good but don't believe the hype it wasn't good enough. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeezeebaba Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 That's the strange thing I have always been a considerate driver but in a bmw or audi other road users on the whole don't like you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveyboy11 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Was it an E46 M3 you had? I find that surprising as although the Zed looks nicer the M3 is a better car, in my opinion! Still either way both great cars, welcome aboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudman Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) +1 on every BMW and Audi seem to have an almost magnetic attraction to the Zed resulting in a rear bumper to front bumper gap of 2 feet whilst in motion Edited October 1, 2014 by Mudman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmr1980 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I think a nicely fettled Zed is a good match for an E46 M3. Certainly on a track there's very little in it from my experience. The E92 M3 though is something I have to say is very very nice! Welcome to the Zed club though, we're far superior! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeezeebaba Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 I have an E46 manual, looks awesome and goes like stink. However the S54 engine requires more tlc than any other car I've owned.Every month there is something else that needs doing. It's certainly not the best car to own or drive. The E92 is better only by the virtue that maintenance is measured and incremental, nice V8 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeezeebaba Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 Nice engine when its looked after. I sold these to fund it, 330ci and my beloved FRP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveyboy11 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Nice, I have a soft spot for an E46 M3 I didn't realise they were much maintanance, my parents one certainly wasn't it was super reliable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeezeebaba Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) Good for them, did they have a low mileage one. Mine has cost me an average of 600 a month in maintenance over the last 6 months! Edited October 2, 2014 by Zeezeebaba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeezeebaba Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) The most reliable cars I have ever owned were 1) Honda CTR EP3 2) Focus RS every German car bar the 330 has let me down, Jap is the way forward.

sipar69 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Good points in your original post. It's easy to get hung up on 0-60 times etc but there's more to enjoying a car than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
